Marathon Weekend 2019

[run.minnie.miles]

SAFD: This is a fun question! I think I’d like to be Belle for 1 day, just to experience some of the special moments with kids that the characters must have!
I would love to be a tour guide. I’m probably most qualified for Behind the Seeds, but would love to know enough about MK to do one of those!

I constantly look for Sommelier jobs at Disney. I actually applied for an open Sommelier position at Disney Shanghai, but didn't get the job. I want to believe it was because I didn't speak Mandarin, but I am sure that was just a small factor, haha.

 

[TCB in FLA]

SAFD: one of the parade dancers. I have unfortunately aged out of that job but a girl can dream.

More realistic job would be guest service. I enjoy problem solving (ie what happened to my fast passes) but not sure I could deal with the entitlement factor (ie you lost my fast passes, therefore you need to comp my entire vacation and I’m going to make a scene until you do).

SAFD:

SAFD: Waving at boatloads of people setting off for the happiest cruise at IASW, but wearing ear plugs, because who could listen to the song over and over?

This, but without the earplugs.
It perfect because I'm at a ride I love but I don't have to interact with people.

SAFD: I was going to audition as a face character when I was in college but didn’t because what I would be making would pretty much pay for the gas to get there and back. So that would be fun. Or one of the dancers in a show or parade.

SAFD: I love this question because I can easily think of multiple answers! I would have to say my top choices would be Tinkerbell during Happily Ever After or to work in Bippity Boppity Boutique making everyone into princesses. If I had any sort of talent I would love to be in the Festival of Fantasy parade or a performer in Festival of the Lion King. I have always said that if I wasn't a nurse I would want to be a travel agent who planned Disney vacations since it is one of my favorite hobbies!

 

[lahobbs4]

SAFD: This is a tough one for me! My husband has always said that he wants to mow grass at Disney. Seriously. Bless him

I would want to be a performer in Festival of the Lion King. 1. I am not qualified. 2. I love that soundtrack so much and wouldn't mind hearing it every day 3. No talking to the public, just smiling at them.

My husband has brought this up to me a few times because I plan trips for others all the time. I can't do it though because I'm not really a people person and absolutely detest being on the phone. Maybe I should just charging family and friends lol.

 

[PrincessV]

SAFD: I can't think of a single front-facing role I'd want! Is there such a position that doesn't deal with Guests? That's what I want.

I swear this summer just seems worse than usual. This is my 5th FL summer and it just seems really oppressive this year.

I hear ya - it's my 27th FL summer (more than that if I count the summers I spent visiting my dad in South FL), and I agree. My Sat. long run started out decent, but I had to call it at mile 8.5 and finish my 11 indoors. Just brutal. But I suspect I say this every September, lol!

 

[Disney at Heart]

Join me up in the booth of IASW waving at people as they set off on their cruise; we'd never have to actually speak to them! (ear plugs at your discretion)

 

[kleph]

SAFD: monorail driver. actually got to ride in the front when i was a kid. best ride in the park.

Yes! Join the IASW booth waver club! We don't deal with guests at all, we just wave at them!

 

[leholcomb]

I've already had my perfect front of house position (Main St Bakery (pre-Starbucks) and Cone Shop). My goal is to get back there someday but as a behind the scenes industrial safety professional. I'm laying the ground work now so fingers crossed i get there at some point.

Me too! I still have my Monorail co-pilot license that they would give you.

 

[SarahDisney]

I don't think anyone would let me drive a monorail. The state of NY won't even let me drive a car. (In their defense, that's because I refuse to retake my driving test)

 

[Chaitali]

I think photopass photographer would be a great option for me

 

[UNCBear24]

SAFD: I would follow in my son's footsteps from his time in the college program and drive a truck at Kilimanjaro Safari, like he did.

Ooh, I second this!

SAFD: Safari or VIP tour guide!

 

[Dis_Yoda]

SAFD: Boat Operator at Pirates of the Caribbean or the person that sets off the spitting camel in Adventureland.

So, like it's September already! We are like about 4 months to go, I honestly can not believe how time has flown. Fall running (maybe, knock on heat and humidity & I guess where you live) will be upon us soon & then I'm crossing fingers for a mild winter, none of that -20 like right before marathon this year!
