I'd love to be the butler at the begining of the Haunted Mansion. This would be great. :twisted:

We spoke with one of the crew on a Disney boat. You need a Captain's certification to pilot a boat at WDW.

well if i need a certification....phooey! cause next thing you know they will want me to renew it...not sure i could cheat...er pass the test again. actually i have given this one a bit more thought since my last post and i think i would like to figure out a way to become a travel agent that works exclusively on Disney Travel charging only $50 for my efforts....(its retirement..i hope i have enough money stashed that i won't need to make much.) besides it would be a pay increase over what i get paid for doing it now...i've become the traveling to disney Ask Sam where to stay and go and it becomes a challenge for me that i cannot refuse.

No problem, I should be able to get certified by the time I hit retirement age.

If I were to retire at Disney World, I would want to be a bus driver.

I would have to go with a musician of some sort - probably in the dixieland band in New Orleans Square. What could be better than floating on the barge on the river before Fantasmic??

I would like to be a character attendent. My daughter is a "face character" and I think I could be a good character attendent.

I think for me it would be Jungle Cruise Skipper. Corney jokes and new people to meet every 10 minutes could be a lot of fun.

I'm an engineer by profession so Imagineering looks like a great thing to do at any time.
In retirement I would love to drive or maintain the Monorails. 8)

Being a barbershop quartet singer, I'd love to be part of the Dapper Dans! On several of my visits they have let me sing a song or two with them and they gave me my honorary member card.

Otherwise, I love everything about the haunted mansion and have been building haunts for the neighborhood kids since I was a little tyke (I'm 56 now). I would want to be a haunted mansion CM. I've had a lot of practice with the dour expression.
