I know a lot of CMs do live there and I've heard they're not too crappy. Any FT attractions CMs I worked with got 40 hours a week and always picked up extra shifts thru the Extra Hours Hotline and normally worked 8 hr shifts.

I absolutely agree with this! I am a cast member myself and I check this forum daily just to see what's going on. I look here for the "news" and not so much the "rumors" because I don't know anyone who has enough inside info to actually know what will be going on and I find myself falling too...

I know I'm lazy for not going back and "quoting" these people, but someone mentioned that no one has ever seen PotC's George, making him more possible to be real or something. I hate to say it for fear of sounding crazy but I believe with all my life that I did see and even talked to George one...

As a former PotC CM, I have stories about George, and my personal opinion is that there is definitely something there. Most PotC CMs have George stories because he really does make his presence known. At first I was scared of him but I grew to find the idea of his presence comforting, especially...

This doesn't only happen to costumed characters. I have known several operations, food and beverage, custodial cast members who have been hit, kicked and otherwise purposely hurt by guests. One time, a girl I worked with at Pirates of the Caribbean was very hurt by an intentional hard hit from a...

I absolutely LOVE doing the parks by myself. As everyone has mentioned, you get to be on your own time and decide everything you want to do. But my favorite part is you can totally, completely lose yourself in the magic. It can entirely take you over and you really become part of it all. The...

Always mention special days to cast members. I am always thrilled for people celebrating by coming to WDW and I do anything I can to make it extra special for them. You'd be surprised to find out the kind of things that we can do to make sure your birthday/anniversary/honeymoon/etc. is one you...

This is so weird because I was just talking to one of my friends about this. I have had a dream about WDW every night since January of 2003, when I started working there. As soon as I started to notice it, I have been paying attention to see if I ever skip a night of dreaming about WDW. But I...

There are accidents and illnesses every single day at WDW. Many many of them. For some reason, the media has been focusing on them lately, and just as everyone has been saying, when you have tens of thousands of people in each park, odds are someone is going to get hurt or sick. It's just...

Being a custodial CM, that picture of the trash can makes me want to die. Of course things like that happen for so many reasons. Trash cans in attraction queues are often the biggest problems because A) people are all getting rid of their stuff they can't take on the ride and B) most custodial...

I can't even count how many times and places I've seen Wishes. My favorites are of course, on Main Street USA. If you don't mind being around a LOT of people, watch it from the street, right between Casey's and the Ice Cream Parlor. Another pretty good spot is the pathway of the Rose Garden...

When I was looking for a plush Scuttle this past Christmas down at WDW, I was told by many CMs that they don't really carry many Little Mermaid toys anymore as the movie has slightly fallen in popularity. It's older than I sometimes realize, and apparently the kids just aren't running to the...

Actually, almost a year ago, regular radios were traded out for Nextel phones. I don't know exactly why but it probably had to do with anyone with a scanner being able to pick up the WDW radio channels. With Nextel, it's all private. But most of these cell phones you're seeing are probably these...
