VIDEO: Disneyland Cast Members Get In the Holiday Spirit With Puppy Snuggles
Disneyland has gone to the dogs for the holiday season! More than 300 Disneyland Resort cast members had the opportunity to get some holiday snuggles from seven dogs and their owners from the Pet Prescription Team.
For those unfamiliar, this is a local nonprofit that improves the quality of life through the human-animal bond. Nikki Valencia was one of the cast members at the event and had this to say of the experience, “I love it; the dogs are very calming.” This special event was designed to give employees a break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season via some relaxing quality time with a canine companion!
This exciting offering was part of Disney’s Be Well program which provides cast members with events perfect for a bit of self care! In this instance, it came in the form of puppy kisses. Research shows afterall that pet therapy improves the emotional well-being of individuals and helps reduce anxiety. This can definitely come in handy during the busier holiday season.
The Wellness team also had additional resources available to cast members who may require some extra support during the holidays. “Having this event at the resort provides a wonderful release and break for our cast members,” said Wellness Event Manager Nancy Murray. “They can sit down, take a deep breath and hug a puppy dog.”
