Unfortunatly, as a Cast Member I must agree with your post. Its sad but very true. While I enjoy working for Disney Its still hard to oversee the fact that I am still working for a giant money-guzzling corporation that is out to make lots of money and keep its shareholders happy. Disney is a...

I haved stayed at both the Yacht and Beach Club and prefer the Yacht Club out of the two. The Yacht Club is nice, quiet, and all the rooms have full balconies. Just beware that its a big convention resort so you may see alot of business people if you stay during a convention. Stormalong Bay is...

Yes, there is a limited-time promotion offered where you can book your next WDW trip at a discount rate if you book during your stay before you leave. If the promotion is being offered you will find a flyer in your room with more info. The flyer usually gives you a special number to call from...

Disney has over 60,000+ cast members, if they offered relocation assistance for all the company would go broke. You also need to keep in mind that relocation assistance is not usually offered by Florida companies, so its not just Disney.

Yes, you can access The Hub online from any computer. Of course you need your Disney network ID and password in order to enter the website. You can see your work schedule, request days off, browse information, etc.. As mentioned by previous posters, there are a few applications that you can only...

Anyone? :confused:

I recently becamed informed through a Disney recruiter of a great 10-month part-time Hospitality program at WDW, has anyone heard of this program before? The recruiter states its a 10-month part time internship designed for hospitality students in Central Florida and prepares you for the field...

Re: I have to disagree with that last sentence. I am actually a local myself and I have been looking into the WDWCP because even though I already live in this area it still takes me about an hour to get to Disney and I believe the program would be great for my career goals and life...

Right now im kind of on the balancing scale and unfortunately starting to lean towards not doing the program. Im actually a local in Central Florida and my school has been giving me a hard time with granting credits for the program, they have only offered me 3 elective credits for the entire...

Good & Bad News :( After discussing the program with my school and realizing several different factors I have been pretty much cornered in to decide not to do the program. My school rejected my request to get full credit for all WDWCP courses and instead only offered me one elective credit for...

You'd be surprised, Orlando is just as bad as Miami now. Theres too many people and not enough roads! Or at least not CONVENIENT roads, its either heavy stop-and-go traffic on the main roads or gridlocked highways during rush hour. :hammer: :mad:

As a local I can tell you; What you'll have to worry more about then even Florida drivers is the tourists. Disney is a very heavily touristy area as you probably already know and the roads are PACKED with tourists, most of whom are probably lost and resort to unsafe manuveurs like last-minute...

I live in Orlando, and I strongly recommend that you bring your own car down, Orlando is BIG and it takes a while to get from place to place, so unless you want to stay secluded in the world of Disney with no freedom to ride around I highly recommend you bring your car. There is an ALTERNATIVE...

Thanks again for the replies. I hope im not setting myself up for dissappointment as mentioned by Davidpw97, but I hope you understood why im being picky, and im sure that the Matthope03 understands what situation im in with my current job. I do want to work for Disney and I plan to do the...

RE: Scar Junior Scar Junior, Thanks very much for your reply. I understand what your trying to get to and I'll take your advice into account. I also understand that I am being picky; However, please allow me to explain, I am picky because this program would play a major role in my life, not...

Thanks for the reply. I hate the fact that im not guarnteed a hospitality role, so im guessing that I could bring my resume and show strong interest for the hospitality role during the interview and hopefully that would significantly improve my chances for this role, right? So, In the worst case...

After reading through this thread im surprised that no one has mentioned the internet as a key source of outdoor backstage access to any theme park. I have basically seen the backstage of every Disney park on the computer screen without ever setting a foot on those actual areas. No here comes...

Ive been strongly interested in the WDWCP for the Fall of 2007, Ive pretty much read through everything on the official website and ive been constantly browsing through these forums as well as the ezboard forum reading through WDWCP-related stuff. I currently work at a hotel and if I do the CP I...

Well, first off, thank you Maglite for your friendly welcome, im glad to be a new member of this interesting board. And in response to Mkt: In regards to your personal experience in witnessing a "Disney SWAT team" or some type of tactical unit, How are you sure that this team was part of...

I understand what your getting to as far as the reliability of Wikipedia. However, I believe that in this case the Wikipedia description is very accurate. The Disney Security is a full service independent security agency that is owned and operated as a company department by the Walt Disney World...
