Disneyland Cast Members Celebrate Park’s 68th Anniversary
While Disneyland’s 68th anniversary was a big deal for Disney fans of all ilks and ages, it was an especially momentous occasion for Disneyland’s cast members.
As the sun rose over Sleeping Beauty Castle, cast members began to line Main Street USA, ready to greet guests on the big occasion.
The magical moment of guests flooding through Main Street is just as special in 2023 as it was in 1955.
Celebrating 100 Years of Wonder
This year, Disneyland’s birthday happens to fall in the middle of the Disney100 celebration, making the occasion that much more special.
“This is an incredibly special anniversary to be a part of because we would not be here today without the company’s past successes,” shared Guest Relations hostess Cherilyn E. “It’s surreal to look around the resort and see all the stories, attractions and characters that have come to life over the years and have brought us to where we are now. It is truly an honor to continue Walt’s legacy that he started over 100 years ago.”
Duck and Canoe Races
Cast members celebrated Disneyland’s anniversary with a series of fun and festive events. The annual Duck Races at “it’s a small world” continue to be a cast favorite. This year also featured the return of Canoe Races along the Rivers of America.
At the heart of these events was Cast Activities, Recognition & Events. The team is dedicated to creating magical events for cast members throughout the year.
Whether its 1955, or 2023, cast members remain at the heart of Disneyland’s magic.
“The cast members are the heart of the resort and are crucial to the guests who bring their families to experience the most magical place on Earth,” said Ashley. “In return, we get the unique opportunity to give them that same magic.”
So, next time you visit any of the Disney Parks, be sure to take the time to thank a cast member for what they do. They deserve it.
