Every job has its stressful elements, and I have no issue with the Disney cast members venting their frustrations amongst themselves or anonymously on an Internet site.
What I care about is, how do they treat their customers? And my experiences with Disney World and with Disney Cruise Line is that they treat them very, very well. I can recall standing in a long, long line of hyped-up girls, just so my then-three year old could see her princesses. And when our turn finally came, those princesses made it seem like seeing my little girl was the absolute highlight of their entire day.
So yeah, if they want to badmouth me behind my back, I couldn’t care less. Where it counts, they deliver.
I worked at an amusement park for 3 seasons. You learn to turn off your ego. No matter how nasty the customer became, I always smiled at them because they paid to be there and I was getting paid to be there.
It also drove them crazy.
Dude, I’m with you. Disney, while maybe a drag for us adults, is so very special for the young’uns. It’s a special place. For those who don’t care for it - don’t go there. Just sayin’.
