Disney Class Registration

As my arrival date creeps closer, there is still so much to do! The latest step in my journey was registering for Disney Classes. While participating in the DCP, you have the option to take collegiate courses, seminars, or exploration series. You can choose up to 2 classes, but are not required to take any at all.

There are four different options of courses to chose from:

1. Collegiate Courses
2. Seminar Offerings
3. Exploration Series
4. Professional Development Studies

Collegiate Offerings

If your school is going to give you credit for doing the program, you will need to take courses that fall under this section. They are recommended for credit by the American Council on Education. These courses would be the most similar to other college courses that you would take at you school. They are more focused on certain aspects of The Walt Disney Company. There are many different options to pick from. I'll post the link below so you can read in more detail.

Seminar Offerings

The seminar offerings provide an overview of the various aspects of operation within the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. These courses involve guest speakers, hands on field experience, and activities highlighting the different areas of the Walt Disney Company.

Exploration Series

The exploration series offers students the opportunity to learn more about how the Walt Disney Company operates in key areas. The entire Disney property is your learning laboratory. These are only offered at certain times of the year! I will be taking the Exploring Leadership course this fall :)

Professional Development Studies

These courses are major specific, so Disney needs to verify your major with your school before you can enroll in the class. They are also only held at specific times of the year.

Here is the link to the official Disney website. It has a course syllabus for each class, so you can read in more detail about each specific one. I suggest taking at least one course while you are in the college program, even if your school does not require it. You will obtain such valuable information and experience that you cannot get anywhere else.

Disney will announce the date and time when registration is open. It usually starts at midnight and the site will be lagging because of the huge amount of people trying to register at once. This also means that classes fill up quickly so be sure to have everything ready ahead of time if you chose to sign up for a class. All you need to have ready is your email, name, and number given to you in your acceptance email. Good luck to everyone! Have a magical day :)
