Ten Unique Facts About Disney World Cast Members
Truly, Cast Members bring magic to Guests throughout Disney Parks. Now, here are ten unique facts about our favorite magic makers.
Fun Facts
Did you know that every Cast Member goes through a training called Traditions? Cast Members train in Disney’s expectations, partake in team-building exercises and learn all about Disney history.
PhotoPass photographers offer special photo opportunities throughout the parks. These Magic Shots include tons of special effects in your pictures for those extra special touches.
Disney Cruise Line has plenty of Cast Members on its cruises. In fact, there is a 1:3 Cast Member to Guest ratio, so there is plenty of magical help while onboard.
Disney World Must-Dos
Costumed character Cast Members must be able to pantomime various activities, such as making a sandwich. The reason is that Cast Members are not allowed to talk, so they must be able to communicate (somehow) while in character.
Legend has it that a ghost haunts Pirates of the Caribbean. Supposedly, Imagineer George died while welding a piece of the attraction in the 1970s. Now, Cast Members wish George a good morning and a good night.
As The World’s Most Magical Celebration began, Walt Disney World also celebrated the “Class of 1971.” These are the Cast Members who have worked at Walt Disney World for the past 50 years.
Have you ever noticed the Cast Members use the two-finger point? Some cultures deem pointing with one finger as offensive, so Cast Members either use two fingers or their entire hand.
Savvy Secrets
Underneath Fantasyland, in the Utilidor, Cast Members visit their own hair salon called Kingdom Kutters. So, no need for Cast Members to fret about a bad hair day.
Cast Members use code words for emergency situations. For example, you may hear a Cast Member say, “Code Pooh, Piglet is on the loose” if there is a lost child.
You will always see Cast Members with nametags. However, if Cast Members happen to lose or forget their nametags, then there is a stash of gender-neutral nametags to borrow. So, don’t assume that friendly Cast Member is really named “Leslie.”
