That would be awesome to work seasonally. I don't think I could do the heat in the summer.
Be prepared to work 7 days a week then. At least you get summers off, I am not that lucky, and working 7 days each week is hard. Good luck!I am graduating in May 2009 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. If I get a teaching job in orlando or nearby then I am moving to Florida and working at Disney and Teaching. I need that salary job first because you can't really live off of minimum wage. I've always dreamed of working at
Disney and I really want to be a character attendant. That is the dream! I hope it happens!
By the way, does anyone know what an average salary is per year when working for Disney (ie: ride operators, etc)?
We just got back from WDW on Saturday and it got me thinking about spending the winters in FL after our kids are grown. That's at least 12 years off. We saw many older employees working at WDW. Does anyone know if they hire people just for the winter months? We would never move down there all year round but it would be great for 3 months to get out of this South Dakota cold. I haven't searched any threads on this so sorry if this has been discussed before.
I'm originally from Northern Ohio and I moved down to Florida. I did the college program back in 2005, and I liked it so much that I didn't want to leave when my program ended. So I went back to Ohio when my program ended, and now 2 years later I moved back down to Florida. I'm a full time cast member at Cinderella's Royal Table, and I live 4 minutes from the Magic Kingdom cast member parking lot. I can hear and see wishes from my apartment and I love it. It was the best decision that I have ever made in my life. I can't get enough of Walt Disney World.
i wouldnt want to live there at all. i LOVE wdw, and hate to have to leave, but a BIG part of the magic is the anticapation. if ur flying down, the magic starts at the airport, intensifies when u land, and solidified when u pass under the main arch. driving, magic starts when u pass familiar landmarks, like south of the boeder. the trip there is all part of the magic of disney, symbolizing you leaveing the real world of taxes, bills, terrorism, war, etc, and entering another world, where your 10 years old again and everything is new. even the simple temp change for those of us here in the north is part of it. when i get on the plane, its usually in the 30's or less, your all bundled up, when u get off the plane, its warm, breeze is blowing, and the scents of cedar mulch and flowers in december all serve in the magic of the disney experiance.
