That's awsome!
An intern in my group picked up a bunch of extra shift at Casey's and loved it :animwink: Unfortunately, he hogged most of the shifts there so I never got the chance :lol: kidding; but I did pick up some PAC which were amusing

Fall 2006:
World-Famous Jungle Cruise (Woot!)/Liberty Square PAC/MNSSHP/MVMCP
It was hilarious: guests would recognize me in different locations. Some amusingly wondered if I was stalking them. I guess that could be magical :veryconfu.
I have so much respect for people in the service industry, especially food and beverage! Sometimes it just sucks. I had my fair share of guest interaction and became more extroverted. It was also my first taste of the sur/real world as I feel I've lived in a bubble and had never had a job.
As a Disney geek, the CP for me was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore every nook and cranny of the World inside and out, as a guest and a CM, onstage and backstage. I was obsessed and had been waiting for this for ages, so I took a break from school (which had burned me out) and breathed and just completely immersed myself in the magic (and had some not-so-magical experiences) and met a lot of cool/or not-so-cool people from everywhere. I still keep in touch with many of them, and hopefully I'll be seeing a few this summer! And I got to dress up in interesting costumes. I loved the free transportation and the apartments and I must have taken a zillion backstage tours and workshops and seminars on Disney! Frankly, some of the magic disappeared for a while; I was trying to find it. It ultimately returns, though. I just have a different perspective on the World and life in general now. *Sigh*. That was quite an exciting (and sometimes boring) era...
I should probably get paid for this endorsement (although mice don't pay much :lookaroun).

Reading through this post, it would seem I am the old timer of the group??? (how the hell does that happen??)
I was a CP Spring of 1998 and worked on the opening cast of Animal Kingdom. I worked as a transportation host i.e. parking lot crew...
Greatest time of my life, hands down. Anyone reading this thread and considering applying for a CP...DO IT NOW! I have made friends that I still talk to 10 years later. (has it really been 10 years???? GOD!!!)
On the flip side though, I much prefer being a tourist than a cast member. Working/seeing behind the scenes did take away some of the magic but it's been a long time now so I am back to being just a plain, old tourist.

Not much. In fact, one of the managers is now a manager at DHS (Playhouse, Voyage, Narnia, and One Man's Dream). I keep running into him.
