I don't have any advice since I have never worked for Disney but I am interested in what you decide!

Rowdy Raider may be able to give you some insight!

What are you interested in doing?

Oooh, forgive me I read that as saying you wanted to become character. I should have taken my time and finish reading that sentense, before plowing on
Rowdy Raider is a CM who is nice enough to fill us in on some of the interesting things that go on in the parks.

Oh no, no no! You didn't read that wrong. I do want to become a character, but I understand how limited that is. So as a back up I would also like to assist the characters! :] So you were right.

But how come I wouldn't want him seeing that. lol. :]

Hey, Stacey, welcome to MB! I never did the CareerStart, but I did do the College Program my freshman year...not sure what you're options are, but best of luck to you!

I will give you a heads up, though. When you're workin for Disney and you are hired as a character, the term used is "friends with". Like one of of my roomates during my program was "friends with Eeyore" or "friends with Chip and Dale". A guy at my school was actually hired for the College Program, and he will be friends with Peter Pan. That way it retains the magic.

Keep us posted on your endeavor!
