Bottom line, without getting to intense, is he hated it. Cast were treated like shit, yet "forced" to maintain the "Happiest Place On Earth" appearance at all times, sometimes suffering disiplanary action if they wern't smiling (I'm not kidding)
Tons of internal politics, a union whoring itself out to Disney, et all, made for a very uncomfortable employment for this friend.
Personally, I'd (obviously) recommend against it, but the one positive is Disney looks great on a resume. Assuming of course you are not "Dishonorably Discharged"

One has to keep that in mind that they would have to be ON all the time when they were at work. The place is in the business of making pleasant happy memories, not ones with apathetic people serving them. There's a marked difference between going to a Disney Park versus a Six Flags park.
Disney as a company is a brand name. It's something to consider. I worked for them in the late 80s. They work you hard and pay you not as much as somewhere else because See..Kay...Why.. Why? (sorry couldn't resist) because you get the ability to put Disney on your resume. (happens here at MTV too...)
I will tell you though if you are good at what you do there, and work your way up, they (like here) will pay you handsomely to keep your talented body as part of the Disney Workforce.
The internship program here is VERY STRICT. Why? Because there's so many people all wanting to be here that they can pick and choose. It's the intern givers market in places like Disney, Viacom, Time Warner...
