Disney Classes

OKay so while I am going to be in Disney I thought it would be a great idea to take Disney classes considering i am majoring in hospitality and disney is a top performer in guest servicing.
The two classes that i have signed up for are Disney's Advanced Studies in Hospitality and Disney Exploration Series of guest servicing. Now my community college had no idea how to apply these to credits, so in order for me to graduate i had to do an internship worth 3 credits. So the disney college program is going to be my 3 credits. When i was meeting with my advisor i basically showed her the classes syllabi to let her see that i will be rotating through different areas of hospitality. Now because of this i have to collect signatures from each of my professors along with my manager on duty to sumbit for a grade via e-mail to my major advisor. 
Disney classes are cheap and run anywhere from $10-$30. Hospitality one was i believe $20 and the Exploration one was free. The same card that you used to pay your fees at the beginning with be the same card that this gets charged to. Remember print all of your transactions out!
After you have completed your course i do know you get a certificate of some sort and are able to plug that into your resume! Great, right? YES! cheap classes given by Disney and able to apply to your resume. 
About the week prior to your arrival, (which is where i am at not) you will get an e-mail linking to a website that you have to go to register for an online profile for your disney professors to contact you. This e-mail will come to you through the e-mail that you signed up for through disney. Once here you will be able to update your profile and have access to other classmates as well as your professor. In addition, your professor will introduce themselves and you can visit their profile to get a better understanding of who they are as a person. 
I am eager to start my classes and will update you more once i start the classes! only 4 more days til check-in :)
