Sophomore to Spend Spring Semester at Walt Disney World
January 15, 2025
Sophomore Accepted By Disney College Program
A 蜜桔直播 sophomore will spend spring semester in the happiest place on earth.
Sofia Gullion, has been accepted by the Walt Disney World College Program. She applied
for the program in September and received her acceptance information in November.
Around 20% of the college students who apply are selected for the unique internship.
鈥淚 have always loved Disney and I have always wanted to work at Disney World,鈥� Gullion
said. 鈥淚 submitted my application in September. My professors and advisors at Walters
State were very helpful in planning for this semester at Disney.鈥�
Gullion will move to Orlando this month and be there through June 12. She doesn鈥檛
know exactly what her job will be. Disney Interns are placed in fields ranging from
agriculture to zoology. Some work at theme parks while others work at resorts.
鈥淏eing an elementary education major, I obviously hope my job deals with children,鈥�
Gullion said. 鈥淚 really would love to be involved in the children鈥檚 activities held
at various resorts. I am sure I will learn and gain new experience in my role.鈥�
While she鈥檚 at Disney, Gullion will still be a 蜜桔直播 student. She鈥檒l be taking
two classes online needed to complete her Associate of Science in Teaching degree
in May. She then plans to transfer to the University of Tennessee for fall semester.
Gullion has made the trip to Disney several times with her family. While her parents
are happy for her new experience, her younger siblings cried when they first learned
that she鈥檒l be away.
鈥淟eaving my family and friends will be the hardest part,鈥� Gullion said. 鈥淚 have been
in the concert choir here and I am a Senators Page. I felt bad about leaving both
a person short, but everyone has been so positive and supportive.鈥�
She does plan to enjoy her surroundings when she鈥檚 not working. She鈥檚 a fan of all
things Disney, but her favorites are Winnie the Pooh, Princess Tiana and the Little
Mermaid. Her favorite Disney movie is 鈥淯p.鈥�
A much-quoted line from that movie is 鈥淎dventure is out there. Go find it.鈥� That鈥檚
what Gullion intends to do.
