Why are you interested in the Disney College Program?

• A. I don't know
• B. I want a once-in-a-lifetime work experience and to contribute to magical memories
• C. I need to save money for college
• D. I want a casual job without training

Answer: (B)

This question rewards motivation that lines up with Disney’s guest-focused culture and opportunities for growth. A strong answer demonstrates genuine enthusiasm for creating magical experiences and a willingness to contribute to that mission over the long term. Saying you want a once-in-a-lifetime work experience and to help build magical memories shows you’re motivated by the impact you can have on guests, and by what the program offers—professional development, teamwork, and serving as a positive representative of the Disney brand.

That kind of intent signals commitment to the guest journey and to growing your skills, which is what the program is designed to cultivate. In contrast, expressing only a financial goal or describing the role as a casual job without training doesn’t reflect the same level of interest in Disney’s values, training, or the immersive experience the program aims to provide. A response focused on magic, learning, and contributing to memorable experiences aligns best with what interviewers are seeking.
