But in the end, every person working there is free to use what skills they have to get a better job with more pay somewhere else. If you can find one person that has no prospects beyond their job at Disney I would be surprised. How much money the company makes doesn't matter in the least to the employee so long as the company is able to continue making good on the pay checks. No where is it written that employees are entitled to pay based on the profitability of the company they work for, nor should it ever be that way. Is there something stopping those employees from purchasing shares of Disney?
Typically, yes, they do get paid better. I think it said on the website that the starting rate for look-alike roles is 12.40/hr. I say 'typically' because my friend works at "The Great Movie" ride and she gets paid the same hourly rate (7.83/hr more or less) for the acting roles implemented on that ride too.
Right now the difference in COL is 3% higher in orlando if coming from Houston. However Orlando is 37% cheaper than LA. Also if you live outside of Orlando Houston becomes more equal and LA becomes even more expensive
I could see my old man doing that. He loves boats.I would love to retire and drive one of the small ferry boats that service the resorts on bay lake.
May I ask why you work there, especially since it takes you so long to get there? Is it for the experience? My son (a HS junior) makes minimum wage at a pizza place ($7.25 per hour) but he can walk to it. Seems like a lot of hard work, not to mention what you have to put up with everyday... which is much appreciated by our family... we have experienced nothing but the best customer service in our trips to WDW, so thank you!
These days it's not just Disney. My son, a college grad, has been working at the same place (large grocery chain) for 5 or 6 years. He makes just above minimum and is begging for full time.
I know many older folks work part time for a little spending money, they love Disney and the ability to help family get into the parks free but even that I told is less than it used to be. Also many work there on internships from colleges. They work in the hotels for istance as they plana career in hospitality having Disney on your résumé is priceless after you graduate. Just like any other company I'm sure there are those who wish to work there to make a living and go through exactly what many of us did in our careers hoping for that promotion and raises.

Just making a statement don't take everything personal.Who said they didn't? I was responding to a question posed by someone else......

Sadly many people appear to think that the world "owes" them something for nothing more than the fact that they exist. When I was growing up you worked hard and got rewarded for it, if you were a lazy bum you got nothing.... I suppose it all starts in elementary school now where no one is allowed to invite their friends to a birthday party unless they invite the entire class... doesn't matter if little Billy the Bully has been stealing your lunch money you are still supposed to invite them too... And when those people have been brainwashed for 12 years they end up thinking that everyone is "owed" large pay and that it isn't something earned.Folks it is called free choice no employee any where is forced to work anywhere they think they do not get paid enough.
I believe a bus driver is one of the higher paid, if not the highest, of the entry level positions. It also requires having the appropriate license.
