Next Tuesday I have an interview at Design-A-Tee, a small but iconic store on the Marketplace side of Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney). I don't know whether or not I want to go through with it, I'm extremely torn and confused on recent developments.

I hate my current location, the TTC outside of Magic Kingdom so much. It's a slow dead festering shit hole with no advancement. However because it's so slow that I've been able to excel there, I can't handle lots of business, huge lines of people and lots of bodies all in one spot drives me crazy and causes some anxiety. The store I'm at is super slow and even then I freak out when it starts to get super crowded in there.

I've met a lot of friends I've grown attached to at TTC but leaving will mark an end and I will probably slowly lose contact with them just like I did when I first left Disney Springs. That's the absolute last thing I want, that and coupled with Design-A-Tee being very niche in comparison to other merchandise locations at Disney, I'm unsure if there's any room for advancement there either; this is what is causing my torn view and uneasiness about this.

I'm confused on what to do, I don't want to leave my friends but I don't want to waste my career away in some small store in front of a parking lot.

I'm curious as to what big career advancement you hope to make at any merchandise shop at an amusement park

You can actually go pretty far when it comes to working with Disney in any manner. Merlin Entertainments is the same way, and they're somewhat associated with Disney.

An aunt of mine worked in the vault of legoland, and two years later, she's a manager at the Eye of Orlando.

Disney does not require you to get a degree to reach management. Food & Beverage and Merchandise are the fastest lines of business for advancement at Disney.

Hourly Cast Member > Trainer Hourly Cast Member > Relief Coordinator > Coordinator > Management Intern > Manager

When I worked F&B at Disney Springs, I got all the way to Relief Coordinator before I left from the stress.

Out of any store at Disney, you go with Design a Tee?

Disgusting.

Considering the stresses that he would obtain at the restaurants, this is a decent option.

There's always the hat store.

Disney Springs has expanded quite a bit in the past year, and so has the number of occupants. I would have chosen a place like that, especially under the influence of Florida's weather.

Problem is that Design a Tee won't offer a lot of opportunity to advance. It's not a store that garners a ton of foot traffic, and it's fairly tucked away - even more so now that the Disney Springs busloop has moved from the Marketplace. It's too obscure for him to really go anywhere, other than a transfer.

Working in a store like the 365 Days of Christmas would give him more opportunity to prove himself, and build up a resume if he were to apply for a management role.

Days of Christmas is still active on my list of transfers. On my transfers I have:

Days of Christmas
Marketplace Fun Finds
Fort Wilderness Cabins & Campgrounds
Wilderness Lodge Mercantile

I too, have been having job troubles.

My manager tells me that I'll definitely see a promotion by the end of the year, but both she and her boss agree that they think even should I rise to oversee the store one day (which takes many years), I would be a wasted resource for the company.

They're pushing me to go to school and transfer to a position at corporate, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to go back to college.

My experience in internal operations is a huge boon to my resume should I decide to transfer, but I just don't know where to start if I wanted to go back to school.

Disney minimum wage went up to $10 an hour last Sunday, Coordinators make a dollar more. I have no idea what managers make.

Wonder what the pay rate is.

Well it's real dollars not Aussie bucks.
Thats still a horribly low wage, plus the exchange rate is pretty good at the moment, will probably lead in our favour toward your election as well.

Our Dollarydoos will strive again!
