Attractions CMs were getting more than the required lunch + two 15 minute breaks. Of course, Disney realized that 15 minute rotations was underutilizing CMs. It doesn’t matter how if you’re a tall, strapping 19-year-old: on a hot summer day, you’ll need a switch after several trips on the canoes keeping up that high energy spiel. A dispatch position at may seem laid back, but they’re watching for kids not well seated, fingers that could get smashed, etc., holding their hands over the emergency stop button.
More importantly, you might be one of the button pushers at Big Thunder Mountain, where you need to stay focused and vigilant at all times for any number of safety concerns. Even the most enthusiastic Jungle Cruise skipper needs a break from talking and being “on” after doing three trips in a row. Some of these positions are mindnumbingly repetitive if you let them be. The rationale for staying in one task not more than 15-30 minutes is fatigue. When people were taking lunches, you might stay in the same spot for 30 minutes. You’d work a rotation of three or so positions, staying in one place until someone came back from break and bumped you to the next station. Indeed, in the old days it was approximately every 15 minutes on most attractions. Now if one is trained in Custodial, that is the easiest job to pick up shifts because you can work ANYWHERE! If you are Merchandise you can work at other stores but you have to pick up a costume to do it, or if you do often you can probably hold two costumes (they keep very detailed track of what you have.) DD had two jobs at once, DisneyQuest and RescueRanger - outdoor GR in Disney Springs during all the construction to help people find their way around etc. If you are very good at something others hate you might find yourself sent there over and over, DD was often at the Soarin' FP+/SB merge because guests were so ugly and she could handle it, some of the CMs were often in tears. Now at Soarin' she only rotated within the ride itself because they had specific costumes and the ride has many jobs. She was also a Hopper so cross trained including Custodial, which she had to use a few times at Soarin' when custodial wouldn't show up. My DD worked at DisneyQuest and she was trained in every single attraction in there and would rotate often. You might work Buzz Lightyear, AstroOrbiter and COP. You might work Peter Pan, Small World and Carousel. Think about costumes, one will always be working within the area that their costume works. It's a pretty efficient system and it keeps people moving through out the day.
It may be to go to a certain position and send that CM to break, it could be to add another position into the rotation (as the day progresses and it gets busier), put through another "bump" or, if there are no scheduled breaks or rotations, it may assign a task such as to sweep the area or assist at another position for 15 minutes. Once the rotation is done, that last person signs back in and is given a task to do. Rotations are designed to be efficient but also provide CM's some inside time when possible, so they are not outside all day. A rotation is also set up in the system, usually every hour, and that moves the CM's to the next position on the list ( the white slip of paper you may see CM's hand off). A CM is assigned a position at the attraction when they arrive at the start of their shift, certain positions have set start times (which can be changed depending on park attendance). A rotation is also set up in the system, usually every hour, and that moves the CM's to the next position on the list (the white slip of paper you may see CM's hand off).
