@@emilyswanderland on a vacation with my sister in Miami Florida I said a nice hello to house keeping hotel personel. they did not respond at all to that greeting. when me and my sister asked for towels at the hotel they had this complaint look on their face it was so disrespectful. these hotel personel types are not friendly at all. another unpleasent experience was at a restaurant in Cap Cod years ago my family ate at this place. the waitress she not only was mean she yelled at us. finally I had enough of her bad attitude from her so as a boy I got snappy right back at that rude waitress. but I probably should not gave done that it didn't change anything. over the years I excepted people are going to be rotten to you that's them some of those won't change I avoid them now.
You should sell the lightsaber end pieces for $15. Customer: "How much for a lightsaber?" Cast Member: "Single is $30, double is $45!" Customer: "Great, I'll build a double, then I'll have two lightsabers! Oh wait, one isn't complete, but it's a great deal....Hmm. Okay, how much for this small piece?" CM: "$15." C: "Yeah... but... I mean... wait, really?" CM: "Yep. Basically adds up to the cost of two lightsabers." C: "That's not fair!" CM: "I'm pretty sure the pricing is the very definition of fair, sir."
I've been binge-watching your videos all night and oh my goodness, I can't believe what you had to put up with! Can people really not survive a holiday of a week or two without complaining about something ridiculous? 😂
Thanks for sharing your stories! Having been to WDW and all the parks numerous times, and having worked retail since 1992, I completely feel your frustration and pain- thanks for providing the best Disney experience you can. I for one appreciate all you and other CM's do :)
I love these stories because I worked in the theatre district too and loved it! And I definitely had some interesting guests experiences, but I loved the people I worked with for sure!
One of many reasons I adore Disney World/Disneyland! A child's first visit always brings a shine and a smile on us! I'm a big Disney fan myself and when I get to go I'm always excited and eager to come and leave happy! Disney magic's in me!
The end cap story happened all the time when I was working at Tatooine last summer !! I Can totally relate to most of your stories after working Theatre district merch
For goodness sake guys! You’re visiting one of most the happiest and magical places in the world! BE HAPPY!!! I’d certainly be very grateful visiting Disney World on holiday and be very happy that the cast members are doing an awesome job to make my visit a happy and magical one. Getting angry over pathetic little things is just not worth it.
I feel like the "we can only sell you 10" policy IS kind of stupid because they could very well turn around and sell the 10 on Ebay too and just have other people they know keep coming to the store and buying more and more. Even if they dont do that and just sell the 10 on Ebay, sure its less money than they would get if they sold more than that, but they are still going to sell for a lot and the Ebay problem will continue to exist. And for Disney to also turn away money, as much as I love Disney, that's also surprising lol. Btw, the ride story was really, really cute=) I'm glad you could do that for that little girl=)
Well she also stated in the video that there is a part of the droid that the cast members 'snap' when they sell it to you to prevent it from being sold online (this apparently takes the product out of mint condition).
Rachel E I loved Merch! Super fun and I made a whole video about my experience with it :) shifts ranged from 6-12 hours and you get different breaks depending on the shift e.g. an 8 hour you’d get a 15 min and a 30 min. Hope that helps! :)
I love your videos! You are 100% my most watched Disney TH-camr! I am applying to go over in August this year... I have an interview so fingers crossed!
The lightsaber thing happened to me the other way around. Back in 2010 I was at a Disney Store near the Lego Store at Disney Springs and was just taking a look at the lightsabers, didn't want to buy or anything, then a cast member comes by and starts building it for me and was like "see? it's this way" and I was just awkwardly looking at her. I was 16 at the time and didn't speak English quite well back then, cause I'm Brazilian.
for the guy buying more than 10 droids...couldn't he just buy 5 droids initially? And then come back later, and buy 5 more? And a little bit later, buy another 5?
I didnt expect her to have an accent (Im American from Florida so she has an accent to me) so when I pressed play on the video I took a sip of my tea and heard it and was like Oh wOw thAtS prettyyy but it suprised me and I got excited because I love her accent and thought it was pretty but I didnt expect to be made overly happy by this video so I choked on my tea in suprise
Im guessing there is no individual SKU for each piece. Having been there at the park and having seen the display in question, I can almost guarantee those bins are refilled with bags of replacement parts that are not designed to be sold individually. It's not that Disney can't sell an individual piece, they just don't have a per unit price for them or a way to account for their sale. The whole idea is to buy the whole thing, and the sum of all the parts you choose factors into one fixed price.
Ah I'm glad you like my accent! I didn't actually work in entertainment unfortunately. However I do have a friend that did so I could try to get her on the channel to talk about it :)
I am only 12 (lol) and I’m also from the UK but I love Disney so when I’m older I really want to do the dcp so I have some questions 1:how do you apply 2: do you get paid 3: Is the flight and stuff free Thank you I hope I’m not bugging you byee
Aw you’re so young!! You apply through yummy jobs, you get paid $10 an hour, and you have to pay for your own flights and housing (but Disney provide the apartments). Hope that helps!
Emily’s Wanderland Omg thank you for replying I thought that this never sent so I asked you more questions on a different video I do also want to know (I think that this is important idk idk) what corses should I do I’d secondary and collage and if I should go to 6 form or not sorry for all the questions please add me on Instagram because I really want to ask way more questions lol it’s @smallestbodybiggestheart (it’s a fan account) thank you
Emily’s Wanderland Ok thank you so much you are like the nicest person I’ve ever met I wish you could meet you but I live up north near Scotland :( but thank you so so much :3
Good video but speaking a collector whenever I buy anything I do one in mint condition personally don't collect Star Wars stuff but I do know that that stuff does sell for alot especially outside the US so i kinda understand where he is coming from
Hi - We are new to all this TH-cam stuff and have come across your channel. We are looking for some inspiration and YOU most certainly have given us some. Thank you for sharing such amazing content. Can’t wait to see more from you. Full watch, likes and sub. We love watching your videos WFA xx
I think everyone should have to work in retail at least once in their life.
ylime thedisneygirl I 100% agree!!
I've been saying that for years upon years! I worked in retail for 25 years and I have lots of stories!
Paulette B
Sounds like a poor life choice.

Magic doesn’t stop when you’re off the clock 😉💕
I just loved that last story! So wonderful!

LOVE the last story, made me want to cry! I did also like the negative stories....

I’m applying for the dcp next year, did you like merchandise? How long were your shifts? And how many breaks did u get?

i love her tiffany necklace
Thanks! It was a gift from my brothers for my 18th birthday ☺️

I feel bad for that guy if he really was a collector :c
I don't really think he was a collector, especially how he reacted when she closed the cases or when they told him that they could track the droids.
Lol! Those negative guest interactions you talked about aren't just at Disney. They're everywhere if you work in the customer service industry.
Hannah Rose Reviews aha very true!
for the guy buying more than 10 droids...couldn't he just buy 5 droids initially? And then come back later, and buy 5 more? And a little bit later, buy another 5?

Banana Man that’s actually so cute omg you just made my day 😅💕 glad you enjoyed it (and like my accent!!)
Great video! I can't wait to hear more guest stories! (positive and negative) :D
Abbie Benford yay so glad you liked it!! I’ll be sure to make a part 2 :)
what does snaped mean
i'm currently 16 and hoping to do the programme in 2021 lol
rihanna fan ah I hope it works out for you! :)
Awesome video...so interesting!
Bruce Liggett glad you enjoyed it ☺️
The light sabre thing is a rip off. Why can't Disney just sell him a bloody piece? Crazy!

I never knew there was a Christmas store by the Muppets. The only one I knew of is in Downtown Disney.
Yeah!! It’s tucked right around the corner by Mama Melrose’s and it’s super small and cute ☺️
Did you wish all of those customers to “have a magical day”? 😉
Ahaha no I bit my tongue 😉
@@emilyswanderland You make me laugh .
have you ever had to tell someone "have a disney day"?
Lol no I’ve just thought it

I am only 12 (lol) and I’m also from the UK but I love Disney so when I’m older I really want to do the dcp so I have some questions
1:how do you apply
2: do you get paid
3: Is the flight and stuff free
Thank you I hope I’m not bugging you byee
Aw you’re so young!! You apply through yummy jobs, you get paid $10 an hour, and you have to pay for your own flights and housing (but Disney provide the apartments). Hope that helps!
Emily’s Wanderland
Omg thank you for replying I thought that this never sent so I asked you more questions on a different video
I do also want to know (I think that this is important idk idk) what corses should I do I’d secondary and collage and if I should go to 6 form or not sorry for all the questions please add me on Instagram because I really want to ask way more questions lol it’s @smallestbodybiggestheart (it’s a fan account) thank you
CC’s Channel there’s no course requirement but you just need to be at university to do it! So a levels are important! :)
Emily’s Wanderland
Ok thank you so much you are like the nicest person I’ve ever met I wish you could meet you but I live up north near Scotland :( but thank you so so much :3
Good video but speaking a collector whenever I buy anything I do one in mint condition personally don't collect Star Wars stuff but I do know that that stuff does sell for alot especially outside the US so i kinda understand where he is coming from
I get that but Disney has the limitation policy to prevent people buying just for the purpose of selling and therefore making money off the company
This was uploaded on my birthday lol 😂
LOL IMAGINE if Indiana Jones went 101 (or 102 I don't remember the codes) that would have been awful. Hopefully she made it. 😬
Lol there’s no way she made it but I wouldn’t put it past that show to be cancelled last minute either 😂
good video
