Today is World Compliment Day and cast members at Walt Disney World Resort have millions of reasons to celebrate. Over two million Mobile Cast Compliments have been submitted by guests through the My Disney Experience App, contributing to a total of nearly 2.6 million Cast Compliments across Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort!
Did you know that you can show your appreciation for cast members by leaving them a Mobile Cast Compliment? If you’ve never submitted a Cast Compliment before, a ride on Andrew Rubin’s musical parking tram might inspire you. In fact, Andrew has received over 550 Cast Compliments in just the first six months of his Disney College Program!
“When I get a Cast Compliment, it reminds me that I’m making this parking lot as magical as I can,” said Andrew. “If I can create magic in a parking lot, I can create magic anywhere.”
From singing announcements to creating his own parking-themed versions of Disney songs, Andrew’s passion for creating happiness has also made for some incredible guest moments that are a source of pride for his friends and family.
“Receiving compliments is awesome, but I do this because the guest experience is truly important to me,” he said. “As a parking cast member, I’m the first and last person guests encounter. I get to set the mood and meet the expectations that come with a visit to Disney World.”
Our guests aren’t the only ones who take the time to compliment our incredible cast members – they recognize each other, too! Over the last ten years, Disney cast members have exchanged nearly six million messages of gratitude using RecognizeNow!, a digital tool specifically designed for them.
Thank you to our cast members for bringing the magic of Disney to life – and thank you to our guests who take the time to recognize them for it.
How to Leave Cast Compliments
The next time a cast member makes magic for you, consider recognizing them for the great work they do by leaving a compliment on the My Disney Experience or Disneyland Resort apps.
To send a compliment, navigate to the bottom of your app’s menu screen and select the “Cast Compliment” button. Then choose a positive sentiment from the drop-down menu. After that, enter the cast member’s first name, hometown and click submit!
PRO TIP: Make sure to spell the cast member’s first name and hometown correctly so the cast member will be alerted, and they can receive their personalized recognition!
