The programme runs from the 2nd June - 7th August, and whilst I'm there I will be living in the Disney Dorms (accommodation built specifically for us students to live in whilst we work during summer), and working at one of the theme parks to earn my wage.
The program gives students from all around the world the chance to leave University behind for the summer, and come to Disney to culturally interact with one another through living and socialising. The program also gives us the opportunity to meet and network with some of the people behind the Disney brand, which is absolutely perfect given the degree I am doing.
Whilst I am there I will be working in operations, which means I will either be working on one of the many attractions Disney has to offer, or meet and greeting people that enter the parks, or working behind the ticket counter. I won't know my specific job role until I get there, but any one of these will give me the opportunity to interact with guests from all over the world, which will give me the chance to put my good PR social skills to use. Remember- its all about the clean cut Disney image and brand rep, and a public relations student of all people should know how important that is! ;)
I cannot wait to jet off to America for a fun-filled Summer at Disney, I am hoping this experience will help me grow as a person, and will continue to fuel my desire to achieve my primary goals of becoming a public relations professional. Hopefully I will develop life lessons and skills along the way that will be crucial to working in the industry. I am incredibly excited to begin this journey and I am so very grateful to have been accepted from the thousands of applicants that applied...
Orlando here I come!
