1. The Veteran Cast Member

Has all the golden pins on their name badge, knows all the secrets and probably married to a co-worker. Way older than anybody should be working for a cartoon mouse.

2. The "Earning My Ears" Cast Member

Bright eyed, bushy tailed and often lost.

3. The Serious Cast Member

They are a glorified bouncer for Friar Tuck. Nobody even knows what a Friar Tuck is.

Yet, they think they are security for Emma Watson. And you better not let them see you sneak a Mickey Bar, heaven help you.

4. The Clueless Cast Member

They could be working at Six Flags over Georgia for all they know. Their knowledge of Disney is about as grand as their knowledge on Thermal Nuclear Astra Physics.

"Who? King Louie? You mean the legendary trumpet player?" "Oh right Pocahontas, my favorite Lady Gaga song."

However no matter which type of Cast Member you are you will always...

5. Disney Point

Everybody Disney points.

6. Take a Stand

No don't stand out, do the opposite of that. It's just standing. Sometimes a well placed sign could do your job.

But always remember to...

7. Smile

You know in “The Dark Knight” when the Joker asks how he got those scars. He lied. He worked at Disney and his face just stuck that way.

No smile would be complete without saying...

8. Have A Magical Day

Becomes a normal way of saying goodbye.

Which means when you leave Disney...

9. You Forget You're Not At Work

Via tumblr_mvr17xz3vc1sge3e8o1_500

Until enough strangers on the street give you this look for smiling at them and telling them to have a magical day.

10. Disney Lingo and Code

'And what do you do at your job?'

"I'm friends with Donald."

'Oh, you're friends with Donald Duck? You don't sound like a crazy person at all.'

Which brings us to...

11. Characters

They are that character.

"What did you do on your day off?"

'Oh my, I went frolicking in the forest and picked berries with my animal friends.'

"You sound insane Stacy."

'My name is Snow White.'

You'll probably become...

12. Good at Charades

It's the only way to communicate sometimes.

13. You Magically "Acquire" Anything with Mickey's Head on it.

It usually starts out with something small until...

14. This Becomes You

Via disneystore.com

Except you're closer to 30 than 5.

But it's okay because...

15. You Feel Like a Kid Working at Disney

Via tumblr.com

And you have the greatest father figure of all considering...

16. Walt is Your Dad

Via tumblr_n377ywLsF31reifajo1_500

Oh, sorry not that Walt...

This Walt

Via tumblr_mvvkgxId1G1rcnkw9o1_500

Yeah this guy.

17. Guests Will Upset You

Via tumblr_mzvobv7pnp1torq82o1_500

So sometimes...

18. You Just Can't Be Bothered

Via tumblr_mxatpuhXvh1smyf9to4_500

And you start greeting every guest like this.

Speaking of guests...

19. Crasians

(You don't want to know what I had to Google to find that image.)

Characters understand these guest more than most.

20. You Start to See Disney Everywhere

Via tumblr_m9gyu0UbHZ1qkee8fo1_500

Hidden Mickey's aren't so hidden anymore.

Which means your friends begin to notice your perks...

21. Free Passes

Via tumblr_lzvr17OnnT1r9gnbao1_500

They will come out of the wood work.

"I'm sorry who are you?"

'Your cousin Romoana, twice removed on Facebook.'

22. You Feel Like You Have Something To Do With The Success of Disney Films

Via tumblr_n2srwrCfxa1roy5zpo1_500

On Facebook you congratulated Frozen for winning an Oscar. The closest thing you had to do with the success of that film is sell Elsa dolls for 50 bucks a pop.

But you only feel this way because you have an overwhelming sense of...

23. Pride

Via tumblr_m8adc2ePtl1qhh3eho1_500

And you should. You work for the biggest entertainment company in the world.

Which means...

24. Dreams Do Come True

Via tumblr_mq27m0gnzh1rhzkxto1_500

It's hard not to believe this. You see it everyday when a kid meets their hero and unlike an adult meeting their hero, the kid isn't let down. Mickey and the gang are as real as the ice cream on the tip of their tongue.

Take satisfaction Dream Weaver.
