Special Events and Activities

In many ways, joining the Disneyland_® Resort Cast is like joining an extended family that works together and plays together. Some of the events scheduled for Disneyland_® Resort Cast Members include:

• Cast-exclusive film screenings of new Disney films
• Canoe races inside the Disneyland_® Park
• Flashback talent show for charity (Wait until you see our top leaders perform karaoke!)
• Private tours of The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank
• Disney Choir
• Sports team events
• Diversity Resource groups, such as HOLA and PRIDE

In addition to all of these events, we encourage Cast Members to take part in our Disney VoluntEARS group. There are a number of ways for our Cast to get involved and make a difference in their community � and have a lot of fun, too!
