cast member for a day

[epcot71]

i was just thinking with all of us disney freeks,geeks,what ever they call us-we all have one thing in common- we all loooooooooooooooooove disney!!!i just bought new house in se fla and cant relocate as of now but im dying to work at disney-why not let people like us work in a program that allows u to be a cast member for a day so then we can come back to our normal lives.sound kookie-well actually its not-it is actaully great for the company-after a while people get bored or tired and sometimes loose the disney touch-now what if they let us all loose in the park-lets say magic kingdom-of course we would have to abide by grooming standards and go through orientation -if u were a guest and got bomarded with super happy refreshed guys/gals-u would leave saying wow the cast members are really great-we have set a new level of service and at same time we have had real fun being cast members for a day

My mom was a marketing cast member for 10 years and she was working as a casual temporary employee, she only had to work 1 day every three months to keep her status. They also let her take position in the parks every so often for a day. I would work at disney if I got hired as a temporary casual employee but have not gone down to casting to check it out.

Just one day!?? Nahhhh....a couple months at a time! I hope to do the WDWCP (even though pay sux) but its not like i'm doing it to start my lifes savings....its just to get into the Disney company. Hopefully some day I will be employed full time by Disney.

I too hope to do WDWCP and your rightr Disjosh the pay sucks, but we're not going down there to make money...we're down there for the experience.

$$$$$$$

yes true-college program,internships,and entry level pay is not that hot -(like with any company) but professional positions-ie management,technical,executive is extremely competitive-so dont be discouraged thinking if ur not getting rich in college program come back when u graduate and youll have enough to but a nice new mickey mouse watch!

I find no interest in being a Cast Member...maybe cuz when u come right down to it...it's WORK...and the CMs don't really look like they're having fun.

But...I would like to try playing Mickey Mouse for a day....it must be cool having all the pretty ladies put their arm around you and hugging you....and all you have to do is get a cheap feel every now and then....yeah....that'll be cool.

I have a friend who works for the company. He knows a lot of the people who are the characters. He said once that usually Mickey is a girl in the costume. I think because of the height.

Seasonal cast members are required to work only 5 days per year in order to maintain their seasonal status. Some work locations (which require extensive training) require 5 days every 6 months.

My dream for a day as a WDW cast member would be to sing at one of the parks.

debbie if i sang at the parks-the attendance problem would get a lot worse real quick- especially if i danced-i dance like steve martin in"the jerk"
