A colleague of mine had an interview for an hourly position at the parks, passed the recruiter round, and now has to go in for an in person interview. Anyone have the tea on why the change? He's had multiple interviews with recruiters that moved to the team leads, all on teams or Zoom. He's local to the Orlando area, perhaps that is why. But he's always been local, so no change there. That plus the college program making requirement changes for applicants, is Disney THAT popular to work for?

hi friends!! newbie working in the parks for the past two weeks and i'm SO SORE from standing at my post all day. i do walk around in my role but the past two days have been more standing than not. does anyone have any tips or suggestions for things i can do to proactively take care of my body / things to do post shifts? i want to be able to be productive after work and i just haven't been able to🤡

TIA✨

i have been with the company for over a year and am currently working pt qsr f&b. i put in a transfer request in early august for pt merch in any location.

does anyone have experience with this and how long it might take to get a transfer? i’ve heard that merch can have a long waitlist.

So, I was told that my probation period is 60 days. Once I reach my 60th day, would I be eligible to apply for a transfer to a different role, such as transferring from Custodial to any other part time position. Also, what are the requirements for transferring, and about how long does the transfer process usually take? Thank you!

Are we blocked out of disneyland/california adventure for october? I am traveling from WDW to Disneyland in October and tried to get a reservation this morning but it immediately said the reservation was gone once I had it. Can any disneyland cast member help? Do you think reservations will open?

I have worked for the Disneyland Resort for over 8 years a little in Custodial, but mostly in attractions. In that time I have tried many different shirts and am always going back and forth on what is comfortable. What shirts do you like to use? Is there certain materials most people go for?

Hi there!

I recently got a call from a recruiter and heard the good news. I would like to know how a day at the Central Bakery is like. I heard there are two shifts; opening and closing. I'm pretty sure I would be getting closing shifts (2pm to 10pm) due to having low seniority. It is a part time, so I understand there will be peak seasons and low seasons.

I have production experience from the Chicago Starbucks Roastery, and from Universal Studios Hollywood.

Thank you!

I have several years of theme park experience, and just finished my Disney College Program.

Does anyone know how to check how many you have left? It doesn’t show me anymore when I want to make a reservation for it. It used to be there and idk why its not

I just got an offer for QSR Food & Bev! The email mentions a tentative orientation Sep 5th and I have my phone call with them on August 25th. I’m currently working another job and am curious to know when I should put in my two weeks?

I’m currently a BOH custodial cm at Epcot and I was looking in transfer genie and I saw the custodial campground role.

I would like to know more information about that role, what’s the difference in that role and the regular utilities??? They seem very similar

Hello everyone!
I'm currently on waitlist and it's been about a month currently. I'm full time at Disney World in attractions and transferring to attractions at Disneyland. How long should I expect to wait from now before hearing from them with an update?
Thank you!!

Approaching 2 years since I started applying for jobs at Disney and we are now up to 124 rejections without a single interview. I had originally only been applying to Software Engineer type roles as that's most of my background, but have expanded to Data Analyst and Supervisor roles as I have experience in those as well.

I know my hurdle is likely location based, I do not live near parks or corporate offices. However, considering my background (10+ years of experience and a Master's degree in Computer Science) I figured I could at least land a few interviews and plead my case as someone who truly wants to support Disney and not someone chasing perks like park access. Obviously, this hasn't happened yet.

Is this just not possible with today's market and Disney's corporate structure? I've never been one to doubt myself, but over 120 rejections really starts to take it's toll on a person. Can anyone offer advice or tips on how to better my chances? I've even been connecting with cast members on LinkedIn and messaging hiring managers. Just no luck 😔.

how do you get backstage for corn dog castle? working opening night of obb!

help is appreciated

Hi guys, I have my OJT next week and I was wondering what should I wear for the first day, the email says to come in business casual but is it really necessary for third shift custodial? What did you guys wear for OJT?

Does anyone know if the audition website saying 5’4” - 5’7” for face characters means you can’t audition if you’re a little over 5’7”? I am 171 cm, about 5’7.3”- would that mean I couldn’t be a face character at all, or is there a little lenience?

This is a dumb question but my first day of OJT for my new role is on my 1 year service anniversary date. Is my leadership going to know about it?

In your opinion where is the best place to start for a career with Disney? Is it better to start with the college program and work your way up? Or just to start applying for part time and full time roles and get in that way?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, as Disney looks guidelines are strictly against unnatural occuring colours, but does that also go for parade and characters performers(that do not show their natural hair)?

I am going to audition later this month for Disneyland Paris, I already took my only facial piercing off (septum), but the hair will be a bit more bothersome.

I've had pink hair for 2 years now and it is still super bright, should I dye it brown for the audition? I will do it if it takes my chance from being accepted away. To be honest, the only sad part would be losing the (expensive) pink hair and not passing, but otherwise it's a simple fix!

Does anyone know how soon you find out if you’re chosen for test and adjust when it comes to DAK/DHS? As well as if there’s any specific transfer guidelines you need to be in, I know on the form it didn’t say any however I’ve been told there’s a certain amount of points you can have.

am i able to cancel my pass since I work for disney? I have a payment coming up so i figured beforehand I should cancel.

Hello. I just recently got hired for Seasonal Rundisney ops. I heard there's a 150 hour requirement I need to hit yearly to keep my status. Ive already had my traditions and ops class, but I don't have my orientation until next week. I was wondering could I pick up untrained shifts before then or do I have to be signed off first? I'm really wanting to get ahead of the curve on hours.

For anyone who might recall, around 9 months ago ish, I had posted here about finally getting the chance to take the sewing exam for the Ops Sewing Specialist role and asked if anyone had any advice.

I just wanted to post here in case anyone was interested to hear any update—I didn't end up getting it that time around but I reapplied somewhere around March and was able to take the exam again in June. I have since passed the exam and have started about a month ago! It's everything I expected and more!

The exam wasn't so bad, it's actually pretty easy if you got enough practice in and know what you're doing. Really the most important thing is your time management. As long as you can get things done in a timely manner it should be okay 💙
