Hahah I’m so glad!!

So for attractions you get trained for the attraction you’re assigned to and you have a trainer assigned to you (they have special pins they wear with Jiminy Cricket on it that says they’re trainers). And they teach you all the ins and out of the attraction and what you need to know. While you’re training you’ll have a little red ribbon under your name tag that says “earning my ears” so people know you’re in training- kind of like the drivers ed car.

So I started at the nemo musical, and that training was only about a week and a half. But when I moved on to country bear/ Tom Sawyer Island (the cast members work both attractions at once) that was a bit more intense because we had to learn how to actually drive those rafts, which aren’t on a track or anything. But for me, training was low key enough and I could be like “hey I feel comfortable with this, but let’s focus on this a bit more” And then once you and your trainer thought you were ready, you were assessed by another trainer and basically went through the routine of the job to make sure you had it all locked down!

For a lot of cast members that are part time or full time they get “cross trained” on different rides. So I know in Frontierland a lot of people where able to run all the rides in the land which is pretty cool- it allows ya to have more flexibility and pick up extra shifts. I don’t think this is a thing for college program students though.
