As someone with some knowledge of the accelerator, I'd describe it as a preferred partner program. I'd only recommend it to series B or beyond. The kinds of mentorship you'll get won't be very relevant to a startup. You won't learn about building companies and you won't gain much of a professional network to raise or sell to, but you'll get meetings with any part of Disney you want to pitch to for a partnership. For the right company that can be huge, like Sphero building BB-8. I'm unfamiliar with their terms.
