    Awesome to hear of your experience! I just got offered to by a photopass photographer at Disneyland! I'm about to schedule my traditions and onboarding. Hopefully once I start, we can meet up! Would love to have you as a friend!

    It will take me only 25 min on the bus to get to Disney (one bus only). I’m super grateful for this and I know what it’s like to have to take multiple buses and Lyfts and it’s very time consuming and annoying. Proud of you for doing this!

    Where would you park at? Bc can you park at the cast member parking or do you have to pay for parking? And would they email you the main entrance or would you receive it in the mail? If you don’t get the main entrance ticket on time would you have to pay for the ticket reservation? Sorry for all these questions I’m very curious because I have my tradition coming up soon. 😊

    what are the rules for the main entrance pass? i have traditions next week but im too impatient lol. what are the blackout dates like for cast members?

    • @desiregarza6926
      @desiregarza6926  Před 2 lety

      As far as yourself goes, you’d just have to make a park reservation which would be subject to availability and blockout dates. Generally you’re blocked out of the parks for popular holidays and such or when a new attraction or land opens, it’s really just so that they can ensure that during busier times the paying guests have priority. Blockout dates can be kinda random sometimes but you’ll be able to check those on the Cast Life app once you have your login info!

      @desiregarza6926  Před 2 lety

      Hi, I actually do not know anything about those. I know that Disneyland and WDW are having Job Fairs coming up, I think the best way to find out more info before applying would be to go check out the job fair and ask a Cast Member there. Hope that helps! 💕

      @@fabiolavazquez2754 Great Question! Since they are on opposite sides it is a little different, but there’s trams backstage to get to both sides that get you there entirely backstage if that makes sense. So there is a few different entrances to get backstage but once you’re there it’s all kinda one big thing and there’s ways to get to where you need to go

    Hii I have a question, since you were commuting from so far what did you tell them regarding your availability?

    • @desiregarza6926
      @desiregarza6926  Před 2 lety +1

      I tried to give them as much availability as possible, truthfully I wasn’t able to keep up with it, but essentially, after the busy season a Casual Regular CM only has to be available on Friday nights and Saturdays and Sundays so that’s what I did.

      It can be a little finicky sometimes, I’d suggest fully exiting the app out and trying again maybe? I’m not too sure, what’s nice is once it’s linked you won’t have to link it again, but you can always call the support number!
