Worst Job at Walt Disney World?

[CaptainAmerica]

Worst job is being an Imagineer...because you can see the vision and the dream... but you’re never given the budget or permission to bring them to fulfillment. Must be maddening.

WDI usually gets plenty of money to execute their vision... then they go insane.

That is the truth. 101%

Anyone dealing with a maskless "guest" these days. So, all of them?

Being an imagineer, you have to destroy one of the greatest places on earth.

Answer: Joe's T&E.

Hey, at least they covered part of the building. If Expedition Everest was built today we'd probably get a giant box painted green to blend in with the trees.

People honestly believe that 70 man junkets for weeks to Nepal in the Internet age are actually a “good investment”

...he can at least fly there for free now if he wants to...not a $2200 flight on Air Mongolia

So long as it isn't POG, I'm all for it.

I searched the forums but didn't find anything on this: I'm curious what current or former CMs consider to be the worst job at WDW and why.

Parking attendant in the sun and rain? Sweeping up horse...droppings? Herding people at firework/show times?

Thanks in advance for the insights and stories. I'm just genuinely curious.

Custodial staff.
Think of how many *accidents* happen in a Disney park on a daily basis: urine and feces and vomit and the occasional blood....and how many biohazard latex things-to-prevent-accidents they have to clean from the hotels (and other areas).

There was a story of Walt Disney's wife against his dream of building an amusement park. She commented they are dirty. Walt advised his wife - "Not mine".

Yes but Walt has been gone for 55 years.

Turkey legs and thrill rides are here to stay.

I was on walnut street in philly yesterday and it was filthy too

Okay, I was a merchandise host for seven years, then worked backstage in various role for 10. Only only job I really didn’t like was a very temporary one… They call it “cross-u” when you work onstage during a peak time. I did that often in those 10 years. But one time, the assigned location was a hotdog cart near Splash Mountain. Standing over those steaming hotdogs for one full shift just about made a vegetarian out of me!

Thats the norm anymore.
But wasn't used to seeing a resort that bad. Trash everywhere, reminded me of home

Disney Parks are still the best maintained...even if they aren’t OC about them anymore. I imagine the robot sweepers will do a good Job when implemented as well

Janitorial during F&W

If you all really wanna play a game at Disney, hang out in the bathroom for 10 minutes and count how many times you hear people on the toilet struggling.

I unfortunately was stuck in the bathroom at bugs land in DCA once. I wasn't the only one having problems and it's even better listening to people suffer while cutesy Disney bug sounds are playing through the speakers.

Mask enforcement

This, this right here. Anywhere. People can be nasty buggers.

Kids don't just make messes if they're being sloppy or disrespectful. Sometimes they're just... not that skilled at eating rice with a fork, for example.

I mean, they wear giant bibs for a reason.
