I can't believe you all stole my retirement idea! Argh! I just hope there's a position on the bus or boat for me when I'm ready to retire. Save me a spot.

I would love to be a cast member working at the wilderness lodge, it's has such a beautiful & majestic ambience that it wouldn't even seem like work

Id love to spend my retirement years on an Attraction, one of the major ones. preferably, like Tower of Terror, Mission: Space, Test Track, Soarin', Kilimanjaro Safaris, or I'd even be happy going back to Splash. You're always busy, and down times happen just often enough to make it exciting, because, really, who doesn't love a good evacuation? I *lived* for evacs. :D

I would want to be a Safari truck driver. I always love going on that ride and how it incorporates the animals with a story. I think this would be great for me.

We have a semi-regular visitor in the chat that drives the Safari Trucks. :) It's fun to talk about with him.

Looks like we all will be applying for the same job. Just want to drive a bus or a boat or a monorail. Fail that, be a starter or grounds crew member at one the golf courses!

Fairy Godmother in the parades or a Jungle Cruise skipper, I love the line about sending unruly children to Small World!

I will have to go with the majority here, and say Monorail driver. However, I am a pretty bad driver now (I am 26) and I know how bad retirees drive (I live in Florida, we have more retirees per square foot than any other state in the Union) so that probably won't be an option for me. To be able to drive something it would most likely need to be on a track and not too difficult to drive, like the Liberty Square Riverboat.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I would love to be one of those that work at the Club 33 just so I can say that I've been inside it. I can't afford to be a member so why not just work there?

After my recent visit I expanded my selection of Disney jobs. The safari truck driver is still the top one on my list. I also would like to be a bus driver or friendship boat driver. It just seems like so much fun going from Epcot to DHS in a 30 minute loop. Finally, I can add monorail driver to it. After all I do have my Monorail drivers license from my recent trip!

My wife and I are actually planning it ... I'll take what they give me, but I'd hope to be a Bus Driver, or at least in front of people somewhere, whether it's announcing something, running something, carrying something, selling something, or whatever something. I'd even work on the back end for a while, but I'd really want to be out where the folks are.

In fact, since we'd be trailering down, I'd love to help take care of Fort Wilderness, help folks, deliver flowers, messages, etc. Maybe in exchange for their naturally high-paying wage (*ahem*) and a free spot in a preferred loop?
