Excited/nervous interview!!
I have a phone interview tomorrow..
..with Disney!
I am going to WDW in a few weeks, and on a whim, decided to apply at the Disney Reservations Center. I work for Hyatt right now, so it seemed like a good fit - plus, who doesn't want to talk to people about WDW all day? I got an-email, and I have a phone interview tomorrow!
I feel kinda spontaneous, if I were to get the job, moving from Omaha to Orlando on whim. But I think it would be a great opportunity. My only real responsibility right now is my dog, and he can always come with.
How about you guys? Would you do it?!

Sounds like an adventure! If I had no ties to keep me in one area, I would definitely go for it. Best wishes!

Good luck! With your experience, it should be a breeze!
From what I remember, the initial phone 'interview' is more of a quick overview of what is mentioned in the job overview, salary, preference of location (there's more than 1 DRC location), and to schedule an in-person interview.
I applied to be a DRC CM, but wasn't successful. I don't mind sharing my experience with interviewing with Disney - send me a PM if you wish (everyone's experience applying to Disney is different, and don't want the magic to be taken from others' experiences). I am nervous in interviews and tend to not sell my skills (so to speak), especially when I wanted to work at WDW for 15 years before having the courage to apply...

Well, I work guest relations now, at Hyatt, which basically fixes all the post-stay guest issues that people have. I took reservations, previously, so I will ask them tomorrow if there is a job at the reservations line more like what I do now, but if not, I don't think I would have any issue taking DISNEY reservations!
What are you applying for Disneyluver91?

I think you should go for it!! If you have nothing tying you down now is the time. My husband and I moved to Colorado 2 weeks after deciding. We have never looked back.

Had the interview - passed it, invited to come to a face to face meeting!
But.. pay is only 8.70 an hour. I just don't know if I could move to a new state and live on that.
Plus, they have no idea when they will call me for an interview. The lady said they could call me in 2 months and need me there in 2 days. So who knows if it's a possibility.

Even if you don't decide to go, congrats on the face to face! It is probably really hard to get a personal interview with Disney.

Glad the interview went well. $8.70 an hour would be hard to live on.

I think with the $8 or $9/hour wages, it is meant as a second income. I know I couldn't live on those wages, but there are options.
You could live with family / friends / roommates where you could split the cost of renting a place to live.
