WDW Bridal Consulting / Wedding Department

[DisneySaint]

Okay guys this time I'm writing on behalf of my girlfriend. She is currently working fulltime as a medical receptionist and will continue to until I graduate in '05 and we can move to Orlando. She wants to do some furthering of her education so she can at least get into a mediocre job market when she comes to Florida, and really the only options she has are night school and correspondence courses. We priced night school and it is enitrely, pathetically beyond what she can afford.
One thing she was slightly interested in was Bridal Consulting; something she can get certified in completely via correspondence work. Before I give her the thumbs up to go ahead with it, I thought I'd ask what sort of market there is for such? I hear Disney itself has an entire department for weddings, so do they hire bridal consultants? If yes, how hard is it to get in that department? Outside of Disney, is there any demand in Orlando?

Any additional thoughts, comments, or opinions would be most welcomed.

this is an internal thing, you have to work at disney for awhile before you can post for something like this.

this is done internally through Disney Event Productions among other departments.

Those jobs are extremely rare and turnover is low... ie- unless someone dies or retires, it's unlikely they'll have a position open up anytime soon

Okie doke thanks for the tidbits guys.
So she would just have to start out as any old attraction-opping CM and just wait for that spot to open (if it does), right?

That is the basics of how it works...unless you are at the top of you game.
