Learning

Believe it or not, there is an (optional) learning portion of the program that is a lot like regular school. This, of course, may lead some to shy away but how many students can honestly say that they went to school AT Walt Disney World?!?! Like the other two portions of the program there are a couple of things to keep in mind when considering whether or not to take a class:
- There are many different courses currently offered at the Walt Disney World Resort, & several have been recommended for academic credit by the American Council on Education.
- Other opportunities for learning include training classes at the Disney Learning Centers, personal & professional development activities, & networking sessions with Disney leaders.
- The Walt Disney World Resort does not charge a tuition fee for the courses they offer, but you may be responsible for textbook & materials costs, which range from $15-120 per course; if you are earning credit for the education courses, your school may charge tuition/enrollment fees.

Taking an education course at Disney really can be an enjoyable experience that is worth some consideration, especially for those who are serious about their own education. And though there are many more details about these classes, this is not the place for that since it's really just an overview. When it all comes down to it, there is nothing quite like learning at one of the world's greatest playgrounds!
