Disney Cast Member Shares His Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Story
Last year, Disney World premiered an immersive adventure unlike any other. A Cast Member will soon be celebrating his 1 year anniversary aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser and Disney Parks Blog recently shared his story!
Cast Member Adarius
Adarius began his Disney career in 2017. He started as an attractions host at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Joining the Disney family at a young age, he was ecstatic about the opportunity. He shares, “Disney allows you to have the creativity to make a difference and see the difference.”
Adarius eventually ended up opening Toy Story Land along with his team. He was also there to open the Disney Skyliner, and most recently, the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Story
Adarius is a Guest Experience Manager aboard the “vessel.” For those unaware, the Starcruiser offers a two-night stay that completely immerses you in your own Star Wars adventure!
The experience received backlash after its debut, due to its high price tag. But, those who’ve had the opportunity to visit, generally enjoy their time aboard.
Adarius has worked hard, transitioning into several different roles as a Disney Cast Member. He encourages others, “Don’t be afraid to take roads you didn’t imagine.”
He had no idea where his journey would take him, and his current experience onboard the Halcyon Starcruiser means a lot to him. One of the things he loves about his job is the connections he makes with Guests!
He also shared about the importance of representation on the ship as well as admiration for his boss. Adarius adds, “When we have guests that come and see that representation, it’s deeper than you think. Black women are crucial to our culture and being able to see that every day, I can connect with her on so many levels.”
He adds, “It’s important to see yourself represented.” It’s enabled him to “sustain the magic, wonder, and distinctly Disney service to guests.”
If he could share one thing with those who aspire to work for Disney, it’s to keep pressing on to make your dreams a reality. It looks like Adarius did just that as he celebrates an exciting career as a Disney Cast Member!
