    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    I know my mom hates the fact that they are getting rid of the resort specific merchandise. If they don't watch it, there will be no reason for people from the west coast or inter-mountain west area to visit WDW. They can get all the same attractions at DLR without spending nearly as much money...

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    Nevermind the fact that if you just get 30 minutes of lunch, you have no time to buy that $8-$9 Subway sandwich. :lol:

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    Lightboy I completely agree with you on the cafeteria food as well. If you buy anything more than chips you are forking over an hour's worth of pay, possible more.

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    I have to say that this describes the two different types of CM's very well. I used to be in the former group, the group that worked at Disney, played at Disney, and basically lived at Disney. Then reality set in, and I just started seeing more of the BS on a daily basis that I hated. I also saw...

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    You are also a type of CM that I do not like, the type that believes that some people are entitled to positions just because they are Disney freaks. Let me inform you about me, I was in the position a year ago that some of your friends are in now. I had completed a professional internship and...

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    I agree that this is great news. I also agree that those individuals need to go, especially Holmes, Crofton, and Grier, they add nothing to the company at all. I could care less about Iger, he is nothing to this company. Iger was meant to be the opposite of Eisner, someone who would just blend...

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    You are right on all accounts, union protection doesn't mean they can't fire me. I also agree that they will not offer buyouts to front line CM's. With that said, they simply can't fire CM's without just cause, you should know that. My record card has more GSF cards than Call Ins, I haven't had...

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    Have you worked for Disney before? If you have, you know it's a complete 180 between the guest experience and the employee experience. Simple answer to your question though: Voluntary Quit = Nothing in terms of compensation or benefits Layoff = 6 months of compensation and benefits I need...

    Disney plans resorts reorganization, layoffs

    Here's one CM looking for a layoff or buyout. I am currently a front line Cast Member in Concierge and I for one hope this reaches front line Cast Members. This is going to completely sound wrong, but I am glad to hear this news. I love Disney and I love all of the memories that I have as a...

    College Courses

    As a former CP and Campus Rep, the first thing to consider is college credit. Have you talked to your university about whether they will accept credit for the course? Not all universities will let the course transfer over, my university for example gave me 3 credit hours for the college program...

    National Treasure DHS Ride!

    I think a National Treasure coaster at DHS similar to the Mummy would be a great addition and very popular. As much as I hate to say this (since I know so many people at Backlot) I would support them putting a ride like this to replace Backlot, since that ride is all but dead since they gutted...

    Club 33 at Disney World?

    I would like to see something similar to a Club 33 at WDW, but obviously not exactly the same. I would probably never be able to afford it but it would be nice. If people have that type of money to spend more power to them.

    Considering DL Trip

    The whole size thing is overrated, in fact in my opinion WDW's greatest strength and greatest weakness is in its size. Park hopping and getting from the onsite hotels to the parks and DD is so much easier at DLR than WDW. As for the parks themselves, even though I grew up with WDW I consider DL...

    Disneyland gets new Monorail Trains!!!! First in 20 years!!!

    I just came back from Disneyland and even though I wish I could see the new monorails in action I prefer the DL monorials to the ones at WDW. It's more compact, the windows are down halfway, and I love how it's more of an attraction and goes through the park (I didn't feel the big angle like a...

    Another new PI member here, I just accepted a position for the Disney Learning Center Internship. I'm really excited about it and being able to help out the cast as much as possible, plus I have heard really good things about the internship and the department! I can't wait to meet some of you...

    Profressional Internship and Housing

    Hey everybody, realize this really is not employment related but I just wanted to post here to say that if anybody is interested in sharing rent somewhere or if someone has an extra room in their apartment, condo, or house I would definately be interested. I will either be staying on full time...
