An interesting internship that many college students partake in for a semester or longer involves working in a kingdom, creating magic on a regular basis, and having a mouse as a boss. This internship is the Disney College Program. The Disney College Program (DCP) is a semester long internship where college students work in either Disney Land or World for 4-8 months while getting internship credit and employee perks, such as cast member discounts and free entrance to the parks.

Although it sounds, for lack of a better word, "magical" to spend your days riding rides, meeting your favorite characters, and getting to eat anything shaped like Mickey Mouse for a long period of time, the College Program is anything but perfect. Having the goal be to create magic everyday can feel very rewarding but also be exhausting when working 30+ hours a week. Many college students come in with promising hopes that because it's Disney that they'll love anything they do. However, depending on your role or where your work location it can feel unfulfilling and make you question why you signed up for the program. At the end of it all having the Walt Disney Company on your resume isn't too bad of a reason to continue on, but to any College Program hopefuls, be mindful that it's still like any other job and you might need more than faith, trust, and pixie dust to get you through it.
