I have worked for Disney for 6 months my first role as a Cast Member at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resort but I now work Custodial at Epcot.
When I worked at Walt Disney World I was in Outdoor Foods working the popcorn and ice cream wagons. My job wasn't really unusual, but two jobs you won't find most other places would be the people who paddle canoes in Frontierland and the crew that sets up the fireworks every night from Spring to Autumn.
One day my PAC shift at magic kingdom in Frontierland was to walk up and down the road for my 8 hour shift telling people "It is illegal to feed wild alligators in the state of Florida. Please do not try to feed the alligators your turkey legs."
My friend had an awesome job there! At the Alien encounter she would walk in the rafters and shine a flashlight down at the audience. Then she would come back and sit on a couch and wait for the next sound booms to do the same at the other theater. That was it! Jealous. My job was Parade audience control :just set up the parade ropes and talk to guests.
Am i right in thinking the water in fantasmic is only a few inches deep? scuba divers seem a bit extreme.
Fantasmic takes place in the same water that the Steam Boat and Pirate Ship go through, so the water has to be quite deep.

I had a friend who used to work at the Fort Wilderness Campfire Sing-along. I don't think it operates this way anymore, but the show is 30-45 min long. All the employees had to be able to be the singer AND/or play Chip or Dale. They worked 10 or 12-hour shifts and had to go around and catch snakes and stuff during the day before showtime.
I've had to sit in the photo edit room at Epcot's Spaceship Earth and delete inappropriate photos. I've seen some really raunchy stuff! They still have that position on the rotation to this day.
I had to clean the pigeon coops twice. Not fun at all.
Disneyland opened in 1955 not 1959...
Disneyland opened in 1955 but the subs didn't open until 1959.
