Hey there! This video is everything I know about the role of Children's Activities on the Disney College Program! I definitely think this role is a hidden gem among them and if you love lots of guest interaction, crafts, public speaking and aren't afraid of getting a little messy you'll love it!

i went to animal kingdom around 10 years ago (7 or so years old) and one of my best memories was singing and dancing around the animal kingdom lobby while playing the instruments they brought us. it was even better that night to walk into the pool and see that there was a movie set up on the pooldeck and we watched the lion king from floaties in the pool. it was amazing. you truly do create magical moments.

I would love to do BBB or children’s activities because I’m an elementary music education major and I want to have a lot of children’s guest interaction. this made me so happy and I really hope I get in for it! it sounds like a dream job! For a student learning activity, I had to create my own lesson and teach it and I decided to teach music form through choreography so I taught “trashing the camp” from Tarzan and the kids loved it!

I just scheduled my phone interview for spring 2020, but I am really worried about finances, if you don't mind my asking how many hours would you get a week? and is it doable to do the program with other bills besides the rent?

@user-jg9iz8mt1n 4 жыл бұрын

you can get anywhere from about 25 to 40+ hours a week. it just depends on your role, your location, and if you’re able/willing to pick up shifts. if you have other bills to pay, like student loan payment or a car payment it becomes a lot more difficult. you definitely have to budget and save most of your money. you don’t have as much money to spend on things you don’t “need” like merchandise and extra food and snacks and things. you’ll have to be really smart about budgeting for groceries and gas. it’s pretty difficult honestly. after your rent is taken out you don’t have much left over. i highly highly recommend saving as much money as you can to have before you leave so it will be less difficult. and keep in mind you’ll have to live on that until you get that first paycheck a few weeks in! if you have other payments you have to make you have to be willing to make sacrifices but i think the disney college program is well worth it! don’t let that be the reason you don’t go for it!
