Wanderlust World Wanderlust World You cannot work at Walt Disney World at age 14. The Walt Disney Company's minimum hiring age is 16 for most hourly roles (attractions, merchandise, food service). Some internships and college programs require 18+. Federal child labor laws (FLSA) also restrict hours and occupations for 14–15 year olds, making theme park employment impractical. Exceptions exist for entertainment (performers) with special permits, but these are rare and highly competitive.
