Disney Continues Suspension of Its College Programs
December 16, 2020, 2:57 PM ·
It is appearing increasingly likely that Disney will not be welcoming College Program cast members to the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts in 2021. Today, Disney Internships & Programs posted an update to its social media accounts that confirms the company has not been recruiting participants for its college program or other internships since suspending them earlier this year.
The Disney College Program typically supplies thousands of cast members to work in the parks each semester and during the summer. But with Disney World operating at 35 percent capacity and Disneyland closed both for the foreseeable future neither resort will be needing a fresh crew of new employees so long as this pandemic continues. Especially not while thousands of parks cast members remain on furlough or have been laid off with return rights.
