How does D.land's compensation for new CMs contrast with this?

When you’ve most likely never done the DCP, but still want to mitigate and downplay the experiences of those who have.

Bye.

My wife worked full time resort merchandise, full time animal nutrition, and full time animal care for three years. She made less per hour than the lifeguard CP who was apparently starving to death, and her rent was a lot higher than $100 per week.

Did you ever do the DCP?

Seriously, people are embarrassing themselves in this thread. I distinctly remember eating sauteed spinach with jar tomato sauce and cut up string cheese in college. Everyone is poor in college.

But I bet not of these precious abused CPs spent any of their paychecks on Not So Scary tickets or cheap alcohol or trivia night at Ale House or limited edition mouse ears.

Embarrassing? Not quite.

One guy basically said that Disney forced his daughter to eat theme park cheeseburgers for 6 months against her will.

He said it was the only thing she could afford while working at the park. I'm not sure how that was embarrassing.

It's BS, as I've already pointed out. A theme park cheeseburger is an expensive meal. She could have gone to Publix and bough a week's worth of lunch meat and cheese for the price she was paying for a single cheeseburger.

Still, not embarrassing.

I would be embarrassed if my employed, college-educated, adult daughter couldn't find a way to feed herself outside of theme park cheeseburgers.

You’re wasting your time. I wouldn’t bother too much.

Agree. DCP or not, this is 100% valid observation. The story does not make sense. Nobody on the DCP is getting by on 20% off Disney meals.

20% off Disney's typical fast-food price is not cheap, just not as expensive. Why would they buy a Disney cheeseburger at 20% off when they could get a McDonald's double Quarter Pounder meal at full price for less than what Disney's 20% discount would be????


Not to mention that in the Disney cafeterias a very similar cheeseburger fries and a coke will set you back about 7 to 8 bucks. But again why go when all the DCP's have access to local grocery stores.

So why would anyone state that the only way they could find our next meal was to dine on Disney fast food restaurant and get a cheeseburger at 20% off? They had access to a grocery store. They had access to a plethora of restaurants surrounding them.

DCP or not the story just didn't seem likely.

didnt they just build a brand new building in CA right behind Cars land that has a new cafeteria and stuff? Any pics from the inside of it?

Ken Potluck. He's a big proponent of Mobile Ordering. Just what Dizneyland needs.

There is a cm cafeteria between Cars Land and Avengers Campus.

It looks like a typical cafeteria but does have various Walt themed paintings and newspaper articles hanging and stuff.

Yes, that's him! Ken Potluck. I'd forgotten.

Third, palmetto bugs are not "an infestation." Doesn't matter if you live in a 3,000 square foot four bedroom house with a professional cleaning company, you're still going to get cockroaches. It's Florida.

That's also Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

Those nasty things are everywhere in those states, regardless of how much you pay in rent.

When I was at Downtown Disney / DCA during the closure last winter, there was a line of 10 people or so in front of me at award weiners.

A guy in manager attire went up to each and every person and asked if theyve heard of mobile order and how we should use it. No one wanted to use it. It was hilarious. One by one everyone turned him down.

I'm not a Luddite and I use new technology, but it's obvious they have become way too dependent on Apps and QR codes.

This is not why people go on vacation and pay big bucks to enter a Disney theme park, so they can stare at their phones and ignore their family and the expensive Imagineered environment they ostensibly paid for just to order a hot dog via their phone.

At some point, you just need to hire enough people and train and manage them well enough to make the line at the hot dog stand go quickly and smoothly. Don't tell me to order the hot dog on my phone for a later pickup time. Just make the damn hot dog effectively and efficiently for me when I want to have a hot dog on my vacation. I already know I'm spending $9.00 on a $3.00 hot dog, so don't make it harder than it has to be for me as the customer.

A finnicky App and an annoying QR code do not make the hot dog taste better, nor does it make it cheaper, nor does it make it more fun. Theme park hot dogs are not rocket science, so don't pretend we need rocket science to overpay for one.

You're kidding, right? Does Disney give you a break long enough to drive to McDonalds?

Dude just bring a friggin ham and cheese sandwich that you made at home and stick it in the fridge in the break room.

I don't work at Disney and can't eat ham due to my religion.
