Held annually at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Goofy’s Mystiki Tour sees Cast Members compete in scavenger hunts and tiki-themed challenges that put their Disney knowledge and teamwork skills to the test.
A Beloved Cast Tradition
In total, more than 300 teams participated in this year’s Mystiki Tour, tackling events created specifically for Cast Members.
“I love that it’s by cast, for cast,” said Cast Member Claire Embil (via Fox 35 Orlando). “This is something that we get to do for each other.”
Over the years, Goofy’s Mystiki Tour has become a bedrock of the Cast Member experience. In fact, many employees call it a “rite of passage” that cultivates team bonding and camaraderie.
