Wouldn't it be so cool to be able to work at disney and live in one of the grand villas at a hotel?!

I was wondering what happened to SgtObiWan? Did you move? Were you able to get a job? I am considering the move myself but I am not a young 22 year old out of college and want to be sure I can get a job. I know you have to start from the bottom and work your way up but I'm even worried about getting in at the bottom!

He hasn't made one post since his original. I'm guessing it didn't work out the way they had hoped or he would have made a post somewhere on the forum.

Just an update. Our journey begins. We just went to Kissimmee and signed a lease on a place and flew back today to pack and move. Just did an application for Disney yesterday. We will be driving Uhaul on Sunday 3/29/15.

I was just hired by Disney to work watercraft. I start April 14. We are now living in Kissimmee.

Congrats SgtObiWan Did you apply for water craft? Did you have experience with boats? We want to move down from NJ in 4 years or so. Not sure where to start.

I'm looking to move with my family in late august - I will be in magic kingdom. Do you like Kissimmee? Is it fairly affordable?

Dr.Phillips is pretty close to the Walt Disney World Resort as I Live in Dr.Phillips and it's only a 10 to 20 drive to Disney World.

 

[New to The Magic]

do you know any good apartments in Dr. Phillips that has 2x2 for under $1,600?

 

[rob0519]

Congratulations on the move. Best of luck in the new job. What in watercraft will you be doing?

 

[SgtObiWan]

So far everything is going well, my wife and I love where we live the rent is very reasonable. We are living near the Four Corners area of Kissimmee. I love my job in watercraft. Yes I have a lot of boat experience but when I applied the only available position was bus driver but they still put me in watercraft because of my experience. Traffic on 192 can be bad at times. We are 7 miles to MK and it takes me about 15 to 18 min to get there due to traffic and lights. Hope this helps you guys...

Congratulations. We would love to do what you just did, but we have personal responsibilities that make such a life changing move impossible. Best of luck to both of you.

Congratulations on both of you being hired and moving!!

I would LOVE to do the same, but don't think it is realistic for my husband & I to up and move down there (we're in Northern Virginia, just outside fo DC) with our two daughters. Maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong and one day we will follow in your foot steps.

Best of luck to you and your wife in your careers!!

Hello,
We moved from the eastern shore of Maryland. So we were not too far from you guys. Best of luck to you guys as well.

Very cool to know you were so close by before your move. (Also cool because that means you understand why I said NORTHERN VA and not just VA, haha!)

What is the standard of living like down there compared to this area?

 

[roveness]

It's very easy to get attractions at all four parks. QSR(foods) is hard to get into because it's one of the highest paying entry level jobs at magic kingdom . I've been on the wait list for about 2 months.

 

[Cderoche24]

This is awesome. So glad things are working out! I am in Northern VA as well moving down at the end of September (hopefully Kissimmee or Clermont/Four Corners area). Did you guys use a moving company to move all your stuff down? If so, which one?
