Disney has big plans for 2008, which they’re calling their “Year of a Million Dreams”. Despite hitting the headlines early this year for banning kids from their gourmet restaurant, they’re heading on into their dream year with a hunt for a new staff member: they’re recruiting a Chief Magic Official who’s going to be “spreading magic” (which sounds basically like doing PR work) during the 2008 celebrations.

You can apply for the CMO job at their special website which includes a Magic Aptitude Test (I took and was told that my character is similar to Mickey Mouse, and I’d make a good CMO). Although it is actually a legitimate job, the requirements sound a little out of the ordinary, as they say candidates should be:

happy, never grumpy; able to easily befriend dwarfs, dogs, monsters and mice; have good manners - but also be able to pillage and plunder with pirates when necessary. Also required: pockets full of pixie dust, an aversion to poisonous apples, an interest in oversized teacups and flying elephants and, most importantly, a belief in all things magical.

Sounds like a job for all of us kids who never really grew up - and who want to do a bit of traveling around the Disney sites. Let us know if you apply!
