    cp quick service

    Very few people go into their interview process and say, "Wow, I'd really love to work fast food, can I do that?" It isn't anyones dream job. It really depends on how badly you want to do the CP. It's a cool experiance no matter what your job is. I did it twice, once as quick service and then...

    Spectro-Magic

    A great deal of Disney World guests have never been to Disney Land. If you saw that MSEP at Disney World as a young child it's something you associate with the park, it probably has no affect on you that it wasn't originally planned for Disney World. You saw it at Disney World and you remember...

    We need an "ambivilant" option.

    Employee Housing

    Good idea, I'm going to write a letter to my job right now and demand that they pay my rent and gas money and feed me 3 times a day. Oh and do my laundry. While I'm at it I might just go ahead and ask them for a pony for Christmas. I mean it's the least they could do, besides paying me and all.

    Offsite audition/casting/rehire status

    I have restricted re-hire status with the company right now. Not sure if there's a particular reason, I was never terminated or anything of that nature, I guess it's just policy when you leave the company? I want to attend an entertainment audition in Atlanta. I know that if I was to attend an...

    Fantasmic to Close in 2012?

    Oh that isn't what I meant, I guess I was getting off topic. I meant the quote from the poster when they said they wouldn't go/would go but would be angry. Disney knows they can get away with certain things because it would take a lot to make a die-hard Disney fan not come to the parks. I wasn't...

    Fantasmic to Close in 2012?

    I think this pretty much sums up how Disney gets away with so many of their cutbacks and the like.

    ruins of old rides

    I remember when the mirror from the castle decorations for HCOE was left laying out below the monorail tracks, it was in full view although I forget where it was exactly.

    Protect Your Children!

    Maybe it's just me but having your childs name displayed anywhere on them doesn't seem like such a good idea. Same goes for the parents name. That allows a stranger to be able to approach them and call them by name or refer to your name making the child think they can trust them. Which for a...

    Don't Eat in the parks/Take your own water

    It really depends on budget and what your priorities are. My family never ate in the park. We packed sandwiches and snacks and would go to IHOP or Waffle House on the way back to the hotel. Things like churros and ice cream or those "special" Disney treats were the exception. It just wasn't...

    The "Walt" in Walt Disney bad for Disney today?

    There's also the big issue of the fact that Walt Disney lived and ran his business in a very different era. Things have changed so much in every aspect that we can't really say how Walt Disney himself would have changed with them.

    Price management horror stories

    When I extended my program they moved me into an apartment that hadn't been cleaned yet. As in there was still spoiled food in the fridge and someone elses soap in my shower. I went to the office and complained and they comped my rent for a week and cleaned the apartment. I never had much...

    Changes at Chef Mickey's

    I could see how this could be more convienant in some ways. Since Mickey Mouse is Mickey Mouse him going from table to table like he's done traditionally often turns into a huge mess. He's the main attraction and everyone wants to get a lot of pictures and a lot of interaction. So it takes him...

    Question about restricted rehire.

    Your managers can override your rehire status, if you call your old job location and speak to a manager there's a chance you can get it lifted. Otherwise you have to go to casting and apply and show 6 months of job stability.

    Beer bottles and gang fights not your thing?

    When you take a job with Disney (or any other park for that matter) you're aware of the pay and you're aware of your duties. Of course every employee is going to have a bad day and not always be perfect but that doesn't mean we should justify bad behavior or excuse them because the pay is low or...

    Beer bottles and gang fights not your thing?

    ^Um, being asked the same question over and over again isn't a good reason for an employee to be rude, regardless of where they work. Especially when working in a theme park and being aware that people will be asking you silly questions all day. I've worked for Disney and other parks and I would...

    The Magic has gone for us

    Prices have been raised for the last 20 years so I'd hardly see that as being an excuse unless you want to make it one. In which case you might as well go ahead because you'll complain about everything else.

    New Miley Cyrus wax figure causes nightmares in 25 year old girl... ME!

    In all honesty I don't get why everyone has to fuss so much or be so negative about her. She's medicore and semi-talented but that's the best thing to push to the teeny bopper set and it really works well with Disney's marketing, it's sort of the point, she's not any more attractive or more...

    Beer bottles and gang fights not your thing?

    I have to disagree. I think City Walk attracts many more local teens than PI or Downtown Disney which is where I find the difference to be. As far as tourists go they seem to attract the exact same visitors, but PI was never as popular with the local teens as City Walk.

    WDW Character Pic of the Day

    I guess it would depend on what you define as more often. Her only scheduled locations at all are the Grotto, day parade, spectro (I suppose one would consider that to be her fin), and Akershus which isn't a constant location, she's typically a spare. In the day parade she's in her dress and...
