Days Off- Where The Magic Really Begins


One of the best things about the Disney Cultural Exchange program is your days off work! I mean where else in the world can you casually stroll into the magic kingdom in the morning (for free may I add) and go in a party bus to down town Orlando at night.

Depending on your job role will determine the amount of days off you get. Some people only got one day off a week where others got two, for Disney lifeguards it will depend on what resort you work at.  Some lifeguards were working twelve hour shifts and only had one day off a week.  other lifeguards only worked six hour shifts and had two days off a week. One piece of advice I would give anyone doing this programme is to make sure you are active on your days off, you will regret sitting in your apartment watching Netflix.  Some of my best friends of the program were made through spending time together on our days off.

Being a cast member at Disney means you get access to all four Disney theme parks and two water parks, this will give you endless amounts of fun on your days off work. Needless to say, there are more than just theme parks in Florida. If you are a shopaholic like myself you will be able to spend a pretty penny in all the outlets in Florida, making that pay check not stretch very far. Florida has some of the most beautiful beaches in America and is a amazing way to chill on your day off.  Orlando nightlife is also great, there is nothing better than at the end of your working week to have a couple of drinks and dance away the stress from work.
