I just had to post because I am so excited to say I was hired today at the Disneyland Resort! I will be working Fantasyland/Toontown Attractions starting in June. Working at Disney has always been a dream of mine, I am so happy to have the opportunity.

You all will have to say hello on your next trip to Disneyland. :cool1:

[ElloPoppet]

wow, how exiting! is it hard to get a job there? i would love to work there! but i live in arizona, so that's kind of a long commute. what's the pay like?

[hurleysweety]

OMGoodness! Congrats! Hope its everything you've dreamed of! Hope to see you there!:banana:

[reynmagsmom]

Congrats!

[nunzia]

Congrats! I'm envious. I always wanted to work for Disney and even got my degree with that goal in mind (B.S. Hotel, Restaurant, Tourism Management) and even went to the college program recruitement thing (where I was the dork who got all the trivia questions right..and the only 40 year old there BTW) I couldnt do the college thing because life/kids got in the way and I couldn't get to CA or Florida because, well, no one would tolerate living in either place, so I only made it as fas as Vegas.
Take it all in and give them your best!

[Jennifer03]

Congratulations!

You know there is a CM only forum on the boards - you'll be able to post there soon!

Now for the slight downer of being a CM..... I really don't want to burst your excitement, but I want to look out for you.....

The biggest caution I can give you is to please be careful about what information you share with us once you get hired. You will be signing confidentiality clauses in your contracts (yes - they are there in the fine print) and if you leak things publicly on board posts that you aren't supposed to, you will get in trouble. God forbid - we don't want that to happen to you!!!! Albort and the others can tell you that if you think it won't happen and that they wouldn't look at the boards, you would be making a grave mistake. People from Disney read these boards on a regular basis.

That being said - enjoy your new position and making magic for the rest of us!!!!!:wizard:

[mystic_path]

OOH Congratulations!!! :goodvibes Thats huge! Very exciting. I would love to work in Fantasyland

Thanks for the congratulations and the reminder. Yea I am definitely aware of that for sure. I have worked for several other companies where it was also a big issue. Even if its your friends or people you know, its never worth risking your job!

[TamiV]

Thanks for all congrats everyone. I am certainly anxious to start. Next Friday I go fill out lots of paperwork and get my cast member id. It should be a fun summer.

You will actually receive your Disneyland Resort Cast Member ID, along with your Disneyland Resort Nametag, during your Traditions Class.

Traditions is the Disneyland Resort's New Hire Orientation programme, inspired by the traditions that Walt Disney lived his life by and which continue to guide The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies today. This class teaches new Disneyland Resort Cast Members about internal operating procedures, as well as instills a respect for the rich heritage of the Disneyland Resort and The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies.

The time and date of this class will be communicated to you when you arrive at the Disneyland Resort Casting Services office to submit your New Hire Paperwork.
