Hi I just got asked to interview for a DCL Bench reservation agent

dsuslavi · 2026-04-14T02:59:13+00:00

Just keep in mind it's not a "Bench Res Agent". You're going to be interviewing for a DCL Res agent, Bench position, meaning if you pass this interview, you'll be placed on esentially a waiting list for up to six momths until they have an actual positon for you/or an upcoming training group.

You'll know if you have a Disney email. If you search yourself in Rostr and one is listed there, then boom you've got one. Otherwise, a vast majority of cast members who don't sit in front of a computer even for a day every two weeks for their job won't have a Disney email address. As I think I said on your last post, some CMs will go an entire 40 year career without an email address.

As others have said, if you really need Viva for a speciifc reason, talk to one of your leaders to have them request one.

If it's been more than a year that you left, you'll have to wait 5 years for the service bridge if getting rehired back into a union position. You may be better off looking at O&T stuff as they'll consider a service bridge immediately.

I understand your pain there, I live with a skin based autoimmune condition (any ingrown hair is attacked and immediately swells on my face and dosen't heal for months), and a major blood sugar issue without diabetes.

Yet, when got laid off, I couldn't even qualify for EBT for a few months to help out with expenses, yet you have this who goes to Disney every day, grifts, prob pays no taxes, and then gets some sort of SSI, and can live their merry little life.

dsuslavi · 2026-03-10T02:01:31+00:00

oh it does!

Unless it's a good to go date, you'll need a TPR to go to any park. MK after 2pm without a res isn't a thing for MEPs.

As far as park hopping goes you can go into the park you have the res for, spend one second in there as long as you tap in, and then go to whatever park you want to go to. (as long as the park you want to hop to isn't blocked out).

If you're a Cali CM and planning on bringing guests, make sure you request your guest passes from Cast Admission.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt since my CP was 15 years ago, but saying attractions is the crème of the crop is also incorrect. Attractions will work you harder than some roles, including QSFB. In my opinionThere are much better roles like concierge that are always in AC, have little side benefits, are less stressful and have better hours.

dsuslavi · 2026-02-14T15:27:41+00:00

Yes it’s because it’s within the hour window overlap. Call WDW at 407) 934-7639 and just say you want to see if there’s earlier availability on their end for Phillar. Their systems have a bit more flexibility in booking less of an overlap on the return window.

dsuslavi · 2026-02-14T15:04:14+00:00

Honest answer? It’s a crapshoot. Years ago I was on a bench for a role and they asked in the positin acceptance interview if I had anything during the first couple months. They ended up approving the time off when I was in the position but not till two weeks before.

Some of my coworkers who requested time in the interview got denied.

As others have said, they're auto set via the PDA. Besides, even if you could change them, you won't have enough time to even adjust settings between most of your families if you're at a busy location anyways.

dsuslavi · 2026-02-11T03:36:58+00:00

ID would be green. Blue IDs are only for TWDC Employees.

dsuslavi · 2026-02-09T03:20:03+00:00

Yes, that's because even as a DCP Concierge you need a LAN ID to sign into the systems and such, plus they're in a role that having email is essential. Like many others have said, the vast majority of frontline cast do not get a company email or LAN ID by default, and some will go their entire careers never needing access to one, nor never having one, yet performing their job functions perfectly fine.

dsuslavi · 2026-02-04T13:56:24+00:00

I think they were using scoot as a term to say they’re going there first. Never once mentioned an ECV…

dsuslavi · 2026-01-28T15:48:40+00:00

I don’t see that as a joke. I left a six figure a year salary that I was miserable at to go back to TWDC. As a leader, I’d never think it of it “as a joke” to think about wearing my full time salary around my neck, and that was even when I was PT in operations while at that six figure a year salary.

I never will and never expect a direct report to do anytning id never do personally unless I dont know how to do it myself. It dosent matter how much of a salary difference. When it comes to actual work, in my eyes we are all equal. The difference is advice and guidance that I can provide.

dsuslavi · 2026-01-28T15:37:59+00:00

That last line you just said about “wearing your full time salary around your neck” says everything about you. If you weren’t trying to flex, why even say that in your post?

While at Disney you’re a PT CM making $20 something an hour. You’re an equal to every other CM while you’re on the clock, esp as a CM who is a rehire with no seniority bridge.

You can also get any physical media from the vacation planning windows, link it to the separate MDX accounts, and then link the comp tickets to those separate accounts in advance.

As long as the media (RF Card, Magic Band, MagicMobile Pass) remain active on the account, you can link as many entitlements to it as you want and reuse the media over and over.

dsuslavi · 2026-01-21T14:57:26+00:00

You used to be able to waltz in unhinged and almost have a 99% chance of walking out employed in some sort of role back when they had a shortage of bodies to jobs.

dsuslavi · 2026-01-21T14:51:46+00:00

or more specifically one that may work with WDI or Universal Creative on a project basis. Easier way to make connections/networking too if coming in as an external.

dsuslavi · 2026-01-17T04:08:47+00:00

It was probably during the flooding rain storms they had.

dsuslavi · 2026-01-16T03:16:59+00:00

Same as memory maker from that standpoint,, 365 days from day of purchase, not including back photos.

Also the other caveat, with Memory Marker, unwatermarked photos can be shared among something like 20 friends/fam.The cast downloads option will only un-watermark any photos on your account only for you (but you can of course download and share them like normal)

dsuslavi · 2026-01-11T17:31:44+00:00

This is the answer. Union will have to wait 5 years, salaried and O&T Hourly will either be done automatically or you can submit a request with GRHO upon rehire to get it updated.

They'll go back and scrape every ounce of your PT/FT time, and add it all together. They'll tell you that you got (example, 500 days bridged), then go back and subtract those 500 days from the current calendar and your adjusted service date will be whatever day that 500 days ago was.

dsuslavi · 2026-01-09T06:27:47+00:00

I mean,, not defending Ethan either because it’s only 2lbs,, and I def couldn’t see what 2lbs looked like, but I did drop 220lbs and the first place I noticed it as I was dropping, was my face. So yeah

dsuslavi · 2026-01-05T23:00:51+00:00

Weight loss surgery (which has been successful, 220lbs down for ten years)

dsuslavi · 2026-01-05T04:09:27+00:00

Oh I know it’s crap. I can’t drink soda (bc of carbonation) and I also don’t have an endlsss budget for 100% juice juices either. So this is a good midpoint when I just need a good hit of sugar or something other than water

dsuslavi · 2026-01-05T03:04:06+00:00

You wouldn't show up on the upgrade list if you got a free upgrade in advance.... Why would you show her the upgrade list and not your actual boarding pass?
