Rated 9/10

There were loads, football, yoga and pretty much everything else you can imagine.

In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

I insist that applying to The Walt Disney Company for an internship will be the best move you ever make in the near future.
