Does anyone know how to report a threat from a leader to their union? (Attractions Union)

I’ve been trying for years to get into Disney. Like five years of rejection and my main goal is to work up into a DAK role, as I’m a huge wildlife lover and have experience at an AZA zoo DAK actually got one of their animals from. Just this year I finally got an interview and the recruiter liked and and I went through a whole bunch of hurdles to get what I needed for the position (not dak role, something else major but with dak I know a foot in the door is needed since it’s so high competition on the inside, and at least I can do something else in WDW I love while waiting for however long I need to transfer). I’m talking emotions and all as I kept trying and finally achieved getting what I need. Plus, my friend since second grade works up there, and I’m two hours south of Disney currently. However…..

My mom and dad don’t seem to want me to go. Im in the same neighborhood as mom and 15 minutes from dad. I’ll be honest, I’m in a townhouse my mom bought me to be closer to her and to help with things, and I just had a long talk with dad about how he thinks I really need to think this through. Mind you he was supporting before to help me get all I needed for the role, but now that’s done, we had a talk about how I’m giving everything up for a move and how these days people are getting laid off for anything, and saying I’ll be going from a Cush life to paying rent, moving alone, possibly falling out with my friend if we room together, being far from family etc (mind you me and friend are from Georgia, I moved down here with my mom, and friend moved down here years before I did alone, his mom and family are still in Atlanta.) Dad says he understands I’ve wanted this but I could be messing up. I’m for sure not giving up the position but my parents did get in my head now. Idk if it’s because they’ll miss me or it’s because I help do stuff when they need (I have a truck so part of that is helping them haul) or what. He also brought up what if I have car issues and am far from my current city. Idk it’s bothering me now.

Any advice? Maybe they’re right? Similar stories?

Ig I tried to keep it discreet for some reason but the role is transportation and the thing I was busting to get was the CDL.

GOOD MORNING, i was wondering what are my benefits other than the admission, guest passes? Are there hotel discounts? Do the sit down restaurants at disney have CM discounts?

Has anyone transferred to custodial recently? Just put my transfers in recently and was wondering how long the waitlist was

I'm a merch CM, and decided a little while ago to splurge and get AMC a-list because I love going to the movies. I had gotten my bf a subscription for valentines day, but we have broken up, and I would like to see movies with people more often :)! I'm a 25 year old girl btw.

We just got informed this week we'll be heading back to the office by the end of August. I am so disappointed and discouraged because with how gas prices are right now, it seems like a lot of people in our company are out of touch... Has anyone had the 4 days a week conversation recently? How are you handling it? Has anybody said anything about trying to find some solution?

Hello, does anyone know how long someone waits until getting an offer? I’ve been waiting for 2 months now- I passed both interviews. If you’re in resorts pls tell me your experience in the waiting process or what’s going on

I am contemplating switching from a seasonal role to a part time role. I have a couple of questions.

1. Do part time cast members qualify for health insurance?

2. What type of park entry pass do part time cast members have? Is it still the self admission pass?

Thank you!

Returning cm here I’m working food and bev qsr in DCA can someone pls tell me what the shifts, amount of hours, and closing shifts are like for people new at the bottom of the seniority change? Just curious and would really appreciate insight.

Just got hired for bell services, can you have a apple watch on you during shift? My first day is next week and i dont want to bring it if its not allowed. Thanks

Hello! This may be a bit odd, but I have a question! I'll be in Orlando for the DCP August-January. I've accepted, but I'm also in the running for a Disney professional internship that'd start in June (fingers crossed for that, it's a dream)!!! Either way, I'll be in Orlando and will make some trips to the parks in my free time.

Now for my question: should I buy an annual pass? I've heard mixed things about cast members' passes, and that it's a bit challenging to use your free days. I've been trying to research, but I figure coming to the source might be best. I plan on going to Disney soon with friends, so I'm wondering if I should buy a pass (which the pirate pass is like $900) or just a one-day pass (which, with tax, is already like $210 for the day). It feels like the math works best to just get a pass?

How hard is it to use those days/ what does it look like to reserve park days as a CM?:) Thanks for any advice!!
