Hi everyone Was just wondering, I'll be starting at Disneyland on 12th June for the 1 year program (CANT WAIT!!!) and will be working in the merchandising on the UK section and wondered what the chances are of saving any money during the year, if anyone who's been there before could help with this that would be great, cheers. ;D
Hi, Like most jobs it depends on your outgoings, if you eat out every night and buy loads of stuff then of course you probably won't save any money. However, if you limit your spending to what you really need, and don't go crazy with your money then of course you can save. If you are from the UK then you won't make much when you change it back into ££££ but its something. When I did the summer program back in 2005 i went travelling with nearly $2000 I had saved, although I did do a lot of extra hours and overtime which you can't do on the CRP unless it is in the pavillion. At the end of the day it is up to you if you save or don't, I had an awesome time and still managed to save. A xx
The tax you make back during 'tax refund season' can be quite hefty...as can your 'relo' cheque when you finish...so you (hopefully) won't be completely penniless when you leave!!!
Yeah totally forgot about the tax thing!! I never got mine in 2005 caus there was some huge mix up and Disney never sent my forms and then lost them or something. Really annoying!! I think I can still get it back but its such a complicated process. A xx
It don't matter....... we knew what he meant!!!!!! lol Its all the same.... hehehehehehehe A xx ------------- heathen! blasphemy! i'll set the queen of hearts on you!
Talk about touchy!! Disney is one big family, who cares which one you are at we are all joined under the banner of cast members!!!!! Geez : : : A xx
I was kidding just to clarify!!! lol!!!!!!! I just reread what I wrote and was like oops that sounds a lil shirty!!! A xx
Ok, Disneyworld then! anyway, I thought that you could save much money anyway, as ive heard there's alot of partying going on out there, thats cool, sound fantastic, just cant wait to leave now and get out of these crappy jobs im in , Disineyworld for a year!! cant beleive it! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!! :

oh, thats good, but im not sure where im flying from yet as i think disney are organising my flight, did you book your flight your self or through disney? and how much etc? I am 25 and live in Wolverhampton, what about you?
From Manchester but at uni in Lincoln, I'm 21, i booked mine because it works out cheaper, you pay there and then rather than through your pay so i wont be short of money when im there, also i know when im flying and all the details so i can plan lifts and everything in advance, disney only give u the details a week in advance! x
got a one way cost £315 but disney give u it bak if ustay the whole year. didnt get a return coz i mite travel a bit after x
oh ok, so disney pay for your flight, then you pay them back, then they pay you back again at the end!? Is that what your saying?
