I would love to work in the horticulture backstage. They must have amazing greenhouses and such backstage! Think of all the wonderful topiaries, the poinsettia Christmas trees they put up, etc. ]

Plus even working in the greenhouse as a kid I loved that it was always warm and sunny!

Timekeeper, that sounds like a great job. I'd like to work with you - growing tomatoes into Mickey heads.

I was going to say "be an Imagineer" but that' s a day job, isn't it?

Any of the pilots or engineers would be great - boat, monorail, or railroad.

My absolute Disney dream job would be to sing with the Dapper Dans on Main Street. I sing in a Barbershop Quartet and whenever we visit WDW, I always find the guys and will sing a song with them when they have finished their set.

My wife and I are quite serious about moving to Orlando when we retire in about 8 years and working for the Mouse. From time to time there are auditions for the Dans and I hope to give it a shot when retirement comes!

Gotta have a dream.....

I'd love to be a monorail driver/pilot - you get to see the magic kingdom, epcot and some of the resorts every day as well as bay lake and your in air conditioned comfort all day (with a seat, lol)

Working at the Tower of Terror (not in the gift shop) - I love the music, the theme, the dire personalities!

Working in the monorail seems fun. Although I think I'd get bored after awhile.

I'd also like to work in one of the big rides, like Expedition Everest or Space Mountain, so when they break down I can walk through with the lights on and get people off.

I want to work at the rides. First choice would be the Haunted mansion, then any of the roller coasters. Really any ride even in Fantasyland because it would be so much fun to watch the people getting off of the rides.

I'd take any ride posting, especially inside Indiana Jones, the Haunted Mansion, or Tower of Terror.

I'd really like to be one of the hostesses on Main Street. I love the costumes.

I always wanted Disney to allow Popcorn Vendor franchises. This way I could make serious cash. I have a location in mind at MK but I dare not say where less someone steal it!

I don't know why I picked popcorn, just something I spoke to my wife aqbout the last time we were there. If I did retire there I would probably become a bus driver.

The Haunted Mansion is another ride I'd want to work in. Splash Mountain, too because you get to see everybody soaked as they get off.

The only ride I wouldn't want to work in is It's a Small World.

I always wanted to be a part of either a show or parade. I guess that wouldn't really work for retirement, huh?

Maybe a tour guide...

...but I think the best retirement would be as a park guest.

YES! I'd love to win the lottery so I could move to Orlando and live at Disney World for the rest of my life.

yep...that's about it
