    Gym Facilities at Apt Complexes

    I was in the vista gym at least 6 days a week. There are a couple treadmills, bikes and elipticals, a stair machine and a rowing machine if you're into that. There's a Smith machine, a couple flat/incline benches, one decline bench, a rack of free weights (15-45lbs), a combination cable machine...

    Parties

    There are plenty of places to go on any given night, you'll learn where and when, when you get there. If anyone tells you Buffalo Wild Wings is the place to be on Wednesdays, ignore them and go downtown to Chillers instead. And there will always be parties happening in the complexes. If you...

    Universal Annual Passes?

    Make friends with someone who works at Universal. They can get you a serious discount on an annual pass. They can also get you team member discounts on merchandise and food and Universal doesn't make a fuss about it like Disney does about using your discount for others. I paid ~127 after tax for...

    Attraction Spiel Rides

    Not all of Innoventions roles are spieling. It's actually split between Host/Hostess and Presenter roles. Presenters do the spieling and are usually responsible for 2 or 3 venues at most. The presenter venues consist of Don't Waste It, Stormstruck/Stormkit, Where's the Fire?, Segway Central, and...

    Summer Alumni Program 2010

    I am, although I don't know how long I'll be staying. I'm in the final interview stage for a really good job here in New England that will start in June. If I end up getting that job, I'll only be in Orlando for a couple weeks and will likely forgo the college program.

    Hardcore kids in fall?

    I might be there until mid-August, but likely leaving early for a better job. Otherwise, I'd definitely go to some shows. We're a rare breed on the CP that's for sure.

    Safe areas near the parks to live in?

    I lived in Club Cortile in Kissimmee right off 192 (Seven Dwarfs Ln to be exact) last summer and it is a very nice complex. Completely gated, partially tennants partially tourists. I believe it was 1000/month for a 3 bed room apartment and they also had townhouses that were a little more...

    Seasonal "transfer" to CP/PI question!

    I'm a seasonal cast member doing the summer alumni program in May and I was wondering the same thing actually. I know my work location will likely be different, but after the program ends it seems like my seasonal status will be gone. I'm going to talk to my current area leaders and let them...

    The CP/CM Costume Pictures Thread

    Yes. When they issue it to you, don't throw away the plastic it comes in because it has the bar code on it that is needed to return it. I made this mistake during my CP and when I returned the raincoat at the end, it still showed up as checked out in my costuming record. So when I went back last...

    Seasonal help please

    There's no limit to how much you can work as a seasonal cast member. I was there last summer for about 6 weeks and worked over 120 hours. During October through March, a large influx of snowbirds always come back to work seasonally, so there is definitely no cap on the amount you can work...

    Requesting Off

    You can make as many requests as you want. Just remember, you're still paying rent every week and they will take it out of as many paychecks as they have to until it's paid. You don't get paid much, so getting docked extra rent money on consecutive paychecks will leave you hurting.

    CP Buses

    I was only late because of a bus once, and my managers knew ahead of time that it was late because it broke down. They were very understanding and I (and other cast members on the bus) did not receive a half point. I can't say that's the case for everyone, just my particular managers at the...

    Disney College Summer Work Oppertunity?

    They do, but it's only for alumni of the college program. You might be able to work something out with your school depending on your major though. It can't hurt to ask.

    CP Buses

    The buses make stops at each apartment complex (except Patterson which shares a stop with Chatham). The routes are different for each bus though. Vista is the most central location for everything except one of the outlets, which is closer to The Commons. Vista has Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's...

    Requesting Off

    It's possible, although timing is pretty important. If you know the specific dates you're going to want to take off, put in a Hub request as soon as you know and at least 2 weeks beforehand. It's not guaranteed that they will honor the request, but it's best to give them really advanced notice...

    Attractions Question

    Those are park operations positions and usually are part of an area. Beauty and the Beast, for example, is in Hollywood Hills which has Rock and Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror and Fantasmic. If you get assigned a role at Tower or Coaster, you will probably also learn audience control, so you'll...

    Weird Housing Question

    If there's an arrival date, that means many people will be leaving a few days beforehand in every complex. It would be no different if you were arriving in May. The apartment complexes are always occupied, people just come and go in phases. And for the record, Vista is not as bad as people...
