Given the current way the company is running itself, as you have described, I tend to think one Cast Member here spells one less Cast Member elsewhere--the construction wall is honestly just as effective at keeping guests away as is a Cast Member telling them the ride isn't closed--and with the construction wall down, guests will ask when the ride will open. When the Cast Member tells them 75 days away...they'll ask why the wall came down, then...why even create that problem? It's completely unnecessary, and it costs money--why waste that money for the next 2.5 months?

As a Cast Member who is getting almost no hours, I'm glad to see Disney giving someone hours.

Plus, with Cast Previews starting tomorrow... the CM's will be needed. So what if they started a few days early.

I am glad they put a CM outside the attraction, the CM will be able to tell people about the ride and maybe it will amke people come back and try it out..........by the way, Rob what day are you going to the previews b/c we need a full evaluation of the ride, que theming, everything. Thanks

I'm going tomorrow and maybe wednesday

You can't bribe a fence to get an advance ride, so I see this as an improvement. :lookaroun

Interesting viewpoint...

Could the walls be down to let CM/Imagineers get in to ride the ride before it opens???

 

[ISTCrew20]

Im going to be there tomorrow, and im gonna find out whats going on, and get some answers, AND PICS. I will find a way to get a closer picture, or atleast find out whats going on with this wall situation so you two girls can stop fighting LOLOL Just Kiddin. Again, not afraid to promote another shameless plug to look for "Room1313's 6/3 Disney Update"

It wont disapoint (sp?)

That's ALL the average CM gets paid? Thats total [Insert Creative Adjictive Here]!!!! How in the heck is someone supposed to live on that with, letalone with reduced hours?

 

[ISTCrew20]

I'll be working for Disney in August if everything works out, and that sounds like a fine amount of money for me.. Being a CM and not being paid is fine enough for me at the moment.

I don't honestly see any logic in taking the wall down and paying a Cast Member to tell guests to stay away every day if the ride is not going to open soon--the wall told guests to stay away for free, and Disney is not in the position to waste money paying a CM to stand by the planters for the next 2½ months...

i think these are excellent points

With wall coming down could this signal the opening of the gift shop soon? Was it going to open before the actual ride did?

I don't think the wall has anything to do with the gift shop opening. The most recent wall only blocked the entrance to the ride. The gift shop could still be accessed even with the old wall up.

The giftshop was wall less, but thee was a yellow rope up in front of it. Hey All...Wish me luck on going to Mars today..Im going to stop at nothing to get on

Whether or not the wall coming down has anything to do w/ the gift shop opening, I would still expect it to open several weeks before the ride...I'd guess in the next few weeks, since they are stocking it already.

It's a fine amount of money as long as you are not trying to support yourself. When I lived at home I probably would have worked for Disney for free! No such luck anymore :lol:

don't want to be the bearer of bad news.. but the CM preview is being limited to Epcot cast only... and they are checking ID. Don't be dissappointed if you don't get on

I make a wee bit more than that..

 

[imagineersrock]

sorry, slightly off topic here but, does anyone have any idea what the pay is like in the imagineering department?? there are understandably many different levels; so maybe what a beginning imagineer would make??

thanks
