“We’re so inspired by our future storytellers here at Disney and loved welcoming these students for a hands-on learning experience at the ‘culinary crown jewel’ of Walt Disney World Resort,” Senior Vice President of Operations Maribeth Bisienere said. “Victoria & Albert’s is a special restaurant filled with talented cast members, and they were able to give students a real glimpse into the Disney cast life and unique culinary careers across the resort. If we impacted even one student’s journey, we know we’ve made a world of difference.”

Making the evening even more special, students met with many of Disney’s food & beverage cast members who are proud Valencia alumni as they shared their own journeys from culinary students to Disney chefs and helped students see how their dreams could become realities.

“Immersive experiences like this help our students reach for and attain goals beyond the program here at Valencia,” said Dr. Wendy Givoglu, Valencia College Provost, Downtown and Winter Park Campuses and Transfer Initiatives. “We were honored to be among the first to dine at this award-winning restaurant where our students could one day see themselves working.”

While the evening was put together specially for these students, the event left the entire culinary team inspired and hopeful for the future … ready to welcome Disney’s cast members of tomorrow.

“The investment in our future culinarians is one of the most important things we can do as chefs,” Disney Chef and Valencia College Alumni Nick Walker said. “I love what I do and only want it [the industry] to get better, which means making sure future generations are better than me.”

Students were also surprised with the news of a $50,000 donation to Valencia College Foundation to enhance its culinary program’s education experience. A perfect way to celebrate National Culinary Arts Month!
