You obviously need a tour guide. How much trouble do you kids want to get into?

Normally I'd love to say "lots" but I want to get down to WDW as quickly as possible.

Everybody: What are some important WDW phone numbers to know? I have Casting and WDW Dine in my phone and I know there must be more numbers that I'll want to have handy but I don't know them. I'll find out the important numbers I'll need for work soon enough, it's the ones for play I'm mostly looking for.


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.

Oh well. I was looking forward to revisiting my misspent youth.

When you get your hiring packet you will get a list of important phone numbers.

An important number is 1-407-WDW-CAST
That is for all Cast Dining reservations, resort reservations, etc.

1-407-824-2222 is WDW Switchboard and they can connect you with anything or anyone.

All right people, East Coast Meet in Shorty's moving truck, or the back of his van, whichever has more room. But we gotta hurry before he has to turn in the truck. :D:

Hobie - is the 100' tall cigarette on the same highway as the Cadillacs with their noses buried in the dirt? Can't remember the name of the town that is close to. Is it on Route 66? We made several trips back and forth across the country in the 60s and again in 1981. I kinda miss those road trips.
Do you ever get rock fever, or do you got off the island frequently enough so that it's not a problem?

Thanks. Those help. I wasn't aware I'd get a list of important numbers but am glad to know I do.

Wow, I'm sorry I missed this thread. That is very, very cool!


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Congratulations and condolences!

Let me know if there's anything I can do, explain, or translate that might help.

Full-time slots should be opening up soon as the crop of CPers thins itself out. And remember you don't have to wait six months for a transfer if it's an upgrade like CR to FT.

:congrats:

PM me with your schedule and we'll find a day that works for us both.

I'll give you the version with extra time on Main Street. :D:

They'll give you your Traditions schedule the day you go in for the paperwork. It's likely to be soon, as there are lots of Traditions programs and a big need for more help.
