1) Let us not complain. 2) Members ARE paying for trash pickup on 4th day. 3) They announced it was moved to daily. 4) Mousekeeping managers I know said they have changed nothing. 5) If there were complaints, they were to respond, "Oops, we will get right on it.". 6) Just another maltreatment of...

1) The ONLY good thing about these layoffs is that many, many lousy mangers have been let go. 2) Hopefully WDW will see they were never required in such a quantity. . . . WDW is so overloaded and bloated with inept managers and management. . . . It would be nice if, after COVID, they cut the...

1) Disney has already announced they will assume Morocco operations and cost. 2) This is bad news, since Disney cuts costs, manpower, and experiences whenever thy touch an exhibit or pavilion. 3) We cannot count on fingers AND toes how many great things have been cancelled by Disney. 4) Many of...

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE RICH GET GONE. Too bad he couldn't have left MUCH, MUCH earlier. At one time, I though Eisner's second ten years was a pain. After Ogre (oops, I mean Iger), Eisner seems like a saint.

. . . I attended workshops at The Disney Institute the second year of its full operation (1976). . . . The tree houses first were used for International College Program cast members, but were rented to others if not full. . . . When the project was finally completed, there were sixty tree...

Our next-door neighbor works in Maintenance at WDW. Every time we meet (even while lawn mowing) he has more negative stories regarding the lack of Maintenance Staff and deteriorating park maintenance. Walking down Main Street is tough when you see burned out bulbs on the marquises. day. Would...

I visited during the employee preview and was greatly disappointed that things were not working. The project was woefully behind schedule, and they rushed to get it open and satisfy complaints of guests and critics. It was a good idea, but poorly implemented. The floating lights never worked...

Want to bet ?!?!?!

1) WDW has been trimming the Maintenance staff over the past couple of years. 2) According to my dear friend, in Maint, there are not enough to cover basic even Preventive Maint. 3) This causes major breakdowns, since the equip just gets worn out (sometimes just due to no grease/oil). 4) When...

See my posting above, while she arranges transport.

1) Not that well protected. 2) The unions at WDW are terribly weak and have no real power or influence. . . . the only power a union has is a strike . . . a strike at WDW is impossible, as too many need the money and ill cross the picket line . . . plus, there are too many people they can deploy...

1) They told CPs and ICPs to GET OUT of housing by 11:00am Wednesday. 2) That is it (in my opinion, pretty rude)! 3) For ICPs, they said they would work with them on an individual basis "as needed". 4) Om the Cast Member Facebook site, we are offering up to three CP/ICP FREE housing at our...

1) We went to the Facebook Cast Member page (where CPs and ICPs also hang out) and offered a room. 2) Up to three people for a few days, until they can arrange travel home. 3) FREE room & board, internet, WiFi, spare computer solely for their use. 4) Due to a shared room, all CPs or ICPs have to...

1) We own two Spring weeks at Orange lake, and are quite satisfied. 2) But, we use one week for family and usually trade the other week. 3) As a resort, OLCC is tough to beat. 4) But, do not let them get you into a sales or "info" presentation. 5) They have taken high pressure to an Art...
