    FT Entertainment Stage Technician

    No clue on the group interviews. I only ever did individual interviews.

    FT Entertainment Stage Technician

    Well, not sure if it still works like mine did, but my second interview was much more detailed in the questions regarding the job (like my sample questions above). It felt more "test like" and less like an interview. They wanted to see what I actually knew about the different aspects of the job.

    Anyone have a spare magic band?

    That's probably what I will tell them to do (go check Ebay). As stated in the original post, I saw people talking in other posts on not knowing what to do "with all these extra magic bands." That's the only reason I posted this. Obviously, the personal info thing isn't a huge concern with a...

    Anyone have a spare magic band?

    Nope, none of the Disney Stores sell them around here. Pretty sure it's a parks only thing. You can't access any of the info without pin/sign in.

    Have you ever been evacuated off of a Disney ride?

    Only time I've been evacuated off an attraction was on Spaceship Earth. Right at the top, of course. We had just spun around to start going down backwards and everything stopped. We sat there for quite a few minutes and finally a CM came and got us. There was a storm blowing in outside and I...

    Anyone have a spare magic band?

    I hate coming on here asking for stuff, but I've noticed some people complaining about having excess magic bands. I just need one or two magic bands. Not using them for the parks. One is going to be used for some cosplay material (for a friend of mine) and the other another friend wants for...

    Entertainment Tech / Group Interview

    I'm a former entertainment tech, but never did a group interview, so not sure how much advice I could provide.

    Trip Report Rocking my Disney Side on my Birthday weekend

    So for those of you who don't know me, let me give you a little background before starting this trip report. First, I've been going to the parks since I was pretty young (I actually went to WDW when it was just the Magic Kingdom), I also went through a period where I'd go at least once a year...

    SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    Well we went straight to it and walked on. We walked past the interactive video game, musical water drops and spinning jeweled barrels. By the time we got off the wait time had gone from walk up to 120 mins

    Disney secrets

    Ah, looking through my old photos, I remember a "somewhat" secret now. Even though a lot of people are told the Villains cars are all Opels in the Lights, Motors, Action, Stunt Show, only one actually is. The rest are fabricated like the hero cars. The "blown in half car," is an actual Opel...

    Disney secrets

    Well found it sort of looks like my image isn't coming up. Is that the case for anyone else on that thread? Oh well, not like I can't post it again:

    Disney secrets

    If you saw the process, it's pretty funny and low tech. We actually had to catch her in a moving blanket because if she hit the pad at full speed (even using the brake) she'd get injured. Basically, as she would come down, another technician and I, would have to immediately go into a sprint...

    Disney secrets

    I used to be part of the "Tinkerbell Flight Crew." What's even funnier isn't just where she lands, but the process we had to use to slow her down and "catch her."

    Official 24 Disney Side Party Thread

    We will be there at gate opening. Look for the long haired guy that slightly resembles Jack Sparrow and will hopefully have a completed Maleficent tat on my arm (my artist is sick, but I wanted it done before my trip)

    SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    I didn't work there when there were Magic Bands, but when I did, your ID did everything and when I was there last year (when they had first installed the new scanners at the entrance), we had to use the "Cast Entrance" at the gate to scan our DCL cards since they hadn't issued any RFID stuff to...

    SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    of course, that's barring any issues during the previews (which has a lot to do with why they do it that way). ...and just to stir the rumor mill, my "inside" sources (aka former co-cast members I worked with) have told me the goal is to have soft opens ready for at least the 24 hour event, but...

    SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    If they stage it anything like TSMM was when I was working at DHS, they sorta do it like this: Testing, the CM previews for CMs of the home park only at first (i.e. in that case only DHS cast members, this time it would be only MK cast members), then it was previews for all CMs, then AP...

    New EPCOT DVC?

    I would definitely look into becoming a DVC member if an Epcot resort was made. I still consider Epcot my "home" park since it's the one park I can say I've been to the same year it opened. I've always loved Epcot. As for the complaints. Some people apparently want it to just be the Magic...
