Disney CAST Member!!!

Hello everyone. Sorry i was not sure where to post this so move it if needed.

I had my interview at Disney World Yesterday and it was a huge sucess. The interviewer loved me so much i was hired on the spot. I so wanted to be goofey but i my shoulders were just a bit to big to fit so i'll be a performer in all the Disney parades.

I'm very excited about the job and makeing a totally new start. If there are any CAST members here i would love some comments of what to expect. Not sure when my first day is.... I'll find out tomorrow.

Also if there are any cast members here i look foward to meeting you all very soon.

I'm currently in Orlando now and will be heading home to move everything and plan to be back in Orlando July 8th or 10th so shortly after i assume will be my start date.

Thanks...

Congrats! Why did you decided to move down there?



If you are looking for some crazy people that would be more than happy to share in your excitement, head on over to www.wdwmagic.com . I post over there, and there are tons of cast members new and old offering advice.

How ironic Chris, we move from Orlando to Charlotte, meet you, and you move to Orlando three months later. We're going to miss you at Carowinds, but congratulations on moving to bigger and better things. Have fun in Orlando!

Hey, another CM! Congrats on the coushy Entertainment role, as opposed to a REAL role (this coming from a CP Campus Rep, where we only really work 3 months a year ). All kidding aside though, you'll either love it or hate it, and since you've put in time at Carowinds and haven't gone insane yet, chances are you'll love WDW.

Remember that the 3:00 parade ends right before the 4:00 thunderstorm and you'll be fine. And when the natives are bundled up like they're treking to the North Pole, then it's 50 degrees out.

Chris Top Gun will never be the same again.

When I make it back down to Orlando I'll have to come harrass you.

Hope you enjoy the Orlando heat! Good luck.

Welcome to Disney World. If you ever go to Splash Mountian and see a cast member by the name of Dennis. That is me. Just remind me that you are a poster on ThrillNetwork.

Feel free to come by and if I am working as a ride op, say hi.

WDW College Program pays $6.40/hr. for all jobs except quick service food & beverage. QSFB pays $6.90/hr. in the college program.

Hourly cast member pay varies depending on position and status (seasonal, temporary, part-time, full-time).

Professional Internships/Management Internships pay about $600/wk. or roughly $31,000/yr.

Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure just increased their starting base wage to $7.25/hr. base for all status categories (full-time, part-time, and seasonal) and $7.50/hr. if you have 2+ years of experience in related employment.
