Cast Members: Do You Lose The Magic???

[Just-Keep-Swimming]

im planning on doing the Disney College Program, which means I get to work as a CM!!!

to anyone who has ever worked as a CM, do you find you dont enjoy Disney as much once you've spent months or even years working there?

Do memories of complaining guests or other issues prevent you from returning for your own vacations?

Im really looking forward to the CP and maybe even being an Imagineer someday!!! But I hope it will always be my favorite place for a vacation too.

I'm currently a CP and the magic hasn't been ruined too much for me, it's such a fun place to work

I spoke to a waitress who had been with Disney for about 20 years, and had spent 11 years at Liberty Tree Tavern. She mentioned that some days are better than others, but in general, if you gotta work, there's no better place than Disney.

I worked for Disney for 2 years. I never lost the magic. As said, it has its days where you work the long days and sometimes some guests can get to you a little, but otherwise, it's a great place to work. I chose to work in resorts so I wouldn't be exposed to the tunnels and everything at MK, etc, so I wouldn't lose the magic just in case. I miss it tons tho! I've been trying to get back in and get a job with them again. Disney is all what you make of it. It can be a great job, or the poorest workplace you've ever had. It all depends on your attitude!

My son is currently there on the CP program and just loves it. He goes into the parks when ever he can. Disney magic never dies.

I've done the CP, and have been a CM since 2005. I haven't lost any of the magic...in fact, I think it's gotten stronger. I love my "job"!
