Hoppers?

[kghbandgeek]

Hello. I just got accepted for Fall 2011 as a Hopper. I know what this role is about and I'm STOKED I got it, but I haven't seen anyone else with this role on here... So, are there any of you out there?

Or.. does anyone know of anyone else that has DONE the hopper job in the WDW CP? I am super anxious to find out more about what I may/probably will be doing. I know you don't find out until you get there, but what are some of the specific possibilities?

If you could point me in the direction of someone who knows, please do?

My roomie in my first program was a hopper, and she worked at Wide World of Sports. I know she really liked it because, at her location, there weren't too many cps, so they were close. She also did different roles, but they were all at the same complex, so she didn't feel like she was being sent all over the place, having to meet new people. I know she did concessions for qsfb, and she was mostly main entrance/in the ticket booth I think, but she did have a few days doing custodial. It seems really fun, since you're always doing something new.

I'm thinking about the hopper too, only I'm worried that doing something new everyday would be too stressful? Would they train you in every area?

one of my roommates is a hopper at Disney Quest at DTD. He started off as custodial and now he is training to do attractions. So i guess its anything they want you to do! Plus most people who are hoppers don't work at the main parks for the most part. So most likely you will be working at something smaller like DQ or at one of the resorts or water parks. So it should be interesting!
