Part time? Seasonal? Not an option?

What is the min you can work part time? How does one become seasonal...i.e. ..working a few shifts per year? I don't need cash or health benefits...looking for alternatives to paying for park tickets. Yes I am cheap...the cost to replace 5 annual passes is something I am reluctant to do.

I believe the minimum to remain seasonal is at least 40 hours total in a 1 year period, but I'm not completely sure about that

Though I do doubt they would put all the time/money/effort into training someone just for the absolute minimum number of hours

I figured that you would need to work some sort of part time schedule first in order to justify the expense of hiring and training.....

not with how short staffed Disney is at some times. They'll bend over backwards loosening requirements when they're desperately short staffed.

Disney does typically have a lot of strictly seasonal positions open, usually in the most needed areas like food and beverage and attractions. Disney has an incredibly high turn over rate so they really don't think much of hiring and training someone even if it's just for a seasonal or temporary position. The majority of Disney training is done on the job so it really isn't that much of an expense to them.
There's also the option of being hired part time and then changing your status to seasonal.

For part timers it's only 2 days a week, and for seasonal I think its full availability starting out for the busy times of the year, and then you can come and go as you please.

My parents are part time seasonal and they pretty much say what months they're going to work and how many hours a week they want. There are not always part time seasonal openings, though.
