Seasonal Employment Questions

[Austin]

Two of my friends and I (18, 19 & 19) live in San Diego and want to rent an apartment together near Disneyland and work at Disney just for the summer months we have off of school. We really want to do this as it's always been a weird dream of ours to work at Disneyland, even if it is just labor but we don't really know the specifics on summer jobs.

It would be great if anyone, whether a current CM or previous CM or just someone with knowledge about DL jobs, could give me information on how seasonal summer jobs at Disney work. I'm also interested in knowing if they audition seasonally for the Parade's/entertainment as my friends and I are all involved in theatre.

Also if anyone knows which types of jobs they generally hire seasonally (as I would prefer to work, say as a cashier over a custodian) and how many hours entry level CM's usually work I would REALLY appreciate it.

Any information is appreciated! Thank you!

Don't go in expecting a specific job. Your friends should also have a plan B, because entertainment is very competitive.

There is a hiring surge for Summer as that's a consitently busy season. I can't recall when it starts but I believe in a month or two.

I was actually just on that Facebook page haha, and don't worry entertainment is just the dream job I wouldn't even consider it as Plan-A. Thank you!
