Still really disappointed with this move. Like others have said, I would be 100% ready and willing to move on if a replacement option was planned, but I doubt we'll be seeing one anytime soon. Yeah, the tech was a little antiquated, but not to the point of killing the enjoyability factor. SOTK...

I'm not super offended by it or anything, but definitely prefer the more subtle decorations. Families on their once-in-a-lifetime trips to WDW probably wouldn't be happy to find the park's most famous landmark covered in giant pink bubble wrap. The 50th decorations are a way to convey to guests...

I'm a HUGE baby, so I apologize if I've bothered you guys with similar threads in the past. I'm super particular when it comes to which thrill rides I'm willing to ride and which I avoid like the plague. Coasters like Everest and Mummy are fine, as are rides with mild or brief thrills like...

My no. one hope for the 50th was a nighttime parade (preferably a brand new fantasy-themed modern electrical parade in the vein of TDL's Dreamlights, but at this point I would settle for cloning or sending over PTN). Obviously COVID killed that dream if it was ever likely to begin with. Honestly...

We're all internet users so I think the ship has probably sailed on preventing surveillance. On balance, I'm more worried about social media data mining, targeted advertisement, etc. than I am about Disney using facial recognition. Agree that retinal scans could be more efficient for this...

If this update to Disney Look is supposed to be more inclusive, I'm assuming it has more to do with past issues like this than with the tattoo/piercing policy. Like others have said, maybe it involves allowing shaved hair or hair with beads/ornamentation? Not sure how any of this would prevent...

Yeah, you definitely have to know what you're signing up for when you get hired on, no one gets to opt out of working outdoors without a medical excuse. But I'd say anything Disney can do to alleviate discomfort should be done, especially when it's something as simple as that. I remember they...

It's extremely dangerous. I've fainted from the heat before (working a glow cart in August in the pinstripe shirt/white pants and white knee-highs costume) and know SO many CMs who've suffered severe heat stroke. Obviously staying hydrated helps, but it's common sense not to wear wool pants...

From what I understand (currently a third party CM but previously worked front-line retail at Emporium) you're allowed to wear the costume for either gender as long as you're consistent. So, for example, you couldn't wear the Main Street men's costume Mon. through Thurs. and then show up for...

This is good to know! I was a little paranoid they wouldn't be able to accommodate.

I mentioned I was planning to ask around and find some people to join us! But yes, worst come to worst I'll either call to modify or cancel.

Yes, someone just let me know it's generally easier to snag Sci-Fi reservations for 5+ people, so I managed to find one at a decent time. I'm planning to find some more people to join us but hope they won't be too strict if we can't get the full five. Not sure how that works! Also, I can't...

I’m an Orlando local and my mom is coming down to visit in mid-May. Reservations just opened up for one of our vacation days and I checked immediately at 6:00AM but STILL couldn’t find a single reservation for Sci-Fi Dine-In, even though other popular/hard to get locations like Be Our Guest...

Why not reserve Epcot park passes for all three days and then just park hop as soon as you're able?

IMO the easiest proof of residence is a recent bank statement, which you can pull up on the bank app on your phone.

I think Jenny Nicholson pretty much hit the nail on the head w/ this one in her twitter thread (link here). I don't think it's an inherently bad thing to emphasize the importance of inclusivity in CM training, but the Four Keys are (were?) a priority ladder, and inclusivity doesn't make sense as...

Was told by a friend who purchased the $50/a day resident deal that she was asked if she wanted to upgrade to an AP. Wondering if she misunderstood somehow? I'll be at Yacht & Beach today and I'm tempted to ask if buying the $50/a day pass and upgrading is a potential loophole for FL residents...

Any guesses on when Disney might start selling new APs again? I know there's no saying for sure, but I'm really hoping they'll be available by the holidays ):

You can call WDW Casting at (844) 559-2278 and ask directly what your rehire status is. If you were termed for attendance, you'll usually have to wait for the points to drop off (each point will drop off six months from the date you received it) but if it was a more serious offense that might be...

Hey, so I've worked at WDW before (on a CP) and just finished up an internship over in CA, so I'm looking to move back to FL and work at the parks again. I already booked a trip out and was planning to walk into Casting and hopefully (fingers crossed) get something on the spot. But the WDW jobs...
