    Current CM.. Any Questions?

    Sweets are eaten in seconds and almost all trinkets end up in the trash but good comments on your record card are there until you leave the Disney Company.

    Current CM.. Any Questions?

    As Mags and I posted, some CMs do and some don’t. A lot depends on if it’s store bought and in the original wrapper or if it’s home made. My observation was that the younger CMs were more likely to eat the candy and the older CMs were not.

    I’m seeing a pattern. Your favorite ship is the Disney MAGIC and your favorite park to work at is the MAGIC Kingdom. Although I could be at any park on any given day I guess MK was always special.

    Do you prefer one park over another? Do you have a favorite character to be friends with? Compared to DCL, are your work days harder, easier, or the same at WDW?

    How did you decide on your career?

    Long career as a consulting design engineer. Was able to retire very early from that and got a retirement job at WDW. Retired with full benefits from the Disney Company.

    Current CM.. Any Questions?

    Of course that brings up the question, do CMs actually eat the candy or pastries that some guests may give them? In my experience, some CMs did and some didn’t. I was one of the ones that didn’t. For the ones that did, I’m guessing it was ok because I never heard of an incident after a CM ate...

    Hidden Mickeys in Magic Kingdom

    I was told during CM orientation a hundred years ago that Walt is wearing a ring on both hands. One is a traditional wedding ring and the other is an Irish ring honoring his Irish heritage. If there’s a hidden Mickey on either ring it was never mentioned and I’ve never heard that there is...

    Disney cruise... is it worth the price

    As this is a mostly pro-Disney Cruise Line forum, I suspect that most of the responses will be yes for various reasons.

    Walt Disney World Speedway

    It didn’t really work out as a full time professional track. There were some sanctioned races. I could hear and see some cars or trucks practicing as I went by once in while. Towards its later years I remember it mainly as the Richard Petty Driving Experience and as a practice track for the...

    Alaska Dining - Early or Late?

    Like others, we did an Alaska cruise and arrived on time for early dining. As East Coasters we prefer late dining on cruises.

    HS to AK early

    All good suggestions. Another option is to take the AKL bus from DHS then it’s a very short bus ride to AK. Before getting off though, check with the driver to see if they’re going to AK next. AK is one of the five bus hubs and there’s a possibility that the bus you’re on may be based out of AK.

    is magic band + worth it

    I have a never used, still in the box, personalized MB that was issued to all CMs for the final test run before they were available to the public. I wonder if it would work at the entrance tap-stiles and for purchases? Oh, are MBs worth it? For me, I never had the need to have one.

    best place to rest in EPCOT?

    Epcot was my home base for years so I’m very familiar with that spot and that would be my first pick. It’s out of the way, is quaint and has a great view.

    Would you get a MB+?

    I was just channeling my inner Oprah. The MB toothpaste is out of the tube and it won’t go back in.

    Cast members on DCL cruises

    In order to scrutinize CMs or not give them the same treatment as other passengers, ship Crewmembers would have to know who’s a CM? I don’t understand how or why they would bother doing that.

    Cast members on DCL cruises

    Like you, started in resorts in 96 but went into bus transportation and ended up in Park Event Ops, my favorite. Now retired.

    Would you get a MB+?

    Ok, everyone gets a free MB. How much can they cost Disney?
