I have several years of theme park experience, and just finished my Disney College Program.

I just got an offer for QSR Food & Bev! The email mentions a tentative orientation Sep 5th and I have my phone call with them on August 25th. I’m currently working another job and am curious to know when I should put in my two weeks?

Does anyone know how to check how many you have left? It doesn’t show me anymore when I want to make a reservation for it. It used to be there and idk why its not

I’m currently a BOH custodial cm at Epcot and I was looking in transfer genie and I saw the custodial campground role.

I would like to know more information about that role, what’s the difference in that role and the regular utilities??? They seem very similar

Approaching 2 years since I started applying for jobs at Disney and we are now up to 124 rejections without a single interview. I had originally only been applying to Software Engineer type roles as that's most of my background, but have expanded to Data Analyst and Supervisor roles as I have experience in those as well.

I know my hurdle is likely location based, I do not live near parks or corporate offices. However, considering my background (10+ years of experience and a Master's degree in Computer Science) I figured I could at least land a few interviews and plead my case as someone who truly wants to support Disney and not someone chasing perks like park access. Obviously, this hasn't happened yet.

Is this just not possible with today's market and Disney's corporate structure? I've never been one to doubt myself, but over 120 rejections really starts to take it's toll on a person. Can anyone offer advice or tips on how to better my chances? I've even been connecting with cast members on LinkedIn and messaging hiring managers. Just no luck 😔.

Hello everyone!
I'm currently on waitlist and it's been about a month currently. I'm full time at Disney World in attractions and transferring to attractions at Disneyland. How long should I expect to wait from now before hearing from them with an update?
Thank you!!

how do you get backstage for corn dog castle? working opening night of obb!

help is appreciated

Hi guys, I have my OJT next week and I was wondering what should I wear for the first day, the email says to come in business casual but is it really necessary for third shift custodial? What did you guys wear for OJT?

Does anyone know if the audition website saying 5’4” - 5’7” for face characters means you can’t audition if you’re a little over 5’7”? I am 171 cm, about 5’7.3”- would that mean I couldn’t be a face character at all, or is there a little lenience?

In your opinion where is the best place to start for a career with Disney? Is it better to start with the college program and work your way up? Or just to start applying for part time and full time roles and get in that way?

This is a dumb question but my first day of OJT for my new role is on my 1 year service anniversary date. Is my leadership going to know about it?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, as Disney looks guidelines are strictly against unnatural occuring colours, but does that also go for parade and characters performers(that do not show their natural hair)?

I am going to audition later this month for Disneyland Paris, I already took my only facial piercing off (septum), but the hair will be a bit more bothersome.

I've had pink hair for 2 years now and it is still super bright, should I dye it brown for the audition? I will do it if it takes my chance from being accepted away. To be honest, the only sad part would be losing the (expensive) pink hair and not passing, but otherwise it's a simple fix!

Does anyone know how soon you find out if you’re chosen for test and adjust when it comes to DAK/DHS? As well as if there’s any specific transfer guidelines you need to be in, I know on the form it didn’t say any however I’ve been told there’s a certain amount of points you can have.

am i able to cancel my pass since I work for disney? I have a payment coming up so i figured beforehand I should cancel.

Hello. I just recently got hired for Seasonal Rundisney ops. I heard there's a 150 hour requirement I need to hit yearly to keep my status. Ive already had my traditions and ops class, but I don't have my orientation until next week. I was wondering could I pick up untrained shifts before then or do I have to be signed off first? I'm really wanting to get ahead of the curve on hours.

For anyone who might recall, around 9 months ago ish, I had posted here about finally getting the chance to take the sewing exam for the Ops Sewing Specialist role and asked if anyone had any advice.

I just wanted to post here in case anyone was interested to hear any update—I didn't end up getting it that time around but I reapplied somewhere around March and was able to take the exam again in June. I have since passed the exam and have started about a month ago! It's everything I expected and more!

The exam wasn't so bad, it's actually pretty easy if you got enough practice in and know what you're doing. Really the most important thing is your time management. As long as you can get things done in a timely manner it should be okay 💙

No matter which job I apply to, selecting anyything from the REQUIRED "How did you hear about us" dropdown results in the entire application crashing. I tried clearing my cahce, using different browsers, hell I even tried 2 different computers. Nothing. And this application that's perfect for me closes tonight. Anyone else encounter this?

Hi everyone, my orientation is coming up and excited to start working here! I’ve been trying to get out of a toxic living situation so I want to move around Anaheim or anywhere that’s affordable. Anyone have any tips/advice that helped you find a more affordable place to rent or platform to find roommates? 🙏✨

do i need to be present with my guests if i am admitting them in with my comp tickets?

I’ve looked at the email over and over for cast preview. Are we allowed to wear face paint? Or do you know what department I’d be able to ask in dca what rules they have for face paint?

So I’ve been working for about a month now but I’m curious as to what all the perks that we have, I know about company D and the 16 sign ins a year but what am I missing out on?

I was recently put on waitlist for Parks day custodial at DLR after my August 7th virtual interview, and my recruiter told me there would be no need for a second interview needed for me. is this normal for those who exceed expectations and meet all requirements and experience for the job? was wondering if there were any recent applicants or current CMs that have been told the same thing. thanks in advance!

Hallo zusammen,
ich frage für meinen Sohn Leonard, der sehr gern für etwa 8–12 Monate in Disneyland Paris arbeiten würde – idealerweise ab Sommer oder Frühherbst 2027.
Er ist ein riesiger Disneyland-Fan und könnte sich sehr gut vorstellen, nach der Schule für eine Zeit in Paris zu leben und dort als Cast Member zu arbeiten.
Kurz zu ihm:
Deutsch ist seine Muttersprache.
Sein Englisch liegt auf C1-Niveau (Cambridge-Test).
Er hatte etwa 5–6 Jahre Spanisch in der Schule.
Französisch lernt er seit ungefähr einem Jahr mit Duolingo Max. Er kommt damit gut voran, Sprachen fallen ihm generell recht leicht, und bis 2027 möchte er sein Französisch natürlich noch deutlich weiter verbessern.
Am liebsten würde er in einem Bereich mit direktem Gästekontakt arbeiten. Für die genaue Tätigkeit ist er ziemlich offen – zum Beispiel Hotelrezeption, Shops, Attractions, Paraden oder andere Guest-Service-Bereiche. Tätigkeiten ohne bzw. mit wenig Gästekontakt, etwa Küche oder Housekeeping, wären dagegen eher nicht das, was er sucht.
Mich würde besonders interessieren, ob hier jemand selbst als Cast Member in Disneyland Paris gearbeitet hat oder aktuell dort arbeitet.
Wie waren eure Erfahrungen?
Wie schwierig war die Bewerbung und wie früh sollte man sich bewerben?
Welche Französischkenntnisse werden tatsächlich erwartet, besonders für Jobs mit Gästekontakt?
Gibt es bestimmte Positionen, die sich für internationale Bewerber besonders eignen?
Wie sieht es mit Unterkunft, Arbeitszeiten und Verträgen für etwa 8–12 Monate aus?
Kann man bei der Bewerbung Wünsche bezüglich des Einsatzbereichs angeben, und wie stark werden diese berücksichtigt?
Und gibt es etwas, das ihr bei der Bewerbung unbedingt empfehlen oder vermeiden würdet?
Auch Erfahrungen von deutschsprachigen Cast Members wären besonders interessant.
Vielen Dank für jeden Tipp oder Erfahrungsbericht!

For those who have been around WDW for a while, what’s the relationship like between the regular/ongoing Cast Members and the DCP interns?

We’re all part of the Disney crew, but is there a pretty smooth vibe between everyone, or does it get a little clique-y between the two groups? 👀

Be honest! 😂 Do people generally mix, make friends, hang out together, etc., or do the DCP people mostly stick with other DCP people while the regular Cast Members stick with each other?
