Open to individuals, families and groups of friends! This campaign is open to solo Magic Key holders, families, AND groups of friends.

How did you hear about this project? *
How long have you + your family / friends been Magic Key Holders? *
A background check and social media review will be conducted for individuals selected during the AVAIL proc. By clicking "Agree," you acknowledge and consent to these checks. Disney requires all prospective employees to complete this process. As a representative of a Magic Key Holder in this filmed project, you will be considered a Disney employee for these purposes. *
I am aware of the background & social media check.
If children are submitting in your group, do the children already have a work permit & Coogan Account set up?
If you do not have a permit at the moment, no stress. This does not disqualify your family. Work Permits are easily accessible and can be taken care of at the AVAIL process. *
Have you or anyone in your group or family appeared in a Disney campaign or commercial in the past? *
Disney's magic belongs to everyone. We want every participant to feel comfortable and if selected for the filming, we want all participants to be fully supported on the shoot day. Do you or anyone in your group use any accessibility services, or have any needs we should be aware of?
(Examples: mobility accommodations, sensory considerations, DAS pass, dietary needs, etc.)
There is no wrong answer - this just helps us plan ahead for you if you / your group is selected to film at the park.
If no, please write NA in the space below. *
