Not Ready to Say Goodbye?
Apply now to extend your Disney journey and continue experiencing, studying, and creating magic!
We are seeking dedicated Disney College Program participants departing in July or August who are interested in extending their program for a few more months.

All applications must be submitted by Friday, May 8th at 3:00 PM ET.
Late applications will not be accepted.
What to Know Before Applying:

- We do not require a resume and cover letter for this application. When prompted, choose to "Use Your Profile" in place of a resume.
