Hello everyone and welcome to Disney Cast Life. We're bringing you all the
Disney magic that you, our fellow Cast Members, are making in your communities
and all around the world. And this week has been pretty special as we celebrate
the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and 25 years of the Disney Conservation Fund
and Cast Members, the work has not gone unnoticed. Primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall
has a special thank you to share: -You've done fantastic work all the
members of the Disney Cast helping animals and helping to safeguard the
future of animals in the wild as well.
Even Bob Iger himself is impressed by the high standards set by
the team and how they live them out. Well I couldn't agree more with Bob. Our Cast
Members and Walt Disney employees never cease to amaze me and also inspire me
with their creativity. For more let's go to Rafa.
Hey Rafa! Hey Justin! Walt Disney Studios Employee Bruce and his family brought
a little bit of Disney parks into their home recreating a little place where the
birds sing words and the flowers croon
"Oh, buenos días senorita" (Tiki Room music)
Thank You Rafa and thank you Bruce for
sharing your Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room with us and now let's go to Marilyn in
Orlando who has a message from someone you may recognize but may not know was a
former Walt Disney World Cast Member. Hi, Marilyn. Hi, Justin! You're definitely
gonna recognize this former Walt Disney World Cast Member.
Since her days working here at the Walt Disney World Resort she has gone on to
voice the character of Ahsoka Tano in "Star Wars Rebels" and "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."
She's even created her very own
lifestyle brand called Her Universe which clearly I'm a huge fan of. So let's
welcome to Disney Cast Life Ashley Eckstein. Thank You Marilyn you know I used to be
a Disney Cast Member. On my sixteenth birthday all I wanted was to work
Disney so literally on my actual birthday I became a Disney Cast Member
I worked in entertainment at Hollywood Studios and I was a cheerleader in the
Hercules parade. And to this day it was one of my most favorite jobs ever.
I want to thank all Disney Cast Members for all of the magic that you've created for me
and my family and I can't wait to see you back in the park soon. Bye!
Well the Force is definitely strong with Ashley. Now I'm going to turn it to my peer Stephen
for another really great story here at Walt Disney World. Hey, Stephen. Hey Marilyn!
So just last week here at Walt Disney World we donated a bunch of Disney treats
to the Orlando Police Department and Orange County Sheriff's Office. They were
so excited to get a little Disney treat of their own but also to be able to
share those treats with their friends family and local community just seems
like everyone's in the spirit helping each other out. Well I couldn't agree more Stephen
and now for another story of Cast Members giving back we'll send it to our
friends over at the Aulani Resort. Aloha Alyssa! Aloha Justin! Here at Aulani
we have donated over 7,000 pounds of perishable food to Aloha Harvest just glad to be
giving back to our local community. Well thank you Alyssa. And now for a story
that's in my own backyard. Last week local hotels across the city of Anaheim
displayed messages of hope and displayed hues of blue all in support of the Anaheim
Police Department and their unwavering commitment to the community. Well thank
Anaheim Police Department for sharing that hopeful message and a huge
thank you to all of our first responders and medical workers across the country.
Finally to close our broadcast for today you want to share with you just a
few of the thousands of photos shared on social media by both Cast Members and
former Cast Members alike now the ask was simple: one photo no
description and use the hashtag #WeWillBeBackBetterThanEver
Well Cast Members, you couldn't be more right. We will be back, better than ever. Well that about sums it up
for us here today thank you for tuning in we can't wait to see all the magic
you're gonna be making in the coming weeks so if you share it on social media
