Disney Job

[#1donaldfan]

If you had a chance to retire and go to Disney for a job, what would your ideal / dream job be? I think I'd be a good Goofy !!!!

I Would Love To Work As An Event Planner For Disney. Planning Cinderella Weddings - And All Tpyes Of Disney Functions... From Cake To Flowers
Fun...............
Working For Disney Would Be Fun- But Could Get Boring Doing The Same Character For Years
So I Need Change-
The Events Would Be My Cup Of Tea

[goofysbabe]

I love this post - I would love to be a park greeter - be there to tell people where to eat, what to see and do. Help plan their day.

[AwPhooey]

I've always wanted to be a monorail pilot/captain/driver. It seems like it would be a fun job, plus you'd get to meet and talk to a lot of people while they ride up front.

tiaramom, a friend of mine works for WDW in the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings area and she loves it. She says it can get stressful at times, but she enjoys helping make a bride's dream wedding come true!

God thats a hard one I think I would like to try everything (except the cleaning after people)before really picking one thing.I think I would like to be in the parks.I have been in a character custom (party coordinator at Chuck E.Cheese)before so I know how hot it gets and how some people like to abuse u while in it so I would pass on that one.It would be cool if they could rotate u around every few weeks so that u wouldnt get tired of doing the same thing all the time.

I guess beinga character would be fun, being able to see all the smiles you bring to children and adults alike would be awesome. I also think it could be fun to work at one of the resorts, that way there is less chance of the parks losing their magic for me.

Imagineer!!!
If I couldn't be an Imagineer... I'd love to be a character. I'd also love to be a Keys to the Kingdom Tourguide or work on the ToT or HM.

In this order:
1.Monorail Captain
2.Ride operator on any of the rides.
3.Security. Can you imagine being able to go in the areas not for the public.
4.Anything in Epcot.

Love this question. It is on my life goals list to work for disney some day.
I would love to do anything in Epcot. Maybe the people greeter thing, somthing in innoventions or the photo shop.
Or maybe waitress in 50's prime time cafe or liberty tree tavern, etc. I had to think about that one but on the last trip we had a nice conversation with our server in 50's and she said she makes more $ working that job than she would make having a job using her college degree. She said the hours are great, too. And she can go to the parks on her days off.

Without a doubt, I would want to drive the boats running the FW/WL/CR/MK route. That would be my dream job

[martinfamily5]

Mine would be a greeter at MK. Welcoming people to the happiest place on earth, how fun. DH would drive a monorail. We frequently talk about when we retire, doing this.

[McGoofy]

This is such a great thread!

I told my DH a long time back that I would just love to work at the front desk of a Disney resort. I know lots of people complain because I often see that just in the few times a year that I am at a resort. However, I could deal with that. I think it would be the coolest when you were able to give complimentary upgrades. The front desk just really appeals to me, but oddly enough the fronts desks of any hotels where I live have absolutely no appeal to me!

When my DS gets annual check-ups at the doctor, the doctor always writes his answer down when he asks him what he wants to be when he grows up. On the following year, the doctor compares the answers that DS has said before. DS is 9 now, and when he went back last time the doctor told me that DS' answer of "I want to be a Disney Imagineer" has been his same answer since he was 4 years old!! He just may pursue that dream! I would encourage it all the way. (Maybe mom and dad can get into the parks for free!!)

[Diznee4Me]

Another vote for Imagineer, but if my DD usurps that dream, I would love to be a tour guide - behind the scenes, overall historian - for all of WDW.

[martinfamily5]

My DD17 wants to be an architect (sp?) and I keep telling her that that would be perfect. She can be an architect for Disney. She is certainly not opposed to the idea.

[poeticeclipse]

Funniest thing! My DH and I had this conversation this morning.

He said 1- Security 2- Monorail Pilot 3- Personal Trainer at one of the Gyms

I said 1- Face character 2- Imagineer 3- Travel Specialist. Help people plan their trips!

[RockChalkKimball]

Retiring to Florida and working at WDW is my plan in exactly 13 years.... I have given this alot of thought and it will probably change over time. Right now I want to be the Fairy Godmother in the parade at MK!!! I think it would also be fun to be a concierge at one of the resorts. I think it would be fun to help people enjoy their trips.

[May524]

I worked front desk at the resorts during my college program and I would LOVE to go back. My dream job would be doing special events! I think that would be so awesome to plan all the details and make sure everything is "magical". I'd also love to drive the monorail

[PlutoLover]

I would LOVE to be PLUTO!! but I think I would hate being in that costume on hot days

My dream job at Disney would be to work on either The Haunted Mansion or Tower of Terror, in my opinion they are the BEST DRESSED CM's I'm a huge Halloween fan so I would fit perfect in these roles

After I got tired of that I'd like to "Plan the Magic" whether it was a wedding or a birthday party or a family that needed a magical trip planned. I LOVE to be the planner amongst my friends and family

If I thought I could handle living down there I would already be there with hopefully one of my dream jobs. I'm a New Englander so I don't think it's in my near future

I don't even have a Disney Store near me to go work at

[Figgyluv03]

Well, I already did one dream job there....Lifeguard Hostess!

But I would love do the weddings, or work at the Haunted Mansion!

[Aggie97]

I know it's kind of boring, but I'd love to work in the WDW marketing/communications department. (I've always done that for companies in much less creative and exciting industries .) I would love to develop and implement marketing, branding, and promotional campaigns, and also create WDW brochures, signage, print material, newsletters, mailings, web sites, whatever!!!
