    Andy, over the past two years I have heard a few scraps of info. from various different sources. All seem to lead me to the same conclusion.

    It is not impossible. However, it does seem that you have to know the right person, at the right time, and be the right person at the the right time. That doesn't necessarily mean wonderfully qualified for the particular job. What it does mean, I'm not quite sure however. :-\ Hence, the need for the magical powers. :D

    The other thing which has prevented me from investigating further, is that I don't really have any desire to live in London. I'm not adverse to the suggestion but it's really not my favourite place in the whole wide world. But, needs must when the devil drives I guess. :-\ Like you Lou, I love the FL lifestyle. As much as I want to work for Disney, it's really more that I want to work for WDW.

    For the moment, I'm doing this prog. then hopefully DCL (or perhaps DLRP if I can learn some french :-\). I will continue to keep investigating any and all possibilities however. :-\

    If you're interested in going there for a short time without learning French, they do hire English-only speakers into roles in entertainment.

    But yet...I think there's something slightly nicer about Florida :p

    I wouldn't mind working at Disneyland Paris. I've been in French Immersion since kindergarten and my degree is bilingual so that should help! I like french though, it's a very smooth language and because it is a romance language, it will help me when I try to learn Spanish and Italian!

    french helped me out learning spanish... i probably would appreciate it more if i were in immersion but alas normal french in alberta was somewhat of a joke... i learned more in a semester of spanish than i did in french 4 through 9.

    Yeah Brennan, immersion is definitely the way to go. It's hard to learn a language just in a class especially if you almost never get to use it. I think it depends where you are too. In Red Deer, we had a pretty sweet french immersion program. In fact, it was so good that when I went to the French Faculty at the U of A, my french was better than most except those who spoke french as a native language. But there are a lot of french programs in Alberta that aren't as good as they could be.

    But Spanish would be really cool to learn. In fact, I'm taking a Spanish class next year!
