I like my job, but it's still a job. I am a human resources manager who may throw in an application to Disney within the next year.
Disney is not the only place I am applying, but just on my list of many possibilities. It's not even on the top of my list as I would prefer not to commute an hour.
One of my good childhood friends works for Universal HR. I also know a few people who work at Disney and Universal in various (non office) positions. My adult son has friends who work at Disney as well. One of them is a "friend" to Jasmine and Pocahontas. So close you can say they are the same person.
Disney is a company that I have written about often throughout my bachelor's and master's program. Even loving your job doesn't take away work stressors. My mom just retired from her job in retail and would never consider working retail again, even if it's at Disney. So I am just curious what job a retired couple would consider at Disney.
When my dad first retired he drove the resort launches and the ferry boat on the seven seas lagoon, but complications with cataract surgery and a detached retina forced him to transfer. He then worked on Main Street in the shops. He enjoyed it, but they sometimes had him outside on the pin cart for hours or in the firehouse with no AC. My father would never complain, but I thought there were CPs or other younger CMs who would have been better suited for these locations. He also injured his elbow lifting boxes in the stock room. Disney is a magical place, but it is still work.
