Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed it a fair amount, i learnt a great deal and liked my team a lot. The social side was more challenging with few chances to meet other interns, so I really had to put myself out there, but I found a few close friends. (i am in the minority here as i am the only intern in my team, most have 2 or 3 interns and work closely to other teams with interns)

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to The Walt Disney Company
go to the few intern events that will be organised early on, cause when everyone knows a few people these social events where you meet others will completely stop
