Meet the Disney Cast Member Who Has Taken Social Media By Storm
While Disneyland Resort is known for its immersive environments, amazing attractions, and world-class cuisine, anyone who has ever visited The Happiest Place on Earth knows that it is the Disney Cast Members who make the real magic happen.
Whether Cast Members are greeting guests at the turnstiles, helping them board attractions, or serving a Dole Whip in Adventureland, they have the unique ability to make magical memories that will last a lifetime.

With that in mind, I want to shine a spotlight on Antonio Viray, a Disney California Adventure attractions Cast Member who has been providing exceptional service and taking the internet by storm.
Making Magic at Disneyland Resort
During his illustrious Disneyland career, Antonio has received 735 Cast Compliments thanks to his sparkling personality and willingness to go above and beyond.

“As attractions cast members, we’re in direct contact with the guest. We’re the first impression for the guest.” Antonio continues, “I want to make sure when they step in front of me, that the smile will last until they leave the park.”
If you follow any Disneyland social media accounts, you have likely seen Antonio make some Disney magic with his dance moves. Surprisingly, however, the Cast Member had never watched the videos himself.

With today being International Dance Day, Antonio was finally shown the viral videos in which he stars. As you can see, even he was amazed!

So, what is his secret?
“I’m still a kid at heart,” Antonio shyly explained. While explaining why it’s so important to him to go above and beyond to show off his dance moves at work and create happiness and laughter for others, Antonio shared, “It’s what our core values are – that’s what [Disney’s] service is all about. We’re here to help the guests and do the best we can do to make their stay here and visit”
“Wherever I Am, I Create Magic”
While Antonio now calls Disneyland Resort home, he has previously worked in the hospitality industry in Dubai and Qatar for a decade. In short, Antonio has been creating smiles across the world.

“Wherever I am, I create magic…. That’s why most of my fellow cast members ask me ‘Antonio, where do you get your energy?’ Because… I don’t stop. I keep doing this the whole time, like Captain America. I can do this all day,” Antonio laughs.
