Please review the Guidelines at a Glance
for employment, which we refer to as CAST: Compensation, Appearance, Schedule
Availability and Transportation. These guidelines will explain some of the
policies and procedures Cast Members adhere to as employees of the Walt
Disney World® Resort.
Compensation
All full-time, part-time, and seasonal Cast Members at the
Walt Disney World Resort are paid on a weekly basis. The pay rate for
most entry level positions is $7.55 per hour for full-time, part-time and
seasonal. Please note that some areas, such as Quick Service Food and Beverage,
Outdoor Foods, Bus Driver, Resort Guest Service and Culinary, offer higher pay
rates.
Appearance
The Disney Look is a classic look that is clean, natural,
polished and professional and avoids "cutting edge" trends or extreme styles.
It is designed with both our costumed and non-costumed Cast Members in mind.
Just as an actor or actress would wear a costume themed to the character they
are portraying, a Cast Member wears a costume that supports his or her role as
well.
Requests for an exception to the Disney Look policy for medical
reasons must be presented to the Health Services Department with supporting
medical documentation. A copy of the request and medical information will be
retained at Health Services. A statement of approved restrictions will be
issued at Health Services to be delivered to your manager.
Any
requests for an exception to the Disney Look policy for religious beliefs or
questions regarding the accommodation of medical restrictions or religious
beliefs must be directed to the Cast Image and Appearance office or the Human
Resources representative.
The Disney Look – Includes
but is not limited to the following requirements:

Intentional body alteration or modification for the purpose
of achieving a visible, physical effect that disfigures, deforms or similarly
detracts from a professional image is prohibited. Examples: visible tattoos,
brands, body piercing (other than traditional ear piercing for women), earlobe
expansion, tongue piercing or splitting, tooth filling and visible, disfiguring
skin implants.

which will require work during overnight shifts

You must have a reliable way to get to and from the
