After getting hired in, you start off with CR or CR-25 Casual Regular and work towards 25 hours, but then I could be wrong and get 16 hours.

Part-time: 25-30 hours.

Full-time: 30 to 40 hours.

It took me a while to get the info.

21 years and 22 years next month. :)

More than 40 hrs. when we are high count. Anything after 40 hrs. is OT. Full time CMs are always given more hrs. due to senority - if they request on prefs.

I got hired as a full timer so that means 30-40 hrs? I've been so curious because I got the call at the end of January and I really know next to nothing. I know what park I'm working in and I know I'm full time and that's about it. I believe I get my start date on Friday-my recruiter told me that when I put my paperwork in I get the date for Traditions which will be my official first day.

I'd appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Please, my friends call me Patchy! I didn't see such a welcome, though I suppose I might have missed it. Of course, I'm just happy to be here!

Whoa, you hired in FT? :confused: That's unusual. What L O B? I thought only managers & up hired in FT, yet what would I know. Thanks Syndrome for the phrase. ;)

Maybe that's true at DLR but not at WDW. I know a number of CMs that started out FT. I trained with someone that started FT and the only reason I started as a CR is because there were no FT positions open at that exact moment in time.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

And we're happy to have you here, too. If I come across one of the marsupials I will definitely give him an ear twist. ;)

In ODV, allot of the crew was hired at CR-25 and after 3 years, you can go to Part-time unless they need major amounts of help, FT might be offered.

As darph says; "your blonde is showing." Duh, I knew this & recall when you hired in giving us this info. :o: Shorty, what in the world would I ever do without you? Yes, I really mean this!

Welcome to SGT Patchy. :) You will soon learn to ignore me.

When I interviewed, the recruiter told me that there were no FT positions available and he gave me 24 hours to decide if I wanted PT. I thought it over, talked it over and scrambled my budget and said yes-hoping that I wouldn't have to be PT for long. So, I called him back and accepted. The next day he called and told me a FT slot had opened and I accepted.

I don't know what L.O.B. means...but I'm working attractions at typhoon lagoon.
