I'm so glad I was with all other IP CMs. We were all there for the same time. No negativity, thankfully. Seems things have changed. I always found a kind of solidarity with other CMs when we went places and got discount. Loved all my bargain basement goodies from cast connections. We called it something else though...I got a limited edition watch in perfect working order.

I love all my cast merchandise! Yeah, I heard some nice things about other cast member roles. I just think the cast in my location were very protective of their roles. I still loved it through and these were just a few things that happened over a long period of time.

The waitress part bothers me a lot. I am a server and I hold servers with really high expectations. I always tip my servers but if I ever experience an inadequate server, I will request a new one lol. Thats just not ok!

I'm thankful that a majority of the full time and part time cast members I worked with were very accepting and treated us as their own. Even though it was sort of a shitty location, they made it feel worthwhile. Also, I had a friend who worked at MK and he taught me how to navigate through the tunnels so I could come out the front like a "regular guest." It always made me anxious but it also seemed like the other folks down there understood I just went to Property Control and it'd be too much work to go alllllllll the way around again.

In one the DIS Unplugged episodes, the Universal Edition hosted by Craig, I remember him talking about similar stuff. I think he's worked both at Disney and Universal, and he was talking about how unfortunately Disney World seems to breed this weird cutthroat atmosphere among its employees. And he was saying it was a refreshing surprise to find this not to be the case when he started at Universal. I guess Universal encourages the family camaraderie that most people would assume would be present at Disney. (And no, I don't work for either company. I just found these stories to be consistent with what he was saying. Which is kind of sad.)
@ThatSoundsFun8 жыл бұрын
It is such a shame and I have also heard that Universal is actually a lot more of a positive place to work. When I visit now, I can really see it in their employees that they really enjoy working there!

I work in a Disney restaurant and I have colleagues who act like that when they have a cast member as a guest. The thing is you get 20 % off of your meal but the 18 % gratuity is automatically included. Lots of servers think since they get a tip either way they don't have to give you service anymore. Same with big parties (6 or more). I've had such horrible service once at Beaches and Cream after we revealed we're cast members, that in the end we decided not to use our discount just so the horrible server didn't get any tip. So yeah - I don't understand why you have to be so ride to your fellow cast members, unless they are really hard on you there's no reason to treat them like garbage.

That behavior is just so fucked up. I stupidly thought that when I was done with high school I wouldn't have to deal with people aching like snakes and causing drama for absolutely no reason. Like did they have to deal with people treating them badly when they were first starting off and if so they knew how it felt so why would they go turn around and treat someone else like that. Like some of them are literally aching like they are in second grade. Oh oh going to just not hand off the radio then straight up lie so that I can potentially get someone fired like really? This story is actually getting me heated lol I really wish I was there to tell them off and I'm really enjoying these series. I just found your channel and have been binge watching lol def new subbie
@ThatSoundsFun7 жыл бұрын
I know. It was really uncalled for. The only reason I could really think of why they would have done it was maybe because they wanted my hours as overtime or just didn't like any of the college kids. I didn't let it ruin my program though.

I’m a former ICP cast member from the UK too. Regarding entering the shop from the utilidor, I’ve done exactly the same thing although we weren’t shown to the door, we just went through of our own accord. It never occurred to me that this wouldn’t be allowed because we were never told? Once on stage we just had to hide our lanyards *shrug* so maybe he was actually being nice? This was back in 2008 though, so things might have changed!

+That Sounds Fun I've heard a few of these stories with full time cast members not liking CPers. I'd understand it with certain CPers who are to busy messing around but even then why screw with another member of the Disney staff like that? I guess that's just the way a job is.... you will always find that one person who would rather not be anywhere near you at any job.

I know how it feels to be treated differently when they find out you're a cast member. I've had super positive interactions and really negative ones. My most vivid memory was when a bus driver realized we were CMs, and wouldn't take us to TTC from Wilderness Lodge, because EPCOT was closed (We were only trying to get to the TTC lot!). He ended up slamming the door in our faces and driving away. :/

I worked at the magic kingdom a few years back I was a full time cast member I never had issues with the cps or seasonal cast member I never got why half the people in my area thought they took our hours I always just picked up shifts on the hub if I needed more hours and I treated everyone with kindness and so did the rest of the cast members in my area. I loved working there its to bad I had to quit and move back out of state due to family issues.
