How long must a part time cast member wait before transfering to another job?

If i remember correctly it's either a year or six months. But I'm not positive.

Anyone know the reason behind this rule?

not sure of the official reason, but from a logistical point of view they 'd want to get something back from the money they put into training you.
6 months at the DLR, don't know about the other coastIt's six months at WDW too.
Just remember that it's six months without an attendance infraction or verbal reprimand. Screw up and you start counting over.

I actually haven't started training yet. I am starting training on Sunday and would like to be placed at a different area of the park if possible. I called my coordinator of training to ask if there was anything I can do.

I thought it was no attendance reprimands, not individual infractions. I know people that have called in once or twice and still transferred, even though the infraction was within the past 6 months.

I've never really studied the issue carefully as I hired into the role I had hoped to work my way up to, and have never transferred or tried to. :)
I've just recommended that some specific *other* Conductors transfer. Some of you know who I mean. :twisted:

Six months? It's only 3 months for me.
Six months? It's only 3 months for me.That's because you work at Universal. Note that this thread is in the Walt Disney World forum. :readit:
Bad enough the guests can't tell the difference....

I think he was just pointing out the difference in the two. Six months is a really long time to be stuck in a place you don't like. Do they make exceptions? I'm so glad that Universal does. Example, when I started working at Universal, I wanted to work at Men in Black more than anything. Well, after a week of bad training, the staff using profanity everytime they were backstage and discussing things in the breakroom that would make your hair curl, the management not caring, me being thrown into rotation on my second day and then getting a safety violation, and basically just bad attitudes and no help from everyone that works there, I decided I couldn't stay there. So, I went as high up as I could find and told them what was going on, and got a transfer to someplace better the same day. Does Disney offer this type of transfers if you decide that it is just not working out, or do you still have to wait?

I know that to transfer to most jobs in the JOBS listings, we're required to be employed by the company for at least a year, in our current job for at least 6 months, and free of disciplinary action for at least 6 months. I think to transfer to operations positions within DLR or WDW we only have to be employed by the company for 6 months but I'm not sure. Attendance infractions don't count as disciplinary action, but I would imagine they'll look at your points if you want to transfer to another operations job.

I put in for a transfer as a Casual Regular after 3 months.
...I never got it though. So I'm still stuck at stupid-ville. It's been since September, so I don't think I'm getting it, haha.

I'm going to an intenship at the MK in June. :) So I just have to hold out a little longer...
Plus, I've been there since June 6th, so I'm nearly 9 months in. I applied for a transfer in September, after my 3 month mark.

What is a Casual Regular?
What is a Casual Regular?It's Disneyspeak for "part time".
Other such terms are:
FT = Full Time
CP = College Program
CS = Casual Seasonal = Full time, under 6 months/year, no benefits or seniority
Of course these terms apply to WDW. I understand Disneyland has a different set of employment categories.
