    Hey guys

    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me anything more about working in Merchandise? Because everyone on here seems to be F&B! which is cool, but i was just wondering if there was anyone who'd done merchandise and what they'd done?

    Ive been accepted to the summer '06 programme and merchandise was my first choice, which i got-yey! :) but i know nothing about it!

    Hugs gem

    Hi gem,

    I worked in uk merchandise from july 2003 to 2004. It is basically shop work so it will involve guest interaction, cash handling, working till registers, stocking the shops or carts depending were u are working.

    Hope this helps.

    Charlie.

    Hi Gem,

    The international program that is for a year is for merchandise and food and bev... there is a good number of merchies on the boards here. It just feels that there is so many more food and bev as in most countries of the IP program for every one cast member in merch there is about 4 in foods i would say. it is just because they need more staff...

    Hmmmm here's the thing.

    I'm on a brand new programme involving f&b and operations (attractions, park greeting and parking).

    Yet the UK pavilion doesnt have an attraction :|

    So I don't know where I'm gonna be :mad:

    I want to know!
     
  7. Disney Gibbs are you doing the college program?

    And I am doing lectures with the University of Michigan!

    As I said its a new programme.

    No one knows much about it!
