ok, I know this is wrong on so many levels and I agree with everyone who has posted BUT there is another side to the story.
Being a CM is not a well paid job, it is basically on the same pay grade as restaurants in the real world (outside the Disney bubble) Many CMs are on short term contracts or have had their hours reduced. Most CM's live in rented multi person house shares.
MAYBE this CM is doing these unofficial tours as the only way to pay her rent , as her hours at Disney dont pay enough to cover her rent and bills. Maybe she knows what she is doing is wrong and knows she risks but the risk (to her) is worth it , if these unofficial tours give enough money to pay the rent and continue living in Florida and working at Disney.
Yes we all know she is violating her contract with Disney, but who are we to judge the decisions someone makes when they are doing whatever they can to pay the rent?
She can get another job then if that is the case. You can't break the rules of the company you work for because you aren't making enough. That's never acceptable. If she is part time or season with Disney there are many other places that also offer part time in the area and you can manage both. My friend worked at Disney and Legoland in the summers to make extra cash and I have many friends who work at both Universal and Disney. There are other options besides doing something that is a fire on spot offense.
