this is the only place i've actually felt 100% comfortable serving to people (table service) instead of the awkward talk that you have with people, you can be yourself and give advice to new disney comers and exchange stories of your favorite parks and stuff like that. i love it. the benefits are great and the interaction with people (CM's and guests) is amazing. i think everyone should do it. although i was a lil skeptical cause like you said, i thought it would ruin the magic for me. but i work at the boardwalk so going to the parks is still a magical thing for me. one of my friends works at tony's in magic kingdom and still goes to the parks like once a week. i dont wanna do that cause i feel like i will overkill it but its great. anytime i wanna go get something to eat, i could just go to epcot and eat something in the world pavillion and thats it. so yeah. become a cast member! they're hiring right now!!!
