Attractions in Fantasy Land?

Good day everyone :-).
I was recently hired as a PT cast members in Fantasyland Attractions at the MK. I have my traditions class on Tuesday, and can't wait to get started. However, I have a couple of burning questions that I was hoping someone could answer for me before then...

As an attractions cast member assigned to Fantasyland - will that mean I get trained in ALL fantasyland attractions or just a single attraction (Small World, etc)? I know I wont be trained on attractions outside of fantasyland.

Also, as a PT employee, is there a cap on the number of hours I can pick up per week for Parade Audience Control or for other attractions cast members? I heard somewhere that you can't get more than 1,000 hours per year at Part Time - which is only 19.5 hours per week :-(.

Thanks for the assistance :-)

There are 3 complexes in Fantasyland- you will be initially trained in one (if I have them correct, they are Small World/Peter Pan, PhilharMagic/Carousel/Snow White, and Teacups/Winnie the Pooh). It is possible to eventually cross-train at another complex though.

As PT, you are scheduled 24 hours. I want to say that after 6 months of going over that, you then are capped (where you can't be scheduled more then 24 hours a week).

Just an update guys. The 4 complexes are PhilharMagic/Carousel, Pooh/Tea Cups, Snow White/Dumbo and Small World/Peter Pan. For better or worse, I have been assigned to PhilharMagic/Carousel. I was actually hoping for one of the more "upbeat" and moving attractions like maybe Pooh/Tea Cups -- but it didn't happen anyway.

oh well :-)
Thanks for the early assistance though!

I think the only one I wouldn't want would be Small World/Peter Pan (especially for Peter Pan).

Pan and Small World isn't that bad of a complex. Small World is a lot better than most other locations. I personally prefer Small World over Pan and so do most of the other CMs. Your day definitely goes by fast working it.

Now merge on the other hand...

That's why I don't want Pan! I worked at TSM, and HATED Merge with a passion. Don't get me wrong- I love the ride, but could not work there

God bless the "Ignore" button.
I'll assume Merge is merging the regular and FP lines? If so, I can totally understand why that'd suck.

Even worse than a character attendant at the end of a shift? I'd always assumed that'd be the worst!

After doing both, I'd pick character attendant over doing Merge at TSM. With character attendant, I can count on one hand the number of bad instances I've had in 5.5 years

Fantasyland is changing complexes soon. Philhar/Carrousel, Pooh/Tea/Snow, Pan/Small, Dumbo/Barn.

No one knows where Fairytale Hall, Mermaid or new Snow White will go.

Part Time has 28 weeks to work over 24 hours until you are capped.
