Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Good luck, anon!! I hope you do, too!

I was in it a few years ago, and it really was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Don't get me wrong; it can be very tough and definitely stressful, especially depending on the general attendance levels around the park (holidays and spring break and whatnot). Basically, if you go in with realistic expectations that it won't be sunshine and Disney Magic all day, every day, the positives should hopefully heavily outweigh the cons.

I think the most important thing is having roommates you get along with, which is kind of like playing roulette since unless you do know someone beforehand and arrange to room with them, it's going to be randomized (but according to certain preferences of yours). Though if things are really bad with your roommates, you do have the option to bring it up with housing and you can get relocated.

Anyway! It's definitely something where you get out of it what you're willing to put into it. A lot of people are disappointed right off the bat by the low pay (and you do have to pay rent for housing, but honestly, I thought the rent was extremely reasonable for having pretty much everything necessary included), but to be honest, having Disney on your resume is a pretty awesome thing itself. Plus, if you're ever interested in furthering yourself in the company? Plenty of people have gotten their start from the college program, and you can attend seminars and things like that to hear their stories. Basically, when looking for the benefit of working there, it's better to think long-term versus what you're seeing upfront.

I WILL TL;DR FOREVER IF I DON'T STOP and I don't know if I said anything useful at all. But! If you still have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them for you!
