  • What experience and education is needed for this position?

  • I never realized that some was planning for my shopping enjoyment when I visit Disneyland Park. When I walk into a Disneyland souvenir I am immediately enticed by the products lining the shelves. If you’re not careful, you end up spending a great deal of time just shopping! The choices are numerous, but I always leave feeling like I’ve punched just the right souvenirs.

    Great job!
