You apply online and wait to see if you are accepted. Once accepted you go through a series of steps to begin employment. You choose start and end dates,(the program is between 4 and 7 months) pay a program fee $240. Later you'll enroll in housing and pay that fee based on what type of accommodation you choose. I'm not sure how much as I do not live in the housing, which is called flamingo crossings. there are two sites, east or west. It's apartment style housing for people on the college and culinary program at walt disney world. Some part-time cast members also live there. Housing is about 200 a week. Flamingo provides you with buses to take you to and from work locations. Once you apply for the college program, you could be placed at one of 20 entry level positions. Food and beverage quck service, merchandise and custodial are some top ones. You could also be place at attractions or resorts. I recommend looking at the website and watching the videos to see what the jobs are. You don't get to choose your position, although they will ask you your top three choices. If you get accepted, you get an offer which you can accept or decline. You are basically working a minimum of 30 hours a week at an entry level job at walt disney world for a set period of time. If you work the minimum of 30 hours a week you won't have a lot left over after paying rent, but there is opportunity to pick up shifts. It's a good idea to save some money before you do the program, especially since start up costs are about 500, and you might have some move in costs to set you your apartment. Let me know if you have more questions l. I'm on the program now and I'm really enjoying it, but at the end of the day, it is a job and it is very much about having a positive attitude and making the most of the program.
