    Disney launch 'Limited Time Magic' for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2013

    I don't think Goofy/Max would make sense. While they are dogs, they act as humans. It looks like the focus was on dog "pets." Max from Little Mermaid would have made sense theme wise, but considering that he crawls around on the ground, probably not safe for a Dance Party. I think it would have...

    Question About OT and Storybook Circus Shift

    OT is only calculated once... so if it's on a day over 8 hours the OT starts. After you reach 40 hours of regular pay (your OT time is not in this calculation) in one week, then everything after that goes into OT. Let's pretend your working 5 days at 10 hours. Everyday you get 2 hours of OT...

    Princesses getting new look

    That's old info - she was supposed to premiere towards the end of June but has been postponed to at least August, if not longer.

    Characters at Night

    As a general note - characters that meet indoors meet for the majority of park hours (MK-Fairies, Princesses, Storybook, Mickey) and characters that meet outdoors tend to stop meeting early evening. Some exceptions at MK is the Tomorrowland 626 Dance Party and Tiana/Naveen at the glade. Alice...

    Average Pay for Entertainment Technician

    Entry level Techs (level 4) start at 10.15 per hour; it's a union position so non-negotiable. Once you're in, you can apply for promotions to Tech 3, 2, 1; additionally, riggers are paid more. All new Techs are hired with the expectation they'll work pyro.

    Applying out-of-state for corporate

    I realize this is an old thread, but just in case others have the same question - depends entirely on the job. I would apply for everything you are interested in. As long as they are all similar type (ie, all Finance, etc) then they'll see you have a focus to what you want to do. I wouldn't...

    Princesses getting new look

    That's Jasmine's look for the new Happiness is Here Parade. Specialty Parade costumes are made all the time (look at MK's Celebrate a Dream Come True for instance). This doesn't mean anything for the other parks.

    Shift Pick Ups

    No - OT and the Cap are unrelated - anything over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week is OT.

    Shift Pick Ups

    Sorry - I don't log in often so I didn't see you had a follow up question. If you can work FT now, I think you should go ahead and put in the request once you get Hub access. However, when January comes, you're not guaranteed to be able to drop back to Part Time or Seasonal. It's all based on...

    Where to Live When Working at Disney?

    Winter Park is a bit of a drive - the closest areas depend on which side of the resort you want to be near. The north side (Magic Kingdom) is next to Windermere & Winter Garden, the south side (DAK) is closer to Celebration & Davenport. I know Hunter's Creek is popular among CMs, but you'd have...

    Disney Work Benefits

    Health Benefits are not linked to seniority - everyone pays the same. The price range is based on the type of coverage you want. Do you want little coverage or super coverage? I believe the prices Berlioz mentioned is only for individual coverage, family coverage is more. I've only ever used the...

    Shift Pick Ups

    The CAP is related to the magic number - 24 hours. If you work over 24 hours a week for X time (I think it's half the year?) then you'll get capped to 24. It doesn't matter if you work 25 or 55, anything over 24 is calculated towards that Cap. The best way to manage it is to work about couple...

    Mowgli meeting at DAK today only 5/14/13

    This is not part of Limited Time Magic - it's to prep for the Disney Dreamers Everywhere group (search on Facebook). DDE had their opening ceremonies at Epcot today and rumor is they have an event at DAK this week as well. WDWCharacterHunt posted two photos as well from this morning and this...

    Aurora's New Look Debuts at WDW

    WDW Character Hunt posted this great link from a french website - it even has Ariel & Snow White's link. I wonder how they got it? http://radiodisneyclub.fr/nouvelle-robe-princesse-aurore/

    Continue Applying but you said only once???

    Depends on the job classification. For regular park/resort jobs (food, merch, lifeguard, costuming, etc) that's one application every 6 months as they're all governed by the same Service Trades Union. However, you could apply for other jobs such as admin, management, internships, etc as those...

    living out of state and just approved an interview

    They do not typically interview out of staters for regular resort/park roles, so they're not likely to help with relocation (unless you're being hired as a look-a-like performer). I would just call them and let them know you're out of state and maybe they'll do a phone interview with you. Be...

    Part Time Questions

    1) It's best to only let yourself be available the 3 days you have full availability, then pick up other shifts as you can when other CMs are giving them away or on EHH. That way you can dictate your hours on those other days. 2) Depends on your role and location. Some locations do not increase...

    That area is outside of the space that Disney owns... they have enough property already without needing to cross the 429.
