Well, I just got my letter yesterday afternoon, and I made it!! My check in date is August 14, and I will be delving into the lovely world of custodial work. It wasn't my 1st choice, of course, but not everyone can get attractions, at least their first try. I'm happy to help keep my favorite place in the world clean :wave:

My first choice was Merchandise, then Quick Service Food & Beverage was 2nd, and Operations 3rd. I'm really hoping I get Merchandise or Operations though (I should've switched QSF&B & Operations) - but me getting accepted is all that matters, and I'll take anything I can get

Wait, are you saying you got to rank your choices? Because the form I sent in just had a checklist sheet, and I checked everything that I was willing to do (everything except for Costuming and Lifegaurding), with no ranking involved.....

Hey Taryn, I did custodial when I was on the CP. Let me assure you that it is one of the better jobs by far. I was a little disappointed at first but after I was there for a while, I learned that there were worse jobs. Most want attractions, but that means you could get a pretty silly suit listening to "It's a Small World After All" for hours upon end for months. I'm sure you can understand that kind of torture. :lol: I wanted to do the Kilamanjaro Safari rides, but my roommate did that and said he got so sick of saying the same thing over and over again, driving around in circles.
As custodial, sure we empty trash cans, clean up protein spill, and clean bathrooms, but not very many cast members get the opportunity to walk around and talk to people normally and not say all day, "Please keep your hand and arms inside the ride at all times." (Which reminds me, don't raise your arms on Space Mountain if they are long. I did that and hit a cross beam. Thank goodnes I still have my fingers.) My advice is, you take out of Disney what you take in. Go in with a good attitude and you'll love working with the guests and your coworkers. I wish I could go back again.
