No More Cast -A-Way

Good Afternoon!

For your information, We will no longer be recruiting or handling anything with Walt Disney World, We will no longer be your point of contact.

This means that everything having to do do with your arrival at Disney should be referred directly to roger.antoniazzo@disney.com or michael.d.almeida@disney.com

We will however still be recruiting for Disney Cruise lines, so if after your program you are interested, please go to our website www.cast-a-way.com and fill out our online application.

It has been a pleasure meeting you and I wish you much success on your program.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Eric Theriault
Cast-a-Way

At first I started to panic. What do you mean Cast-A-Way is no longer responsible for hiring? What does this mean? Then just over two hours later I got this e-mail:

Greetings from Walt Disney World,

As you prepare to depart for your experience here at Walt Disney World, we have some very important information to share with you. Here at Walt Disney World, we are always seeking out the most efficient ways to make our candidates have the most seamless experience possible.

With that said, it is with much excitement that I introduce you to your new Procurement Allies, Yummy Jobs. How does this affect you as candidate in Canada? Yummy Jobs will now be your main point of contact re: all pre-trip planning information for your experience here at Walt Disney World.

However, moving forward, you must contact Yummy Jobs (see contact information below) with this information.

We are very excited to grow our partnership with Yummy Jobs into Canada. We have worked very closely with them over the years with our Western Europe Region.

In addition to handling pre-trip work, Yummy Jobs will also be pre-screening and hosting all future Disney International Program presentations. If you have friends or acquaintances that are interested in our programs, please refer them to Yummy Jobs as they are now the main point of contact for Canada.

Thank you in advance for responding immediately to Yummy Jobs! We look forward to your arrival here at Walt Disney World!

Sincerely,

Naturally, after this e-mail I was a little relieved, there was more information on who would be handling everything, but I was still nervous. Would all the information be transferred? Why were they asking me what position and start date I was offered? Shouldn't they know?! Are they going to change my start date?

I responded to the e-mail, so we'll see what happens! I'll keep you updated!
