Does PwC take interns to Disney?

Every year, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) interns culminate their Advance Internship experience with an excursion to The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, to learn even more about the firm and what it would be like to join full-time.



PwC does not have a universal policy of taking all interns to Disney World, but it is a recurring highlight of their "Destination CPA" and entry-level leadership programs. In 2026, PwC's Destination CPA event is scheduled for April 17–19 in Orlando, FL, where future interns and associates are flown in for a multi-day immersive experience that often includes sessions at Disney-affiliated venues. While the primary focus is professional development and networking, these events are famous for their "Disney perk" moments. Historically, the firm has hosted thousands of interns at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort for massive training summits like the "Elevate" program. It is a peer-to-peer "pro-tip" to confirm with your specific recruiter if your internship start date aligns with these Orlando-based summits, as they are a major cultural touchstone for new hires at the firm.
