Ever read about the underground housing and schools for Disney workers? Not sure if its actually true or not.

There are tunnels that is true. And the housing is true. The "cast" have the option to live in Disney housing. I was told $100 a week. $400 a month has to be great for Orlando but it is dorm style in that you WILL have 1 to 2 room mates. The girl giving us the scoop had gotten to a level of manager in the service departments. We spoke to her because she was waiting tables (off resort). she said she quit because she was tired of it, but did not regret it. One person in our group said "sounds like a cult" to which our waitress said, "EXACTLY!!" She made it sound like you get addicted to the place and all the good experiences. Probably not as over the top as the OP, but there are tons of opportunities to make a kids year or lifelong memory. I saw at least 3 "make a wish kids" while I was there.

But even everyday interactions with kids has to be enjoyable. I'm sure there are horror stories, but by and large everybody there is happy and ecstatic to be there.

The cost of admission is high enough to keep trolls at bay.
