Frequently Asked Questions
How am I employed by Disney?
External Guides
will be employed on a temporary basis, either as a Casual Limited employee or
on a Temporary Assignment. Internal Guides will be transferred into Adventures
by Disney™ for their assignments and transferred back to their other
business unit upon completion of their Adventures by Disney™
assignment.
How much will I work?
On average, an Adventure
Guide can expect to work anywhere between 50 - 80 days.
Is there opportunity for more work?
As a
growing company we are always looking to harness our resources. In the future
there will be opportunity for guides to work consistently in a calendar year.
This may take the form of trip related field work, guide tool updates and
administrative tasks.
Do I have to live where I am going to be guiding
trips?
No. Generally, our Guides will reside in either the United States
or the United Kingdom and will be transported to the starting point of their
trip departure.
Do I get to go home in between trips?
If you
live in the area where you are guiding, in between trips you are off duty and
free to return home. If this is not the case, a "schedule by schedule" approach
will be taken to determine if and for how long a guide should stay in an area
in between trips.
Who will I be guiding with?
All adventures will
be led by 2 Adventure Guides, you may be partnered with a local expert, travel
industry professional or another Disney trained or experienced Guide. Adventure
Guides come from diverse professional backgrounds; however, they all share the
desire to deliver exceptional Guest experiences and the ability to relate to
every Guest on a personal level.
