As a PP stated, they just finished their hiring for awhile. They hired quite a few people, some full and some part time. Plus they are done with their seasonal hiring as well. There are some retail opening in DTD from what I hear, but those are hit and miss as well.
As for what it is like working for the mouse, it depends. As with most companies there are some really good jobs and some that are not. The back office jobs are pretty similar to what you might find at any large corporation. Their jobs in entertainment are most often audition only. For parades and shows, they audition a cast and you are in that cast until that show is over and then you are back to auditions again (generally speaking). Long running shows like Aladdin have a different cycle. Attractions and such are another matter. They are part time, even for supervisory, but part time during peak season could mean quite a few hours.
Disney has several rules that they expect all CMs to follow. For some, those rules can feel a bit restrictive. For others, it is no big deal. Rules such as dress and appearance, showing up to work on time, limited number of "call-ins" for sick days, etc.
Personally, I have never worked there, but I know several that do (or have) held a variety of positions at Disney. Some who have been there for over 20 years. The biggest complaints that I hear from those who work in the parks are about the park guests, which is pretty typical for that type of work.
I encourage anyone seeking employement with Disney to give it a shot. If you are on these boards it generally means you identify with the brand and that means you probably already have a respect for the company and what it stands for. To me, that is a huge plus in any job.
Go for it ... and good luck!
