Are there any Canadians working at Disney World? I would love to work there seasonally, spend winters in Florida and summer here in Canada, but I need to work. Does anyone do that, is there a way?

Thanks!

Well they are certainly working in the EPCOT Canada pavilion. I believe most, if not all, of the cast members in the World Showcase are from that particular country

You can only work in Epcot through the WDW International Program.. in which you'd get a Visa to work for 9 months after you've applied and been successfully hired. You would not be able to repeat that yearly though.. the only way to work in Florida is if you have a work Visa.

I knew about the International program, however I will be 59 in a couple of months, and it is definitely geared toward young people. I've also looked up working visas, but the government only allows certain types of occupations, and working in retail or the rides isn't one of them I'm afraid. Makes me sad, but what can you do. Thanks for the input.
