Disney Will Pay YOU to Dance Around on Their Cruise Ships! - Inside the Magic

If you want to sail across the seven seas while dancing, to sing, and being friends with your favorite Disney character, there has never been a better chance until now!

With Disney Cruise Line swinging back into action as the Disney Dream, Disney Wonder, Disney Magic, and Disney Fantasy start to come back to life, with the Disney Wish looming behind, ready to set sail, Cast Members are being brought back to work! One of the best parts about taking a Disney Cruise Line is that you can experience the magic of Disney on a ship!

Aside from staying at a Disney Resort, Disney Cruises are the only other place you will be able to meet all your favorite characters, from Mickey Mouse to Minnie Mouse, to characters from Marvel, Star Wars, all the Disney princesses, and so many more. On top of seeing some of your favorite friends, another major plus is being able to see the stunning Broadway-level shows that Guests put on.

Now, Disney is hiring to fill some of these positions fleet-wide! Disney is looking for both character performers and musical theater performers to help create the entertainment on their ships. Auditions are happening both online and in New York.
