Though Shreya isn’t in the spotlight, she feels the impact of her work through the performers she supports. “The most rewarding moments are when performers come back from a set or parade and share stories about kids waving, hugging them or handing them drawings. Even though I’m backstage, I know the costumes I helped prepare made those moments possible, and being part of that chain of storytelling is incredibly meaningful.”
For Shreya, the Disney College Program is more than just a stepping stone. It’s a chance to live out a dream she grew up inspired by. “For me, it’s more than just a program; it’s being part of a legacy I grew up admiring and learning the craft behind what makes it all work,” she said. “It means I get to grow as a costumer and as a storyteller and begin the career I’ve always dreamed of with a company that continues to inspire me.” Her advice to future participants? “Say yes to everything; whether it’s making friends, exploring the parks after work, or taking on unexpected challenges in your role. This program goes by quickly, but if you lean into both the magical moments and the real work behind the scenes, you’ll come out with memories and skills you’ll carry for the rest of your life.”
