Shanghai Disney Receives Prestigious Award for Outstanding Cast Members

Shanghai China

Shanghai Disney Cast Members are the best in China and they just won an award to prove it! Shanghai Disney has only been open for over a year but still manged to be recognized by AON Hewitt as one of the 2017 China Best Employers. This comes after these amazing Cast Members helped create magic for over a whopping 13 millions guests in their first year of operations.

Shanghai Disney

Disney is known around the world for its legendary guest service, but that wouldn’t be possible without the team of over 10,000 cast members in more than 500 different professional roles who call Shanghai Disney Resort “home.” From the cast you meet and interact with “onstage” in the park to those “backstage” who you don’t see, every cast member is dedicated to creating happiness for guests.

Shanghai Disney

To support the incredible cast, Shanghai Disney Resort has implemented a variety of programs, such as the Employee Assistance Program that mentors young cast members in their personal and professional lives. The park also introduced the Be-Well initiative to build healthier lifestyles through expert lectures, group activities, tip sharing, and more.

Shanghai Disney

The AON Best Employers program has been one of the most credible and comprehensive surveys of its kind in Asia for more than 17 years. In this year’s 10th study of the Chinese market, Shanghai Disney Resort stood out for its continuous investment in people, strong commitment to human resources, as well as the innovation and breakthroughs it has achieved in the area of human resources.

Congratulations to Shanghai Disney!

Get to Know One of the Gibbons at Animal Kingdom – Harper

AK Gibbons

Some of the favorite animals at Animal Kingdom are the Gibbons located in Asia. It’s so interesting to watch them play in their habitats resembling ancient temples. Animal Kingdom is even lucky enough to have two species of Gibbons – siamangs and white-cheeked gibbons.

Gibbons, which are critically endangered, can rotate their arms in a complete circle, making it easy for them to swing swiftly. They also have opposable thumbs, making it easy for them to maneuver, carry and grab items with their hands. Their opposable big toes enable them to grasp and hold objects with their feet.

Lately, we’ve delighted in watching the gibbon family as Harper, who is just over 2 years old, grows up and becomes more independent. Our Science Operations Team is observing the gibbon family to learn more about how the group’s social interactions change as Harper ages. Many of the animals you can see at Disney’s Animal Kingdom have complex social hierarchies and relationships, such as mandrills, meerkats and elephants. We can learn a great deal about them and make the best decisions about their care by paying close attention to their behaviors.

Get to Know One of the Gibbons at Animal Kingdom - Harper

White-cheeked gibbons go through a series of color changes as they grow from infants to adulthood. They are born a tan-blonde color to better blend in with their mothers, and then at about a year old, the young gibbons turn black. Males will stay black for the rest of their lives, but females go through another color change once they reach maturity at about 7 years old, when they turn back to tan.

Get to Know One of the Gibbons at Animal Kingdom - Harper Get to Know One of the Gibbons at Animal Kingdom - Harper

Our baby Harper has already completed her first color change, and her behavior has changed, too, which lets us know that she’s growing up! Earlier, she spent most of her time with her mother, Melaka.

Now, she’s not afraid to venture away from mom, and she often spends a lot of time wrestling with and chasing after her older brothers, Max and Murray.

Make Magical Memories with These ADORABLE MagicBand Buddies

MagicBand Buddies

One of the neatest new features of the new MagicBand 2 is that the Mickey icon on the bracelet can come out, and be used as a key chain, or lanyard charm. However the only holders they currently have in the parks are Mickey and Minnie, and that gets boring! The genius at BDIproducts on Etsy however, created these amazing Magic Band Buddies!

Make Magical Memories with These ADORABLE MagicBand Buddies

Make your MagicBand 2 icon unique and magical with your favorite Disney character, Snack, or Park Icon. Simply install your MagicBand 2.0 Icon center into the custom Magic Band Buddy of your choice, and clip on to your clothing, a lanyard, bag, you name it. It will provide easy access to parks, Fast Passes, and your resort room, all while showing off your individual Disney style. These are just like the park’s MagicBand Keepers, but come in so many more options!

They are simple to put together and made from a biodegradable plastic. They come in a whole array of different choices, so there is something for everyone! Best of all no more fighting over who gets what color band on family trips, every one can get their own band buddy to tell them apart!

There are so many to choose from, it was hard to come up with my favorites! Check out some of the different varieties below!

Make Magical Memories with These ADORABLE MagicBand Buddies

I’m not sure which ones are my favorites, but since Halloween is coming up soon, I definetly need the Pumpkin Mickey one! These are so amazing I think I’ll just have to collect them all!

What do you think of these incredible new MagicBand Buddies? I can’t get over how awesome they are!

Ginni Mack, Model for Tinker Bell Passed Away at 90 Years of Age

Ginnie Mack

Ginnie Mack

Few Disney characters are as wonderfully iconic as Tinker Bell. That is why we are sad to share the news that the model that served as the inspiration for this character, Ginni Mack,  passed away recently at the age of 90.

Though she will largely be remembered for Tink,  Ginni also made a longstanding contribution to The Walt Disney Company where she was working as an Ink and Paint Artist when she was discovered by animator Marc Davis and approached about being the model for Tinker Bell.  According to an obituary appearing in Attractions Magazine, Ginni started working for The Walt Disney Company at the age of 18 and made a contribution to several of the post- World War II era Disney films.

Mack went on to leave the Company in 1958 to create an animation studio with her husband Brice Mack only to return in 1977 as Paint Supervisor where she worked on productions like Pete’s Dragon.  She continued to work for the company until 1991  and even played a role in testing and developing Disney’s Computer Animation Production System.

PHOTO And VIDEO: Slinky Dog Ride Vehicle Officially Welcomed To Hollywood Studios

Slinky Dog

It’s National Slinky Day! To celebrate, Disney is revealing the coaster’s first ride vehicle. You’ll remember that we posted images of it arriving at Hollywood Studios a few days ago. The attraction is still under construction in Toy Story Land but the track is already officially complete. You can check out aerial photos of the land here.

Toy Story Land is a 12 acre expansion that’s set to open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2018. In Toy Story Land, guests will shrink to the size of a toy and explore the world of Andy’s backyard on two fun family attractions – Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers.

PHOTO And VIDEO: Slinky Dog Ride Vehicle Officially Welcomed To Hollywood Studios

Here are Disney’s description of its two future attractions:

Slinky Dog Dash is a family coaster themed as if Andy built it in his backyard using his Mega Coaster Play Kit and some of his other favorite toys. The attraction’s ride vehicles, inspired by the character of Slinky in the film, will send riders dipping, dodging and dashing around turns and drops Andy has created to stretch Slinky’s coils to the max.

The second attraction, Alien Swirling Saucers, is designed as a toy play set that Andy got from Pizza Planet, inspired by the first “Toy Story” film. Aliens are flying around in their toy flying saucers and trying to capture your rocket toy vehicle using “The Claw.”

Check out this video from when the new ride vehicle arrived. It’s adorable!
