Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 days)
I was recruited at the career fair and then went to two technical interviews with Disney Resorts and Parks. They tested data structures and web programming topics. I would say that people should definitely review popular web programming practices.
Also, it seems their work culture is very dynamic and competitive. They really like competing with their Orlando studios in coding competitions.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
The interview starts the minute the recruiter greets you. I was asked questions while being led down a hall to an office. You don"t have time to think, and I didn't show the correct enthusiasm for the monorail position. It was the first question, and I indicated that it was something on the job list that seemed interesting. I tried to go back to this position during the interview but was told that I would not get a second interview for this job. I ended up bing wait-listed for a foor service helper job.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
After applying online for this position, I was contacted about a month later by both the manager of the department and a recruiter. I had a phone interview with both-the manager gave me a "technical" Interview ensuring I had the expertise that my resume implied and the other interview was an HR interview where we discussed things like my salary requirements. After these interviews I was then contacted for a panel interview, where I went in and answered more in depth questions from 3 people on the team. Question pertained to how I had handled and done things in the past and also "what if" scenarios (how I would handle them). I was very confident in my knowledge and abilities, but could see how this type of interview could intimidate others. I was also given an opportunity to hear more details about how they worked and ask questions about the position. Everyone was very upbeat and made me feel comfortable. The work culture seems pretty typical for an office environment, with cubicles and the dress code being "resort casual." Of course it IS Disney, there there are plenty of pictures and disney elements throughout the building.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Lake Buena Vista, FL (took 3 weeks)
I was told at the casting office to watch on WaltDisneyWorld.jobs for a posting for a seasonal position. After finding a posting (for "convention guide") for which I qualified (kept checking daily for about a month), I filled out the online application. It was accepted so I was told to take an online interview within 10 days. I did that on the second day and was told immediately that the interview was successful and that I should schedule an in-person interview. The timetable offered encompassed about a week and a half. The day before the interview I had scheduled, an auto accident caused me to have to reschedule. I was told that I could reschedule any time before my appointment, but that I could only reschedule once. I did so, and arrived at the casting center 2 weeks later for my interview. I watched a short video there about 3 times while waiting to be called in for the interview. The interview was casual and pleasant with questions like why did I want to work at Disney, why did I apply for this particular job (it was the only one posted for which I qualified, plus I really thought I'd enjoy it), and was I capable of the lifting and walking this job might entail. I was told that there were no immediate openings for the position but that I'd be waitlisted because things should open up again after the first of the year. As my daughter put it, I got the job-- there just wasn't one. I was told I could specify one other area for which I could also be considered. When I said that the two areas I had specified, when given that choice on the online interview, were "concierge-front desk" and "park-greeter", I was told that now only one could be noted. Since I was told that "concierge-front desk" was extremely popular and was hired by transfers from within, it would be better to specify "park-greeter". I was also told that my interview could be rated "met expectations", "exceeded expectations", or "greatly exceeded expectations". A "greatly exceeded expectations" rating would put you to the top of the waitlist. That was on 12-19-2011. I have not yet heard anything as of 1-9-2012.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Orlando, FL (took 2 weeks)
I applied in March and didn't hear back. Re-applyed in September and did the online interview then got a 1 on 1 interview setup. After filling out my online application I got the e-mail for the online interview 2 days later but was told my application was experiencing technical difficulties. After two weeks of waiting I was able to schedule the 1 on 1 interview. I dressed very nicely for the interview and arrived early to a medium crowd at the casting center. Waited about twenty minutes then I was called back after watching a short video over and over in the waiting room. My interviewer was very nice and asked basic questions. Why do I want to work for the company? Name a time you went above and beyond for a customer at a former job? Do I know what it takes to be an attractions attendant? After maybe twenty minutes of interview questions I was basically accepted pending a background check. I was led downstairs and got finger printed and was told they would get the results to me within 5-7 days. It was six days later that I was contacted and was told I passed the background test but that there were no jobs available at this time. My recruiter informed me that I would be put on the wait list for my top two choices(attractions,custodian). I have called my recruiter twice to inquire about possible openings but was told there were none. As of DEC 27 2011 I have not been offered an actual position. Very disappointed as I know Im way more prepared than alot of applicants.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
Initial recruiting interview conducted over the phone. Second interview brought in for a 2 hour panel interview with 3 different panels. Panels asked a combo of fit questions and technical questions. The technical questions were specifically related to corporate finance and variance analysis. Questions ranged from broad to very specific regarding hypothetical projects.
