I want to be a Cast Member

[JackSkellington]

I read somewhere that during the summer Disney has a program that allows a certain number of young people work as CM's for the summer. I do not know if it does exist, or if it was a hoax. But if it is real can anyone please provide more information on this subject. Thanks in adv.:sohappy:

I would LOVE to become a CM at Disney. My dream job is to be a bellhop at the Tower of Terror.
But, im a UK citizen, so unfortunatly, my only option is working the UK pavillion at Epcot..

I thought as I was a UK resident, i'd be restricted to working the Cultural Representation program due to something to do with work permits, and i'd have to be a U.S citizen to be a ride operator or something similar?

 

[JackSkellington]

Ahhh. That is quite possible. Sorry to hear that though.

 

[Tornado]

Thats what i've heard anyway. I'd love to come to WDW for a year and just work round any of the parks. But, I don't see that happening unless I move to Florida permanently, which at my age (19) isn't really a possibility.

 

[JackSkellington]

Hey it could happen.

 

[TURKEY]

Jack, I thought by now you would know this would fit better in the employment section.

 

[JackSkellington]

The what section?? Sorry I only hang out here, DL, secrets, and tips. Not much else. But if you refer me I will put something up there also. I have some other questions to ask.

 

[JackSkellington]

I just got a PM saying it is a college program. And does still exist. Who hoo. I am so there.

 

[bgraham34]

Its not that easy to get in. I waited 7 hours at college for the interview. And they do it twice a year. Check your college and see if they are involved in the program

You got that right. When they move a post to those other rooms, they may as well delete it, :lol: because EVERYONE pretty much stays in those three.

The College Program for the summer term is no more. They just extend the length of the spring college program.

Next time you are heading to orlando, call the jobline(407-828-1000) to set up a meeting at casting. Go and get yourself a job, if you can afford to stay here while you are training you can get a job that only requires a few hours a year. I have a few friends that live in Ouio and come and stay here for a week or two and workj a few shifts to keep their employment up to date...it is possible to work there and not live here.

 

[mkt]

may god help us if you get cast in WDW...

:lol:

 

[JackSkellington]

Thanks for all the info. And the encouragement mkt. May God bless you on your trip. And I will look into this. And thanks again.:lol:

Now if you do become a CP I can tell you that they do let people come back during the summer depending on the demand and your work location.

 

[paulcmartens]

encouraging news...

I hear encouraging news for a position I've 'always wanted': monorail driver.

I asked one of the drivers if it was hard to get in (disneyland you have to wait years to get into a TOT attraction apparently)

She said she got on after a few weeks. That's cool.

See, there is allways an opportunity. For those who work hard.:sohappy:
