It is my job to go to Disney World almost every single day!
I can’t lie. I feel like being a Disney World expert who makes YouTube videos to help people plan their trips is one of the best, if not the coolest, jobs in the world! My office is the “Most Magical Place on Earth.” I get to hang out with my fun co-workers, and I commute on the monorail and Skyliner. I still can’t believe I get to do what I do every single day, and I’m so grateful still feel the Disney magic by seeing the small details . Although I love my job, there is one harsh reality that comes with being an AllEars Reporter and YouTuber.
One of the best parts of my job is getting to try all the yummy new snacks and food that pop up around the resort. I even get to dine at fancy table service restaurants to review their menus so that our followers and readers can know exactly where to go when they vacation at Disney World.
I wish I could try food every day, but that just is not the case. For example, I am on a mission to do 1,000 things in Disney World in 100 days. That is a lot to do in a short amount of time! Sometimes, my park days are full of doing as much as I can, which means I do not really have time to break and get a meal in the parks.
As much as I would love to stop for a bite to eat or grab a Mickey Premium Bar but, sometimes I just do not have time. I know this may be shocking for some people, and it is even surprising for me. When I used to visit Magic Kingdom on vacation, I always would make it a point to ride Space Mountain, but now when I go to the parks for work, I do not always have time to do the things that the traditional Disney World guest would get to do, and that is okay!
The AllEars team and I are always on the go. For example, the other day, Sage helped me on my 1,000 things in Disney World in 100 days challenge. One of the tasks we were given was to meet Cinderella at Princess Fairytale Hall, who just so happens to be my favorite Disney Princess.
While we were in line, Sage playfully made fun of me as we all make fun of each other, because I was eating a bag of Lays chips for my breakfast. But I was not alone in my weird breakfast choice. Sage shared that he ended up eating cold, leftover Chinese food for breakfast while rushing out of his house to get to work.
We really do mean it when we do not always have time to enjoy a traditional meal at Disney World and instead just eat whatever snacks we bring in the time we have downtime, like waiting in line to meet princesses.
I am so grateful for my job and the team I get to work with. Sometimes, we have to snack on non-Disney World food to stay on schedule and make the best content. I promise, we are fed! It just might not be our favorite go-to meal in the parks! Regardless, I love my job, and I hope I will never take it for granted!

What is something you always do when you visit Disney World? Let me know in the comments!
As a casual viewer from the other side of the globe who only gets to WDW every 20 years (!), I’m really enjoying your 1,000 things in 100 day series (is there a sweepstake running on whether you’ll get it all done?)!
Keep up the awesome work Emma (and Sage and Quincy)
One thing you should all be aware of , and not sure you hear this much, but you do a very good job. I, for one, look forward to reading and viewing your offerings. You make it easier to plan vacations at WDW and you have helped me, anyways, temper my frustration with the changes Disney has made since the pandemic. So I thank you.
All that bring said, I would also add that , should you desire a change in careers, go to nursing school and become an RN and work in a hospital. The downsides are the same: always on the go, no breaks, eating on the run, feeling like you didn’t get everything done you wanted or needed to, and an occasional difficult patient to have to face. While you don’t provide great help and satisfaction to many like you do, the one or two or three patients (I was an ICU nurse) provide amazing reward. There is nothing like going home at the end of the day knowing you helped save a life or that the patient and their family smiles and looks relieved to see you would be taking care of them when you enter their room.
So if the pixie dust begins to wear off for any of you, consider nursing. The profession could use you.
