WDW hires 2000 cast members

[mkt]

my first time taking traditions - 2 8-hour days

my second time - in at 8, out at noon

Yah, when I was a CM it was 2 - 8 hour days. It's sad to hear it's a 4 hour morning now.

Exactly. MKT - you're the one I got the "recent info" on.

Again, this can be linked to the general downturn of Cast Member enthusiasm - - click here to hear the bear's full story.

By the way - - we have already discussed this and have come to a conclusion. . . but I don't see the point in bringing back threads for means of personal attacks.
=============================================
And now back to our regularly scheduled thread. . .

It's mostly older people working in the winter season (I believe their status is CT or CS???? But you'd have to ask someone who actually works with them to be sure...) and younger people (not CP kids... these are high school age) during the summer.



Just as a sidebar: I don't have a personal vendetta going on or anything. I just am very opinionated like yourself and I rarely, if ever, seem to agree with your opinions.

They are SEASONAL positions. Their contract will only run for the summer, hence they will not be laid off their contracts will end.

That will be me. I'll be down there from June to Aug. Got get my networking skills going for my AI.

If I recall correctly, they used to be 16 hours - two days. One very recent report said 8:00 - 12:00 (4 hours - one morning).

Sadly, it really shows.

Grizz my dear it is only 4 hours for the College Program kids, it is still 8 hours for the regular CMs, then 1 day at your park about your park then 3 days On the Job training.

So things are not as bad as people make them out to be.

you sure now...

I had to retake traditions this last February, and I was there just under 4 hours.

Wow the economy is coming back. Now get me a new job with more money$$$$$

 

[10 min. to wdw]

when I applied in March I was told it was 1 full 8 hour day.

Too bad I can't work seasonally...since working at the Disney Store is considered a conflict of interest...so I'll guess I won't be working on my vacation this summer... Wish I could though...

How many CPs were in your room?

When I went through the auditions for Traditions my first question was about the length of the class, and that is what was told to me. This was a month ago.

Aw I won't be able to apply for another 4-5 years now. It sounds like a lot of fun. But I'm aiming for IMAGINEER!

 

[mkt]

there were about 20 people, and only 3 were CP's in mine...

maybe I was just a fluke?

Thanks. But there are some imagineers as young as 21! I can always dream!

Also, if you work at Disney, do you have to shave your beard or mustache or any facial hair?
