A good place to work if you don't need to support yourself.
Entertainment Costuming Cast Member (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – January 11, 2013
A typical day at work can go from relaxed to stressful within seconds. My job in particular is to cater to costumed characters' needs. That are not a very thankful group of people. The entertainment department is referred to as Disney High because that is the level of maturity 90% of the time. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the people who – more... go out of their way to make things difficult. The most enjoyable part is seeing happy guests watch a successful show. – less

Learning to work and play
in-store sales (Former Employee), Anaheim, CA – January 9, 2013
Working at the Disneyland Resort taught me many things; how to properly guest service, patience, and work life balance. As one might imagine working at the "Happiest Place on Earth" is VERY focused on guest servicing. The guest is always right and it is important to go out of your way to make sure they leave happy. Management here is very attentive – more... to their cast members and I liked that. The biggest challenge I faced at this job was a work life balance. While working at the Resort I learned that whatever problems you are facing outside of work cannot be visible once you are on stage because it affects not only how you service your guests but their perception of the Resort. If the cast member is not happy it shows and that is unacceptable. Overall working at the Disneyland Resort was a great learning experience for my life at the time. – less

Fantastic management and knowledgeable supervisors.
Propmaker (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA – January 9, 2013
Pros: some of the perks in that industry is the food and beverages!
Cons: cold working conditions and the job gets finished too soon.
The days are 12 hours and we learned about rail cars.The management has been fantastic as far as delivering material and supplying tool and equipment.The wok was at an old Railyard and came with its share of hazards.How satisfying to know that the wok you do will be seen by everyone watching The Lone Ranger movie.

The Happiest Place on Earth
Disneyland Characters (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – January 8, 2013
Pros: free admission to disneyland park
Cons: the pay isn't enough to live off of
The Disney company is just so magical. I come to work with a smile on my face and end it with a smile n my face. You learn a lot about other people and how parents raise their children. The hardest part about my job is knowing that the pay isn't enough, and my body can break easily in my costumes. The most enjoyable part of my job is making magic and – more... knowing that I made many people happier than before they met me. – less

Great company
Youth Education Series Facilitator (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – January 2, 2013
They are an amazing company to work for if you like Disney. Benefits are great for full time employees. They pay can be low but it more than balances itself out with the fun and rewards from working at Disneyland. Not only getting to be in the park to make the guest experience a more magical thing, but also the benefits of being able to come into the – more... park as a guest whenever you like. – less

Magical place to work
Cast Member (Current Employee), Houston, TX – January 1, 2013
A wonderful place to work, everyday you'll feel like a kid. A typical day is fun, and full of new guest that you get to make feel like a star. Being able to get on little guest level and watch as they experience everything for the first time is the best part of the job.

Not too great
Core Trainer, Lead (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – December 12, 2012
They tend to remind you that you are replaceable. Not too great if you are in school because they have mandatory availability during your finals which makes things more hectic.

Fun and friendly work environment
Photographer (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – December 8, 2012
Pros: fun and friendly work environment
Cons: no full time positions offered and very low pay
Disney is a fun job to have if you don't expect much from them in reference to salary and hours offered. I enjoyed my job there but I could not afford to dedicate all my time to them, which was required, if they could not insure that I have a certain amount of hours per week. The pay is very low for the level of responsability. The interaction with – more... the guests and other Cast Members is what makes working for them worth it. I loved the experience and would work for them under different circumstances. – less
