What It’s Really Like to Work in a Resort Animation Team

Working in a resort animation team is one of the most talked-about overseas jobs — but what is it actually like day to day?

From morning activities to evening shows, animation roles are energetic, social, and rewarding. This blog gives you an honest look behind the scenes so you know exactly what to expect before applying.

Teams typically include:

  • Sports & fitness animators

  • Kids club hosts

  • Dancers & performers

  • Show hosts & MCs

  • DJs & music entertainers

You’ll work as part of an international team, often with colleagues from all over the world.
