DISNEY CAST MEMBER WORK SCHEDULE HOW TO
They have this spreadsheet going of ways to reach out and support, including how to send Cast Member a care package for their pets.Ĭastgiving is giving free Thanksgiving baskets this year to current and former Cast Members. The group encourages others to hire fellow Cast Members for services and to highlight those who need help. It is essentially a guide to small shops and services provided by Cast Members who remain furloughed or have been laid off.Īnother worthy Facebook group to join is Disney Cast Members Pay It Forward. you give days you can work do not make other plans for those days.Start window shopping to benefit our CM friends!Ĭourtesy of Tiffany Mink, you can even check out a lengthy Google Spreadsheet. Also know now you will work Christmas holidays as well. and all holidays I can guarantee have been asked for off. Being new for days off you are lowest on totem pole. Schedulers make the schedules based on that.You cannot negotiate well if i need monday off can i work friday instead. This is how it works : you give them I can work these days. Honestly thanksgiving weekend you will be working if you are hired by then. You will have to take points on your record card if you cannot give scheduled shifts away. You gave them days you can be there and if you cannot make it its not their problem. To be honest? trips are not Disney's problem. wait until they call you and let them know your days have changed. If you call your recruiter and change your days that could change you being offered a job. They start ramping up cast for holiday season. Typically Sept is a big hire month because its slower and easier to train people during this time. Yes it does happen that you are never called in the 6 months and have to re-apply. usually yes you will get a call but is depends on needs of the parks.

No one knows when or if casting will call you. That was a lot of questions! Please let me know if you have any answers for me! I absolutely love Disney and am very anxious to do a good job there Being part time and new, are they going to insist I cannot take this trip, even if I make up the hours, or are they ok with it if it's planned in advance and I work other holidays/busy times? I want to know before I buy a non-refundable ticket. I'm trying to go away for 4 days during Thanksgiving as well. Is it even a factor that I should worry about, i.e., will I probably not even be hired by then? Should I try to reach out before I'm hired to let them know that I'll be gone that week, or wait until right when they let me know that I've been accepted?Ĥ. I know for sure that I have a trip I absolutely can't cancel from September 26-October 4th. Also, do they usually have you work days outside of your "full availability" days as well?ģ. I wanna make it Sunday-Tuesday) Is there a way to do that before I start working? I don't want them to get angry that I ask to change it right away once I'm hired. I gave them an availability that I'm anxious to change before I get my first schedule. When do you think I will be actually hired to start working? Is it possible or common that I will never be hired and have to re-apply after 6 months?Ģ. I had a successful interview for attractions last month and was put on the waitlist.ġ. I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with.
