What about going to clubs outside Disney property?

you can call in personals. but i wouldn't recomend going to the park you were schedueld to work in. If one of your managers saw you they might try to term you. florida is a right to work state so if they want you gone it's prety easy.

Why take a chance on underage drinking ANYWAY? :shrug:
knock yourself out, but bear in mind that Florida is a zero tolerance state. If you get pulled over and have even a .001 BAL, you go to jail. They don't play games here.
And if caught underage drinking, the club reserves to right to prosecute.
Don't call in on a holiday, PERIOD.
If you're a CP, don't call in during your last week.
Very true. Disney, while still having over 50k CM's in one site, is still small enough that they will find out.
However, when you do this, don't threaten any of the staff or pull a knife to show off to guests :lookaroun
I think you misunderstood me...
I'm not dumb enough to drink underage at a club, I just like dancing... and I'm being 100% serious. When my friends to go clubs, they never drink, all they do is dance. But since I'm not 18 yet, I haven't experienced it yet.
Thanks though!

I'm not sure how the whole calling in thing works with CPs. I've had managers and coordinators tell me that CPs DON'T have personal days. To be really honest, I would try not to call in as a CP unless you're obviously very sick. Get someone to take your shift or something.
Like others said, no drugs or alcohol. If your roommates have any, tell on them. Unless it's like hidden in a personal place by said roommate, everybody could potentially get termed. One kid had cocaine (pixie dust) in his room and everyone went byebye because it was on his desk and no one told. (You typically share a room with someone else, so security can get skeptical in situations like this).
And be careful what you say to people. Never get too comfortable with anyone... depending on where you work, you could be having tons of fun and meeting fun, new people, or re-living Saved By The Bell. Like any job with a lot of young people, it can get very gossipy. If someone really, really doesn't like you, it is very easy to get you terminated. Like someone previously said, this could be anyone from a manager to a fellow CM who just thinks you flat-out suck. Want a real example of someone I knew?
Me: Dude, I'm @&*(@^ing hot! What a day, huh?
other CM: Yeah...
other CM <to a manager> : Hey, Piebald cursed on stage. I was highly offended.
Don't get me wrong; You will have fun and it's an awesome experience, but if someone rubs you the wrong way, you might just want to be careful what you do or say around them.
If anyone wants, they can PM me.

nope, CP's DO have personal days- I never called in, never was late, always extended when the asked.... so the day after Christmas I took a personal day to hang out in the park with my family who was there to visit- I didn't feel bad, and I definitely didn't get termed. If CP's got holiday pay, I would have lost that, but since we don't.... eh...

"I just wanna dance."
by the way, since PI is +21 and you're not.... you might have a hard time finding any "clubs" unless you want to make the trek to downtown orlando or even by UCF (which is even farther). the UCF bars are pretty fun if you really just want to dance.... but..... downtown is a little sketchy.
A truer statement has never been spoken.

Sorry, I guess it sounded like I was implying you would drink, and I didn't mean that. Just be careful who you get in a car with - in Florida, or any other state! :wave:

I like Disney's tough stance. I have worked at too many places that were scared to terminate someone who obviously deserved to be termed. The parks have awesome customer service and most CMs have good people skills. It's hard to find that level of service these days. Even Disney's requirement of smiling is an art which has been lost in many areas. I know when I go back home, I'll have to go back into a-hole mode because the people are combative and rude.
Disney's tough stance unfortunately causes a lot of good people to get terminated due to false accusations and 1 mistake
What Disney needs is common sense, and to practice it.

I believe Disney HAS to take a tough stance, especially with college kids. Any teacher will tell you that you have to say what you mean AND mean what you say. Rules are useless drivel unless they're enforced.
