working for disney
- Thread starter enough

yes.. this is thw wrong forum.. it needs to be placed in the employment forum.. but that's enough of that.. back to the question in hand..
unfortunately, the benefits vary considerably from one department to another... so yeah. Post a bit more info, and I'll see what I can do

ugh.. it all depends also on which parks you wanna get into... it's really more complicated than it needs to be..
ex. in WDW, WDW, DLR, DLRP, ABC, TDS, WDI, Corporate, Studio, and Animation CM's get free admission... provided they're permanent CM's with an ID
in DL, only CM's that have direct connections to the parks and corporate get in free...
but the policies change so often, and enforcement varies so much, that honestly... this is one of the things I don't like dealing with

Just full of good news
Sorry about that, but it seems worth noting here that the Disney Stores have already pared down <i>considerably</i> and the Orlando Sentinal mentioned the possibility of the remaining stores being converted into franchise-type operations. No word on what that would do to the benefits.
Then again, the Sentinal has less than a perfect record in their speculation. They did say, however that one or two local Disney Stores and many worldwide had closed already (as has the Character Connection store at the CrossRoads).
The sunny side of this is everything in the world 'o business goes in cycles. We all know which way we've been cycling since late 2000. So you who are 16 and not yet in the full-time job market... it's a great time to be a kid! If you happen to go to college you have what... six years? to see the other end of this cycle.
Who knows <i>what</i> WDW will be doing then?
Ok, if I can't be the Earl of Sandwich... who's opening his first restaurant at Downtown Disney... believe it or not... maybe I can be the Baron of Bad News or the Duke of Discouragement.

For more on those closings, check out Motley Fool and Forbes.
Maybe there's a thread on this already elsewhere on wdwmagic.com?

It just seems like everyone is out to get something from the company. I believe being a CM is one of the best things, when you can see and feel the magic inside. And knowing that what you do makes an impact on a guests experience is the greatest feeling. Comp tix are merely a bonus. Then again those are my thoughts..............

working at disney
This is for the 16 year old who was thinking of working at the Disney store. I work there and I am just letting you know that you have to be 18 to be employed there. And as for your other question there are a couple of people my age working there, 2 of whom are boys!
Hope this helped
