Your Guide to Medical Accommodations on the Disney College Program

What is a medical accommodation?

Medical accommodations and restrictions are written instructions from a doctor that state the functional limitations on activities an employee can do at work.

Who is eligible for a medical accommodation?

All Disney Programs participants can submit a medical accommodation request. Requests are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis.

Are medical accommodations limited to certain conditions?

All medical accommodation requests must be:

• Related to a medical condition, injury or illness.
• Approved by a qualified medical provider knowledgeable of the condition.

What is not a reason to request a medical accommodation?

All individuals in need of a medical accommodation are encouraged to submit a request. Requests are intended for serious medical conditions and are not a resource for changing roles or locations based on personal preference.

How long does it take to go through the accommodations process?

Timing will vary from person to person, so it is important to allow ample time for your request to be reviewed and processed.

For incoming participants in need of an accommodation, we encourage you to start the process as soon as you pay your program fees to ensure your request is processed before your program begins.

Do I get to choose the role I want?

Disney College Program participants are not able to select specific roles, as role availability is dependent on the season and business needs. All roles play an important part in bringing the magic to Walt Disney World Resort and offer valuable work experience. You can review the different types of roles that you may be considered for here.
