I'll bet there will be a couple.. Just like any business, there is always the exception.

From YAHOO Disney World opened 50 years ago; these workers never left The employees who make up the 50-year club say the theme park resort has allowed them to grow their careers and try on new hats. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/disney-world-opened-50-years-140301411.html

That's why we let Jason work on reservations, he gets the job done and it doesn't cost you anything extra.

Not camping related, but thought you "puppie" owners would enjoy. We moved to a new complex in Illinois, where we spend the summer near our daughter, and they tout being "pet friendly". Well they definitely live up to their word, we got this email today. DROOL IN THE POOL.. With Monday being the last day the pool will be open, we are dedicating Tuesday September 28th, to our 4 legged furry friends. We invite all the dogs to come and swim that day from 10 am- 6 pm. We will have special treats for them to enjoy. We will make sure the water is at an enjoyable temperature for them

From FOX 35 ORLANDO, Fla. - Soon you won't need to join the virtual queue to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Starting Sept. 23, you can use the traditional stand-by line. This is the first time people will be able to do that since the ride opened in 2019. Since the beginning, guests have only been able to ride using the virtual queue, which is being paused, according to Disney Parks Blog. https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/disney-worlds-star-wars-rise-of-the-resistance-moving-to-standby-queue

A ship is a ship it's the service and experiences that count in my opinion. DCL has 1 CM for every 1.7 passengers and the average across the cruise industry is 1 CM for every 2.5 passengers..

Disney Cruise Line was voted the No. 1 Mega-ship Ocean Cruise Line in the 2021 World's Best Awards — and it's only getting better.

Most governmental agencies do not give our "Retirement Goodies".... After my 30 + in local government that's all I got too.

Then things have changed, right from FAQ about the program. Also not what I heard from our friend https://thedisneyoutpost.com/2021/06/28/disney-college-program-faq/ Q: Do you need to live in company sponsored housing? A: No, living in company sponsored housing is not a requirement.

How is that any different than a vast majority of CO-OP jobs at any college? You get to work for slightly above minimum wage for College Credits and no other benefits and there is no guarantee that you will be hired after graduation. I have a good friend who swears by the College Program and he "Loves DIS" for the doors that the program opened for him. He is currently the Director of Ticket Operations for an NFL team.

Last I heard they reopened the self serve at the resorts and the Fort.

I think Cedar Point is per day on top of admission at $110 to $160 depending on which level you want. I also agree it is to help with control plus the $$.

Too bad he doesn't know DIT then he would understand......

Fixed it...

The Walt Disney Co. has added its name to the growing list of major corporations mandating that employees to be fully vaccinated. The new requirement applies to all salaried and non-union hourly employees, in the U.S., and the company said that they are talking to unions representing workers under collective bargaining agreements. https://deadline.com/2021/07/the-walt-disney-co-vaccinations-1234806868/

From FOX35: Walt Disney World says face coverings will be required in certain parts of the resort starting this weekend. The new rules apply "regardless of vaccination status," Disney posted on its website. Beginning July 30, face-coverings are required for all guests (ages 2 and up) while indoors and in Disney buses, monorail, and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status. https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/disney-to-once-again-require-masks-for-all-guests-while-indoors-beginning-july-30
