Once you are accepted, you are accepted for the role that is stated in your acceptance email.
The only time you can switch roles after being accepted is if you have an allergic reaction or injury that prevents you from doing your job. It isn’t guaranteed that they can switch your role even if you have a medical reason which could mean you have to self-term. Having that said, if you apply for a position that you know you cannot do (for whatever reason) DO NOT select it as a potential option. If you feel that you cannot perform any activities for any jobs make sure you bring that up during your phone interview. You will be considered for all Disney roles (even ones you don’t select) so there is a chance you could be placed in a role you didn’t select, so if you have any concerns you need to let your interviewer know during your phone interview. Disney tries to place you in your top role or one you select but if those positions are full they can then try to place you somewhere else. Disney can also place you in a role they think is a good place for you based off your previous work experiences and other reasons.
The only other way to change roles is to extend your college program. At the end of your program you will receive an email to extend your program. At that point you can pick three roles you would like to extend into. What roles are available then will be based on where they need more people. People who choose to extend in their current role and location will get priority. For example, if I work QSFB but want to extend to PhotoPass and everyone in PhotoPass decides to extend then I will not get PhotoPass.
Your phone interview is basically your last chance to change anything before it is completely set in stone. So be honest about your work concerns. Especially if you have a medical reason.
No matter what role you get it will still be magical and I would still choose to accept it. Think of all of the people who apply to Disney every semester and how many people would kill to work in any role (even the “bad” ones) that don’t get accepted. Disney College Program is also a big stepping stone if you ever want to work for Disney again or do a Professional Internship.
