As of filming this video, Disney released a statement saying that arrivals in the beginning of June would be cancelled. I was unsure if this would affect the Disney Cultural Exchange Program, but we received confirmation the day after filming that our Program had been cancelled.
As of writing this post, the Disney Cultural Exchange Program will not go ahead in 2020. Our group will receive refunds from Disney for the program fees we have paid, and should hopefully receive the money back that we paid for medical insurance. I am still unsure of what will happen next to us, whether we will be transferred straight to next years program or if we will need to complete the application process once again. As a whole group, we are still yet to receive any information from Yummy Jobs or Disney regarding this, but from what individuals have said when they have sent emails, it sounds as though Disney's priority at the moment is making sure the International Cast Members who are currently in the United States arrive home safely. The latest we should hear something by is the end of this summer, when applications for the 2021 Disney Cultural Exchange Program will be opening.
I will keep you all updated, but I hope you are staying safe where ever you are! To avoid any confusion, I do write all of my posts in advance (except in cases like this) and currently have blog posts planned up until the end of June. I will do my best to edit any mention of visiting Disney this summer, but I am only human, so I do apologise if there is anything that has been missed. If you do see something, it isn't the case of the program is back on, it has definitley been cancelled. Thank you so much for reading today; please follow the guidelines given and stay safe!
