A year and a half ago I trained as Mugsi Toccata, and on the 18th I’m going to train as Kate Durango! I’ve been waiting eagerly to become a bandit and I’m so excited to start blowing banks and riding off into the sunset! #thelittlestbandit #mediakatedurango #greatmovieride #disneycastmember (at The Great Movie Ride)

Happy Great Movie pRide Day! As a little girl I was terrified of this ride, but I came back when I was fifteen and loved it, and then came back as a shy eighteen-year-old to work there. I learned and grew so much during my college program. Now I’m a tour guide, a gangster, and a trainer. Thanks to my original training squad- Jamie Kern, Tracie Hardy, and Danielle Salieski- and my new squad- Tracy Fox, J.B., and Jose Santos. And thanks to my gangster mom and dad, Gabe Jarmillo and Jennifer Vasquez. And next month, I’ll have new parents to thank when I take on the role of Kate Durango and start riding off into the sunset! I can’t imagine my life without this ride and these people, and I’m so very blessed. #greatmovieride #greatmoviepride #greatmovieprideday #disneycastmember #disneycastside

Stranger Things at Disney

So I work as a gangster at the Great Movie Ride, right? And we’re pretty sure the place is haunted (which is a whole separate post by itself). Well, last night Bryce’s phone started frantically blinking on and off, on and off, and NO ONE COULD GET IT TO STOP.

Bryce responded by picking up a cigarette and shouting “WILL! WILL, WHERE ARE YOU? WILL?”

So if you hear about Disney’s Hollywood Studios getting swallowed up by the Upside Down, it probably started at the Great Movie Ride.

So on my gangster show I announced I was going to collect up everyone’s valuables, and a teeny tiny toddler in row three held up his blankie. And that is the story about how Mugsi nearly stole a baby because he was just too adorable. #thelittlestmugsi (at The Great Movie Ride)

So I’ve been trying to find info on seasonal cast members, and I’ve not been able to find much info. I know you have to work 150 hours on a rolling calendar, but do you or anyone else know how much time you must be available for at the beginning to train? And any other useful info? I know the system has changed the past couple of years so just looking for anyone that could help! Thanks!

Hello friend!! I am here to help!!

If I remember correctly, you have to be available for at least three months. It’s enough time to get through the process of Traditions/welcome to your area/park tour/training and then work for a little bit before you can move on. Honestly, it’s really difficult to get seasonal status. So it might be better to apply for part time and drop down to seasonal if you can manage it!

A year ago this month I joined the most infamous crime family at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I’ve hijacked a ton of tour guides, made dozens of children cry, attempted to steal the treasure of the gods about a bajillion times, and shot out that red light a hundred times a day (or, you know, made Beans do it for me). Proud to be a part of this crazy family. #thelittlestmugsi (at The Great Movie Ride)
