  I have never known anyone not to get along with the roommate while in the college program. You have to figure that chances are they are very similar to you with the love of disney and desire to work at disney. So you already have a lot of common ground. Anybody that causes a lot of problems typically is gone pretty quickly. Daily routine is difficult because you dont know what role your going to be. I work in entertainment and each day can be different because I am often not working with the same character or the same performer day after day. I see a lot of the same performers and characters over and over again so we still form fun and exciting bonds. When I was in Attractions I worked at the Seas with nemo and friends. Its in attractions they use a program called cds which rotates the cast to different positions through the day. This mean you wont be standing at the load belt all day going out of your mind. There is a list of positions in your area that you will go to so you may start at the unload belt then 45 min later you change to the wheel chair or you may be hosting the Turtle talk with crush show. Its designed so cast dont get too bored and therfore angry in one position. I have always loved working at Disney. It is a JOB and there are days that the last place you want to be is at Disney. You will have guest yelling at you for stuipd stuff that is not your fault. They will flat out LIE to your manager about something you did just so they can get free stuff. You will see the dredges of society on occasion. We have a saying on those bad days "Im just not feeling the pixie dust today" However, the oppisite is true as well. You will meet guest who you will wish you were part of thier family. You will meet the cutest little kids who will come give you hugs for no reason. You will cry tears of joy alot. When you bring a smile to the make a wish kids you just cant help but tear up. I live for making magical momments where you take some average family and do something special. I had a mom and toddler son yesterday come to my area. They were the only ones around so I brought over Tigger, Pooh and Eyeore for a character interaction and group picture. This is never done. The mom and son bounced with tigger andd played with pooh and eyeore for 15 mins by themselves. It was beautiful. It can be a lot of hard work sometimes but disney does know this and it trys to make you feel loved, and appreciated. We are always getting special cast only parties or events that are just awesome. In a few days is the cast preview party for the Osbourne Festival of Dancing Lights. After the park closes cast members are invited to come down for free cocoa, cider and cookies. They give us those special glasses and have a big private party down on streets of america for our own private viewing of the osbourne lights. Two days ago we had a private party for studios entertainment at Pizza Planet with free play, free pizza, cake and raffle. Its stuff like this that i live for.
