Interviewed Aug 2009 in Kelowna, BC (Canada) (took 7 months)
It was pretty bad, a director sitting reading his phone the whole time. A producer who rates people based on their outgoing nature. It felt like an interrogation that they didn't want to be at. In the end I got the job. It took month and months of communication to get the ball rolling. Disney moves very very slow. For a company who wants to stay ahead of the curve they just cant react to anything quick enough. Way way way to much overhead for everything.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The Disney interview process was great in that it gave you a wonderful idea of what they were looking for in future Cast Members. The entire process was professional and engaging, although a little less personal than it used to be. When the phone interview and in-person interview we're completed, I also had an idea of what parts of the job would be enjoyable, which would be challenging and which would require me to be at my best. The recruiter was wonderful at putting me at ease. While I was working remotely, with regular communication I felt like I always had resources at my fingertips.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Burbank, CA (took 2 weeks)
Contacted by HR and called in for interview with recruiter within the week. After that it took about a week to get in to interview with the hiring manager (VP Marketing). While she expressed a great deal of interest, she claimed to have other people still to interview It was about another week before I called and followed up with the recruiter, who then followed up with the VP.
The VP asked if I would come in and work as a temp for a couple of weeks to make sure it was the right fit for both of us. The recruiter said she was really disappointed in that offer because I was called in to interview for a full time position, but I was fine with it. I've heard that this is not an unusual practice.
I wanted the job so I agreed, but it was actually more like 7 weeks of temping before I forced them to make a decision. They offered me the permanent position and I accepted.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiating on the salary or benefits. Make sure you get information on what the position has historically paid, because I've learned other coordinators were brought in for as much as $10k/year less than I was offered. I think that would be your best information with which to negotiate.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
Very simple interview process with only 2 in person interviews and one phone interview. One with the reciter and one with the director of marketing. The planning was inconvenient because the interviewers were not able to meet on the same day or time.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Burbank, CA (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview with recruiter. Followed by phone interview with a manager from the department. Finally asked to come in for an interview with the recruiter, manager, and director. I was told I would hear from them in a week. More like 6 weeks. Not very professional of Disney.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Burbank, CA (took 2 weeks)
You will talk to several individuals at a variety of levels. Find out, though, who really has the hiring power. It may not be your direct supervisor. Be energetic and friendly, but not fake. They like people who have a genuine like for Disney. Find out why the current opening is vacant and how long it's been posted internally. If it's a recent posting then you probably don't want to spend much time on pursuing it because they will look for internal candidates first. Be ready to talk about working in a matrix organization because the company is very matrixed, especially on the technology side.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Burbank, CA (took 5 weeks)
HR was very professional and in touch via phone and email. The dept. I was interviewing seemed scattered and wasn't prepared the day I was to interview with the team. I was told in the end that I hadn't the experience, but was one of the final two choices. I think if it was because of a lack of experience they should have told me sooner. I have a feeling it was something else, and they are not saying.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Burbank, CA (took 2+ months)
It was a bit long and strewn with red tape, but well worth every bit of the effort. I got my foot in the door here with a 3-day temping position through AppleOne Staffing Services. While here, I found out about a job opening, and applied immediately.

I wasn't really able to negotiate too much. I told them the minimum I would be able to accept the job for (which was higher than what I needed) and got it.
