Congrats on the new job. We just moved down to FL and my DH was very tempted this past weekend. WDW had a job fair and is hiring. DH would love to drive a bus for WDW. Says you see happy people all day... how bad could that be... if it only paid the bills ;-)

Re: New Cast Member

Congratulations! I was wondering how your interview went. I am so happy for you! Please, explain your job to us so we can know exactly what you will be doing.

Well, I'm not moving to Florida any time soon, but I AM moving to California next week and applying at Disneyland! With any luck, I will end up being the DC Disneyland Insider pretty soon.

Hey Cheryl, I didn't know you worked at the Disney Store! Maybe I missed that. How long have you been working there?

Ah I hear that comment all day long, driving a bus is a very intense job especially in disney with a full load of passengers tourists cutting you off, passengers asking you questions while you are trying to deal with everything going on on the road, not to mention keeping an eye on all the guages and lights, then haveing to know the laws about what can be done and can;t be done. also have fun trying to tell a guest they need to fold there stroller before boarding 90% will be no problem but you get that one passenger that doesn't want to. then you need to know how to strap in a wheelchair passenger correctly, while you have hoards of guest outside waiting to get on the bus. and thats not event scratching the surface of what a typical bus driver will go through in a day. just think about that the next time you get on a disney bus with a driver pay starting at $8.00 an hour, I've said it before I wouldn't drive a bus for that pay. to stressful of a job for me.


I'm not trying to start a argument or anything just pointing out what a bus driver goes through, its not a simple job and alot of people come in thinking it is and thats why the turnover rate for most bus companies is around 50% in the first 90 days.


To the oringal poster welcome to Orlando you will love it here good luck at disney.

Re: New Cast Member

I am SO sorry for taking so long to reply to anyone on this.

First, thanks for your warm wishes and support for this new role of mine. People at my current company in Atlanta just look at me a little odd when I say that I'm leaving my job to move to FL and work at Disney. Theirs is a look comparable to a dog tilting its head and gets that confused look. Then, there's a statement of relative jealousy and wondering if they can supply their resume to me.

I will be working in payroll shared services helping to run payroll for 100,000 cast members/employees across the country including WDW, DLR, ESPN, ABC, the Stores, etc. I'll also be working on some process improvements since I have 7 years experience with the HR/payroll software that Disney uses.

I'm still in a relative state of shock. The interview process was long, a phone screen, and then 2 on-site interviews spaced a month apart. The process can take some time; I started back in early March with my phone screen.

Again, I still can't believe that I'll be working where I've wanted to since I was a kid (I used to draw and paint a lot and said I wanted to be an animator for Disney when I grew up). Well, not so much an animator, but I am excited about the fact that I'll be at the place where I want to be. The most difficult thing is getting my house sold here and getting everything shipped to Orlando and a place to stay. I think I'm flying down this weekend for an apartment search, but I need to get in touch with the relocation department to confirm.

Again...thanks to all for warm wishes. I'll keep people posted if they want to hear more.

Thanks!
Eric
