Hah, it doesn't look bad it all! It's better that you try and find out info ahead of time, so you're not surprised later on!

As for your questions, assuming they have to do with the College/CareeStart program:

Time off: The domestic programs require your full availability, and with that, they may or may not be able to grant time off requests. After you arrive, you can submit a request online over the company's internet portal, The Hub. Within a few days of submitting the request, you'll have a response; it largely depends on the current staffing levels in your area. If your request is denied, you can still give away/trade shifts with willing Cast Members in your area.

Hotel discounts: After you've completed your first official day with the company, Traditions, you'll be able to book discounts via The Hub. Upon availability, you can book a room for yourself with up to 50% off the rack rate, 40% for your friends and family (if you're not staying in the room).

Hope that helps!

I have a question (somewhat related to the title of the thread) that deals with having family/friends use your main gate pass to enter the park.

For those of you who have had family/friends use your main gate pass, did you accompany them the entire time they were in the park? I know on the usage guidelines it says that for non-family members, we are supposed to accompany them the entire time. I kind of understand WDW's rule for this - I figured it might be because they don't want complete strangers to use our pass because we are responsible for them. Just wanted to hear other people's thoughts.

I stayed with them almost every time. There was one trip they made down when I was not able to get any days off work, so I got them in to the park then they drove me to work and used their tickets they had gotten to get back in.

Well I was able to take some time off when my family came in from Texas I only took maybe three days though when they were there a week. I still had to pay rent you know. Then I took an other 5 days and went the Mytrle Beach in Sept after the slow down and had no problem with the request.
