Ask a Disney Tour Guide Anything

How would an international get a job there? I was thinking lifeguard at one of the water parks.

Apply online, also hiring reps go to a lot of international schools. I would suggest working at the UK pavillion in EPCOT if I was you, pay would be better, job would be easier, you would work with all people from the U.K. and you could be a server/bartender if you are good with people

Same, I'm from Canada, college student/part time lifeguard, speak 3 languages.

Can I get a summer job?

[lightell]

Why do people drop out to work for DisneyWorld? In Disneyland, I heard entry level people get paid like ****. Minimum wage, etc. Please explain and aware me of this phenomenon.

The work is fun, everyone gets benefits, cheap housing, can continue education at UCF when you want, room for advancement after you get degree

many many people are college drop outs that came down here for a semester and just decided to stay

[lightell]

what kind of work experience do they look for when hiring cast members & how many interviews do you have to do

What job? It varies a lot

No doubt, Lots of Canadians work here and speaking multiple languages is a huge plus

Apply now I believe its open for the summer semester.

they are looking for really specific people, clean cut fun people that will enjoy work and get a long well with others. Just try to sound confident during the phone interview the questions for an entry level job are basic and they really just want to see what kind of a mind set you have.

have you seen walt's frozen head, below the ball @ epcot?

That's the only thing I found lifeguard related, is there anywhere else I should be looking. Is it better to work at a Disney resort or theme park?

There is nothing below the ball at Epcot but Cement,

His head is supposed to be in the Disney Vault in Burbank California.

If you want to work as a lifeguard you will either be at a hotel pool or waterpark, most people prefer the hotel

are you in college?

[neilsabo]

Will buy you a beer if I get hired, thanks for the help brah!

[lightell]

Hotel front desk they usually want someone that is majoring in hotels or someone with experience. I started out in a hotel and its great.

Ride operator they just want someone that has shown they can keep a job.

If you speak multiple languages and are out going and fun you are a lock for sure, I would advise looking into the Canadian Pavillion at Epcot as a second choice

Kind of wanted to move to florida when im done school anyway....any suggestions for someone with a communications/pr/marketing background?

[lightell]

Getting Cp comments requesting pics,

We are not really supposed to post a bunch of pics on social media sites (though many do) and due to misc detectives probably not the smartest thing for me to post

There are job postings for professional jobs but it would be easier to start as an hourly. Then you will get access to the jobs portal and can look for jobs in your major and you will have some Disney experience. You would have to be willing to start small though

It wouldnt be hard on short notice if you are not picky about what you are doing

[lightell]

Lots of ******** but they are with their parents so if they are your thing it will be tought sledding. Obviously I dont mack on chicks while I am giving tours but in employee only areas its very common

[MaggotIngestion]

lmao at the idiots who would intern for disney land or disney world.

brb wasting an entire semester just to get paid $7.25/hour.
brb taking $140 from your paycheck every week for your dorm style disgusting filthy housing
brb working in 100 degree weather as a "marketing representative" which is actually just a sales clerk and park greeter
brb being free labor

[therealturk]
