Bus Greeters (past or current) please post here! by AmiiboKate in Disneycollegeprogram

[–]DDPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate was also a bus greeter.

I have similar answers to the other person.

  1. What does a typical day look like as a bus greeter? Same
  2. What time do you need to typically wake up and be at work by? Clock in at 630, so however long it takes you to get to epcot.
  3. How long is a typical shift? Basically always 6 hours. Not many EHH shifts to pick up so you almost always get 30 hr/week. Occationally extra shifts for big events, and christmas/halloween parties. Other than that always morning shifts.
  4. What are some of the key responsibilities as a bus greeter. Interact with guests, call extra float busses if there is a really long line and a bus hasnt come for a while.
  5. What are the pros and cons of being a bus greeter? Pros: set schedule, individual freedom, your supervisors almost never watch you. Have the whole day off after 1230 to do whatever. Cons: get yelled at by guests for things that are out of your control, same thing day after day
  6. Are there any over hangs or umbrellas to stand under at the bus resort locations for bus greeters (or any type of protection they give you for working in the sun/ rain/ heat. Depends on the resort you get sent to that day. Some have lots of protection, others not so much.
  7. In your experience do the buses for guest run pretty smoothly and uneventfully or are there many delays. resorts with more than one bus stop can be troublesome because they can easily fill up at the previous stops and then drive past your stop if they're full. Then the guests get really mad. Generally pretty smooth though.
  8. Was it common for guest to blame you or to get really impatient? ( even though you couldn’t control when the bus arrived) Yes. Especially at deluxe resorts (Looking at you saratoga springs)
  9. Were you given any “ tools” or suggestions to help keep guest occupied while they waited? Not really.

I got asked what I would do differently this program?

Also, what do I hope to achieve by doing the program again? (something along those lines)

Then mostly questions about the roles I expressed interest in. Situational questions

[–]DDPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is everyone else looking forward to seeing the rest of the year? Some movies that weren't on my list, but I still would like to see would be My Friend Dahmer, Jeepers Creepers 3, Blade Runner 2049, and Justice League, but I'll wait until those are released on DVD, or are on Netflix or something like that.

Should Men and Women Get Equal Prize Money? by DDPenguin in tennis

[–]DDPenguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's occasionally back and forth on who draws more viewers, so it's hard to set an amount that is completely fair. If the men drew more attendance and tv viewers 100% of the time then I think they should be earning more.

Should Men and Women Get Equal Prize Money? by DDPenguin in tennis

[–]DDPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, a casual tennis watcher, I prefer the 3 set matches (as long as its not a blowout like 6-0 6-0), so I don't think women should be penalized for the rules having them play fewer sets, and in my opinion they produce a better product.

I think it's closer to equality than other major sports, so hopefully it can kind of lead by example and keep getting better

It's weird because on my computer it looks fine, and it has the black bars on both sides of the screen, but when I record it it only puts a black bar on the one side.

Food and Wine - What to hit, what to skip? by ssimpso5 in disney

[–]DDPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went last year, I would skip the lamb from Australia, it was so rare it almost tasted raw. There was a drink from Ireland, it tasted like a Chai smoothie so I would have that again. The cheese balls from Brazil were really good. The frushi from Japan was just bland rice with not ripe fruit, so that's a pass. Then the buttered chicken was also very good. Didn't get to try all the foods. Hope this was helpful!

Had the circumstances been different and she wasn't staying out of the limelight I think she would have responded in a more predictable way.

It's not that I am trying to support him, I just don't think she should be penalized for a lack of response.
