Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle took to Instagram today to welcome the first batch of Disney College Program Cast Members after the program’s return.

Today was truly an exciting moment, welcoming back the Disney College Program and celebrating the arrival of our newest Cast Members. It was energizing to meet with some of these exceptional students and hear their excitement for starting their own Disney journey.  So many of our leaders began their careers on the College Program, and I’m proud to see it continue to develop even more Cast for the future.

The Disney College Program was shut down, and Cast Members were sent home last spring when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Today marks the first day of new Cast Member arrivals for the reinstated program.

Jeff Vahle greeted the incoming Cast Members at the new Flamingo Crossings Village apartments.
