    Haunted Mansion

    Honestly, every kid is different. There are 2-year olds who are totally un-phased by it, but at the same time, I've seen kids like 10 years old getting carried out in tears. You know your kids best! Use your best judgement. It's definitely appropriate for all ages. It IS dark, there ARE loud...

    Tattoo Question

    They'll also let you cover them up with makeup, as long as you can't see them at all. Lower arm tattoos will disqualify you from QSFB, but otherwise you're good. I started out as an Attractions CP and have tattoos on each wrist -- I cover one with makeup and the other with a watch. :)

    Can you be in the park on a MNSSHP night if you don't have a MNSSHP ticket

    Granted, if people didn't do stuff like that, those sorts of checks wouldn't be necessary. :p But they do, so they are. C'est la vie. It's funny, obviously it happens, but I've been to a lot of MNSSHPs since 2009 and I've never had an experience where I've had to wait or been inconvenienced...

    RFID Scanners installed around MK

    ^ THIS! Bear in mind that this is just a prelim testing phase, so unless you're part of the test, any information like this might completely change before any sort of real implementation. I'm pretty sure you can view your schedule from any of the kiosks (there are 4, they're mentioned back...

    FASTPASS+ Itinerary Planning at Magic Kingdom May 1st

    Though keep in mind, it's only a test. So if in the future they actually implement a FP reservation system, there's likely to be a lot more flexibility.

    Role questions

    Yep! You can pick up PAC shifts (and stroller parking shifts) on the HUB, which you'll learn more about when you get there. PAc and strollers are positions that don't require any specialized training. I've also seen shifts as QSFB greeters that don't require training either. I did two...

    Are cast members responsible for their "CM clothes" as far as laundry goes?

    I always washed my own costume. a) I never wanted to deal with going back to costuming and finding new ones if I could help it and b) there was less of a chance at having something accidentally not come off my record after I scanned it in if I didn't do it very often. Each costume will have...

    9 day trip planning, have some questions.

    If you're the type of people, as you seem to be, that just do not get tired of theme parks, then absolutely -- buy those Universal/IOA tickets! Personally, I'd recommend 2-park 2-day tickets so you can go back and forth between the parks each day. For the time of year you're going, I would...

    Experienced many broken attractions...anyone else

    On rides like Haunted Mansion especially (continuous loading/omnimovers) if you stop only briefly, that's not a glitch and it's not broken. CMs are required to stop the ride for safety reasons for guests in wheelchairs who request it, guests who don't exit their buggy quickly enough, guests who...

    Housing, Arrival Dates Question

    Well... this is sort of true. The rooms available for any check-in date are the ones that became available after other CPs check out, a day or a few days earlier. There aren't always rooms of each type available for every check-in date, though there's usually a pretty decent variety. My...

    Question about apartments

    There's central air, but if your apartment ends up being anything like mine was, the living room could be arctic and the bedrooms might be a little on the warm side. Bring a small table fan just in case! I think you can get them at Wal-Mart for about $10.

    Disney Look

    General rule of thumb: if you're wondering whether something might not be okay, don't wear it. Pick something else instead.

    About the apartments...

    They go over the rules and restrictions regarding wellness housing and being underage at a party with alcohol EXTENSIVELY in the mandatory housing meeting which is, as I remember, on check-in day. From what I remember, say you're hosting a party with alcohol in your non-wellness apartment...

    Days Off

    Like I said in another thread, if you don't get the day(s) off that you need approved, there might be seasonal or part-time cast in your line of business that would be happy to take your shift(s) from you. I would ask around to some of the full and part time cast and see if they know anyone...

    Slim chances of getting a day off the week leading into Easter???

    Everyone is right -- the sooner the day(s) is/are requested on the HUB, the better the chances. It depends on how many other people request the same days off and CPs have the lowest seniority of anyone in a work location. Even if the day off is denied, there's always the chance that she can...

    Just back and the one major thing I learned....

    I always wonder where these people are from. I want to live in this mythical town where the sidewalks are all deserted and one can stop wherever one chooses with no consequences. Sometimes people get turned around and need to consult the map or their phone or whatever, and that's fine... but...

    I didn't know .....

    I'm not sure about what conditions will close Fantasmic, but given that there are so many characters involved, my best guess would be that it wouldn't go on with anything past a drizzle. I could be very wrong, though. Tink flies during Wishes, but if there's rain, lightening, and I think even...

    I didn't know .....

    This month there's been some pretty good almost day-long thunderstorms, but in general you're looking at maybe an hour or two of rain that's like the heavens are opening up, and then it's gone. Outdoor attractions will close if it's raining or even before rain when lightening is reported...

    Where to find Princess Tiana?

    Yup, it's true that Naveen isn't at this m&g anymore. Such a shame.
