Quick Notes: After you been cleared by the background department at the casting center you will be scheduled for yet another group meeting. Traditions, at Disney University. When you arrive at Traditions you will have a full day of Disney’s history and you may meet your new boss, Mickey Mouse. You and your group will eventually venture out to Magic Kingdom using tunnels underneath the park for a tour and then on stage where all the magic happens. Once your done you will return to Disney University, where you will receive your name badge and your Disney ID.
Do not misuse this identification. If you do, it will be a deciding factor on whether to keep you onboard as a cast member. Disney has a waiting list for new cast members. Which means you can be replaced very quickly.
Dress professional during all meetings until you get a costume, even then you should always maintain the Disney look.
My reviews are structured and rated in many areas. I believe that my experiences will provide consumers satisfactory or acceptable in quality or quantity information.
I hope this particular review has helped you carefully decide whether or not to give this venue your business.
Enjoy, Jonathan

Have you ever wondered how all the Disney cast members learn the «Disney Way»?? Well, the answer is school… Disney University that is!!! Without giving away too much (Sworn to secrecy), I can tell you this is where each cast member goes to learn the basics about Disney and how to create the magic that Disney is so well known for!!!
If you ever get the chance to work for the best place in the world, you’re sure to enjoy the many visits you make here!

This is a «behind the scenes» Disney thing that most people do not know about. That is, unless you work for Disney or live in Orlando. Those who live in Orlando tend to know a good bit about Disney.
Disney University is located behind The Magic Kingdom where the MK Cast Members park every day. Going through Disney University is mandatory for every Cast Member, no matter how big or small the role may be.
When hubby (John S.) started working for Disney, he spent his first four days at Disney University and he said he had a blast and they went out of their way to make it a fun experience. Leave it to Disney to pay you for having fun!
This is where they teach you all things Disney like saying, «Have a magical day,» and pointing with either 2 fingers or your entire hand… never, ever point with just one finger. Pay attention next time you’re at Disney, you should never see a Cast Member point with just one finger. They learn all kind of neat things about Walt himself and Disney history too. They even incorporate little games and give out prizes. We have two really cute Disney figurines from hubby answering questions correctly.
Like I said, it’s «behind the scenes» and something you’ll never experience unless you happen to go to work for Disney World, but I wanted to review it because I know there are many people who are interested in what happens behind the magic at Disney. =)

This is where you go to learn to be magical and earn your ability to earn your ears.
