Those hours also count towards your 800-hour requirement for industry experience at NU.

Participants also have free admission to the theme parks when they aren’t working, along with discounts on merchandise, food, and room accommodations. In addition, you won’t jeopardize your financial aid status or enrollment status at Niagara University if you accept a Disney internship.
