I was given a project the other day in school. The project is title your future job. I hope the some day i will be able to be in a management position at WDW. If anyone can help me with some info or anything it would be greatley apprectiated.

One thing we have to explain is what a day would be like. Im not sure at all so i was wonderin if anyone had any clue. We need to show education, how much money a year, and a whole bunch of othere stuff.
Thanks

Would you be interested in maybed trying a day in the life of an imagineer? I get several copies of the Disney Magazine and they just had a great interview with one of Disney's foremost immagineers. He designed Indiana Jones, Disneyland Paris, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, etc. It's a very detailed article! I'd be more than willing to send you a magazine to help you out for free, or you can pick one up at your local Barnes & Noble or other large chain bookstore.

Hey thanks alot. I think i will be able to pick one up myself though. Maybe i can change my career to a WDI. That would be an extremley interesting occupation.

In that case, you'll also want to look up the book Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look at Making the Magic Real. It was written by the Imagineers. It's a great book, and should be available in your local library. If not, I know I've seen the paperback version in Borders.

By the way, I was in the Backlot Tour water tank show too! I was "Captain Hank" of the patrol boat, hence my AIM name "CaptainHank04" It was so much fun!

One of my friends who played the deck hand actually got the wettest of all of us. He'd also just been in the Indiana Jones show that day. We really got around. The picture of our "crew" is what I cherish most from my trip with the band that year. I had just told them that maybe if we'd gotten in line earlier we would have been picked for the show. Then, a CM came down the ramp and saw our group and asked if anyone wanted to get a little wet. Four out of our group of six got to be sailors, and the other two took pictures. It was great!

Thanks alot. Im going to head for the local library to find what info that i can find tommorow. I seem to be able to find alot more info on WDI so i think im gonna do that rather that just a WDW management.

I loved doing the back lot tour. I was just a deck hand but it was fun. I had the crowd all laughin at me and some people actually came up to me and asked if i worked for the park. They said that i was acting like a real actor. I just wished that someone would have had the video and was able to record it so i could keep it. I just cant wait till im 18 and can do something in indiana jones. :animwink:
