    Cast Member Gifts

    As a current Cast Member I only slightly disagree from a personal perspective. 90% of the compliments I have are from other Cast Members with a few being from Guests or something I did in relation to a Guest (given by a Leader/Coord, not on behalf of a Guest). I'm not sure if it's because people...

    I'm kinda ticked at Disney. They shouldn't have stayed open as long as they did.

    Bro I was so nervous working those last few days at HS. I love the parks and making magic but omggggg When we closed it seemed as though everyone wanted to take the opportunity to hug CMs and touch the characters and I felt a little like Hades for a minute. We're closing because of a pandemic...

    Rumor about “modified experiences” when Disney reopens (read 1st post for potential modifications being considered)

    Trust me when I tell you they won't. Disney has great health services, I won't lie, but it's nothing compulsory. If it is something that occurred at work you can get workers comp and I supposed you'd be monitored that way, but you're also put on restrictions whenever you do that. You're removed...

    Rumor about “modified experiences” when Disney reopens (read 1st post for potential modifications being considered)

    As a CM I can tell you I've heard about none of this so I wouldn't get your hopes up. The only thing on there that I see as viable would be the limiting guest numbers for enclosed spaces at a show or ride and providing more hand washing/sanitization stands. Other than that all of these options...

    If the closure is extended beyond 3/31, when do you think it will be announced?

    I haven't bothered to read all the posts but to give an example of how much "notice" Disney gives us I'll say this. WDW CP's were given a 3-4 day notice about their eviction from CP housing and the end of their program. So...if we're staying closed longer than 2 week I'd say they'd give us a...

    Unwanted attention from the rainbow Magic Band on a child?

    This post is a little old but I figured I might chime in anyways. If a Guest sees something they don't like...more often than not they'll turn to the nearest CM to talk about it versus bothering another Guest. Regarding the Pride collection I've had multiple people glad at one another, only to...

    Too Much in 14 days?

    5. What time are you getting to your resort and what time are you planning to be at AK? If it's not early it the day you won't make any of those things. Just leaving your resort and getting into AK could take over an hour. Say you leave the resort at 12 but you don't get into the park until like...

    How to watch fireworks and avoid drunks

    You can try and ask the CMs loading everyone in if you and your family can be placed alone but that's really the only way unless you Uber or take a Mini-Van back to the hotel. Or you could take some time after the fireworks and wait until there's less people around. Leave before the fireworks...

    Would Disney allow a pop up chair if small enough?

    No chairs of any kind at all. If you somehow manage to get through security (doubtful) you wont be using it for long before security or a manager comes to talk to you. There are other options and plenty of seating areas though. Wheelchairs are $12; ECVs are $50 with a $20 deposit. You only...

    Some questions for a Disney world newbie ;)

    Since everyone kind of answered the first question, I'll answer the last two. The Mexican food really is the best whenever you're over at Epcot and in the land. Pecos in MK is alright, definitely not bad but not really my favorite. As for the thing about Donald...it just kind of depends on the...

    Shoes for the parks?

    I would use whatever athletic shoes are currently comfortable for you and then add insoles. I'd also recommend giving yourself, or having someone, give you a foot massage before and after visiting the park. The brand I always end up wearing is Time and Tru flip flops which are actually rather...

    Fellow DISers with glasses: Photochromic lenses or prescription sunglasses for trip?

    As a CM I regretted the day that I chose multicolor aviator sunglasses as my choice for personal wear because I could never wear them to work. That being said, if I hadn't lost them on the Haunted Mansion (while switching to my normal glasses so I could see) I'd still wear them everywhere. The...

    Water question

    Go to quick service locations and ask for a cup of water -they give them out for free. Otherwise drink tap, buy water or bring your own water bottle. There's legit no other options. Unless you want to stop by the Speedway gas station before every venture into the parks to find a different type...

    Have you finished your Christmas shopping?

    I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTEDDD AHHHHH!! Money has been so tight lately, one thing right after the other. Scheduling is crazy too so not a whole lot of energy and time to shop and ship. I'm hoping to get some stuff done this week, no matter the cost of shipping. I'm a little saddened by it all actually. :(

    Share your story from visiting DHS’ SWGE!

    Sooooooooooo, given that we're coming right up on the release of SW: GE on the 29th and I've seen other Cast Members post their experiences I figured I would do the same. I will not be posting any pictures unfortunately, or at least not until Batuu is openly receiving travelers out of courtesy...

    Help me decide Animal Kingdom vs Blizzard Beach vs Resort Day

    I would probably do Blizzard Beach but I am a little biased. As a Cast Member I generally don't find myself going over to Animal Kingdom very often. It's often very crowded, very hot and not the place I want to be if I'm supposed to be going somewhere later that evening. Blizzard Beach is an...

    Am I missing something?

    There are transmitters in the magic bands, they are technically "trackers" but you don't have to wear them. Some people opt for the cards but I'm not gunna lie those are very easy to lose.

    Handling the Heat

    I can confirm. Today was murderous. I think it got up to 95 but it felt like the inside of an oven lol

    Planning June 2022 for 9 to 11 people

    I'll add on a little here. The budgeting is a big, big, BIG thing. It really is going to be upwards of $1-1,500 per person and I would honestly give a little wiggle room. Everything at Disney is way more expensive than it probably needs to be. Bottles of water are $3.50 each. If you have a...

    Favorite cooling towel and other tricks to beat the heat

    If you do plan on taking drinks or anything just make sure you're putting them in a container that's inline with Disney's policy. They recently started cracking down on the size of wagons/coolers that people bring into the parks so make sure it's not crazy big and no loose ice; only ice packs...
