Seven Fields resident a finalist for Disney Dream Job

Local resident Justin Muchoney has become one of three finalists for Disney's CMO Dream Job competition. The three finalists will participate in a two-day competition taking place at Walt Disney World April 17 – 18 where they will face tests designed to challenge their CMO abilities including towel-folding, stroller repair, noise-making, park smarts trivia and face painting.

Starting April 17, the in-Park competition videos will be posted on www.DreamCMO.com for a final round of online voting. The ballots will remain open through April 21 (11:59 p.m. ET), and the top vote-getter will be named the Disney Parks Chief Magic Official.



I'll keep Justin's video and link on the front page through the competition. Please vote for him!

Lake Buena Vista, Fla., April 7, 2008 – After three captivating weeks of online voting for Disney Parks’ Top 10 Chief Magic Official (CMO) candidates, Disney Parks and CareerBuilder.com today announced the top three CMO finalists: David Hawley of Roseville, Calif., Justin Vance Muchoney from Seven Fields, Pa. and Tripp West from Powder Springs, Ga. The CMO search generated more than 1,300 entries and nearly 500,000 online votes.

After launching creative campaigns to drive the most votes, David, Justin and Tripp will have 10 days to mentally and physically prepare themselves for a two-day competition at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. The events will begin Thursday, April 17, and end Friday, April 18. The winner will be crowned CMO on Tuesday, April 22, in front of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom.

During Disney’s “Year of a Million Dreams,” the first-ever CMO will travel to Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts and help create magical experiences for guests, participate in special events and work their wizardry behind the scenes with the Walt Disney Imagineers.

“Each finalist should be proud of making it this far – the top three candidates out of 1,300 entries,” said Craig Dezern, vice president, Global Public Relations, Disney Parks. “We are excited to see who will lead the Park challenge, earn the most votes and ultimately be named the first-ever Disney Parks Chief Magic Official during ‘Year of a Million Dreams.’” [more]
