While a secondary interview isn't necessarily a guaranteed offer of employment, it's definitely a good sign. If they've sent you to do a secondary specifically with third shift then they are looking at you for that job alone. If they were looking at you for positions in day or night custodial they'd have you do your secondary during the daytime. I would definitely be enthusiastic about being part of the team that works "behind the scenes" to keep the Park magical for Guests and Cast Members. I met some of the best CM's who worked third shift custodial. Good luck to you!

It'll also be fun cleaning the attractions, since my job will be for Disneyland park only from what I was told. So I now wait to meet the custodial manager next Thursday.

After I married, my husband and I would just go to the park for a Sunday afternoon.

I'm still there as often as I can get there. I just moved to San Antonio and I already have two trips planned for the remainder of the year. I'll be there for Halloween Treat and for Candlelight!

Well, I don't know if this message was directed towards me, but I have cleaned backstage restrooms and it's fun. I love working at Disneyland, and I'm glad I got the job.
