When you retire, which WDW job would you rather have? - Page 2

dznygrl · 03-31-2004

DARN IT, I really wish I could re-vote! I completely missed the "tour guide" option! :hmmm

Frankly, my family & friends say that I should be a WDW tour guide above all else. It's just so ME! :D

Oh well...

I would definately want to be a Fantasyland ride operator because character wasn't a choice. I would love to see each child thrilled on their favorite attractions...specially the first timers of all ages...that would be absolute magic!:)

Disnatic · 03-31-2004

Monorail driver sounds the funnest. And those uniforms ain't to shabby either.:p :D My second choice would be resort front desk but I'm only 15 so I got a long time to think about it.:D

bumble · 03-31-2004

I voted resort front desk. I would love that. I could research soooo many different things to share with the guests. If I became bored I would go to a different WDW resort and start with more research!!!:laugh

I wanna be an Imagineer!

MissLisa5730 · 04-01-2004

I want to work at the counter in the Bakery on Main Street -

I have this picture .. little grey haired Italian Granny selling sticky buns to the kids RIGHT when they get into the park - still happy and full of magic.

If you retire and go to work there .. can you live in Celebration? Cuz that would be the PERFECT finishing touch. (They DO do all the gardening and yardwork for you there ... right? :whistle: )

I said tour guide. I am a teacher and after having been to Disney for decades since Nov. 1971 when I was just 2 years old and watching it grow and change and following the history of the company, I would love to pass on that knowledge to others, just like I do every day in my job now as a teacher. I pass on knowledge and I teach history (and government). So, I would still get to enjoy three of my favorite things - Disney, history, and teaching.

I said other, I would just love to work in a gift shop or bakery, that way I would be in the air conditioning and in the heart of one of the parks!

PVHNat · 04-06-2004

I would love to be a tour guide!! I want to actually work Guest Relations, but that's who does the tours- so maybe it's a step in the right direction? PLUS- I have experience- I'm a tour guide for my school. Hire me now!

Jen · 10-05-2004

I would love to be one of the charater's "best friend"!

karliebug · 10-05-2004

I would like to be a waitress at my favorite show-The Hoop De Doo Revue! My kids always tease me that I would be the one who comes outside at the start of the show and yells "Come and git it!" LOL

**Dopey** · 10-05-2004

DougiesMommy, I am with you. My dh on the other hand said to me many years ago that he would even run around the park with the sweeper in his hand, picking up what didn't make it into the trashbins. He once, waiting for us to get of a ride, talked to some older gentleman who was doing just that, having a great time talking to all sorts of folks.
