Maybe if we all didn't hide and pretend we are all knowing and try and understand that certain situations can cause someone to feel like they are being picked on because of those certain people. Then people would not be so much a bully as Brad was.

Originally Posted By Brad Thank you sir. The "B" word(bullying)has become the new "go to" term for Gen Y and younger.

First person is now supposed to feel ashamed and massively chagrined, when in fact they were simply pointing out a fact. Tough luck to the easily offended and knee jerk Gen Y'ers but I WILL NOT wear it. It is not MY fault you wish to continue in such a recalcitrant manner and I will not be a party to your desire to have your laziness endorsed. Learn to write in a more effective manner, so you are understood, or stop posting.
Originally Posted By Brad should be "don't want to hear" "are offensive". and "YOU'RE A BULLY!!!!" In place of an edit function, I offer these as my only way of correction.

If it's something so simple as putting in paragraph breaks to make reading easier, I'd think I'd want to make that adjustment. When this person continued to write 40 line posts with no break at all, well, it was just hard to read. I think we all wanted to read what this person had to say, but the format of the posts made that very difficult.
Originally Posted By steamboat1928 Hello Everyone, "Roadtrip" you make some great points! I apologize upfront, I didn"t mean to make me sound so naive.

We been to Italy as well as Hawaii and had a wonderful time yet neither of us had a desire to go back but this Dec. will be our 5th trip to WDW. I know I'm painting with a very broad brush right now but it doesn't do any harm to feel things out.Hey "Roadtrip" you forgot to mention the I-4 parkinglot. Tiffany limo told us about that one. Any thoughts...
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Just realize the downside... very hot and humid summers, not great career opportunities (which it seems are no longer much of a concern for you, as they weren't for me when I moved to Branson), and the possibility of missing "back home" more than you anticipate. If you have considered those things and still want to move, why not? Most people I knew thought I was absolute freaking nuts for moving where I moved, but I have been happy here. I guess my final piece of advice would be to NOT work for the Mouse. It seems many people who have quickly lose their love for the parks.

The retirees who work at WDW seem to enjoy it. They often are part-timers and get the perks of free admission when their grandkids come to town.
Originally Posted By danyoung I would agree with that. I've talked to many retired people who have moved to Orlando and really love their part time work for the World.

I think retired CM's come into the job a little more realistic about what working for the mouse will look like. They aren't looking to build a career so they can enjoy the experience for what it is. And the perks like free park admission is a great plus.
Originally Posted By leobloom ^^Oh absolutely. The retirees tended to be the more pleasant and satisfied CMs. Young adults who are trying to support themselves on Disney wages are often overworked, disgruntled, or Disney addicts themselves.
Originally Posted By danyoung I completely agree. When I hit retirement (way too few years in the future!), I won't be working for income. I'll be working to get out of the house, interact with people, and hopefully enjoy what I do. Driving boats for Disney seems to fit that dream perfectly!
Originally Posted By LuvsDsnyTrips I could do that.....work for Disney... I can see myself in a restaurant, attraction, gift shop whatever... AWWWW...working when one doesn't need to.....yep, that will be the day!
Originally Posted By steamboat1928 Hello Everyone, Before I start I'd like to thank "Fantasmicmagic82" for your offer. I should have said something in my last post. My intention was not to snub you. Any light Anyone can shed on moving would be greatly appreciated. As far as your reasoning in your post (#19) I don't know what was said, I do not want to know what was said and I figure all parties involved or not can just move on! I'm pretty much a caveman who has just recently found out the many ways to use a laptop. So please bare with me. I think right now the housing market is the biggest lure to the FL. area. My preference so far is either a condo or some manufactured golfcart riding village. No house I don't want anymore upkeep!! As far as working there, I can see roadkills point. I'd hate to walk that fine line between guest or CM and knowing how things are done and actually "seeing that man behind the curtain" if you'll pardon the phrase. I think the only jobs I'd want to do is either drive the monorail or pilot one of the boats that take you from DHS to Swan+D., Yacht,etc. Your thoughts..
