The evidence is how the respective entertainment depts have to proceed. In Disneyland characters commonly freeroam as well as (to an extent) at DLP. In Tokyo they circle around the character and let the character choose who to interact with for pictures with no cm having to direct organization...

Guests at WDW are animals when it comes to characters (especially walk around characters) so I could see this not lasting very long. Disneyland is quite a bit more civil and DLP the same. This type of m&g would work well in TDR but alas they don't have GE. Would be shocked if this becomes...

This conversation is fascinating but one thing that really makes Disney unique is the type of people it attracts to work there for the most part. It's an outlier when comparing to other similar (not that there are many similar scenarios) jobs. There are so many people who work there from local...

I'm from Fort Lauderdale so I'm well aware. It's not much better though in Orlando when compared to the wages.

It sounds terrible, but the only teachers I know (mid 30s) who are still left teaching are basically women in a dual income household or single and still have financial support from their parents. Orlando cost of living has risen so much I don't know how people do it sometimes. The Moving To...

I wonder what this does for all the poop wages in Central Florida. EMTs and medical assistants still make like $13 an hour and teachers are paid criminally low. I still get pharmacy tech open positions emails from a long time ago and I'll look at the pay and be like 🧐

Lion King, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood, etc. Now they would barely make one for a deuteragonist

Wdw is cheap, that's why. They also used to produce like 5 characters for every film now it's 2 at best. 1 in most cases.

If the Facebook groups about moving to Orlando because they love Disney are any indication it's that the CMs will find themselves more priced out than they already are. People continue coming here or inquiring about coming here under the antiquated idea Orlando is cheap and affordable.

Got in 3/4 but calendar says no reservations. All the dates for pirate pass were blocked out or no reservations so we will see.

I have pirate and we got 3/4. It says I'm not blocked out but there were no reservations 🤷 hopefully they open more up or something otherwise all the dates for my pass were either blocked out or no reservations on the calendar

Just got the email at 9:08 but was in the queue a bit before 9. Hopefully I can get it since the pirate pass has a lot of "no reservation" dates as well as block out dates in March 🥺

Good thing I have an "in" with you fellow nerds because I never got an email or anything other than the reminder email earlier this week. 25 minutes to go apparently.

I never got the email but joined the queue.

Not to be pedantic but I don't think anyone is finding a 1br for 1300 unless they saw nice photoshopped pics and got duped into moving to a bad area like OBT and Americans Blvd. 1br now is going for like 1500+. I don't know if it's cheaper to be by Kissimmee/Davenport area but the Disney...

They should open Sindbad from Tokyo to make up for the 5 second ride that is Tron! (Kidding....or am I?)

Friend gets full benefits, just no theme park perks but he doesn't care. He wouldn't get hurt on the job unless he tripped walking from his bed to his couch.

Yes this friend in particular loves theme parks so they're not entirely money driven although the last couple of years have definitely amplified the underpaid/everything is expensive now mentality. My friend at Disney makes over 200k in their contractor role which is pretty good and from my...

Universal seems to promote from within and grow internal candidates from my experience. I have a friend who graduated from UCF and literally began working in the gift shops only to now be a manager in finance. Several of their coworkers did the same. Their salaries are quite low though. Said...

Debbie Downers aside, I'm excited. It's a fun ride. Not going to blow everyone away but at night will be a blast and most people will love it. The launch is pretty cool by Disney standards. Gives it enough thrill while still keeping it within reasonable MK thrills standards.
