food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that we go to Disney World EVERY DAY! We’d like to think we’re pros when it comes to taking on new snacks, rides, and merchandise and we know Cast Members are at the heart of all of this!
Cast Members!
We wouldn’t be able to do any of the things we do without Cast Members and it is truly because of them that Walt Disney World runs as incredibly magically as it does.
Disney World Cast Members have their own language when things happen in the parks.
Cast Members have codes for everything
Most of the time, the language is there to keep folks from panicking. Because you’d rather hear about a “Code A,” than hear that someone has dumped a deceased loved one’s ashes in Haunted Mansion (yep, that happens). A “Code V” happens when someone gets sick on a ride (yep, that happens, too). A “Code 101” is when a ride goes down unexpectedly. Well, what if you hear a Cast Member refer to a “Signal 70?” Well, we’ll tell you that it’s not happy news.
The beauty of Disney’s Animal Kingdom is, well…it’s full of animals.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
But Animal Kingdom isn’t just a place where Disney showcases animals from all over the world. No, Disney also does a great deal with animal conservation and has a breeding program in place to help increase the numbers of species that are endangered. Well, a new baby animal has been born at Animal Kingdom…but its story is even more special thanks to the Cast Member who inspired its name.
Disney World is known for being the Most Magical Place on Earth — but it isn’t all magic, all the time.
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!
Sure, we do our best to go with the flow and not make a big deal out of things, but sometimes we just can’t help feeling awkward during certain Disney interactions. And, since we’re friends, we’re letting you in on the top awkward moments that we cringe at — every single time.
Working at Disney World is an unforgettable experience filled with MANY highs. However, like with any job, you can experience some lows and regrets.
Cinderella Castle
Being a Cast Member at Disney World can truly open you up to a world of Disney most people never get to see. From knowing all the ride secrets to filling our brains with an endless amount of Disney Parks know-how, Cast Members have a wealth of Disney knowledge that goes unmatched. With that said, like everyone else, Disney World Cast Members are still susceptible to having regrets once leaving the most Magical Place on Earth.
At the end of the day, people don’t come to Disney World for the pretty architecture or the novelty Minnie ears. They come to Disney World for the MAGIC. But we’re going to let you in on a little secret. Magic doesn’t come from a selfie in front of Cinderella Castle or a fancy new MagicBand. It comes from the Cast Members all around you. OK, that was cheesy. But it’s true. We’re leaning into it, OK?
Cast Members
Seriously. You can’t put a price on the magic of getting Pixie Dusted at Sir Mickey’s in Magic Kingdom. OK, you can. It’s free. But still, you get our point. Still, despite all that Disney World Cast Members do for us, there are some common misconceptions (when we’re feeling especially dramatic, we call them “vicious lies and Cast Member propaganda) about the true powers of a Cast Member. Let’s talk about it.
Attention, Disney World Annual Passholders! A BIG ticket change is coming SOON, and it’ll probably affect your next trip to the parks!
Annual Pass card
Disney previously announced that “Good-To-Go” days were coming for Annual Passholders and Cast Members. These are days when Passholders and Cast Members will NOT have to make a Park Pass Reservation to enter the theme parks. Now, we know when those “Good-To-Go” days will be released!
Disney World IS magic, and you can’t convince us otherwise.
We believe in magic!
That’s because Cast Members spend so much of their time and energy creating that magic, whether they’re sprinkling pixie dust on our heads, creating unique art out of water or flowers on Disney World’s sidewalks, or just offering us extra magic when something goes wrong. But we’ve got a story about how a Disney World GUEST created magic for a Cast Member (warning, get those tissues).
Love pin trading at Disney World?
Haunted Mansion pin trading board
While it’s been around for a while, the rules surrounding it have changed quite a bit over the past few years. After the COVID-19 closures of 2020, Cast Member lanyards were set aside in favor of pin trading boards across Disney’s parks. Lanyards have slowly started to return, so we figured it was the right time to go over some of the “unspoken” rules you should be following when pin trading!
Have you ever seen a ride break down in the Disney theme parks?
Disneyland
We just spotted something really cool that happened recently when Jungle Cruse broke down! These Cast Members took an unfortunate situation and turned it into entertainment that was almost as good as the ride itself. [Read more…]
