Which WDW or DL castmember position would you want?

Registration people have a special opportunity to turn things around.

Although - I’d probably work at USO…

VIP Tour Guide if I get to ride all the rides and get good tips.

True, but it’s probably not fun to be on the receiving end of complaints about someone’s room location, MB not opening their door ( :person_raising_hand:), room deficiencies, pool/skyliner/anything out of order, etc. At this point in my life, I don’t need to subject myself to angry people if I can avoid it.

I agree with others who want an offstage type of job. Maybe something like working on the trains or monorails for maintenance and repair.

Imagineer.

Or maybe the person who would be responsible for dismantling Genie+.

I’ve always wanted to be one of the folks that puts in the gorgeous beds full of plants of one color, like at resort entrances. Grounds keeper. Landscaper. Plants and dirt. :blush:

Altho I may have aged out of that. :smirk:

I always dreamed of being a Princess - face character. I’m too old, gray and wrinkly to do it now though :laughing: but a girl can dream.

Now - if I had to do it - I’d probably want to work at the confectionary. I love baking and have thought about making it a side hustle at some point.

I would want to do major construction projects, especially ones that require complicated and phased closures.

Safari Driver. And work my way into working with the animals as a trainer. (And yes, that can happen. One of the CMs I met the second time I did the rhino tour started as a Safari Driver and his educational background was not animals or science.)

Why isn’t my room ready yet? It’s 3:01pm. So what that it’s Christmas week!

Is this required?

It depends on what type of imagineer you want to be I suppose. I wanted to be an architect and was going to get a civil engineering undergrad. On that track, calculus was a requirement.

The more artistic focused disciplines likely don’t require calculus. I would assume. But they require talent. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::rofl:

Maybe not so much now, but growing up I would have wanted to drive the monorail.

Me: the CM who is positioned at the entrance to Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail!
DH: boat pilot (like for POFQ to Disney Springs) because of the captive audience for all his Disney lore, random factoids, and dad jokes.

My first reaction was Jungle Cruise skipper, followed by RotR actor.

Then I thought what I’d really love is to be a Citizen of Hollywood.

And finally thinking outside the box a little I came up with the department that designs the various decorations - Halloween, Christmas, F&G festival etc.

I have only stayed on WDW property once. In my own travels I’ve never had a room not ready when it was supposed to be. :woman_shrugging:t2: I didn’t realize WDW fell down on this. Good thing I had no intention of sending in my resume any time soon. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It’s improved overall. I think it was worse when things started opening back up after the pandemic closure when staffing was not good.

But depending on the season you sometimes hear reports of many people still waiting for a room well after check-in time. And it sounds frustrating for everyone.

I would not want to be behind the desk in that situation. You’re a sitting duck.

We hadn’t either. But both stays for us in March this year, our room was not ready. In fact our second stay, it wasn’t ready until roughly an hour after it was supposed to be.
