Has anyone ever purchased Disney World passed from www.dwtickets.com?

Posted on Mar 31, 2010 under Disney Time Share | 2 Comments


I have purchased tickets from www.undercovertourist.com with no problems whatsoever, but www.dwtickets.com has a lower price for the same ticket. I just don’t want to purchase tickets only to find out later on that there are "strings attached" like a time-share presentation or something like that. So, is anyone familiar with www.dwtickets.com or another site for lower priced Disney World passes? Thanks!

There is no catch to dwtickets.com. I have not bought through though I usually go through mapleleaftickets.com. I have found that the have cheaper prices. I get the dwtickets newsletter and check there site often for tickets.

Working part time at Disney World? 16 y/o student.?

Posted on Mar 28, 2010 under Disney Time Share | 3 Comments


Within the next month or maybe before summer, I’m really hoping to do some work at Disney World. I’m only 16, and I’m pretty serious about school, so I’m afraid I may be in over my head. But I’ve seen many of my friends work there and not become overwhelmed.

Anyways, does anyone know the process? I know I need to go to the Casting building, but from then one what? Fill in an application? Is there an interview the same day? Anything I should prepare for?

Also, will I be asked what type of work I’m interested in? Being 16 with no real experience (besides volunteer work), I’m grateful just getting a simple position. Should I explain I’m a student with a certain schedule?

Unfortunately I can’t really work during the summer since my family has other commitments, so I should start now or never.

And, if you have worked there as a student, how was it?

If you have even a little info, please share! Thanks!

Sweetie, If you are serious about school and you can only work for about a month, given your family’s prior commitments. I saw worry about school. Then do what I did if you still want to work for Disney, go into the Disney College Program. If you work for Disney now you might get to many hours, they are usually good with high schoolers. You sound like me, no previous work experience besides volunteer. Just focus on school right now. Then later on if you want to look into the Disney CP! I hope that helps!

How do I clean a really, super duper, really, really, really, MESSY house?

Well, I am a neat freak and my mom’s job is resale.

Every house is a mess, literally. If I were to share pictures you would probably die of shock about how bad it is.
It’s been like this the past year or two, so it’s not like we have lots of time =(

It’s not like it’s dirty, it’s more like it’s packed with things.
There’s clothing on every chair in the house, clothing on the table, clothing hung on doors, everywhere.
There’s also papers everywhere.
Well, it is dirty, too, but that’s not my main thing.

What are some tips for cleaning a house you can barely walk in?

Thanks!
-We do not own a mop
-Our dishwasher is broken

Ok- as thankfully, I’ve never had one get that bad, I’ll do my best. My advice is think "baby steps"
Pick a smaller room, or area say.. the one that has the dining room table. Then ATTACK it for 1 hour only. Set a kitchen timer somewhere. Really. Get all the clothes off it, and into plastic garbage bags (you’ll do a BOATLOAD more laundry- if you bring it ALLLLLL to the laundrymat and take up 10 machines at once.. then taking the next 3 days doing nothing but laundry). If it’s clean- then it should be put away. Do clothes first- it makes a big impact. You’re likely to keep going, if you see results fast. Then- take any and all dishes and put them in the kitchen.. as NEAR the sink as you can. Don’t worry about doing them now. They were already dirty, you’re just working the dining area. Then take all the papers, and make 2 piles. Keep/file, trash. That’s it. 2 piles. If there are toys, homework, electronics, etc still left— then put those away. Now wipe down the table and chairs, and sweep or vacuum the floor. don’t worry about dusting, or cleaning windows or baseboards, seriously? That’s waaay down the road. After you have this little haven of cleanness, do NOT let anyone put ANYTHING on the table. If you eat at it- you may NOT leave the table without taking the dish with you, etc.
Then… the next day, tackle anohter room, say.. the bathroom. Then the living room, THEN the kitchen. While the kitchen may be the nastiest around, it also takes the longest to clean, and if you have the REST of the house coming together, you’ll want to finish it up.
Good luck!
