    Push The Talking Trashcan helps with marriage proposal

    To quote the trash can, "That was the coolest thing ever."

    Has anyone actually spotted a bearded cast member?

    My dentist told me a story that back when WDW opened he and his wife tried to get jobs there. He was sporting a very 70s stache at the time, and during his interview they asked if he'd be okay shaving it off. As it happens, there was a photo of Walt on the wall, and he pointed to it and said...

    Scenes I would like added to the Great Movie Ride

    I think having Jack & Rose on the front of the Titanic would be a good addition. I don't think there's anyone who hasn't seen that movie. It's not my favorite movie, but it's safe to say it's a modern "classic".

    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    Went last week. Rode it twice. I told my sister it was broken before we went on the ride. After the first ride she said, "It didn't look broken to me." Which of course then I had to explain that it's supposed to MOVE, not just sit there with a strobe. My niece didn't even see it the first time...

    Toy Story Midway Mania at TDS

    I finally went on Midway Mania last week when I was at DHS. I never got around to it when I actually lived there because the line was always so long and usually FPs were hours away or gone completely. We got our FPs first thing in the morning and only waited 15 minutes. Honestly, it was kind of...

    Top Tips!!!

    When I was a costuming CM, we had packs that we'd hand out for other CMs to store their rain gear in. We were told not to call them " packs" because apparently the word "" has a different meaning in the UK and it was offensive. Also another tip: Make sure your shoes fit...

    My first ride with technical difficulties - Tower of Terror

    As a former cast member, I know Disney's firm stance on safety above all things, so that's probably why I wasn't worried at the time, I was fairly sure there was a failsafe in there somewhere to prevent anything from happening. However, some other people in the car (including my sister) were...

    My first ride with technical difficulties - Tower of Terror

    I'm currently at WDW with my sister and my niece and this morning we did DHS. We went on ToT twice (because my niece loved it so much). The first time it worked as it should be. The second time, when we got done with the drop sequence, we went to the bottom of the shaft, they played the video...

    Dilemma with roommate match for CP should I drop the person or wait and see?

    Definitely get there early to request a 1 bedroom. I didn't do matching, but I did request a 1 BR and got one at Patterson. I think the roomie and I were the first to even live in it. It was pretty sweet. But also a roomie story, my roomie was a party girl and I was more of a homebody, and...

    Working at WDW without a High School Diploma?

    I honestly don't know. The only thing I've heard (never confirmed though) is that they sometimes hire kids still in high school to work face character jobs, but those sound like special circumstances. On the other hand, there are also a lot of immigrants who work at Disney, some of whom only...

    Working at WDW without a High School Diploma?

    Does she have a GED? That's all I had when I was hired.

    Changes to character meet and greets at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    As a former costuming CM at DAK, I can just say that Meeko and Timon are kind of pains in the , at least they were for me. I don't know about Timon's "friends", but I did see a couple of Flik's "friends" who were "unfriended" due to gaining weight/body changes. It's a sad fact, but it...

    Worst places to propose at WDW

    I'm reading these replies and some of them I'm thinking "That would actually be kind of awesome." Proposing at WDW is cliche in itself. In front of the castle just adds to the cliche. Though the worst proposal was actually a proposal I saw. A friend and I were dining at CRT, and there were...

    UP Characters???

    The story I was told was that the Up costumes had some safety issues that needed to be worked on before they came out again.

    Getting into a desired role?

    I guess I got lucky, I got my first choice which was costuming. Though I had experience in theater costuming work, so maybe that had something to do with it? (even though the costuming role really doesn't have anything to do with that)

    Price management horror stories

    Not Price specifically, but I did hear about security guards selling drugs to CPs and one security guard who got a CP girl pregnant.

    Questions about expenses for the Disney College Program :)

    1) You get discounts at several restaurants in the area. Other expenses depend on what your lifestyle is. But aside from food, all your other money is pocket money. 2) I didn't do a whole lot of driving, but I also didn't "explore" as much as some other people do, nor did I take any beach...

    Disney Language...

    The easiest is that we're called "cast members" and not employees because we're not working, we're putting on a show. Some basic ones that come to mind: ER = Early release (can I go home early?) Costume = uniform (even if you're in custodial you wear a "costume") Guests = customers (most...

    Career Start Program (Fall 2010)

    I was CareerStart too, and I don't think I met anyone who was CS when I was there, they were all college program. There is really no difference at all, it's just a different application process. Once you get there, CS and CP are the exact same. Most of my managers/coworkers didn't even know what...
