As WDWNT continues to grow, we are looking for additional local reporters to expand our Disneyland News Today staff.
Reporters visit the parks several days a week to investigate developments with construction, refurbishments, maintenance issues, food and beverage offerings, merchandise, and more.

You will report via photos, video, and social media on new developments in both parks and resorts, including new construction, renovations/refurbishment, new merchandise, new food and beverage offerings, crowd levels, maintenance issues, and more. You will also write a daily Photo Report documenting your visit and pertinent updates to the park(s) you visited that day.
