Disney Legend Josh Gad Takes Over Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland

Josh Gad Surprises Guests on Storybook Land Canal Boats

Disney Legend Josh Gad has stepped back into a Cast Member uniform, trading the snowy peaks of Arendelle for the charming waters of Disneyland’s Storybook Land Canal Boats. In a magical surprise for fans, the voice of Olaf took the helm as a guest skipper, bringing his signature wit and Disney expertise to the classic Fantasyland attraction.

Josh Gad is finally living out his “dream” of becoming a professional storyteller! The Disney Legend was spotted playfully dodging his own fame, hilariously responding with a confused “Where?!” when a stunned guest asked, “Is that Josh Gad?”

The video captures Gad taking the helm of a Storybook Land canal boat, where he treats a boatload of lucky fans to a one-of-a-kind tour. From cracking jokes about the miniature landscapes to adding his signature flair to the classic attraction’s script, it was a “little boat ride” no one will ever forget. 

As the boat drifted past the Frozen village of Arendelle, Gad couldn’t help but lean into the irony. He deadpanned to the guests that he was “completely unfamiliar” with the area before pivoting to protect his snowy costar.

Pointing at the local Disney Ducks, he jokingly pleaded with them not to snack on his friends, noting that the characters in the miniature display have already “been through enough trauma!”

This isn’t Josh Gad’s first “day on the job”—he’s built quite the Disney resume! Before taking the helm at Storybook Land, the Disney Legend had already checked off a bucket list of iconic roles.

He’s previously lived out his lifelong dream as a Jungle Cruise Skipper, led guests through the savanna as a Kilimanjaro Safaris Guide, signaled the “all aboard” as a Disneyland Railroad Conductor, and even spent some time as a Caretaker at the Haunted Mansion.
