Walt Disney World is running an online job fair, now until Sunday, April 18. You can apply online for a variety of open positions at the resort, without having to come down in person first.
My tips for in-person theme park interviews: Cut and style your hair like the people you see working in the parks now. Then walk into the facility wearing a big smile and don't stop being friendly at any point. Even the employees whom you don't think are interviewing you might still be evaluating you. Friendliness - smiles, eye contact and clear speaking - gets you hired at theme parks.

Two years ago, I was told I was "hired" by Walt Disney World through the International College Program, but then they phoned back after two months and said they overestimated the amount of Canadians they could hire and didn't have any available positions to fill.
When I finish my masters, I think I'm going to be gutsy, move to Florida/California, and apply to theme park jobs. Any advice on applying to full time theme park jobs, particularly involving engineering, would be more than appreciated.
Another thing to look into, which I did, is Professional Internships at Disney. I applied, interviewed, but not picked.
They might have one for you, but if you want a Disney job, just keep at it because their website changes often.
