When to Apply for the Disney College Program?

This page will explain exactly when you should apply for the Disney College Program. The information below is easily available on the Official Blog, but keep in mind of applying on the first day vs later. This is an often debated discussion on the Facebook (FB) Groups. I don't recommend applying on the very first day and definitely not the last day. However, I think applying within the first month is a good practice. Roles could be filled if you wait too late to apply. Of course, keep in mind what's best for you.
