Hurricane season is vastly approaching us Floridians, and to get prepared Disney gets cast members from each location to be its ride-out crew. Well me being the brave one that I am (or the scared one who gets free, completely safe Disney shelter haha) decided to be the Captain for team Germany. Basically what I have to do is get a crew of twenty of my cast members to sign up with me and we have to get measurements of windows and door frames of all the buildings in the Germany pavilion, and put sand bags in front of doors and board up the windows. Once the hurricane is formed, we will head to our "safe zone" and ride out the hurricane. Then after its gone and safe, usually 72 hours later, we get to go and clean up the park and make it show ready for our guests again. I'm hoping it's a slow hurricane season, although I did hear that all crew members who actively participate in a ride-out get a free Disney resort weekend stay as well as dinner for four at any restaurant and mostly any of the resorts! That in itself is compensation to me!!! Wish me luck, Disney has only closed its parks once and that was four years ago for Charlie!!
