Maybe a TOT speil won't work well on JC but parts of the JC speil work well on the bus :cool:

Well I know that face characters cannot pick up hours anyplace else, for obvious reasons. I work hours under two differnt unions though so it would seem odd that ya'll can't.

I can confirm it. I've heard from managers, trainers and coordinators in buses and monorails that that is the case. Being one to come to Disney to be a Cast Member, that being all I cared about, one of the first things I enquired about was trying out other jobs. Teamsters won't allow it. They make sure it's in the contract. Fine.

As do parts of HM, ToT, Star Tours, The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Honey I Shrunk the Bus, Test Track, Maelstrom and Illuminations.

Yesterday, I went into Casting and was told that I would know in two weeks whether my transfer went through.

This morning, I received a call. I feel lied to, much the same way your parents "lie" to you when they tell you Santa brought those presents under the tree.

On December 9, 2007, I will hang up my purple pants forever, and will don a safari hat. Now, you will be able to find me at any time.

Congrats, man! Best of luck at your new role!


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.

Keep moving forward

Congrats! Now I kinda wish we were going to WDW instead of DLR next month, but just a little ;)

Hi BW - CONGRATULATIONS!! We'll be at AK on the 10th of Dec and will be dashing to KS at early entry. I hope they'll let us hold at the loading dock for our favorite ex-Bus Driver.
Are you going to keep your Big Wallaby name? It's probably more appropriate now than ever before, even if there are no Kangas or Roos out on Safari.
Get your spiel all polished up and learn all the animals so you can entertain us when we come to visit you. Wooohooo!! See you soon.
P.S. I hope you won't get bored going around and around in big circles on Safari chasing after poachers.
