Web-Based Interview:

 The web-based interview was LONG, took me at least 30-minutes to finish, and essentially personality test of sorts.

3 or 4 days after my "web-based interview" I received a phone call for a phone-based interview.

Phone-based interview:

I honestly don't remember exactly what the recruiter on the phone asked me... This recruiter seemed more concerned with my scheduling and availability. She also asked me if I'd be able to stand on my feet or X amount of hours, lift X amount of pounds, she read me what the specific job I had applied for entailed and asked if I was still interested. I said yes, and she told me I should be expecting an email from Disney casting shortly.
