The Disney Aspire Education Investment Program, which launched in August 2018, covers the cost of tuition, registration fees and textbooks for Disney employees.
Thousands of Disney employees have attended college free of charge courtesy of their employer. Now over 50,000 people will be eligible to attend the University of Central Florida as well.
To qualify for the program, Disney employees must meet in-state residency requirements and gain admission to UCF. Once accepted, they can choose from 34 undergraduate and master’s degree programs, 10 of which are fully online. “We could not be more excited to be working with Disney to make a high-quality college degree even more accessible,” UCF Interim President Thad Seymour Jr. said in the statement. “Many of our students already are Disney employees who will immediately benefit, and this program has the potential to change lives in our community for generations.”
“They’re showing confidence in us,” eCommerce Sales & Service Agent Craig J. Plummer, who took advantage of the program, told Disney. “There’s no obligation to take a degree in the job you’re already in—you can choose where you want to go with your education. So, for the younger people who are just starting off and don’t know what they want to do when they are higher up in the company, this gives them the opportunity to work toward a degree.

Polite Disney World Guest Decides Not To Bother Mickey Mouse For PictureORLANDO, FL—In an effort to respect the privacy of the world-famous star, considerate Disney World guest Eric Daniels decided Thursday that, despite being a huge fan of Mickey Mouse’s movies and TV shows, he would not approach the anthropomorphic spokesrodent for a picture. “More than anything, I wanted to introduce myself, but I’m sure he’s constantly approached by fans when he goes out. I mean, think about it—Walt Disney World isn’t just his workplace. It’s also his home,” said Daniels, noting that while the famous actor and mouse seemed happy talking with the large group of fans gathered to meet him, a performer of his caliber was most likely being professional by interrupting his routine to pose for photos and sign autographs. “I know you shouldn’t meet your heroes, but part of me feels like if I don’t say something to him here in the Magic Kingdom, I’ll regret it my whole life. But honestly, what would I even say to a big celebrity like that anyway? That his role in Fantasia changed my life? He must hear that all the time. He’s here with his wife, just out and about, trying to enjoy the beautiful day. He probably doesn’t have time to talk to a regular person like me about the sheer genius of Steamboat Willie or Lend A Paw.” At press time, Daniels satisfied himself by attempting to take a discreet photo of Mickey Mouse without him noticing.
