Cast Member’s Corner: So You Want to be a Cast Member

I’ve been going to Disney pretty much since I was born.  My parents became part of the Disney Vacation club when I was little and our trips to Disney ranged from at least once a year to three times a year on occasion.  I’ve done Disney World, Disneyland, the Disney Cruise Line, and Disney’s Vero Beach Resort.  I grew up watching all the Disney Classics, and still do.  So needless to say I was raised loving Disney and my love only grew each year. But one of the best experiences I’ve ever done with Disney was their College Program.  Read more

12241029_10153295795996234_8981204645040989725_oWhile at Walt Disney World this past month, I started really noticing the Cast Members and wondered how cool (or frustrating) it could be to deal with that many people every day!

Cast Member’s Corner: What Time is the 3:00 Parade?

As a Cast Member I’ve heard all types of questions.   Things like, “Where is the closest bathroom” to “What time is the three o’clock parade” (yes people really do ask that, and you can now get a shirt that says it).  These are the kinds of questions that Guests will ask because they feel they are easy for the Cast Members to answer.  But Cast Members can answer so much more then that.

Cast Member’s Corner: Waiting in Those Disney Lines

If you’re headed to Disney World, you’re probably excited to go to the parks and get on all your favorite rides, but you’re not looking forward to the lines.  Well the Cast Members don’t want you to wait on those lines either.  They’re trying their hardest to get you on as quickly and effectively as they can.  If you are stuck on a long line near a Cast Member ask them if they know any trivia.  A lot of times the Cast Members have trivia about the park or their ride, thinking about the answers could make your time pass a lot faster!  Also take a good look at the decorations and read carefully, everything was decorated that way for a reason!  Cast Members also may be able to let you know if there are any hidden Mickey’s on their attraction and where they might be.
