Cast Members Celebrate Disneyland Service!
Last night, cast members from Disneyland and Walt Disney Imagineering got to celebrate their years of service to the Walt Disney Company!
Disneyland California Adventure closed for the last two nights at 5:00 p.m. in order to celebrate Disneyland cast members and recognize their years of service.
Cast members with 15 years to 50 years of service celebrated with family and friends.
The Disneyland difference
Those with more than 40 years of service were treated to a sit down dinner at Carthay Circle.
There, Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland, spoke about “the Disney difference.” Want to guess what that is?
You’ve got it – the cast members! Ken said guests regularly speak with him about what makes their Disneyland Resort visit so special – and that’s the cast members.
The job of any Disney cast member is to create happiness. Well, these cast members have been creating happiness for years – and they are all models of excellence for all cast members to aspire to.
2022-2023 Disneyland Resort Ambassadors Mark Everett King Jr. and Nataly Guzman were on hand to emcee the evening’s performances and special guests.
Disneyland service celebration
I’ve had the privilege to work with many of these cast members, and my Facebook feed was flooded this morning with photos from the Disneyland service celebration.
Disney Parks, Experiences and Products chairman Josh D’Amaro was on hand to celebrate Disneyland service honorees. He was their boss for a long time as president of Disneyland!
Believe it or not, this is actually the 2020 service celebration and the 2021 service celebration – because Disneyland was closed due to the pandemic from March 2020-April 2021 – right when they would have had service celebrations.
Cast compliments
The next time you’re at Disneyland, be sure to recognize and thank cast members for their hard work. Go to City Hall and give a cast compliment for a cast member who has delivered happiness.
To all Disneyland cast members who are celebrating their years of service – thank you!
Here are just a few cast member photos from the amazing Disney photographer Kevin Yoneda!!
