Hi everyone!
Just wanted to know if any of you can help me out in egards to going for a job at WDW. I have had a feirce desire to work there in some way shape or form since i was very young and every once in a while the desire hits me again. Could anyone give me some thoughts on how to accomplish this? Let me tell you a little about myself....
I'm 33 and heavily involved in all things imaginative and creative including Disney on a personal level, and have extensive experience in graphic artwork, performance, and puppeteering for more then 25 years now. I draw everything free hand and have created numerous original cartoon creations on my own including most of the puppet characters i have in my shows. Have run my own entertainment company since 1985 that showcases my Marionette Shows for hire to private and public places. I have tons of performance experience when dealing with people in general including children....i know Disney would be a perfect fit for me as i'm positive that i already have what it takes. I have a lot of quaility costume character experience and worked at Chuck E Cheese's for 3 1/2 years as both the character and Assistant Manager. To this day most people who know me are wondering why i don't work for Disney....even they can see it!
So now you are probably wondering....why don't i just go ahead and DO IT??? Well, i don't know HOW to really so that is why i am asking here where i know i can get REAL answers that could really help.
So this is what i am wondering....What exactly is the best way to present yourself there? Call and set up a interview....or something more?
Also, i am from Boston, MA and if i worked there i would abviously have to re-locate to Orlando to work regularly there. Where could i find close, decent housing? Is there some type of housing availible to Employees that is close to the Parks and is there any public transportation availible from these areas? I ask as i don't drive, or have a license (I know....hard to beleive..but you don't need one in MA where i live!) so transportation would be a issue with me.
I keep thinking that one of these days, i need to STOP thinking about this and just DO IT.....but the above questions haunt me and hold me back. This is the place i need to be...i have always had the gut feeling....as i am seriously wasting my time and creative efforts at the job i am at now.
Any help , info, or encouragement would be GREATLY appreciated.....thanks in advance.
