A Disney College Program alumni shared his experience with the program and all the benefits it offers young adults. 'You're going to get transferable skills that will last a lifetime.'
Applications are open for the Disney College Program, an opportunity for college students and recent grads to learn and get paid at Walt Disney World.It's one thing to experience what's known as the most magical place on Earth. But how would you like to be a part of making Disney magic?
"As someone who grew up really loving Disney storytelling, I knew I had to take that chance. Nothing can prepare you for the excitement or the advantages you get from this program until you're there," said De Hoyos. "Even if you don't get the role that you necessarily desired, you're going to get transferable skills that will last a lifetime."
One of those people that De Hoyos met while in Florida and still keeps in touch is Heather Luckey, who now lives in Houston as well. She worked in hospitality and tourism management while participating in the Disney College Program, and now owns her own travel agency.
