What is the oldest age you can be to work at WDW?

[mpaul32001]

My Grandmother is afraid to call the WDW jobline because she is afraid they will laugh at the question....does anyone know? She is a WDW FREAK and would love a job there....:shrug:

As far as I know, there isn't an age.

I worked with some pretty old retirees.

I have heard of someone 89 working there.

It's not legal to discriminate against senior citizens. There may be certain jobs most of them are unable to do. But they are as qualified as anyone to do many of the jobs.

One of my favorite CMs I've ever met was named Mac and he was a guide on the Great Movie Ride. He had to be somewhere in his 70s but he was absolutely the most enthusiastic performer I've ever seen on the Great Movie Ride and you could tell that he truly loved what he was doing. His passion for movies was infectious.

The youngest you can be is 15 (As long as you have a Family Member who is employed by the company) and as for how old you can be, there's no age limit. As long as she knows what she can and can't handle (Extreme Heat, Lifting Heavy Packages, etc.) she'll be just fine

Tell her to go for it! That's, seriously, the worst that could happen...and that's not terribly bad. I mean, she's a grandmother, and I'm sure she's had her fair share of trials and humiliating situations...getting laughed at over the phone should be nothing Besides...it's like other people have said on here, it's illegal to discriminate because of a person's age. She'll be fine

Does any one know the minimum age? My brother is 15 and he wants to wrk there badly. He may be going with a school trip next year and he wants to apply. So does anyone know the age?

I was hired to work with characters at age 50. And I don't mean wearing the yellow shirts and do the crowd control. Tell your Grandma to go make magic.

You must be 15 to work at WDW, if your parent/guardian has a job there. Otherwise, you need to be 16. Certain positions require you to be 18 or older.

Ok thanks!

I think you have to be 18 to work in attractions...at least that's the way it is at the DLR!

Just an FYI, I answered that question about 2 posts before you asked it.

There's a woman that works in my area and she is the most adorable person ever..... I am not 100% positive but I believe she is 91.

Wow! That's awesome! Where do you work? I'd love to meet this woman! I tend to gravitate toward adorable, elderly women. I have a friend who took some college courses with me that about 83/84...and I met a lady working in Gatlinburg, TN about a week ago that was 87....they have some of the most interesting stories and insights you'd ever hear!

There are several old guys working in Monorails. Popular job for pension collectors. They tend to gravitate to the slower stations where they can interact more with the guests. Poly, Grand Flo, Epcot, etc. While the youngins tend to enjoy running around Kingdom Express at night, yelling and packing in people.

Something for everyone.

No age as long you can physically do the job that they apply for.
