What is a resort hopper?

[Megg568]

A hopper doesnt have one specific role or location. Usually they are located at Epcot. When you get to work everyday you check on a list to see where you are working that day, and go get a costume. It could be anything. Attractions, Custodial, Food and Beverage, etc. So those people get cross trained in lots of different areas. It would be cool because then you'd get to experience more than one role, but at the same time, you'd probably never get very close with the people you work with.

And there were 2 different types of hoppers according to the sheet. The resort hopper is only at the Resort Hotels. A hopper hopper is the park one. I said I wouldn't mind being the basic hopper.

[Megg568]

Was that your top choice?

[figmentspark]

Was that your top choice?

No, my top choice was Operations but Hopper was a close second.

Generally they work foods, although they are trained in everything. Hoppers have like 4 weeks of training. They call themselves Rescue Rangers. Epcot is the only park that uses Rescues that I know of. I know in Magic Kindgom merch we just do without because it's easier to work with less people who know their job than more who don't.
