How to land the part.
Be neither desperate nor nonchalant - super Disney fans fall into the
weirdo category, just be clean groomed wearing the minimum of make-up
going for the girl/boy-next-door look. Neither overdress nor slovenly -
jeans and t-shirt shows you don't care, formal wear is too much. A
button down shirt with conservative tie or conservative skirt and blouse
that represent business casual present the most attractive candidates.
Attire can hint at the position in mind - don't dress for a telemarketer
office if you are seeking groundskeeper. Most important - know where you
can best assist guests or staff from the get go.
You will take an online personality test before seeing a casting
director - needy drama queens seeking gossip need not apply. Be honest
in this self-assessment. I'm a helpful self-starter able to manage my
task priority without intervention but didn't score in the top - so my
advice here is best taken with a grain of salt, as I imagined myself
providing the services necessary to the cast member position while
answering the quiz. I did score an interview however.
You are best prepared for the interview when you have been considering
your little cog in the complex array of positions which Disney requires.
If you studied topiary with Yertz or woodcarving with Wilcox and want to
pursue such a career your opportunity to shine will present itself at
the interview. You will be able to be animated with an enthusiastic
smile after your gate keeper states "We don't have [what you applied
for] at this time. Do you see yourself elsewhere?" and here is where
most fail. "Oh, I'm flexible, I can do anything." They've seen a million
of 'em. Be specific like "Because I have a touch of OCD I find myself
motivated to be self-directed and detail oriented. I could enjoy Pixar
Pier or Avengers Campus silently busing tables and 20hrs. a week fits my
class schedule." which is usually followed by "Here's your manila
envelope, read through it before orientation tomorrow at 9:00 in
screening room A where we screened the introduction film before you saw
me. Welcome to he cast." Tailor your presentation to achieve that
reaction. Widen your vision of what needs to be done, most guests are
not made aware of the multitude of positions which casting is tasked to
fill. I you think attraction operator be specific but stress safety.
Coaster button pushers also rotate to greet guests at marquee, perhaps
to enforce height requirements, inform policy, educate wild questions,
and especially be on the lookout to provide the magic, such as
suggesting the single rider queue, child switch option or accommodate a disability. A wide variety of attraction require a wide variety of
operators, active hosts enjoy Challenge Trail Exporter Canoes and
Pirates Lair, narration attractions appeal to public speakers.
Attractions is the easiest to envision, check a map, there they are all
listed. Parking, security, custodial aren't on the map and a plethora of
the tasks guests unseen, engineering, maintenance, even the sprayers who
hose down pavement all night. Even painters, welders and carpenters are
in demand. Take painting for example, there are prop painters (anything
mobile - stanchions, trash-cans et cetera) ride vehicle specialists,
sign painters and even interior/exterior is divided between fabrication
and restoration. Main Gate - City Hall - Tour Garden are excellent
choices for those who excel at customer service. Someone has got to sell
the tickets and book the vacations from a nearby call-center. Get wild
with your imagination may impress as well; "I translate Portuguese
fluently, so I would like to be a managers assistant facilitating
operations training in preparation of transfer to Disneyland Brazil."
Animals and plants need care too, let the casting director know if you
excel at training horses or bonsai. Stitch cloth become unstitched both
for animatronics and costuming. Indicate if your hemstitch is a bobbin
to wear and tear, you may have the job sewed-up.
You won't get the job if you're Goofy. No, seriously, entertainers are
cast at cattle call sessions by a different department see
https://www.facebook.com/DisneyAuditions/. So if you're parade, a
princess or Peter Pan you will need to keep an eye pealed for the
announcements posted on Meta (formerly Facebook). The closest you'll get
to shows in this department is usher. Which brings up the biggest bubble
to pop (besides jani-juice.)
You may be asked to stay late and put down the deep-fry baskets in
exchange for aircraft wands at a moments notice and enforce crowd
control (no standing on walls/furniture, this side of the rope for
viewing-that side is moving only, even 'I can help you find your mom.')
Remain flexible as you are not cast to a specific training notebook. You
are cast to make magic-making manageable. Be not surprised this is an
industry of entertainment, you'll work when others are traditionally
recreating - weekends and evenings, holidays and inclement weather
walking home past a caged industrial ladder attached to a huge white
wall in the echo of parade floats to catch a cast shuttle to your car -
quite boring and uneventful, but being or knowing the secret to the
magic is always less thrilling than witnessing the suspense, awe and
wonderment as a guest. You can however find pride in being the secret
guests ponder "How'd they do that?"
So spake the --(o=8> wiz.
p.s. If you let them know wiz coached you or that you read this
you won't get the job.
