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.

Absolutely! My wife and I talked about moving to Florida briefly after our first vacation at WDW. She’d probably get in pretty easily with her background. My background couldn’t really translate to the Disney side of things.

I want to drive the DVC Van.

Well of course, you are DVC Dan! :-)

A couple of years ago my wife and I talked to someone working as a cashier at Mercantile at the Wilderness Lodge. She was a retired snow bird who came to Florida for three months every winter and she worked about 15 hours a week at Disney when she was down there.

I like that. One day that may be ME.
