There are buses that run until after PI closes. There are College Programmers that work at PI so I believe they run til about 2-3 hours after they close. But just to warn you the first few bus loads when it closes are packed!!!

I'll reiterate that ten times over. They are packed beyond belief and can (and have) left people behind. It has probably improved since admission to PI is now a cast member benefit every day of the week, though (hopefully the crowds are dispersed evenly throughout the week). If anyone intends on leaving PI around closing, keep in mind that you may need to wait for the next bus (or hoof it back to Vista if you live there, it's within a walkable mile if you're sober).

Last DTD CP bus leaves cast services at 3:52 in the morning as of this writing.

How are the gyms at Chatham and Vista? Do they have ellipticals? Are they always crazy busy, or empty?

Pretty sure they have ellipticals. They're pretty good in size, and I know the one at Chatham was seldom busy. I saw more activity at the Commons/Vista gyms, but there was never really a crowd problem or a lack of machines at most times.

i have heard about a discount off at disney quest! but is only around select dates. and they had stated that you would have to check the "hub" for total details....but i haven't heard anything YET about any discounts regaurding PI. but that doesn't mean that there aren't any.

hey there! what dept did you apply in?

 

[csaribay]

Cast Member admission for those of age (18+ for Comedy & Adventurer's Clubs, 21+ for everything else) at Pleasure Island is complimentary. Present your company ID.

Most of the merchants in the DTD area offer the standard merchandise & food and beverage discount(s), which you'll find out once you're down on the program. The AMC Theaters on the West Side do offer a discount, but it's not a substantial one (off peak ticket prices are cheaper). As far as DisneyQuest goes, Cast Member admission is discounted, but that's a varying benefit.

...and welcome wendydrlng!

 

[wendydrlng]

I applied in hospitality and merchandise, but i'm really hoping to get placed in hospitality!

I was just wondering how long everyone waited for their acceptance letter. Because i sent my role checklist and application about 5 and a half weeks ago, and I just received a letter saying that they are still reviewing my qualifications, and it might take another 4 weeks. Im just confused because I emailed WDW college recruiting, and they told me they mailed my results about 5 days ago.
