Interviewed Jan 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 5+ weeks)
Getting an interview at Disney is the hard part. They often fill posted positions internally and rely greatly on references. Try to track someone down at Disney to refer you when you apply for a job. The interview process starts with a phone interview from HR, then they bring you in if it seems like a fit. The whole process from the HR call to an offer can take a long time - probably 4 to 8 weeks.
My interview was fairly long. I met with 4 different people, 30 minutes each. Questions were standard. They like to make sure you're a fan of the Disney brand and that you've had experience working on brands with strict guidelines. There are a lot of people at Disney who live and breathe the brand, so try to be excited, upbeat, and positive. They might ask questions like "What's your favorite Disney character?" Culture is very important to them. Make sure you don't dress overly formal. The people who work there tend to be friendly, confident and warm.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
For every position there is a range of roughly 10k. Definitely negotiate to make sure you're coming in on the higher end of the spectrum. But ask for anything outside of that 10k range they are going to be totally inflexible.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
The interview process included iniatial phone screens with recruiter and hiring manager. Within a couple of days, I knew whether or not I would be asked to come in for in-person interviews. The onsite interviews was about a 1/2 day in length and consisted of 1:1 interviews w/ peers, technical/engineering, business partners.
The questions were primarily functional (tell me a time when you did x) or behavioral (how would you handle a difficult colleague). PM role questions are focused more on assessing the process, communication, and organizational capabilities over technical acumen (you aren't expected to code).

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Burbank, CA (took 2 weeks)
The recruiting process was a mystery for me.
I applied online for a web/html developer position.
Initially, a recruiter called me for a position for a position in international software
development. It was a casual talk about my general background and exp.
Then I never heard back from her.
Seems that these contract recruiters, though they only hire for Disney, work like freelance
placement agents. They simply work to make commissions, it seems. Nothing was clear,
whether the position is open, or what skill sets they are looking for.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 3 weeks)
A recruiter contacted me and was wonderful through the entire process. My writing samples were so good they skipped the phone interview and brought me in for 4 1:1 interviews. I made a PPT presentation for them to take away. The people at Playdom were all very nice and the corporate culture very young, mostly undert 30. I didn't get the job offer because they wanted someone with very recent interactive creative copy experience, and mine was a little dated. But if you'd be in the industry, you'd have a shot.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 6 months)
The hiring manager and his coworkers asked me some general technical questions but didn't present too many hard questions like algorithms or programming challenges. They are more interested in my resume and background.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 2 weeks)
Interviewed in person. Things seemed to go ok, so I was interested to hear back. However, after the interview I was never contacted by anyone at Disney again. I can live with not getting the job, but for them to not have the courtesy to let me know was just plain unprofessional. My advice is to look elsewhere for a job where you will be treated with more respect.
