Fark Disney, it's a horrible place to work. Fark Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. They are expensive and you won't get paid much more than Cape Cod. DON'T pay anyone for a job. Good recruiters get paid by the employer. Get a J-1 visa. A good boss will help you get a Social Security card. It's very easy. You can work 1 week without one. Right now places are looking to hire H2-b visa holders. They advertise in the winter and make the jobs so horrible locals won't get hired. Minimum wage is $8 in Massachusetts, more than the Carolinas (which is brutally hot in the summer). $10 an hour is about the most you will get paid. Fark Amusement parks, they are horrid places. Get a morning job at a small Mom & Pop restaurant, guaranteed meal every day. Chain restaurants suck. House-boy at a motel at night (3pm-11pm). If you're lucky, you will get a boss like me and not work too hard. After 8 at night, we pretty much watch baseball in the lobby.
I'm going to start negotiations for my summer job after New Years Day. Part of the negotiation is I hire the 3-11 Russians (Belorussians, Ukrainians, whatever). I usually get 1 горничная and 1 мальчик дома. They hate me for the first 2 weeks because I make them work. Then they realize watching the Red Sox on the clock and playing "The Cow Goes Moo" is a pretty sweet gig. Actually the only real hard work I had the kids do last year was during the hurricane scare. We had a great hurricane party too.
Best of luck.
Edit: I've been doing this stuff for 10+ years. It's why I am learning Russian. Cape Cod gets many Russians, Belorussians, Ukrainians, etc. Be careful of Provincetown.
