Then the conversation turns to Disney stuff. Why that's the ONLY job they hear, I'll never know, but it is. I went through my resume, discussing my experience as a financial planner, licensed stock broker, marketing specialist, teacher, and yep, a little bit of time at Disney during high school and college.
The reason I'm writing this is because, for some strange reason, my last two clients asked me what I did before becoming a real estate broker. When I finally turned in my ears, I was one of the 5 Mike Fink Keelboaters that brought the keelboats from Liberty Square to its rightful home in Frontierland, after serving a year in the tunnels as an operations manager. Like almost every Orlando resident, I served my time working for the mouse, spending 7 years on and off, working in Epcot attractions (RIP World of Motion and Horizons - or MOHO for you CMs out there), and various roles in the Magic Kingdom. I was raised on the west side of town, very near Disney - close enough to see the fireworks nightly - actually, as a kid, I just heard them nightly, and they always woke me up.
I was born in Miami, but moved to Orlando when I was 6 months old. I guess I should preface this post with my brief history, and why I'm qualified to even discuss this.įirst, I am a native Floridian - one of only four (number might be off slightly). Trust me, it's not because I took a Mickey oath saying I would never discuss the "behind-the-scenes" stuff at Disney, but just because I'm not really a Disney fan.
