Staying in touch with Mickey

Congratulations, you made it through the Disney College Program! If you were a good employee and did not call in too many times you now have good references from your managers and coordinators and you may also be able to keep your job with the company.

There are several different ways to remain a Castmember, assuming you do not have too many points on your record card.

1. Become a Campus Representative. Being a campus rep. allows you to keep your "Disney Benefits," namely getting into the parks for free, while working on your school campus for Disney. You are responsible for organizing events to recruit other students to go on the College Program.

2. Become a full-time Castmember. You would have to quit school and move to Orlando and find a place to live but then you can start working your way up the ranks, going from regular Castmember to trainer to coordinator then to manager.

3. Become a seasonal Castmember. The requirements for being seasonal continuously change. At one point you had to work 40 hours every six months. Now as long as you work a full shift once every six months you keep your seasonal status. I have kept my seasonal status for two years and plan on keeping it awhile longer.

By keeping contact with Disney you are able to go back to work at any time, and it is much easier to get chosen for a Professional Internship which is more prestigious and closer related to your career.
