Disney Cultural Representatives Return to EPCOT
Disney Cultural Representatives are returning to Epcot! Before the pandemic, the countries in World Showcase were run by Cultural Representatives to create authentic and immersive experiences for guests. Most of the representatives had to return to their home country when the pandemic hit but now are getting to return to Epcot!

Walt Disney World Ambassador, Ali Manion, recently had the chance to join in on the fun by meeting some of the newest cast members from around the globe and hearing more about their journeys to World Showcase, including those who have been eagerly waiting to return to the program since the park reopening.
Disney cast members, crew members, Imagineers and programs participants represent a special community of people dedicated to bringing happiness and joy to the world. And as you can see, these beloved magic-makers are overjoyed to be experiencing their Disney Cast Life!
From their initial arrival day at Flamingo Crossings Village — the new, state-of-the-art housing complex for Disney Programs participants — to their first week of on-the-job training at EPCOT, these special cast members are getting acquainted with their new roles and having a blast doing it!

For some participants, this is their very first Disney Program and they are eager to help create distinctly-Disney magic for guests from all over the world. Others have experienced the magic of a Disney International Program before and were longing to return to discover more and create even more memories.
“I’m most excited to relive the experience again,” said Marco Cerri, a returning participant from Milan. “I loved sharing my knowledge about my culture and the beauty of my country with guests and learning how to inspire others.”
In addition to interacting with guests from around the world, participants get to meet other cast members and Disney Programs participants and create long-lasting friendships.
“It’s so wonderful to be back and reconnect with all the people I used to work with and I’m so excited to meet all the new people on my journey,” said Melanie Bernert, a returning Cultural Representative from Schongau, a small town in Germany.
Whether you’re a returning participant or experiencing your very first Disney program, we’re so happy to have you here and we can’t wait to see how far you’ll go! And if you find yourself traveling around the World (Showcase) anytime soon, be sure to say hello to any Cultural Representatives you meet along your way.
