Hi Guys!
I am seriously considering applying to be a ride operator at Disneyland for an 8 month contract, but i have a few questions. If anyone can help me, it would be brilliant!
1) Do Ride operators "rotate rides", or are you permanently based on one ride?
2) Are uniforms provided when you get to a ride, or do you have to buy your own? (E.G ToT, are their bellhop outfits waiting for you?)
I know there are other questions like this on here, but i can't seem to find the answers i'm looking for!

You'd have to ask the cast members for a better answer, but I think some rides do a rotation (like Casey Junior and Storybook Land). Also, you'll be given a costume. You pick them up at the start of your shift at the costuming building in the studios (the one between Ratatouille and Crush's Coaster).

I'm hoping to set up a page like this

for every role so if you like post me a list of all the possible questions you can think of here: http://www.thebritishfrog.com/forum/topic/91
I can get them all answered for you!
Here's some general information to get you started:

Or, to answer on this forum:

1) It depends on the attraction. Many small rides (especially in Fantasyland) share their staff and you'll work on all or several of them in one day; a big attraction like Pirates may have a small one attached to it (in this case, the tree house).
2) You pick your costume pieces based on your size in the Costuming building, as Meph indicates. It remains Disney's, don't think you can take it home with you!

If you really want to know what it's like working as a ride op I did a daily blog here > http://www.mepipe.com/2011/12/working-a ... -16th.html
