Thu 1/15/2009 5:41a | Are these break area's just not being cleaned at all?
Where do you think the smell is comming from? Is it the trash bins just not being washed out ever so often?
When I worked Main St. Merch (many years ago) I would take my breaks sitting on the storing cable cars right behind the firehouse or the InnBetween.
Where is the breakroom where the smell is really bad? Is it over by guest relations? |

There is also the culture of corporate waste, such as LCD screen nobody looks at and cross-country flights for high-level executives to have meetings about God only knows.
Then there's the most important issue, the pay. Disneyland demands quite a bit from its employees and doesn't pay enough in my opinion. That's fine. You go out and earn what you can earn. If you don't like you leave. And that's exactly what people were doing before this recession. Few people were complaining about working at Disneyland. They were just quitting!

Thu 1/15/2009 3:51p | juicer...yep the Main Street Trolly Cars...the perfect place for a break if you ask me. I remember them will. Not that many people used them and it was always peaceful in my opinion.
I sort of miss those days. |

Thu 1/15/2009 8:27p | No this was not just trash bins that were not cleaned...this looked like big pipes huge compactors more like the entire resort system perhaps. i was walking with the huge crowds trying to exit after the fireworks and just happened to notice the conditions. It was very cold and foggy that night.I'm going to guess top level execs never see this side of Disney. And if they do Shameful!! |

Fri 1/16/2009 2:46a | The horse drawn streetcars are now off limits for CM's to sit in them; too many people were doing just that because the official break area 20 yards north of the car storage area was too smelly and gross. So Circle D management put up big signs saying "NOT A BREAK AREA - DO NOT SIT IN CARS" and you get in trouble if you are caught sitting there now.
Jungle Cruise Skippers generally sit on the steps and milk crates right near boat storage, and the busboys from Coke Corner have carved out a corner across the alley. Merchandise CM's sit in doorways along the alley, if it's not too hot or cold. And only the elderly CM's who don't have a good sense of smell left, or those who are diehard fans of Judge Judy, sit in the approved break area. That's the general scene at Main Street West. All areas of the park have similar setups carved out amongst official and unofficial break areas. Some are better than others, but the break areas on the west side of the park are generally dismal.
It sounds like the CM that Mickeymouseclub saw had figured out a way to wrap their scarf around their face to limit the smell in the approved break area next to the trash compactors. |

Fri 1/16/2009 11:01a | When I trained at Carnation in 1994, we used the Jungle Cruise boats as break areas. That became forbidden about 1997 (I was in SAC Attractions by then), as I recall. Whether for safety, show (leaving food and litter in boats) or just a turf thing (Jungle people can be might particular), I know not. But I was very sad not to be able to relax there when doing MS Guest Control. Sigh.
What is left of the breakroom & offices behind what is now Buzz? |

Fri 1/16/2009 12:54p | sort of off topic question: Can an off-duty (plain clothed)CM go into the break rooms? If so, would DL mind if someone went in on their own time to "spruce" things up in their break room? |

An off-duty CM can't go backstage. You must clock in at Harbor Pointe and enter through the employee entrance.
You cannot enter backstage if you enter through the Main Gates. They will check your ID and if you're not a manager (managers don't wear costumes), you will be asked to leave the way you came. |
