CM Security and Costume Policy

[Soarin08]

You say that... my British CM friend got his iPad stolen by one of his coworkers so we're not all clean-cut and wonderful people.

I say, old boy, that's poor form! (in my best British accent)

I so just read that in a British accent... spot-on!

Epcot still has the security check for cast. We are required to show a work ID (and a photo ID if our pic is not on the ID, only ICPs, CRPs, and full/part time have photo work IDs, regular CPs don't) and have bags checked both when leaving and entering. And if we make a purchase and are leaving, we have to show the receipts and have it compared to what is in the Disney bags.

As for the other parks, MK has security checks for CMs at West Clock where the CM buses pick up; not sure about DAK, as I've never entered backstage. I did DHS once; they also checked.

I did accidentally take my hat from SSR home on my last CP... I AM SERIOUS. It was a mistake and ended up mixed in my luggage. They never knew.

Could you help us out with some of the abbreviations? I know CP stands for College Program, and CM is for Cast Member (I feel like I am on a weird episode of Sesame Street!) but what is ICP (International College Program?), CRP and SSR?

Internal cramping problems, short for crap, and selective seratonin reuptake.

CRP- cultural representative program. This is different from the International CP; the participants stay a full year. They're the ones who work exclusively at Epcot.

SSR is Saratoga Springs.

Thanks! Sometimes I can figure acronyms out if I sit and ponder awhile, but sometimes I just end up scratching my head and feeling a little stupid It took me a long time to get used to seeing MNSSHP (Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party), or whatever that was that people were talking about a lot for awhile!
We like trying to chat with the CRPs ~ they always seem like they are eager to chat about their native lands

Haha, it's my bad... I'm so used to speaking in CM shorthand, I tend to forget not all of my friends are cast members...
