I would like to work for a company where everyone that was competent, cooperative and friendly in a full-time job earned enough to rent an apartment, own and insure a car in good condition, buy groceries, be insured against medical hardships, and pay their medical co-pays. Then maybe have a few...

No, thank you. Again, nobody has to do that, but obviously you took time to help preserve the magic for guests who later that day would be going through that queue.

Hi, Grizz - You (nor anyone else) are of course under no obligation to do this... but... if you want to fix a problem like that, just 1) remember the cast member's name, then 2) find the nearest Supervisor either at that attraction or later in the next convenient gift shop or whatever. You...

Sounds like you were on Sherbeth Road, which runs from the traffic light near Animal Kingdom Lodge, down to Route 192. Years ago, this was a very remote part of WDW. Disney University actually had a class for new Management Cast where a bus dropped them off on a dirt road off Sherbeth, and...

If you're on a second day to Epcot, have been to all of the E-tickets there, a midday walk out to the Boardwalk makes a great change of pace. Maybe consider having a burger at Beaches and Cream, or a more balanced lunch at the Yacht Club. You won't have the ambience and theming of a World...

Blackout According to current policy (booklet provided with Summer comp tickets), blackout dates apply to comp tickets and Cast Member id's as well. :(

Safari Celebration Our group did the Safari Celebration. I can't claim to be an unbiased source of information, but honestly, it was one of the best dinners I've ever had at WDW. Great variety, quality and quantity of food served family style and with continuous entertainment. The special...

Room noise? Only if you have noisy people in YOUR room. :lol: The rooms were constructed as concrete units and slid into place. The result is, they are extremely quiet! The rooms are also huge, including the bath. Also huge... the 1st floor game room, if you're into that. And you...

Moving the mausoleum Years ago, I'd heard that the stones might move over to Downtown Disney... somewhere near the Marketplace. Then word was, they might be relocated to the right (and back) of Spaceship Earth, but that would be a tight fit with Living Seas there, and all. Maybe they could...

If you're REALLY into trivia... ...most of the carts are Cushman, or something else. All right, I never counted them, but you know I've only seen a couple of actual "pargos"... though it seems like the entire cast (at least everyone in operating areas) calls them that. If you really want...

Easy directions to WDW from MCO Take the South exit (there's South Exit signs throughout the airport) The south exit is about 4 miles of gently winding roadway which merges onto Boggy Creek Road. Just after the merge, you reach a traffic light where you turn right onto route 417, the...

Maybe something to do with 'deploying' cast to various locations?

Just a word of caution Admittedly, I write this a lot on these boards, but here goes again... Having a dream to work at WDW is a great thing, and I sure understand it, since that's what led me down here 15 years ago. I went in with the attitude that I'd take any job, just to get in the...

I think Epcot main entrance used to have (probably still does) a different loop for morning and evening. As I recall, the morning loop was more energetic. For example, one song started with a cymbal crash (and other instruments)... I think that was the old Universe of Energy preshow song...

If you just want to experience working at WDW for a while, and you aren't particular about which role, my suggestion would be just to come down whenever, see what's available. But do a budget first! Entry-level jobs at WDW are not enough for an individual to pay rent, car payment, insurance...

Recycle that paycheck Team Disney has a smaller Company D than D.U., but parking and access are easier.

A couple of footnotes about the story... Residents of Shangri-La lived "forever"... in a society where one class lived in quiet scholarly pursuits, attended hand and foot by a serf class, which was also quite happy due to some form of intoxicant. The drug element was downplayed when Lost...

Another way of saying it... Both the hat and the Epcot hand defy the aesthetics of their respective parks.

Greene(bucks) Way The Greeneway (417) is the way to go from Sanford to the WDW area. Tolls are about $6.50, though. It's a faster, safer route.

also, to quote an earlier post... I hope that provides sufficient assurance that nothing is/was/will be ruined. Perhaps we should all take a deep breath on this one...
