I never took my kids and I never will. Do you know they have a Disney University. LOL sounds like a career in basket weaving.

Disney University is just a "university" in name only. It's the training center where 'cast members' (Disney employees) learn how to do what they do.

Disney College Program does appear to be a college-type course for employees who are already enrolled in an accredited college or university. It trains them in things like park management or are Disney-job related.

Disney Institute, however, does appear to be a full-on training center teaching organizations and businesses how to do things "the Disney way".

Probably more information than you wanted, but it does appear to be a bit more than "basket-weaving".

Several years ago I was playing in a classic rock band and we did a special event at Disneyworld and had to go “backstage” to get to where we needed to unload our gear. Their security was tighter than my day job at KSC. Pop up barricades in the roadway that raised and lowered for each vehicle and you HAD to be on “the” list to gain access. We talked to a few folks who were still there from the day shift and some of the night shift folks that worked “backstage”. They said they had to be careful of what they said because there were “ears” (ref to Mickey?) everywhere. Kind of spooky at the time but now it seems that the NSA is/has been doing the same thing for a while. But, I’m sure they’ve stopped now that they’ve been caught. NOT! :>}

McDonalds has Hamburger University, it’s management training. Quite worthwhile for anybody that’s going to be running any kind of food oriented business actually.
