Stupid Guest Tricks

My guess would be, so long as you either:

1) Make it outside often enough in rotation,

2) Leave slowly enough, or

3) Go directly from the attraction to the Tunnel

then light shouldn't be a problem.

But then, I could be wrong. It has happened once before.

You can't tease us with this and NOT share when you were wrong that one time!

To be honest, I got very lucky. I had attractions experience was well as crowd control so I got into Rock'n"roller coaster as a newbie to Disney. This was based entirely on 5 years experience at Seaworld dealing with people, attractions and crowds. It also helped that I made a lot of friend then while working as a "grunt" outside, so i can tell you.. from talking to people and my own 2 years experience the highly sought after spots by the seniority crowd are all indoors. So unless you have enough experience to rival them or at least make yourself worthwhile your gonna be having to deal with working your way up.

I worked RNRC, I was also a double to Tower of Terror (My preferred) as well as Fantasmic. I rarely got called just based on my previous experience, but I didn't come into the WDW family until I was 20 so I did get very lucky.

So pick and choose if you can. Take the lesser of the evils your offered and deal until you've got the option to move up.

It depends on how long you have worked there.

When you are young and full of energy you want the prestige rides, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, etc.

When you are older and wiser you want rides that never breakdown and don't draw a lot of attention.

Does WDW employ Engineers? Specifically Electrical or Systems Engineers?

I'm getting kind of sick of these Michigan winters :p

Lots and lots..... so does Disneyland, but FL cost of living is a whole lot better.

Thanks! Guess I should start trying now then :)

Thanks! Yeah I can imagine California being a little more expensive than Florida! :p:

I've hear that things cost less in Florida than in my home state as well. Not exactly sure why that is, as both seem to have similar climates, though Florida is subject to hurricanes. Then again, we here in the Golden State have earthquakes, though not as often and usually not in such damaging levels, so that might be part of the reason...

Strange as it may sound, Michigan seems to have a very high cost of living, or at least it used too. The house I bought in 2005 is a little over 1000 square feet, and cost about $145000! Granted that was at the peak of the housing "bubble". I remember reading that in places like Huntsville Al, that you could get a 2000 or even a 2500 square foot home for that price! I don't even live in a swanky neighborhood.
