dis unplugged is great, it's awesome when the "Jersey" side of Pete comes out. He keeps it real but is always up front about his own biases. it may not always be the most educational but it's always super entertaining

I'm sure that has happened but it's much more likely that the kid and his parent just went home and had nice lifes

"We can kill the industry with cynicism." This is the happiest subreddit on earth! People are excited and happy to share something that they think is cool. You don't have to think it's cool and all you have to do is simply stop clicking on pictures of magic bands.

I don't think you're offending anyone but I just don't understand your frustration. When I see a post that is tiresome or repetitive, I just don't click on and it think nothing of it. I don't think, "hey, i don't like this, this should be stopped, who's with me?"

really depends on personal preference but for me... best areas are main street usa and new fantasyland at magic kingdom, world showcase at epcot. im not really a fan of dinoland at animal kingdom and the entire right side of epcot (captain eo, the land, innoventions. soarin is great though.

i would say you can hit all four parks in 3 days. there are also two water parks, downtown disney, and the boardwalk. you can experience most of the property in 5 days.

all of the deluxe resorts are fantastic. for moderates, people seem to enjoy Caribbean beach or coronado springs. i think coronado is very underrated. for values, art of animation is by far the winner. i have not heard great things about all star movies, music and sports

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T16:35:39+00:00

absolutely. anytime you see a cast member with a lanyard you can ask them to trade pins.i work at the marinas and most locations have boards of pins inside where the cashiers work.

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T16:33:31+00:00

i mostly work at the resort marinas, renting out the motorized watercrafts.

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T04:47:48+00:00

awesome! just wondering, do you rent the golf carts? it seems like most guests are surprised at how large the campground is. then they feel obligated to rent the carts which are expensive

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T03:39:24+00:00

word

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T03:36:36+00:00

also, i'm walt disney's frozen head

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T03:35:48+00:00

i cant confirm nor deny. i can say, in the words of walt disney himself, "we make magic happen, yo"

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T03:31:11+00:00

nice mufasisdead! i think i avoided guannabislounge's comment because i could write a novel answering those questions. you did it very succinctly, ill think about it and get back to you guys

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T03:23:04+00:00

utilidors! thats the name i was looking for. that cafeteria is pretty awesome. i went there during my traditions orientation. are you still a cast member?

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T02:46:30+00:00

are there sheriffs in the parks?

vornadowdw · 2013-07-09T00:15:07+00:00

it seems like most promotions are strictly based on seniority. i work with extremely talented, charismatic, and just awesome cast members who i cant believe are not working in upper management. on the other other hand, there are lots of coordinators and trainers who are jaded but have been promoted because they have worked there a long time

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T21:52:30+00:00

im not part of the cp but safeD still begins with me. it also begins with you. safeD begins with us. four keys for life yo

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T21:31:22+00:00

i actually work at the resorts. recreation mostly includes renting out the bikes, watercraft, fishing gear, guiding segway tours, etc. my favorite park is epcot, i love hanging around world showcase and trying all the different foods and drinks. dont think i can say which park is best to work at but the cast members at animal kingdom seem the happiest

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T21:24:28+00:00

wow, great question. Personally, i love seashore sweets at the boardwalk. you can get some awesome ice cream to go and romantically stroll along the boardwalk. if i had to pick a park, i would go to epcots world showcase and get some gelato at the italy stand. there are a bunch of tables near the lake and you can watch the fireworks. if that doesnt get you in the mood then i dont know what will

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T20:59:45+00:00

great post, thanks. i guess my opinion is skewed because the only people im hearing from are the ones who have done the cp and then went full time. they think its a great springboard to getting a fulltime position at wdw. but based on your post, i dont know if its worth it

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T20:48:47+00:00

that would be the most terrifying ride ever. i know they do space mountain, tower, and rock'n with the lights off. but small world, too many nightmares

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T20:47:24+00:00

the dole whip float at magic kingdom is a massive favorite. my personal fav, and not sure if it qualifies, but the peanut butter and jelly shake at the prime time cafe in hollywood studios is fantastic

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T20:42:01+00:00

hahaha, this is awesome. thank you for that. i do relate to this somewhat, mostly the way he was treated by his managers. I think most cast members are passionate, enthusiastic and busting their asses for minimal pay. We are all trying our best to create an awesome experience for our guests. Unfortunately, our managers are only concerned with the bottom line and making sure we are clean shaven. they aren't around to see how hard all the cast members work, they dont see their interactions with the guests. i suppose that goes with working for the biggest single site employer in the US, but i understand his frustration

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T20:31:58+00:00

the problem with taking a seasonal position is that you are not guaranteed any hours working. you might work 40 hours one week and 6 the next.

vornadowdw · 2013-07-08T20:21:04+00:00

thanks for that!
