2. Great Movie Ride Gangster and Bank Robber
Cast Members working on attractions play a very visible role in the operations of Disney's parks. Few, though, are so heavily involved in a ride's actual plot as those that work on the Great Movie Ride, portraying a gangster or bank robber that "hijacks" the ride vehicle. A good performance can elevate the experience of riding the attraction from an average one to a great one.
1. Railroad Operator / Conductor
Walt Disney loved steam trains, so much so that he built a small-scale railroad in his own back garden. He regarded the Cast Members on the Disneyland Railroad as so important than he employed them through his own company, and even personally autographed their paychecks. This made working on the railroad one of the most prestigious positions at the park. Those days are in the past, but working on the railroads that circle Disney's Magic Kingdom-style parks is still a special job. The trains, of course, are real - there's nothing fake about these transport systems. And you'll be satisfying two sets of people - the kids who come to ride the trains, and the inner child within that longs to operate them.

Does Disney hire retired teachers? I'm 54 and would even be interested in working full time now! I have business and sales experience besides my teaching experience. Where do I find available positions?
Yes, you should look up Disney Casting. As a former teacher, you'd be a natural pick for someone who would eventually become a trainer. Also, there are education jobs with the company if you have no interest in food prep or ride operations.

Thanks Nicolas! I did a search but found nothing right now. I will continue to look. It would probably be helpful to be in touch with a company HR person possibly. Do you work for the company now? Could I possibly get your email address?
You forgot Baby Matron. I loved working in the baby care/ lost children. We greet guests and look at cute kids and babies all day in the adorable, antique and air conditioned baby care center. So fun!
Any of these jobs would be great. Full Time in resort or in the any of the theme parks would also be a dream job
