Applying for Disney Professional Internships!
I've been trying to write this post for about 2-3 weeks now and finally I have the time! About 2 weeks ago I applied for 3 Disney Professional Internships. They are
- Public Relations at Disneyland
- Public Relations at Walt Disney World
- External Communications at Walt Disney World
The first two are almost identical except that one is California and the other is in Florida. As much as I loved my college program, going back to WDW isn't my first choice. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it there but Disneyland was always the place I wanted to end up at. I was born in southern California and it was the first park I ever visited. Heck, I have so many memories there from eating fudge for the first time on Main Street with my Grandpa to getting my first princess dress equipped with the shoes and crown too (it was Belle's dress). Also almost all of my extended family lives in California, so being back in an area where I could see them more often would be amazing. And thirdly, lets face it, California is the best place in the U.S. Okay--so I haven't been to every state, but I can tell you I like it way more than both New York and Florida. Mainly because the sun never stops shining and the humidity isn't outrageous. Oh and did I mention the Mexican Food there is by far superior to any other state? Oh and the beach.
Anyway, I'm getting off track. Any of these internships would be a great opportunity and really lead me toward the future that I see for myself. I know I want to work for Disney in a more corporate setting and that I'm as passionate as ever about the happiest place on Earth. It is true, once you finish the DCP you'll be even more obsessed with everything Disney than before. I am getting a little antsy and nervous because many people are posting that they're setting up their interviews, or their status on the dashboard changed from "submission" to "in progress," and mine hasn't. I'm sure it means nothing too serious, but at the same time I'm so ready for an interview.
Well here's fingers crossed!! Tomorrow applications close for all professional internships, so in the next week I should be hearing something!
Hope everyone has a magical weekend :) xoxo
Awesome! I am also in the process of applying for the internships for various communication related internships. Why did you only apply to 3 if I may ask?
ReplyDeleteCool! Which did you apply for? And I only applied for three because a) they were the most interesting to me out of the bunch and b) many required as a "basic qualification" other public relations internship experience and this would be my first real PR internship. I've been applying like crazy to a bunch of other places in NYC (my school is near there) as well. Just trying to get started somewhere and Disney is the place I want to end up, so I thought I would put my best foot forward and try!
