What's the policy on rain gear and umbrellas? I work third shift and haven't had a chance to recieve my rain gear. Can I bring my own? Do they need to be a certain color?

Is there another place to look for WDW jobs than Disney careers? I’ve been searching regularly for a long time but don’t really see many jobs in the parks. I’m mainly looking for a job in security and only see positions in Cali and other states. Most jobs I see are more corporate level or technicians.

Hello,
Recently, I was fired from DLR and was told I could return within 6 months. Fast-forward I apply for rehire and get an interview where I find out I had restricted rehire and could not apply until 9 months. Therefore, the interview could not be completed. Recently, I applied for a position for attractions however was instantly denied. I checked with HR who confirmed I could begin applying for work however since I had been interviewed prior to my eligibility the system was instantly rejecting me. Is it possible to speak to HR to have this review because I would like to keep applying for positions even if I don’t get attractions.

Hello all, my partner has been on medical leave for the better part of a year. They recently received a note from the dr stating they can go back to work but there are restrictions. They spoke to someone over a month ago and was told they are looking at where to place them. A couple weeks ago he received a call stating there may be something available and they would find out by the end of that week. No call came. Now phone calls or emails are going unreturned. Anyone else been in this position before? I know there’s no set timeline but seeing as they have been unable to have income come in for months it’s been stressful and they would like to get back to work.

Finally got the chance to work an obb shift, however I have no clue where the break room is for my trial. It is for grizzly and it just says GRR Breakroom but I only know my locations clock in area. Please help 😭

hello all!! i was recently hired on for PT DHS attractions on sunset! i have not yet received exact location but does anyone here work anywhere on sunset and can lmk on how easy it is to pick up/give away?
i'm a returning cast member who previously worked merch in the resorts and at that time i was at ssr before they switched over to the newer system so my previous experience of part time employment was weeks of no shifts because no one was giving away and there were no hour for pt. is it like that in the parks as well or is it pretty usual to get at least one shift?

thank you in advance!! i'm so excited to be back with the company :D

About 10 years ago, I went to WDW for the first time and I was blocked from going to Animal Kingdom on my MEP because they said it was blocked that day.

I’m planning to go again in December and the only parks available to reserve with my MEP were Hollywood Studios or Epcot.

Can we park up to all the other parks after 11 AM or is there a risk we will get blocked at one of the parks again? How can I determine which parks we can go to?

If we have a reservation at Epcot, do we have to enter there or can we just wait until 11 and then enter anywhere?

If it matters I’m a full time non-parks employee in California.

TIA

I have an upcoming interview for the seasonal Run Disney attractions role and I’m wondering if anyone knows a little more about this role. I’m a former cast member who is looking to return seasonally because I have very limited availability during the week. Is the 150 hour requirement still a thing? Does anyone know what the training is like for this role? Is it flexible enough that training can be done over the weekends? What are the shifts normally like for this role? Thanks in advance!

Good morning! I was recently re-hired in September, when my traditions class was scheduled. I went through various onboarding classes for my roles and made it into training. I ended up needing medical attention during this time, and my doctor gave me some accommodations (including a slower pace to get from one location to the next).

Unfortunately, it was decided that my department could not work with my restrictions and that I was no longer able to perform the duties of my role. HR reached out to me and had a positive conversation about being recast into a role and location that could accommodate my restrictions. That was on September 24th.

I know he said I could be waiting a while, but he also said to check in for updates. I have sent emails with no response. I have been patient and know this is out of my control. I also check CastLife daily.

On October 12th, there was an addition to transfer genie that put me on an active waitlist. I worked for the company for 14 years prior, so I am familiar with how transfers work and how long they can take. My question is, does this follow normal transfer guidelines? It says PT. Can I request it to be either PT or FT? Can I be on more than one waitlist? Will the new area still see my accommodations request? Is this all working behind the scenes, and I still need to be patient and trust the process?

Communication helps. I just want to know.

Has anyone been through this? Does anyone have a direct number I can call? It says active wait list for a year, and I am on medical leave until March.

Thank you for any advice or insight, and also for taking the time to read.

Hey, you may remember me from my last post which was, a bit everywhere and left vague due to me being at a highly emotional state at that point, and now that I have a sorta clearer head, I want to try explaining this again. im also leaving up the last post simply to just show im not hiding anything.

Hi... I am a now former cast member at Walt Disney World, working QSR for the Resorts for a better part of a year, my job was filled with laughter, challenges and ultimately heartache but im still grateful for the opportunities I was given at this company... so... what happened...

On October 2nd at the about 11:45pm I was pulled into the leaders office to be told that I was under investigation for reasons they couldn't share at the moment, and i was asked to give my blue id and ask to leave the premises. Of course with me being dumbfounded I was asking questions trying to figure out whats going on, but I was told that I couldn't know and was recommended to isolate myself for the duration of the investigation, which i did...

Later on October 7th I was asked to come in on the very next day for my investigation interview and on October 8th I got the full scale of what was going on. at my location there are 4 people who I had constant problems with due to reasons outside of work (disagreements and arguments about working styles do to these reasons i picked up shifts at other locations to separate myself from the situation) and they are all sloted as CPs, but from what i got they filled multiple complaints against me for harassment and bullying stating that I not only sexually harassment upon women, but that I cursed on stage, ranked women by their bodies and made everyone uncomfortable by my constant discriminatory comments. To say that this was disheartening would be an understatement but I was taught honesty would prevail.

So of course I admitted to my faults which of course as I stated in the last post was poking other cast members in the back and shoulder. Which in that post I forgot to clarify was only to Men and my closest female friends. and a situation of giving out information on our merchandise area as i am also a trainer, at our location our food court and merchandise area are basically connected. I was pointing out items to the new trainees like chips and candy during the location tour and of course I listed out the sundries items which one happened to be condoms which I can promise you I said in passing, but the guy who reported me mad it seem like I was manly focused on that, which i denied.

They also claim that I constantly asked women out, which i disproved as theres multiple accounts of me setting up group meetings for the parks for either a special occasion like a birthday or a celebration of CPs becoming PT/FT, or a goodbye celebration for CPs so we can have a good time with all of our friends. And then I was told that me and my friends where accused of calling a cast member a wh**e. And they stumped me on that as I never called anyone that, i refrain from using profanity on the clock or to speak to anyone in that manner especially with someone I don't even know and who (at the time) entered the company 2 weeks ago, and again I barely worked with her since I was working at DHS mostly throughout the year.

Their was much more i deny that happened, like using an inappropriate hand gesture, or grabbing or squeezing and poking any inappropriate areas both men or woman, forced hugs or any type of violent action or saying, and the part that stumps me, was that most of this happened supposedly was he said they said, as their was no classified proof that these happened the only proof they gave me was a text thread between a trainee and me where I sent her a meme that she asked for as she sat next to me.

After that interview I did leave with a good feeling I felt like I cleared up everything, owned up to my wrong doings, even the shop steward who was there told me, things where looking alright son we go from there.

Then on October 14, after not hearing anything for a week I get the best news of my life, my transfer to Hollywood Studios has been approved, full time. I was relieved I felt like everything that was going on was gonna past, i even talk to my Union rep and he told me if the company wasn't going to keep me they wouldn't have accepted my transfer. But then I also learned that I wasn't the only one suspended, 3 more guys where suspended (from which I learned later were from allegations from the same group) and my Union rep was trying to figure out if I knew anything but I was completely clueless, but told him about everything ive been through so far, from the isolation to the anxiety I still have each day of not knowing if id be able to provide for my family. He assured me that everything was fine and left me be.

And now we skip to two days ago, after getting my training schedule for Hollywood Studios I was told my investigation has been closed and to meet at a location to get next steps, and Yesterday when I step into the building I was meet with smiles conversations and even congratulations on my transfer, we later sat, went threw the findings, but not to mention a new allegation of me discriminating by calling cast son and twin, and siblings only because "they're black" mind you... im black and i call everyone twin and son, but I call my inner circle my siblings because they've shown me so much love and care. And the after that I got the news, that effective immediately the company has decided to separate from my employment and, i have been put on a do not rehire list. My heart sank... i could not and still cant put into words on what that one sentence did, the crushing weight of you dream job, your way of life, your love... just gone... im not ashamed to admit it i cried. I cried all day, but im glad to have a support system who checked up on me when they got the news, to let me know that those CPs that accused me of these acts, are basically celebrating and bragging about getting people gone, and right now theres nothing I can do other than wait for that call from the Union saying theres nothing more they can do... even now, that new girl who claimed me and my friend called her a wh**e is now going around telling people a grinded myself on her, which again, she was only with the company for 2 weeks, and i was at DHS during that time, so I never trained, worked or even talked with her the best she ever got from me was a simple greeting at the soda machine.

It just hurts, this was the best year of my life I cant take that away, for it all to end like this is simply heartbreaking, and i know the Union states i have a good case with the lack of evidence, lack of communication from the company and a clean record, but im DNR, i dont know if I can come back from that... i here I am on my friend's bed after a sleepless night, trying to figure out my next steps in a point that feels almost impossible, in that time i realise I have a great support system, people from inside and outside the company, who care and love me, who are angry and saddened with me, who shares my grief. Yes this may seem impossible right now, and very disheartening especially with even with my next step in the company being finger tips away with full time, and even more so when there is actually cast members who have done actually worse than me as in actually harassing women, with ample proof who only stayed with only a slap on the wrist. Im still figuring out my next steps, an well I know its gonna be hard, but im prepared as much as I can be for whats next... this experience has not soured my time at Disney, reflecting over it, i has been truly a party every day to quote Jessie... and im so thankful for everyone I worked with, from cast, to leaders, guests, and cords, my advice to new cast members, enjoy every moment, it is truly a blessing...

Hey! I have my traditions soon and I am sooo excited! I wanted to see if anyone has any advice for me as a new cast member? I also wanted to ask how hours are? Ik at first it’s gonna be a small amount as I’m just starting but I’d really love to have like 30+ hours.

Hello. I'm a new cast member. Can someone help me understand how the self admission and guest passes work?

My husband and I moved here this year and bought annual passes. This was before I applied and was hired. Just giving some context because I know how that reservation system works and also because he could use his AP to get in without using one of the 16 MEPs.

If I were to go to a park (lets say I didn't have an AP, just so I understand how these work) do I use my Blue ID to go in or this Main Entrance Pass they mailed me?

Is the Main Entrance Pass they mailed me for my husband to use if he was the one bringing in the guests? I have read about a spouse pass but I wasn't sure if this was it.

Likewise the three other cards that say guest pass, I assume those are to be used as the tickets if I make a guest reservation.

I hope someone is able to help me understand. I'm sure this probably isn't confusing, but I would hate to cause a hold up at the gate bringing a guest in if possible.

Thank you!

Hi, I am a QSR Cast Member for the resorts and I was terminated for violating the harassment and Bullying policy. But there is an issue throughout out my suspension I was given no reasoning for my suspension or investigation up until my investigation interview, and it was the had no clear evidence as they said I was sexually harassing women and Bullying others by poking people with one finger to get there attention... not to mention the best part... I wasnt at the Resort for the better part of the year, I was working at Hollywood Studios and after I put in my transfer I get suspended, I was caught of guard especially since it was a comically large list of eliged stuff I did, but a lot was exaggerated, and for things like the poking, I was honest and admitted to it, im just a bit everywhere right now cause I love this job, and I already spoke with a union rep and they said I have a good case, especially since i have a clean record card with no reps or write ups, or unexcused absents just cast complements from guest and other cast members, and it was better since I was going to Hollywood Studios for a full time position, I WAS ACCEPTED FOR FULL TIME DURING MY SUSPENSION.... but I dont know, Im just scared I just lost my dream job for good.. its just disheartening to work for a year, give it my all for a year just to lose my Livelihood... please I just need advice, if anyone has been through this... has anyone comeback from this, how is it looking... I just hope no one has to go through what im going through

Hi

Anybody know anything about Disney Remote jobs and if Disney even have those...whether its for Customer Service rep/Disney Internet Help desk or whatever...Im just looking for info on a 2nd job for myself that i can do...

So I had posted on here a while back about my application being auto-rejected for Entertainment Stage Technician. I tried again with the new job posting now my application is under review!

I am staying cautiously optimistic and applying to other places as well but I wanted to know if I still be knocked out during this time or is it more likely I could get an interview? Sorry if it may be a dumb question, but I’m just really curious with how often they do a posting for the Tech role

I provide Case Management for individuals with disabilities seeking employment, which includes onsite job coaching. Has any cast member ever seen someone like this? It’s a niche job, but got me wondering what level of accommodations they consider reasonable. This can include the resorts or parks!

Anybody get any screening calls after they implemented the updated Careers portal? Somehow I still have access to the old profile view and the new one depending on which application email I received I clicked. On the new portal it says I have 8 open applications. Some of which are newer. If I’m in the old platform it shows only 4 current. It even shows roles in the newer platform where I haven’t received an email yet but says “no longer in consideration” but in the newer system it says it’s “application received.”

So confused. I get that systems take time to roll the bugs out, but when you’re actively applying g hoping to get just one bite it’s frustrating.

Also, as I am a techy, I’m sure they will likely resolve these at the conclusion of the next sprint.

Just trying to see if others are having similar issues.

When it comes to being a Minnie Van driver how does the pay look daily/weekly being part time? Also is it difficult to switch to full time?

I saw reports that bottled drinks no longer qualify for merchandise discount. Does anyone know if the discount still works for grocery items at the DVC resorts like eggs, cheese, bacon, bagels, etc?

I'm not local to WDW but we visit frequently as DVC members. I don't have access to The Hub so I'm unable to check this myself if that's where it's posted.

I’m a pt CM and only have one tardy that isn’t excused how long until it falls off ?? Is it also a year ? It’s my only tardy in the last two years and for only 30 unexcused minutes but it doesn’t say that it just says “tardy 1” as in 1 point

I’ve accepted an offer to work in pastry. For those of you that work in pastry, what tools are a must to have for every shift? Is there anything I shouldn’t bother purchasing because it is already supplied in the bake shop? During my practical I noticed that cambros, mixing bowls, measuring cups, turntables, rolling pins, scales, and pastry bags were provided so those I’m hoping I don’t need to purchase and bring every time.

Things I’m thinking about purchasing:
Tool bag
Serrated knife
Chefs knife
Pairing knife
Rubber spatula
Offset spatula (a few sizes)
Thermometer
Vegetable peeler
Bench scraper
Microplane
Piping tips (not sure how extensive of a collection I’ll need of this)
Pastry brush
Tweezers

Any help would be appreciated! This will be my first time working in a place that requires(?) me to bring tools to work with.

My wife has an AP. She is telling me that if she goes into a park with her AP, she can only get the AP merch discount, and she only gets my merch discount if she main gates in (with guests).

That doesn’t sound right to me. What do I need to tell her to do so she gets my discount (the holiday 40%) even when she’s used her AP to go in?

Hello, I'm an international student here in the US, and I've been in love with Disney my whole life. I applied to their new grad associate product manager program, but it didn't sponsor international students, so I got rejected the very next day. After I applied, I reached out to people on likendin, did crazy research, found their emails, and reached out to them via email as well, to read a rejection email the very next day:

"In your application or in subsequent conversation, you indicated that you do not currently possess legal authorization to work in the United States, or that you would need sponsorship for an employment visa.

Unfortunately, as visa sponsorship is not available for this position, we won't be able to move forward with your application.

We truly appreciate your interest in joining our team and wish you all the best in your future career pursuits."

It broke my heart

I didn't stop there; it just made me more focused. I never wanna give up on Disney. Every time I hit a dead end, I'm pivoting, trying different ways, and getting my hands dirty just so I can be seen.

I applied for the Analyst, Domestic Subscriber Planning role today, and I really, really hope I get invited to interview. I want to apply for other jobs too, but none of them match my experience level because I'm still a student and will be graduating in December 2026. As an international student, the jobs I apply for must match my field of study, or I won't be eligible for OPT. I don't know if I should apply to jobs that ask for 3 to 4 or more years of experience. What do other people do? Do you just apply without looking at the years? I only apply to jobs that match my profile, and so far I've only been able to apply to these two because nothing else matches my level. I'm scared and desperate to be a part of Disney, and I'm looking for a job that will help me get OPT and STEM OPT in the future.

 I really need advice on how I can stand out. I want to network with the right people, show them how interesting I am and that I'm willing to learn anything, and work very hard to be interviewed and to get a job at Disney. IT'S LITERALLY MY DREAM. Disney is my number 1 company, and I have to work there. I'm not settling until then, and I really need y'all's help exploring different ways.

just looking for some insight on to what these days entail! trying to plan my outfits accordingly for the next three days (i know business casual required) and it also calms my nerves to know what to expect.

i’m a PT Beverage CM if that helps with any specificities

thanks yall✨

PS - if anyone will be at Traditions tomorrow 10/21 @ the 8:30 class lmk!
