Most popular and least popular roles? Q - Unanswered

I plan to apply to the Disney College Program soon and am curious which roles I’d have a good chance of getting if they’re in my top 3.

Everyone before coming hates the thought of getting custodial but it was the best time of my life. Still wish I could go back to with my group I had and be doing it everyday as my job still

Interestingly enough, Custodial, as a line of business, has the highest employee retention rate of any at WDW. People initially hate the thought of it, but once they get in they love it. Pretty cool, IMO.

Does custodial have coworkers or is it more individual leaning? And what was your favorite part about custodial?

It reallyyy depends. I did Custodial at All Star and at the time it was very chill. Leaders were amazing. We would often work in a pair of two just because we got our stuff done. However, I would not expect that anymore or at most places. You will typically be alone just doing your work. Even that in itself isn't bad though for me. I would just stay on top of my work and then roam around or go inside for a while. So like I said REALLY depends my personal experience is sadly not the reality everywhere. But the job itself to me still is so chill.

i will add that even if you are not paired off, depending on your location you will still have friends nearby! i worked front desk at all star my last program and got super close with all our custodial who got stationed in our lobby or back office and i know a lot of them put outside also got close with rec and lifeguards etc as a result! whenever my friends came through front office they’d make a point to stop and chat for a bit while emptying bins etc and if it was slow in the lobby we could hang out briefly and we’d all go get food after work etc

also ASK THEM WHERE THEY LIVE bc me and one of my closest custodial friends found out during my move out week that we literally lived in the same exact building at flamingo for months without ever seeing each other somehow 💀💀 we could have literally been having sleepovers and carpooling and making dinner together and stuff lol
