Meet Guillermo
Meet Guillermo! This Custodial Cast Member located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a Florida native and a long-time Disney fan.
He is also a huge fan of moviemaking and enjoy epic films, including Star Wars, “Dinosaur” and “The Little Mermaid.” His love for Disney movies made it easy when searching for a job- he knew without a doubt that he wanted to work at Walt Disney World.
Guillermo completed his paperwork, attended a local job fair, and received an immediate offer for Custodial. He has been in the role for nine years.
Guillermo was an opening Cast Member at Pandora — The World of Avatar and recently also opened Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. His favorite part of the job? He can immerse himself in the worlds of some of his favorite movies as he works each day.
Connecting With Guests
One of the best parts of Guillermo’s job is connecting with the guests each day. In addition to answering questions and assisting guests, he enjoys sharing his favorite movie quotes, Disney facts, and movie trivia!
“Movies are a part of who I am,” Guillermo shared. “One of my favorite Disney songs is ‘Part of Your World’ because Ariel sings about how she wants to be where the people are, and so do I. My autism will never be a barrier for me.”
Disney’s Aspire Program
Guillermo has not let anything hold him back and his future with Disney is bright. He received his high school diploma and Technical Certificate in Digital Media Video Production from Valencia College through The Walt Disney Company’s Disney Aspire program.
The Aspire program assists working cast members with flexible educational opportunities and profession development.
Guillermo hopes to one day tie in his passion for moviemaking full time as a video producer for the Walt Disney Company. He knows that there are plenty of amazing opportunities for him.
“My advice to others with autism is to always trust in yourself. The sky is the limit ‘to infinity and beyond,’ so always look to the stars and know anything is possible.”
