i have seen a cast member swear at my older brother when he was nine years old for running towards the monorail at the polynesian . there is a gate there now . the cast member said sorry multiple times and said that if he swore at a guest and it was reported he would be fired. my mother and father told him not to worry ''we swear at him all the time''. it was never reported.

@@missJazz911 - A few years back my kids and I were riding Tower of Terror in Disneyland. As the ride was beginning, they put a stop to it. All courtesy, show and efficiency were gone. Turns out the couple directly behind my kids had completely slacked their seatbelts and got busted. I'm not sure how the ride operators picked up on that on a completely dark ride, but I was extremely grateful that their focus was on safety.

I also really loved that costuming was on site, so you came in street clothes, had them hand you your costume, changed, worked your shift, changed back, turned in your costume and left. It helped with the mental switch of being on stage versus being off stage, plus it made it possible to head right into the parks after a shift.

They only hire foreigners (in our case, Americans) for specific performer roles in Entertainment, or a specialized executive position that can't be filled by locals. While I was at HKDL, aside from a few singers and most of the face characters, that park employed one American. He was one of the three Entertainment heads (he'd been a dancer at Disneyland for 10+ years).

During 1 trip back to the "Hundred Acre Wood" Trigger stumbled & his knees buckled. A parent & CM helped him upright & escorted him to those famous green doors. Kermit once said it's not easy being green, try being Tigger!

The rule about costumes out of work aren't as strict as you suggest here. Cast members are allowed to wear their costumes WITHOUT a visible name tag or ID to do a quick grocery/gas/bank run. As long as it's not a hyper-stylized costume, you're basically good for a quick run. And the not selling your tickets is a LOT stricter than suggested here. If your cast member friends let you into the park for free and you buy their lunch for them to say thank you, that cast member can get fired for "selling" that comp ticket. It has happened before and it will happen again.

I started in 1997 then Traditions was 3 days with often once you got to the location where you'd be employed, say like one of the resorts, there would be more---their traditions...before I was hired it had been a week-long thing...when they went to a day & a half everyone thought "mistake" and now that it is 4 hours? As Disney lessened the sessions, so did their "quality" and it showed. New cast members may have been given the rules but not what stands behind, nor stressed why those rules & standards are so important. Also, traditions used to cover the entire property which is as huge as many metropolitan cities and there is so much to learn, even the layout, where things are, what services there are to be offered, etc...it was like Disney expected you to JUST KNOW IT and instead of taking newbies out to explore NOW THEY are told to be sure to ON YOUR OWN TIME explore the parks, the resorts and water parks/golf courses, restaurants on your own! This means new hires no longer are getting the benefits of having an experienced cast member guiding them who can answer the new hire's questions and point out important things the newbie might miss.

I don't understand why pin trading is on this list, I mean depending on your position and location pin trading can be part of your job, but there is a pin board or other display of pins giving to cast members with pins already on there to trade with guests, obviously cast members can't deny a guest of trading but that isn't something we would lose our jobs over or mandatory, its not like we bringing our own personal collection of pins to trade.
@eclipsehorse86934 жыл бұрын
Yeahhh imagine NOT wanting to trade or making trading difficult for guests. Guests would report you and say you're being unreasonable and difficult, and 'negatively impacting their day'. Disney may have come out and said you HAVE to trade to promote the pin trading program and push interactivity with the guest. "look, we're not just going to pay you to stand in front of a store in Animal Kingdom and do nothing for 13 hours, you need to be engaging with guests and pushing our $14.00 pins "

One day when I was working in front of Test Track a couple of guys sounded like they had been around the showcase experiencing the beverages from around the world. I walked up to them to encourage them to have their fun but to tone it down a bit. That was when they said they worked there. I told them if they can't keep it down they will have to leave and leave quickly. As soon as I said that I turned to see my boss walking up. Eventually they told my boss they worked there. But because of how they were they got their one way ticket home that very night. Another rule is you are "NEVER allowed to get mad at anyone when driving in to work or on your day off. They told us everyone who is driving is "LOST" nobody knows where they are going, so getting mad at someone because they cut you off or did an immediate turn, they will fire you for it. Case in point we came in one day and two guys from "Internal Affairs" we didn't know what else to call them. were there. a few minutes one of our crew walked in, they stood up took him outside and never saw him again. One of the two guys came back in and took that cast members name off the computer. I asked and he said they caught him on camera getting mad at a guest while driving in.

Also, a friend showed up for her shift with a sunburn and she wasn’t allowed to work that day. I think the costume sizes only went up to a size 14 or 16 or so, correct me if I’m wrong. But I know someone who couldn’t work there due to that limitation. Seems that has changed as well. Management totally set us up for success and supported us in difficult situations. As Mickey was my first “boss,” the experience was outstanding and set the bar high for future management expectations. I had a ball working there, in the tickets department, back when each shift I could be working in any Land in their ticket booth, or making change at the Penny Arcade!

I am a former Disney store cadt member and we used to say 'I'm going to see Minnie ' when we needed to leave the stage, sales floor, and go to the restroom.

Respect for the Disney Cast Members for upholding the Disney brand! We spend hard earned money for the Disney brand. Some people might find the rules oppressive and would argue that Disney should embrace individualism. But this is about the people who spend money for the Disney magic and brand. So keep it up Disney!

I’ve worked at blizzard beach, Casey’s corner and The Haunted Mansion on my two Disney college programs and as much as guests can wear you down it was so great working at an attraction with such a deep history and die hard fan base.
