Analyst, Corporate Finance/Parks and Resorts Global Development at Disney Parks & Resorts
No Offer – Reviewed May 3, 2013
Interview Details – On campus, 1 on 1 interview. Did not make it to the final round. The interviewer was very cordial and not overbearing. It was mostly a fit interview and at the end he asked a few technical questions, but nothing too difficult. He did mention at the beginning of the interview that there were over 500 Ivy League applicants to fill 2-3 spots, so don't hang your head if you do not get an offer.

No Offer – Interviewed in Anaheim, CA Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 26, 2013
Interview Details – wait to be called up; the interview went well and fast, although the lady sounded as if talking out of a script. My position "wasn't available" so another option was avail. which sounded great, only for her to tell me that they would "get back to me" ... Which I was confused by...but I guess that's how Disney rolls. I had other Disney interview that went about the same.

Attractions Cast Member at Disney Parks & Resorts
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Anaheim, CA Mar 2013 – Reviewed Apr 11, 2013
Interview Details – Filled out online paperwork and never got a call or email. Waited 6 months on the dot and applied again. Was emailed within the hour about an online interview(really easy basic personality questionnaire). 20 minutes after that emailed to schedule a face to face interview within the the 7 next days. Showed up 20 minutes early, waited for an hour and finally got in. Really basic tell me about yourself, why do you want to work for Disney?. After interview I was told the initial job I applied for would require a 2nd interview and the next available date for it was in June and it isn't guaranteed I would be hired for it. Or I could take an attractions job and start immediately, so I took the guaranteed money.

Lodging Management Internship at Disney Parks & Resorts
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Orlando, FL – Reviewed Apr 10, 2013
Interview Details –
The first step in the process is sending in an electronic application along with your attached résumé. Shortly after that their computerized system weeds out the applications that not suited for further phone interviews( it should be noted that I was originally weeded out by the computer but got a phone interview which they overrode the computerized system and allowed me to proceed in the hiring system).
The phone interview consists of situational and behavioral questions. Unlike the review before this, I believe that these questions were very simple for someone with previous experiance in guest service. I felt it was a very fair and balanced interview.
About three weeks after this phone call I got an email to schedule am in person interview with three lodging leader ( a panel interview). Your interview may also be over the phone if you are not close enough to complete it in person. This interview asked leadership style questions. Again, very straightforward. It may be intimidating for some with three leaders listening. But I personally had no problems . I was contacted about my offer three weeks later.
Now I will agree, the process is lengthy, however it needs to be to accommodate such a large volume of applicants. Disney is focused on finding the best candidate. Patience is nessesary in leadership so you must be able to handle it in the process
I did recive an offer for lodging managemt internship. .
