Hi everyone,
I want to preface this by saying this is undoubtably a controversial subject, but it's something that I wanted to discuss. My family just got home from a week-long vacation at Disneyland. We had a fantastic visit, and nothing that I am about to approach really seriously affected this, but it's something I noticed.
Does anyone have thought about the 'magical-ness' of the cast members at DLR vs WDW? A little background: I spent last summer working at WDW as an international CP, but before that, DLR was my 'home' park as a west-coast Canadian.
I don't really have any specific example, and we encountered very few (if any- i can think of only 1 or 2 negative experiences) CMs who were downright rude, but over the course of the week, I felt like there was less palpable magic and excitement from cast members- less 'have a magical day', and overall less enthusiasm (genuine or acted). My theory is that as a 'locals park', there is less demand for this sort of thing. On top of that, I felt like the majority of CMs in Florida were from outside of the immediate area, and had moved there specifically to work for Disney, while most DLR CMs were from California.
Has anyone else noticed this?
