WHAT DISNEY FEEDS CREW MEMBERS

[@TeenG]

If you want more Disney Cruise Line secrets, watch me spill ALL of the tea from my cabin on the ship! This video will go private again soon, so watch while you can! kzbin.info/www/bejne/amSckn6Pa7SWhpY

[@ZinkZoodles]

Gianna Alexis why private?

[@graysengordon6387]

i realize it is kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new movies online ?

[@jaxonpeyton9513]

@Graysen Gordon I use Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@JaniceCrowell]

Disney should provide at least 2 vegetable selections and 2 fruit selections for at least 2 meals a day if they want a healthy crew.

[@TeenG]

Agreed, sometimes they do, they are not always appetizing though.

[@servicedogs1429]

That reminds me when I was in a blind school for a month and the school only use donated food and we got no fresh vegetables or fruit that I can ever remember it drove me crazy I was so desperate for fresh fruit that I actually ordered a box of fresh fruit from Harry and David it cost me $50 to have it shipped to the school when I got it it was like fireworks going off I had people running in my room begging and pleading for a piece of fruit and we bit into it it was not even ripe none of us care of it what is it ripe at all we devoured the entire box in one day I could re-also remember finding out That there was a grocery store like a mile away and walking to that store just to be able to buy fresh fruit and that’s the vegetables that we ate raw you don’t know how desperate and crazy you get for fresh fruit and vegetables when you don’t have it.

[@live2travel301]

The lack of fruits and veggies is disturbing!! I will definitely be speaking up for the crew on my next Disney vacay to request the crew gets fruits and vegetables daily.

[@TeenG]

Fresh fruits are a rarity for sure!

[@khrystalocke1561]

@Brian yes, they are. But there is a lot of fresh produce that is left uneaten/unserved on the guest side that could go to the crew. Also, apples and bananas and grapes are pretty cheap.

[@Shayna11NM]

@Brian Bananas are literally one of the cheapest things available at any grocery store or produce stand.

[@tbam994]

No fruit and vegetables seems punitive.....especially since there is so much waste among the guests..... I'm sure staff would not waste any

[@TeenG]

I agree with you! We do not waste anything we get!

[@PossumWrangler]

Lol your food description and then talking about long-time crew that had special sauces & spices to fix the food up.....reminds me of those prison shows when the guys talk about going to the commissary and making food concoctions! I’m a little shocked that fresh fruit and veggies aren’t a focus of what they feed you, that’s a little shameful especially being a “Disney Product”

[@TeenG]

Many people compare the food to prison food! lol

[@emjax2323]

can you do a video about rules you had to follow while working on the ship? pleaseeeeeee

[@TeenG]

Yes! I will film that soon!

[@emjax2323]

Teen G thank you sm!!! I love your videos

[@dolewhips1574]

I would love it if you talked about what the different classes of workers are on the ship and what special priveliges they have. For example, I always see performers from the theatre on the deck in the late evenings.

[@TeenG]

I would definitely make a video about that! Thank you for the suggestion.

[@QuangNguyen-dw9je]

@@TeenG did that video come out yet? I'm interested in hearing you talk about the the different class of workers and their special privileges as well.

[@Shayna11NM]

Working for Disney or on a Disney cruise is definitely something I've never even considered. (I actually have no clue why YT recommended your videos, but I've been watching them while the country is in lockdown quarantine.) I really appreciate all your info on life as a crew member. I've worked 12-14 hour shifts before as a veterinary nurse in an emergency hospital, but I could go home every night, eat fresh fruit and veggies, sleep in my own bedroom ALONE! and I had days off to recharge after draining myself during my work week. I don't know how this is allowed. I had no clue Disney treated you so terribly as a crew member. I did work with one girl who worked at Disney World after college about 10 years ago. She was paid terribly and lived in (I think) a staff apartment situation with other Disney employees. Although they had days off, she said they were all so broke that they could never afford to go out and sometimes just making rent and buying groceries was a stretch. And that was with 5 people in a small 2 bedroom apartment! The very, very worst thing you've mentioned though is the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. I'm primarily a vegetarian. I literally don't think I could survive eating crew food. I think it's horrible that Disney would deny that to staff when they do things like carve melons and pineapples into sculptures to place in the guest dining areas for decoration. Wow. Your videos have really opened my eyes.

[@TeenG]

Thank you so much for watching and I am so glad that I can keep you entertained during this crazy time. Yes that is the reality for so many cast members in Disney World, mostly those in the college program. I was living in Disney housing and VERY broke those days too. I am a vegetarian too! It was hard, I did what I could to make it work! I agree with you so much about the melon carving!

[@AlternateReal217]

There are tons of books about what it’s like to be a Cast Member at the parks, but as far as I know there’s nothing like that written by anyone who worked for DCL. You should considering writing a book and publishing through Theme Park Press!

[@TeenG]

That is a fantastic idea! I will send them a message and see what they think!

[@AlternateReal217]

@@TeenG Looking forward to reading it! :D

[@NakishaSmith14]

Would love an updated what to pack / what you wish you had packed for dcl contract! Looking at applying as a fairy godmother in training or merchandise and would be very helpful :)

[@TeenG]

Awesome! Will film soon!

[@damarisrivera3897]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm thinking of making some care packages for our room steward, wait staff, and kids club attendants. Can you offer some suggestions for this? Can I include like those sealed fruit cups or like tuna pouches or granola or like a dried fruit? I want to make sure I get this right

[@TeenG]

CHOCOLATE!!!!! go go squeeze packets, fruit leathers, granola bars. That is so sweet of you ! They will be beyond ecstatic to receive that!

[@damarisrivera3897]

@@TeenG I was thinking of those fruit strips and go go squeeze. Just wanted to make sure they won't get in trouble for having them. Thanks for getting back to me ❤️

[@jessmartin7036]

On carnival we called it midnight mess not late night! I love to see the differences and similarities between the companies.

[@TeenG]

Thats too funny! Its so interesting the small differences in ship culture and language!

[@CesarinPillinGaming]

wow for a buffet it really seems to be very limited in food options. very different from what I expected (or from these videos of RCCL and Princess 's huge mess halls)

[@TeenG]

It is pretty small!

[@KayCeeTX21]

I don’t know how you didn’t have scurvy when you finally left the ship. 🍊 🍋 🌞 your green fuzzy glamour wrap is to die for. Amazing. Love it! 😍 😘

[@TeenG]

THANK YOU!!! We love a glamour wrap! No survey but I was definitely not feeling my best! I was happy too see sunshine and fruit!

[@Abudabili]

As someone who worked for them for 5+ years, this is on point. The food is terrible. You work long hours for almost no money, but I would not say it's not worth it. It's a great experience, but they do take advantage of the crew. DCL knows what they are doing.

[@evaerhardt1317]

this reminds me so much of my experience of working at a summer camp... right down to minimal food and the ‘treat’ of powdered hot chocolate 🙄

[@TeenG]

YES! Powdered hot chocolate! lol! Thank you so much for watching and supporting, I hear that summer camp is a very similar experience!

[@sandysutube63]

Disney definitely needs to hear from the crew for a way to fix theses easily fixable problems that make you guys more comfortable and mentally happy! Someone has to be “the Voice of the crew for mental health and happiness😁” while working for this awesome company called “Disney Where Dreams Come True!” 😢🎆 It breaks my heart to go in a cruise - or any cruise - while there are people working there that are not happy when they (Disney or any Cruise Corporation) can so easily make this dream/life come true!!!!!

[@TeenG]

Thats exactly why I started making these videos, There is little to no information online about what it is like to be a crew member so I at least wanted to put some information out there so people could make better decisions!

[@wr1u]

Wow Disney is really uptight. My daughter on Carnival can eat in guest areas. There are certain times but they can. If there’s a line she has to let guests go in front of her. They can eat in The dining room they just have to pay $5 gratuity on their sign and sail card. They can also drink in guest areas like the dining room or comedy club or the main theater they just can’t drink a lot. Carnival seems more laid back than Disney.

[@TeenG]

I hear that most other ships are pretty leisurely compared to Disney ships as far as crew member rules go!

[@wr1u]

My daughter had a friend named hailey who worked on the dream about a year ago in youth staff.

[@sheilan208]

Great video! Could you comment on what a good gift would be to leave for your service team? Last cruise we left an additional cash gratuity and bought some trail mix from the gift shop but I felt like Crew members might like something else specific? Any thoughts? You guys work so so so hard and I like to do something extra for you.

[@TeenG]

Omg chocolate. Good chocolate! Any food that you are allowed to bring on the ship. Go Go squeeze, Sometimes dried fruits are allowed! And money lol! Thank you for asking this is so sweet and anyone in your service team is very lucky!

[@kayleeorr3686]

What do they do about allergies? Like can you be gluten free as a crew member?

[@Scorpiyo360]

I’m confused because I’ve been up on deck 11 of the fantasy & dream and I’ve actually sat next to staff members eating at Mater’s and the other 2 windows. They have a salad bar right there as well as fruit available at the panini window. Ive been on several cruises and I can actually call these staffers by name....Why were they allowed to eat and others aren’t?

[@TeenG]

Like I say in the video depending on privileges/ rank and manager some crew members are allowed to eat on deck 11. Depending on what department you are in and what ranking you are decides if you can eat in guest areas or not.

[@Scorpiyo360]

Teen G you definitely stated this, but (with all due respect) they aren’t ship officers of of high status at all as I’ve developed a real friendship with these crew members. I never knew that crew were being treated this way or I would have asked them to explain how they’re allowed to eat upstairs and eat fruit and veggies but others aren’t. This is very sad and passengers should be made aware of this and demand better treatment of the crew. I’m going on the Southern in a week and you can best believe I’m going to be asking questions.

[@Tiffanynyc2323]

Do y’all have fridge in your room? If no will a small one fit

[@TeenG]

Yes there is a mini fridge in every room!

Hi!! New sub here and so exited!! I LOVE your videos so much!! I have never been to Walt Disney world or on a Disney cruise let alone a cruise period. I haven’t been to Disneyland in over 5 years and I live an hour from Disneyland so that’s where I am planning to go in a few months but then Walt Disney world I want to go 2019 and then one of the Disney cruises in 2020!! I’m so excited because 2020 is my wedding! Gosh time flies... anyways the first video I saw was your video about you being blacklisted but I only saw the first few minutes then went to he video of why you quit like you recommended so technically that was the first video I saw then the why you were blacklisted one.

[@celiamartin2907]

We don’t really eat fruit and veggies much, so wouldn’t be a problem. No desserts, big problem, LOL.

[@TeenG]

There are plenty of desserts! lol

[@Hufflehan]

Do the foods have allergens listed on the labels? Or is there any way to find out the ingredients other than just looking at it? Just worried about not knowing if something has milk in it or eggs etc

[@TeenG]

Yes! The chefs and servers have books that have every ingredient listed!

[@Hufflehan]

@@TeenG That's fantastic thank you and you can access them from the crew mess?

[@mariflame1821]

So what happens with all the leftover food that doesn't get eaten by the guests at dinner? Sad that the employees don't get to enjoy that?

[@TeenG]

At midnight there is late night snack in the mess and sometimes we get leftover appetizers from the guest restaurants!

[@QuangNguyen-dw9je]

Hi, I'm quite new to your channel. I'm from Canada and started watching Disney Cruise videos. At 8:10 you mention welcome line and reservations. If I want to finish at 8pm what steps should I take to apply for those roles? Also on the Disney cruise do they pay hourly? What is exactly is the process like to get permission to eat food from the restaurants outside of the mess hall? Is it matter of just asking a manager and if that person is in a good mood for that day they will grant you access?

[@TeenG]

That is not an option unfortunately, Those are duties you get while working once a month in ether youth activities, Boutique or cruise staff roles. Everyone on the ship works 70+ hours a week. Cruise ship work id contractual but broken down I made about $5 an hour. You ask a manager a few days in advance and get a form signed. It de[pends on how full the ship is and how full reservations are.

[@QuangNguyen-dw9je]

@@TeenG Thanks so much for your reply! As a Canadian, I don't know much about working for American companies. So for cruise life how does pay for overtime work if at all? Is it time and a half if the day worked falls on a Holiday? In my previous jobs I have experience in retail and serving in restaurants. For sure I want to get away from retail. I am considering server or entertainment roles for Disney cruise. For entertainer roles I am open to being a dancer or a fur character. What do you know about the roles I am interested in?

[@Daniel_s444]

Cheap protein!

[@Shayna11NM]

Ugh and hotdogs are so unhealthy in general! Full of preservative, salt, nitrites and nitrates. I'd also bet that those are not Hebrew National dogs. (The ONLY dog I would ever even consider eating.) I would literally rather have a can of cold chickpeas or black beans than a hotdog for protein.

[@skylercranford7135]

Shana de la Gata I’m vegetarian and the thing is people just don’t do research and they aren’t open to trying alternatives for protein or they thin meat is the only form of protein!

[@Shayna11NM]

Skyler Cranford Agreed. I'm not even worried about protein so much, but I think I would DIE without frequent access to fresh fruit and veggies.( I'm mostly vegetarian as well.) I eat a lot of beans and dairy products for protein. I also make a delicious burger from dried split peas. :)

I have a really important question, in your last videos you talked about the crew members being from all around the world, did you have Latino friends? Do you know how does the contract work? And the visas? Can you work in a cruise being Latino?

[@TheStaceySquad]

As long as you can get a work Visa for the U.S. They could possibly hire you! Once you pass the application and the interview process. Good luck! I think you have to through the U.S. Embassy to get work visas etc.. I've been looking into study abroad and different visas etc... and I've found out that you have to go through the U.S. Embassy to get a student visa (to go into another country from the U.S.) . So I'm sure it's similar for a work visa if you're international coming to the U.S. for work here.

[@CesarinPillinGaming]

You can get work from Disney for certain positions from all over the world. You just need to contact their procurement allies and check which positions they are requesting. Latinos are sought mostly for Waiters and Kids related ( oceaneers club, etc..). Which reminds me that DCL (and most cruise lines) are pretty racist in terms of filling certain positions. I have NEVER seen a position higher than 2 stripe (example, IT staff, high ranking Officer) from any procurement ally in Latinamerica. These jobs are always offered to USA, CAN and EUROPE (as per the website of Disney Careers compared to what the procurement allies request). Mexico for example, always get requests for Nannies and Waiters (for all companies). Any IT staff or non entertainment that requires expertise like Maintenance, Management, Human Resources, etc? nope..
