Have you or would you ever work for Disney?

I was in the College Program 15 years ago(!), and while I encouraged my now wife to apply too she declined because she didn’t want the magic ruined, which is an obviously fair point.

I went back home after my program given she didn’t want to relocate to Orlando and at the risk of sounding cliche, I lived the dream of being a Cast Member. I’ve been able to reconcile all that, still love the parks, and yeah it was absolutely worth it.

My 6th grade essay on what I want to be when I grow up was to be the monorail driver in Disney World, and if that didn’t work out I would be a teacher. I’ve been teaching for 30 years now and have moved closer to Disney, so maybe when I retire I’ll get to be a monorail pilot!

I did multiple college provrams from 2010-2014. Worked at Stands West in Magic Kingdom (turkey legs, dole whip, and funnel cakes mostly), Pecos Bills, and the majority at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!

I loved working at Disney and being part of the magic. Ive told my husbad multiple times that our retirement plan is to work at WDW part time!

First time I visited a Disney park was in 2002 when I did my CP.... I entered the park thru the utilidors, not the main gate...😂

It’s been so long that only one of the three attractions I worked on still runs as it did in 2002: Astro Orbiter. I was also assigned to ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter (RIP) and The Timekeeper, which used to be where Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is now.

I would! I am local and job hunting, I have applied to a couple of positions but nada, too many people out of work looking for the same positions, I was overqualified for what I applied for anyway:(

The issue is, they either hire for College Program or people with 5 engineering degrees, lol, I am neither .

I would work for them if I could just transition from being a home builder here in California to building a new Golden Oaks on Disney property. ;)

I've also talked to my daughters about trying to go into the program. My oldest is an artist and wants to do voice acting. I think it would be good experience for her but @ 15 she is too teen to care.

I have this crazy thought of working for Disney at the park. I wouldn't be looking for it to be the $$$, but a way to make a difference, to bring that Disney joy that has always been given to me. I live in North Carolina and would love to do a few months at Disney...maybe a seasonal job? Heck, not sure they'd want me, but it would be fun. Part-time is just fine with me.

I'd work almost anywhere...but I'd love to work in one of the attractions. How much of a blast would it be to welcome people to "the dead center of the room"?

Never have worked for Disney and highly unlikely I ever will since I can’t imagine living in either California or Florida. I need a place that has actual seasons.

I was a theatre major so the backstage vs magical onstage aspect wouldn’t bother me, I don’t think. However, It’d be my luck to be offered a housekeeping job which I would absolutely detest. YUCKOLA! No way.
