So I know that just being a CM has to be one of the best jobs in the world, but I'm curious what attraction, character or job is wanted the most when you are hired. What's most desirable or do you really not care as long as it's at the Happiest Place on Earth? 😊
I would to be that person that strolls up and down Main Street visiting with people and trading pins and answering questions. If only that was a real job... - BalooTBear

Train engineer or conductor - Docdanracy

Of course on Space Mountain, that way I'd be near it all the time!!! - Superspacemountainfan

Jungle Cruise Skipper. I think that one is the most popular and desired when people apply for attractions. - IDVandalSkipperCM

As for me, I was just happy to be placed in Adventureland! It's my home and I can't imagine working anywhere else in DL - IDVandalSkipperCM 1291.0 #63 9:17AM
I think you really have to have an extra special outgoing nature to be a Jungle Cruise Skipper, love how each one is different. - amyb1076 22.8 #4826 12:40PM
Yes... It takes a special person for sure. Went on it today and our skipper was really into it. Was so fun... But I always have fun on that ride. - joybells 210.1 #1489 9:43PM
Most popular attraction wise are Tower bellhop and Mansion butler. - shadowgamer

My uncle was a HM butler. He said it's pretty awesome. I would love to have that as my job. - PiecesOf8 373.1 #368 10:04AM

Oh gosh now you got me started!!! Okay, first on list, I'd love to be the CM story teller in the Peter Pan room in innovations! I went there in December and was basically saying everything word for word lol. Next, I'd like to be friends with Wendy Darling! Get to hang out with Peter Pan all day? Yes please!! Plus, if it keeps idneySay isneyDay from being her, whoop whoop! ;P next would be photo pass, being a photographer, I'd love to have a camera with me! Only thing, I'm kinda shy and would feel rude an annoying asking people if they'd like their picture taken lol I'd be too awkward. But hey, never know! And then there's shops on main st USA!! One, I love their costuming, two, I love the constant music playing, and the hussel and hussel of things, it takes me to a happy place :) - AvidDisneyThrifter220
845.8 #108 9:04PM
Oh yes my number one wish would be to be a photographer. Capturing everyone's favorite moments for them for the rest of their lives. - amyb1076 22.8 #4826 9:51PM
I was a character 13 years ago and it was and still is the best job I ever had. You get to make dreams come true and be a hero to someone every day! How can you beat that?!? - CowgirlJessie
162.6 #2119 10:00PM
Not sure which character u were but I'm dying to know that if the characters with a mask smile underneath when getting their picture taken a thousand times :) I know silly thing to wonder - amyb1076 22.8 #4826 10:07PM
Great question Amy! - MrsSchnooks 572.1 #193 10:54PM
amyb1076 I definitely smiled ALL the time! You forget that they can't see you the person. Plus, everyone was always so excited to see you that it sometimes got emotional! I cried out of joy many times under that mask! - CowgirlJessie 162.6 #2119 10:09AM
That is just awesome!! What a great feeling. Thanks for answering 😀 - amyb1076 22.8 #4826 10:29AM
Always wondered. Does it get hot or stuffy under the mask? - davetyee 331.7 #462 10:41AM
It gets very hot!! No getting past that. And I was working at WDW. Oh the humidity!! You do get used to it though. - CowgirlJessie 162.6 #2119 10:56AM
Great question! I've always wondered this... - MissMolly

1413.9 #56 9:12AM
😂😂😂 You don't say? LOL - MrsSchnooks 572.1 #193 9:18AM
hahaha! can you believe it??? - OhanaPhoto 1413.9 #56 10:14AM
I love gadgets for me it is innovations - Enome
9.4 #6974 9:15AM
I've heard that tower of terror is quite popular. - HasAnyoneSeenMyGlassSlipper
321.4 #514 9:16AM
If I couldn't do what I plan to major in, baking and pastry, then I'd want to work in Fantasyland or NOS. Then... become a plaid. Haha - PiecesOf8
373.1 #368 9:45AM
Oh my stars, I've always wanted to go to culinary school. So jealous! I went to a sauce class and learned how to make hollandaise sauce and thought I was pretty fancy! lol - MrsSchnooks 572.1 #193 10:37AM
I'm still not 100% on it. I still need to take some intro classes at my community college before I go to a real culinary school. As much as I love making desserts I still have to decide if that's the career route I want to go. - PiecesOf8 373.1 #368 11:29AM
I totally understand. They say choosing which direction to go and then if you choose desserts it's very difficult. Best of luck to you! - MrsSchnooks 572.1 #193 10:38PM
Either a Princess or a train conductor :) - PrincessSierra
6.8 #8291 11:52AM
I want to dance in the parade. - Armenda
992.4 #89 7:17PM
Me too 😊 - MoonWillow 367.6 #377 7:45PM
Being a sweeper so that I could talk to guests. Or a bellhop at tot so I could freak people out. I would love that. - Belleslibrary
227.9 #1272 7:28PM
I always since a little girl wanted to work on the POTC ride. - PixiPirateMaid
114.1 #2823 8:00PM
I used to want to be the rainbow slinky, then a swinging character in the Pixar parade, but now I think that being a Monorail driver would be fun for a bit. - Linzee

Flynn Ryder - Mouse4life
1041.6 #82 9:08PM
I have always wanted to work one of the fantasy land rides... Snow White, Pinocchio, Peter pan, Mr. Toad... I have just always wanted to push the buttons!!! Lol But now that I'm older, I would want to work space mountain or Indiana Jones! - HiddenMickeyFanatic
260.4 #905 9:15PM
That's funny. Me too! (about the buttons part) - cesium55 529.7 #216 11:00PM
Steamboat Willie in fantasmic or Snow White :P - Snow33

25 years ago I went to my interview... After assessing my character, my speaking 2 languages and ASL, I was hired to Department 935 "Tomorrowland Attractions"! Best junior/senior high school jobs plus seasonal during college! - martini8668-cm
35.9 #4132 11:15PM
I'd like to be the person (assuming a plaid) who gets to host the guests of the Dream Suites and be part of all the magic of that stay and stay overnight! Best slumber party host EVER!!!!✨ - TinkerSchelle
640.4 #168 11:56PM
That is so you! - MrsSchnooks 572.1 #193 12:23AM
I would do anything they need me to do just to be hired there :) But my choice would be a plaid or a character handler...I want to do something that impacts people and their visit there. - DumboGal70
86.0 #3193 10:16AM
(Character host!) - IDVandalSkipperCM 1291.0 #63 10:26AM
Awe thanks for the correct title :)
- DumboGal70 86.0 #3193 9:30PM
Oooooooooh I'm curious to know too!!! - tish
260.3 #906 8:53AM
I would love to organize the character meet and greets :)
Another question, can u request when u interview what u want to do? Or do u just get placed where u are needed? I definitley want to work there one day, even if its not for 15 years after my daughter graduates haha.. - amyb1076
22.8 #4826 7:16PM
When I interviewed they asked me if I wanted DCA or Disneyland and if I wanted to be on attractions, food, or merchandice, and then they placed you where they needed you from there. - stubb7 220.4 #1349 8:17PM
So awesome.. I just can't imagine getting to play at Disneyland everyday and making people happy as my "job" I can only dream.. - amyb1076 22.8 #4826 8:22PM
Usually you interview for a certain operation like stores, food, etc. they will ask you we're you would like to work. Once your assigned a location you could still be temporally moved during the high season. - HollywoodGlitter
179.2 #1874 9:37PM
If I were to work there I would love to be in the displays department. Fixing the store windows and setting up for the different holidays. I love that kind of stuff.. And love seeing it done with Disney magic. - joybells
210.1 #1489 9:50PM
They asked me when I applied what department I wanted to be in. I eventually had a dream of working building/designing the sets on the rides so I stayed behind the scenes in entertainment costuming. Not glamorous or anything but a foot in the door. I still would pick that vs being out in the park though...dealing with some crazy people=no thanks lol. However--maybe I'd want to be a plaid if given the option - hillarygardner

Window displays absolutely - hillarygardner
