degrassi26,
The Mansion was pretty cool. It ruined the magic, but hey, working at WDW does that too you. Everynight, two of us would have to walk through the entire ride picking up loose items dropped by guests, which was pretty cool. Not having to smile was great, b/c there were those days...And if you're a CP, you're definitely working the afternoon/closing shift. You get to walk through Adventureland in your Mansion costume with no guests in the park.
binigrl, Mansion is number 2 on the most requested, right after Tower of Terror.
Joanna, thanks! Always nice to meet people AFTER you get a picture with them.
Stitch_lover, it's not that difficult to get into the CP. Just make sure you quality for it. The difference between regular program and advanced is the advanced is more of an internship with you being able to get management or actual work experience, unless you're thinking of advantage, which is just working over the summer in addition to the semester. Also, while the pay per hour isn't that much, as a CP you're guaranteed 30 hrs. If you make your lunch and don't go out and spend it, you'll actually save some money. Overtime is where it's at.
