You can mark me down for this job, I've had it since the 70's and still going strong. Friends, co-workers, and friends of friends I don't even know email the ages of their kids and I will photoshop maps of what attractions I would take them on and what routes I would take to get there.
The first thing I tell them to do (if they have kids) is to buy Birnbaum's WDW For Kids book, read it to their kids at night and let them mark it up with comments. Then when I get that report maps are neatly sent via email and I request a "trip report" upon their return as payment.
I enjoy being the live tour guide most. Our next trip is the first full week of December at which time there'll be 22 of us going. 12 of them will be first-timers and I can't wait to see the smiles on their faces as we enjoy our vacation.
A friend of mine in Vancouver went down on my advice with his two daughters (4/6) last year and I enjoy hearing his stories of how they still make him play the abominable snowman for EE when he gets home from work. He enjoyed it so much he is flying down to meet us in December to get the "first-hand" experience, lol...

Disney really need to capitalise on the quite lucrative WDW-going maggot demographic.

I feel like Disney should pay me with all of the knowledge and converting people to visit WDW/DLR. When someone tells me they're going to one of the parks, I do get excited and ask them a million questions. I have offered people to help plan their vacation or provide them with any information to help them plan their vacation. I always feel bad when people DON'T have a great time on their vacation.

I always feel bad when I hear someone has had a bad WDW vacation too. I usually end up apologizing and people say 'Well, its not your fault...'

I'm so obsessed that when I happen to be in a Disney Resort near the check in area, and I over hear someone ask a question like "Where's the bus stop?" I jump in and not only tell them where the bus stop is, I say "Follow me" and I literally leave my wife for a few minutes and then escort them to the bus stop.
I've actually done this from the Contemporary Resort 4th floor concourse.
I've also escorted people at the Ticket and Transportation Center from the Monorail Resort line down the ramp, then up the other ramp that takes you to EPCOT...and I wasn't even GOING to EPCOT so I had to go back down the ramp and back up the ramp to get back on the monorail to my Monorail resort.
I know...I know...I need therapy <sigh>
