Do CPs get scheduled overtime? What is the pay difference for OT? Is there time and a half for working recognized holidays?

CPs most certainly get scheduled overtime. Especially during the holidays. And there is no pay difference, it's the same as working regular hours.

My parents are probably coming to visit me over spring break. If I put in for it like the DAY that I first get onto HUB, would I pretty much be able to get that week (like 4-5 days) off?

There are no guarentees but the sooner you put in the request the better. I think you can get the time off if someone is willing to pick up your shifts. But spring break is a peak time so you may have to work overtime

Actually when I did my Cp and worked overtime we got paid more money. I want to say it was like 10 dollars and hour once you went into overtime. That's mainly why I had no problem working over forty hours or twelve hour days lol.

On the WDW CP website it says overtime pay is time and a half.

You just have to wear something that is long sleeved. As long as no one can see it you're fine

Just had my phone interview!!

Think it went ok, she just wanted to check if I would be ok with long hours in hot conditions lol.

Wasn't as in-depth as I thought it might be so I'm quite pleasantly surprised

The nice lady I spoke to said I should hear in about a week whether or not they want to meet me face to face.

I CAN'T WAIT!

People can have tatooes and work at Disney. They will just put you in a role where you can wear long sleeves.

What bank is within walking distance or on the bus route for CPs--Bank of America, Chase?

 

[wll.henderson1]

okay thanks cause they kept on asking questions about it wondering how big it is and what is it. I just didn't want it to affect my chances of getting in.

 

[Saxsoon]

Is there another interview after you are accepted or this the only one?

You only have one interview

There is a suntrust @ wal-mart, and the bus takes you there. There is also the option to sign up with Vista credit union, however they do charge a nominal fee to be park of their credit union.

When iw as there, I used Amsouth(now is regions) and I had my paychecks direct deposited into my bank account.

I went down there without a car, and never had an issue with money, just got cash back when i went to wal-mart if i wanted to have some. I NEVER even used an atm! although, i think there is a vista credit union one at Chatham. and i know there is a VCU @ disney university behind the magic kingdom.

Overtime is time and a half.

What they were talking about is pay on holidays. Full time people get paid holiday pay which is basically double their regular rate.

I'm not sure if part time people get that too.

Seasonal cast members and CP's do not get that.

 

[Joanna71985]

Is there another interview after you are accepted or this the only one?

Just the one interview.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

I'm sorry but I don't understand what time and half means. Is it like it you get you're regular pay an hour plus half of your regular pay?
