Big Red Heart

 


We try to visit Disney parks when they’re less crowded – not entirely for the reasons you might assume. Sure, the shorter wait times are nice. It’s lovely to find a free table so you can relax while enjoying your Dole whip or churro or corn dog. It’s great to get where you’re going without people literally tripping over the wheelchair. (Why is our chair so hard to see? Do we need to paint it hunter orange?) But the thing we love most to do when we’re in the parks is chat with cast members; something you can’t really do while they’re crazy busy. We ask where they’re from, and what led them to work for the Mouse. They all have amazing stories, and they all seem to love sharing. My favorites: a waitress who grew up in Harrogate, a boat pilot who remembered Brook’s House of Barbecue, a train conductor who was third-generation Disney, and a cashier who serenaded me with, "More I Cannot Wish You."
