News Jellyrolls Announces Departure from Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

[JMcMahonEsq]

Every customer facing job at Disney is a customer service job. Disney Security standards are still 1. safety, 2. Courtesy, 3. Inclusion, 4. Show, and 5. efficiency.

Security at Disney should be just as friendly as attraction hosts, character attendants etc. when talking to guests. Especially when the request is very simple - like an Uber drop off.

That’s such crap it squeaks going into a turn. Inclusion? are you talking about.? Show? They are not fing clowns or performers, they are security staff. Safety. Sure, enforcing rules, absolutely. Courtesy? Sure. But that doesn’t mean bending rules for every Karen or Ken that thinks the rules don’t apply to them.

Is your take that Disney security should have a different standard than other guest facing positions?

If that’s that case - then Disney needs to hire greeters for the guest facing roles.

I haven’t really ever had to be involved in retail, but I don’t see how security relates to retail. a lot of securities job is telling people what they can’t do, where people can’t go, ect.

It’s called CUSTOMER SERVICE…

We're talking about a made up rule.

People want their kids to be able to sleep.

You would be surprised on how noisy it really was. We once had the room circled in red below. I wasn't happy with the front desk, but they assured me that if it was noisy, they would move us, no problem.... Well, it wasn't noisy and I slept fine.

I thought it was really loud the one time we had a villa on the Boardwalk so YMMV. We don’t book that anymore.

What made it loud? The street shows? The boats honking the horns? People eating ice cream, corn dogs, cakes? The movies shown on the lawn?

Not for nothing, but if you do some research on Boardwalk, you’ll see what the resort looks like and what you could possibly expect…I mean if you book POP lower level by the pool, you would expect guest noise, no? C’mon, folks (ESPECIALLY on this forum), do some homework! We’ve stayed there, knew what we could expect, had ZERO noise problems (2nd floor overlooking the bw) and had an AWESOME time there…

Til the last few years, Disney obviously thought it made sense to have the Boardwalk be a night time draw for those staying at the resorts around the Boardwalk. Catering to those staying at the hotel would be having restaurants and things to do at the resort. Not everyone wants to go to bed at dusk

I've been curious about the skyliner's impact on the Boardwalk. Id imagine its increased use of the area a bit? Wonder if that had an impact.

Maybe a little - but the skyliner is a decent walk from the boardwalk.

Boardwalk has always been busy with all of the street entertainment, carnival games, and various bars and restaurants. Of course with 2 closed venues, that doesn’t help.

Skyliner dramatically increased the number of guests using the international gateway. The internet has increased the number of guests who want to use the international gateway at park opening. Shorter walk to Remy.

That may be a reason to restrict ridenshare access at park opening.
