I Might Be Going to DisneyWorld!!!!!

*squeal*

I just checked my mail, and found out I got accepted into the Walt Disney World internship!!!

I just need some opinions from everyone, however...

Pros and Cons!

See, The internship's got me a 'role' (job) as a fast food and beverage person. You work in the parks and take classes for credit. You live in a gated community with a bunch of other people, get paid 6 bucks an hour, where they take your "rent" out automatically each week, and you get cheap/Free access to all the parks. You also get the Disney name on your resume, and that's one of the top three names, other than Coca-cola and MacDonald's (i think). And at Disney, I could do those voice auditions I've been wanting to do...I could be a voice in a movie

Unfortunately those have to be done separately from the program...

Okay, Bad/Iffy points...

This internship would last during the entire-ity of this Spring Semester. Instead of getting credits I really need, I'd be the living property of Disney.

My parents are bound to the 'idea' that i HAVE to finish college in four years. They dont understand the five year thing, no matter how many times i tell them...

They control visitor hours, you have a curfew...they even control how you dress. Heck, I could get put in a Minnie costume on the hottest day of the season, and I couldnt do anything about it!
And as for the 'role' (job)....I have a job up here for over $8/hr. Why should I waste time and Money down in Florida? My parents have a rough time with me just in one state over!

Okay, and here's a question for our local voice actors/writers/Higher-ups of Mirage/Fox/Animators/Any of the guys who are involved with the making the new cartoon....

Would having this on my resume help increase my chances of getting a job as ANYTHING where you guys work? I'm accomplished in Music and Art, and I currently am working on a Major in Creative Writing and a Minor in professional Writing. I've gotten 'recognized' for my Fan fiction, but I dont know how that would really help...

I'd just like to hear that I have SOME chance of getting a job NOT involved with cashiering...

I only have two weeks to reply, so....*gets on her knees* Please help me!
