Summary

The Disney College Program internship hosts thousands of Cast Members each year at Walt Disney World and Disneyland as the students participating gain experience as they progress toward a college degree. I had the privilege of being a part of the Disney College Program in 2007, working at Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom.   In this episode, I reflect on 17 years since starting the Disney College Program and share some personal experiences working at Kilimanjaro Safaris.
