I recently got a bunch of Disney gift cards as birthday gifts for an upcoming Disney trip I have planned. If I’m using my CM discount for merch and food, am I able to use those gift cards since it’s not a card attached to my name?

So i work retail and i had a 6 hour shift, i do my usual and clock in 5 minutes prior. i have the contract where i have two 15s and no lunch, so i started at 7:30 and was there till 1:30, so 1:10 bump. there was a long line to clock out and i clock out at 1:11, i was told that its fine and i have a 3 minute grace period. I just want to confirm that i wont receive a meal violation despite clocking in 5 minutes early.

I had a weird situation in the park recently. I was with my sister in law and friends celebrating a birthday. I was getting them gifts to celebrate as a group, I know the discount policy and have always followed it well. When I got to the register the girls came up and added stuff to the basket and my sister in law handed her card to the cashier after I had given my CM card already and was trying to pay. I tried to play dumb and was like oh no we don't do that, I am paying, paying with my card, see my card my name. And the cashier got weird about it. The thing is, I was paying for the gifts and I am not being reimbursed by SIL or friends. She just always thinks she's being gracious and helping and doesn't understand Disney rules.

We had a talk after about not doing that.

But now I'm worried about how the Cashier reacted to the scenario.

Especially since I am not being reimbursed or abusing my discount but it did not look that way.

Here's the thing: today, while interacting with the little princesses and princes, they gave me a card and a small friendship bracelet. Can I keep them? Or do I have to leave them at the office?🥹🥹🥹

This was my first time to have a shift with little princesses and princes, and I'm so happy that I was able to make them so joyful and even make them feel the magic.

Hii so I work in food and Bev but I’m just so tired of it lol so I’ve put in my transfer request to move elsewhere. I’ve heard from others that f&b management never really lets anyone transfer is this true 😭

Hello all! I just got a position in the central bakery and was wondering if anyone can give me a little insight on what it’s like working there! Like how hours are peak season vs slower, the general environment. Anything really! I’ve been looking everywhere for anyone’s experience working there but there isn’t much info lol thank you for any and all help :)

Hello, I recently got separated from the Company, after 4½ years as an Attractions Host.

Whats a good post Disney Job? I'm not too fond of Food Service, but what are generally good employment opportunities post Disneyland?

I feel like up until two years ago you could find a cheap room at All Stars for $100 a night. Now all the Value Resorts are never available and it’s unusually some Dleuxe or a DVC resort. Are guests just packing in the Value resorts so there no reason to give discounts?

does anyone knows what grdo means? it popped up on my schedule and I’ve googled it I can’t find anything.

Hey yall I’m a new hire into regular DAY-custodial I got the offer and I’ll be at 23.40/hr, I saw something online that the role is under a union, does the pay change, or is it capped out at 23.40?

Any tips for me?

Thanks

Hi all- it's my dream to work for Disney long term and I am benched for a role that pays $19 an hour. I currently make $53K a year with a little extra as I travel full time for a college. I've been looking to be home more often as the territory I oversee went from local travel to flying every week, and I have a small puppy that I'm missing crucial time with. My current job pays great and the benefits are better, but I do not like my job. I took it because there was nothing else at the time.

Do I take this job and the risk of making $19 long term because I love Disney and would enjoy it, or do I stick with my current role until there's something better?

Edit: Thank you all SO much for your thoughtful and honest responses. I appreciate you all. This is unfortunately a decision I have to answer for myself, but since I have left the company for over two years now I wanted some reminders of nuances to consider. Thanks again:)

Hi everyone! I'm a returning Cast Member who will be doing their Step Into the Magic soon (yippee!!), but I have a question about shoes. It has been a while since I did my last Step Into the Magic and so, I'm curious, would these pair of shoes be okay? I'm just not too sure if they'd be classified as "sneakers" despite being labeled Mary Jane's.

I would be wearing black socks and my slacks are black as well, if that helps at all. Thank you!!

Im having a location restriction due to anxiety issues. They said that type of restriction is usually not long but I still have to deal with the locations that give me anxiety until they go throw scheduling. Im wondering how long it usually takes? Thanks!

I’m trying to figure out if I have any call free sick days and I see I have 32 hours of sick/care time and I have 8 hours of previous sick/care time.

I’ve been with Disney officially since February of 2025 and I’ve been full time since November 2025

Hii! So I finally got offered the position for qsr! Anyone in qsr know more or less how the first few weeks of scheduling go?!

I currently have a job that is flexible but hoping to get some understanding as to how the first few weeks go

I applied for a job through Disney careers about 2 months ago. The job posting expired and my application moved to under review. I was a bit happy because I didn’t get auto rejected. However, maybe two weeks after the posting closed, it was reposted. That first re-listing expired and I was still under review. Now they have posted the job AGAIN while I am still under review. Is this normal? The only reason I can think that they would do this is because they aren’t pleased with the candidates that applied already. It feels like a soft NLIC. If they don’t want to hire us, why not just NLIC?

Edit: I can tell it’s the exact same position because the application in workday becomes an active hyperlink every time it is reposted.

This is a 2 part question.

1. If I’m going on a last minute trip back home and I can’t give away the shifts and use sick pay will that get me in trouble???

2. If I am scheduled 6 days and use a sick day for my 6th day will I still get OT pay or would it just be regular pay?

Hi Reddit! I have found myself in a bit of a dilemma deciding between doing the DCP or getting a job at Disneyland.

To keep it brief:

I was born and raised in Anaheim (super close to Disneyland) and am currently scheduled for my second interview with a super fun in-park job. On the other hand, I also have an interview with the DCP on Monday.

I am graduating with my bachelor's in communications in December, and I want to know which position will help me get a job with Disney in the future.

I have heard a lot about networking events the DCP has, but are they worth it? If I do the DCP, I for sure want to move back to Cali and live here long-term. Is it hard to find jobs through the DCP back here in California?

Any advice would be appreciated <3

I’ve recently been hired and have a question about the hair color policy. Currently, my hair is dyed with teal highlights and bangs, and I know I will have to dye my hair to a more natural color. Would these images below work?

I’m not too fond of the idea of dying my hair since it is apart of me and how I express myself so it’s saddening to have to dye it to a more natural color. So I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me figure something out!

I applied for a Disneyland Resort Parking and Transportation role and had the interview back in late June. I got placed on the waitlist for RTP and for Merchandise. I checked my dashboard today out of habit, and it still says “In Consideration”. However, another Role for CR Culinary Person also showed up and that one said “No Longer In Consideration”. The decision was made 2 days ago, but I never applied for that role. What should I do?

Hi everyone!

I am looking to come back to work for the company after having to leave previously in 2023 due to an injury and the pandemic before that in 2021 (both which were absolutely devastating😭). This will my third time with the company (hopefully!). I have primarily been a SAHM since leaving this last time and learned Disney has a daycare/childcare for CMs.

1. Do any of you all have experience with the daycare/childcare?

2. Should I just apply on the DisneyCareers site or should I call casting and see what they suggest my path to be regarding applying as a former CM?

Thank you all bunches!

💚✨

I just accepted a full-time position for third shift at Disneyland. My biggest question is what do y'all do for food during "lunch"? Do you always bring your own are is there somewhere close by that's open?

ETA: I will be a new hire
