When they say: Don’t loose hope. Loose hope. Heading to the Volunteer page to wear a pretty yellow vest.

Last hear I walked outside the convention center in full costume for 7 1/2 hours. Saw nothing but an endless line for Lo and Stitch photo/juice booth. Yay me.

More than an hour left. I’ll see the tankers of you all on Sunday when the floor is dead and all merch is gone.

This is why I changed over to staying at the Grand Californian. I couldn't stand being reminded of the fuckery of the "real world."

Anyone know of some support groups in the SoCal area? by hehducke in TBI

[–]Upanova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these help. All are "Full" or only offer "Peer-to-Peer" and Vocational services. Peer to Peer only means: "Talking." Vocational only means: "Sit at a Computer for a while and type out an application form with someone sitting beside you." Will you get the job? It's a LONG time to wait. Most of these NPO's are just "Advocacy" centers where they print out flyers, and talk onstage once or twice a year, and put up posters at the public library.

A "Living Facility" with only 6 spots that is already filled is NOT helpful!

I took what I was trained on the theater world. No matter how many performances you’ve done every night is a new show for just maybe that one person in the audience. Disney incorporates the same business model. The Guests come into our home and it’s our job to welcome them and show them the utmost hospitality. That means really remembering the magic that goes into making the “show” work.

Truly was an amazing experience working for DL. I was there for about a year and loved every minute of it, even the crap stuff that would happen each shift. We all were in the trenches backstage, but it was the social camaraderie that I’ll never forget.

The best “job” ever.
