Are you a Disney fanatic? Do you work or study in or around Shanghai? Would you like to work at Shanghai Disney Resort... without pay?

If so, follow the “qingchunshanghai” or “shvolunteer” WeChat accounts, each of which will be posting Shanghai Disney Resort recruitment notices in the coming days.

According to Shanghai Daily, the Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone will be seeking up to 700 volunteers for the remainder of the month. These volunteers will mostly be assisting foreign visitors to the park, providing directions and assisting physically-challenged tourists. Accepted applicants will be expected to undergo a training program in April.

Qiu Yichuan of Disney's partnering Shanghai Shendi Group specified that peak times would require 100 to 120 volunteers on duty, while 130 to 150 will be needed for “super peak” times.

This first wave of recruitees — most coming from ten Pudong universities — will work throughout the year, beginning when the resort opens on June 16. They’ll be deployed during holidays, vacations and weekends, when the bulk of tourists is expected to flock in.

Special consideration will also be given to volunteers skilled in certain key areas, such as medicine.
