Welcome summer 2021 Disney Professional Interns!
A Disney Professional Internship looks a bit different this year: working from home means virtual meetings, no morning commute, and probably wearing sweatpants. Nonetheless, a Disney Professional Internship is still an amazing opportunity for many students to begin their careers at a company they already have a passion for.
Recently, we welcomed over 400 new Disney Professional Interns and Disney UNCF Corporate Scholars to our many teams across multiple segments! From Disney Parks, Experiences and Products to Lucasfilm, Marvel to ESPN, our new interns are spread out across the company and the country but united under one purpose: to tell stories that create immersive experiences, amplify diverse voices, and bring to life experiences for audiences and guests around the world.
We caught up with a few of our new interns to see how they are feeling about starting their internships!

- One of my favorite parts of being a Disney Intern is being able to go to the parks! I was able to go to both Disneyland and Disney World multiple times before the pandemic started and make memories I’ll never forget!
