Thanks for all of the well wishes! I've worked a few shifts now and have really enjoyed the work. If a position in my field of expertise (bus transit) opens at WDW, I'd certainly try for it and make a career move.

Right now I don't get any discounts in WDW. As a seasonal CM, I only get a discount in the Disney Store. Once I become permanent part-time, I get a few free park tickets for myself and family per year. I don't remember the details off hand.

Good news! WDW is indeed currently hiring Bus Drivers, both FT and CR. A Florida CDL is preferred, but not required.

Visit http://www.waltdisneyworld.jobs/ to apply.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm looking for something in management. Safety, operations, planning, etc.

Tom, Page (PM) incoming.


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?

Tom, Best to start as a driver and then apply when a GSM position opens up. Most management roles require time in the area. All bus GSM's have to have a CDL. In my training class, we had a GSM training with us, (BW, it was Andie)

I appreciate the information. Perhaps I'll stop by casting when I come down there after Thanksgiving.
