About the complimentary tickets, how do you get them? do you have to work a certain amount of hours?? Thaaanks

@riss_papa

Yes! Once you work 150 hours you get 3 comp tickets. They take about 2 weeks to be added to your account which stinks but they’ll come eventually! And you get 3 more at 300 hours

@@riss_papa Thank youuu!

Thanks for explaining the family visits/getting off work! I’ve been looking everywhere for that info!

Thank you so much for the vid😊 I’m doing spring advantage in a couple months and your blogs make me so excited to head over there

i’m honestly surprised she doesn’t have more subs

I just found your channel from this video and subscribed. You are so pretty! Thank you for mentioning how visiting with friends and family works when they come to visit because I was wondering the same thing and hadn't heard anyone talk about it. My program starts in August and I can't wait! This video was so helpful!

I was walked off of Splash Mountain at DL once. I remember being excited when I heard the announcement to stay seated because a cast member was on the way. Took photos while standing near the first drop

thank you for the video it was super helpful. i have a few questions. How many hours can you work, could you just pick up as many shifts as you want or can you only work a set amount of hours? Can you walk to the parks from the apartment complex or is it a long walk? how much is the cast member discount? also if you could maybe explain more about the casting and check in. thank you love your channel

@riss_papa

Thanks so much for watching!! And you're allowed to pick up as many shifts as you'd like, but depending on the season and location, you'll have to get leader approval to go over 40 hours. Unfortunately, you won't be able to walk to any parks from the apartments. Each park is 15+ minutes away from the apartments by car. Cast member discount ranges between 20% and 40% depending on where you use it! There's a guide that tells you discounts at different places on The Hub (the cast member website with everything you need to know once you start). If you'd like to know more about check-in and casting I have a whole video dedicated to that day here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIKipKqmgpiThM4.html Its basically just the day you can first enter your apartment and move all of your things in and meet your roommates. Casting is just a fancy way of saying you go to a building to fill out all the paperwork and forms so you can legally work there. So make sure you have an ID and social security card or passport. Simple as that! The next few days are spent getting adjusted and waiting for Traditions. After Traditions, you'll get park access and begin your training. Hope this helped!

omg, i work at time square too.

Thank you for this video! It has really helped a lot. I had a quick question about rooming at 21 years old. Did you room with other girls overage and did you have any problems with that (drinking, etc.)?

@riss_papa

4 жыл бұрын

No we never had an issue with it because all of my roommates were also 21+. Not sure if the rules differ if you have younger roommates. I’m sure it’ll tell you everything you need to know in your program guide that you get at check in :)

That is sooo cool that you worked at spaceship earth! My dream job is to work at Soarin! I’ve seen cast members holding white pieces of paper while walking to their next position. What is on the paper?

The more people you live with, the cheaper your rent is! It’s also different among the complexes. The Commons is most expensive and Vista is least expensive

@riss_papa

I'm pretty sure they allow one mini fridge in each apartment, but you'd have to provide that yourself! Just double check with housing. They're usually good at responding to emails

In the UK $10 is quite a lot for if you are like 19 and under so I’m not worried about that!

5 or 6 on average!! Yes of course! You can also go to the parks before and after your shifts if you feel like it. The only time you can’t go to a park is if you call out sick from work because then they’ll know you’re lying and you can get termed!
