[3] Following the massive growth of the Walt Disney World Resort in the 1990s and the widespread popularity of the internet, the program grew substantially, seeing three new participant housing complexes built and many more colleges represented.

Once a student is approaching the end of their program, they may extend for an additional five months with the option to change to a different position or transfer from their current resort (Orlando or Anaheim) to the other.

[3] Three additional company-sponsored gated-community apartment complexes, The Commons, Chatham Square and Patterson Court, opened as the Disney College Program expanded to accommodate more participants, all adjacently-located in Little Lake Bryan, less than three miles away from Vista Way.

Participants in Orlando were provided the option to either live off-property or reside in one of the four complexes, until they were closed in March 2020 due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

[10][11][12] The relocation of Disney College Program participants to Flamingo Crossings Village was originally planned to take place mid-2020, when the four existing housing complexes were scheduled to be close and sold off.

The application process is the same but with specific requirements, mainly, being enrolled in an accredited culinary school in order to receive credit and also upholding the Disney Look.

The experiences are the same as the Disney College Program, with the exception of sponsored housing and transportation, which interns are required to provide for themselves since offerings are also available in different cities in the United States and even worldwide.

Active participants who resided in company-sponsored housing, including international and culinary students, were asked to vacate within a short period of time, providing full credit and completion of the program in return.
