I would really like to work for the Disney folks. I have an excellent resume in my teaching field and also have a passion for children's television production. What do you think?

What do you know about Disney as a company? Do they employ educators? Do you have any skills that would make you especially qualified to work on children's programing other than your teaching skills? Do you know anything about producing programs for children?
If I were Disney I would be interested in someone who in addition to teaching had something else to bring to the table, such as experience or knowledge about creating programs for kids, or perhaps someone who has published in a creative related field like for instance, kids books, artwork for kids, or perhaps created teaching materials for kids. Experience in the performing arts would also seem like a plus.
Doing a bit of research and preparation would be smart. Knowing someone who works at Disney and that could give you some pointers would also be extremely helpful. You might also look into professional organizations that might cater to people employed in the field that interests you. You might be able to make contacts that way. Put yourself out there.

Hello,I am talking only about Disneyworld in Florida.Disneyworld is fun but the cast members(everyone) earn very little money-perhaps $6.00 to $11.00 an hour.The huge object to working at Disney is free tickets to all the parks.And the advancement is very slow.I love Disneyworld.The best possible way to work in Disneyworld is to live in Orlando,Florida and you will get a job doing something there if you are persistent and speak Spanish..Workers come and go.There is a weekly Disneyworld Newsletter for casts members only with job opening.The idea is to get your foot in the door. Have fun and enjoy the ride.

If your dad is a big wig in show biz, it's easey!
Otherwise, start at the bottom like everyone else, as a film runner making $6.50 and hour and talk your way into a better job!
Go to work for Cable Access. Voullenteer. Learn to work there, doing all jobs from cable roller to video engineer.
Then find a local TV station job.
Then start writing and showing your work to producers.
Maybe they'll bring you over and start you as a Story Editor.
Work your way up to producer and after you've been a writer-producer for two or three years with a demo reel to show, you can send it to Disney when they are looking for producers for their children TV networks and they might bring you over.
Then you'll make $2,500 a week or more.

All you can do is apply, that's what I tried with WED. I was interested in the audio-animatronics field, but they didn't seem interested in me. Ah, well. Hey, they're just a company, like any other. Just do it!
