Hope she leaves room to pack her sense of humor.
I’m hoping our family packing routine has sunk in with D by now so that if/when she goes abroad she’ll take those lessons to heart. We went to the UK for three weeks with our then 6yo and 9yo, traveled by train to a number of cities, all with a carry-on and backpack for each of us.
Disney is in Kissimmee, FL, not Orlando. But there are great outlet stores in the Orlando area about 9- 14 mi or so miles away, so if one packs light they can buy when down there on their time off.
@twoinanddone my younger daughter wants to do the Disney internship when she gets to college, as well. It looks like a very, very cool program. We’re also huge Disney fans 
@SouthernHope I LOVE the title of this thread- “mom vindication at the end” Yeah!!!
The Disney internship is exactly what I told my daughter it would be - a low paying job just like she could have found at the mall. The housing is awful and expensive, there is all kinds of drama and no RA to handle it so everything goes to ‘security’ for resolution (broken TV, messy apartment, roommate squabbles), the transportation is terrible. She’s ready to come home. Three of her roommates either left or moved, so she’s had 8 roommates over the semester. You can be expelled for something a roommate does, or fined (saw a recent $18 charge on her debit card for ‘security’), and you have no control over it. None of them get enough hours despite being warned they’d be working 50 or 60 house per week, even 40 hours never happened. About half of what they earn goes toward housing. She spends an hour a day, or more, commuting from the housing site, which is NOT in Kissimmee, (her address is Orlando) to the parks. The interns have no power. The only nice thing is they wash their costumes for them.
My daughter would recommend it but I wouldn’t (she did not extend). D had one of the better jobs working with characters at Epcot. Some of her roommates work in fast food or on parades. It was mostly the housing and transportation that were the issues for D. And it turns out not all of the princesses are nice to those who adore them (my D). The permanent employees treat the interns like stupid children. That crushed my daughter more than anything, to discover mean princesses. She’ll come home with about $800 saved, but she paid $500 up front.
It’s a job, nothing else.
@twoinanddone holy cow!!! I’ll be sure to show her this in a few years so she knows what she might be getting herself in to. My opinion has always been that the surest way to stop loving something is to make it your job 
My daughter still loves Disney and would give up college entirely to be a nasty Princess herself (because they make almost $13/hr, Mom!). I’m less enthralled with Disney but always have been. We’ve lived in Orange County and in Florida so have had plenty of opportunities to visit. It’s fine. It’s expensive. I wouldn’t like having so much of my life dependent on the ‘company’ -job, housing, transportation, roommate assignments. I’d like to think it’s out of her system now, but I know it is not.
