As a former cast member, I worked at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight cafe during the 25th Anniversary of WDW it’s nice to see that many things haven’t changed. I enjoyed being a cast member. The Magic Kingdom is still my favorite Park, mainly because I have tons of happy memories there.
Wow kudos to you for working Cosmic Rays!!
The best moment I can recall having was after driving a monorail, on my days off I would sometimes go into the park. Meeting people that are return visitors, and their kids , several of us if we saw any parents with special needs children taking the time to be with them and assist them thru the park. When they became a return guest and recognize you in the park and seeing their smiles and the child happiness and excitement. One thin I can say and Olivia will agree with "Once you work inside a Disney park, it never leaves your system".
That's so magical!
Olivia anytime that you want more unknown disney i have yor back

Good idea!
You are honestly and truly my favorite youtuber! (This and your grad school channel, which helped me get into my grad program starting May 11th!) Thank you for making this quarantine time more enjoyable with a video!
Oh my gosh 😭😭😭 Thank you so much! ahhh congrats on getting into grad school!!!! Sending you pixie dust as you start this next chapter!
@Olivia Simone Thankyou so much for answering my question! You made my day! I love all of your videos, especially the Story Time ones!
Aw I'm so glad!! Thanks so much for watching :)
OMG yay! i was looking forward to this. i love u olivia ❤️
Thank you so much! Love you too ❤
We here in North Central Florida always enjoy hearing from you ! 😊 ! - you are very informative and entertaining !. Looking forward to hearing from you in the future ! 🌞 ! 🐧 !.
Thanks so much!
Well here it is well over a week since you released this video and I finally subscribed and glad I did. I'm an old cuss and your energy is infectious. So I hope to watch a lot of your videos while we are stuck at home. Keep up the great content and the upbeat attitude! Hugs!!!!
I'm so glad you decided to stick around! I hope you enjoy my videos! thanks for subscribing
You and The trackers are the only Disney vlogging channels that I really watch..(the Potter collector too) and Disney sends them tickets to the food and wine festival and the flower and garden.. it's cool to see Disney really supporting the little guys!
I just watched your vlog in Magic Kingdom and I just want to say thank you for making me feel like I am in the park with you, love your videos
Aw I'm so so glad you enjoyed it!
No problem ❤️
Thanks for answering my question!
And great video!
Thanks so much for asking one!!
Thank you sm for answering my question!😁
Thanks for asking one!
Thank you for all the videos I’ve Been watching every video because I’m bored and I found your channel 2 days ago and now it’s one of my favorite channels and my sister might work at Disney next year I love your channel
Awesome! Thank you!
I like your story videos and this one answering questions.
Thank you so much!
I haven’t watched your videos in forever & got excited when this came up on my main feed! Hi again.!! 😄👋🏽
hahaha yay!! Thanks for sticking around 😂
I love this! I am going to college in like 5 years but I've been staying up till 1 am watching all of the DCP videos. My biggest goal is to be a face actor for Wendy, I would die. Love your videos!!
That's so awesome you're already thinking about the program! DCP videos can be so addicting hahaha I too spent several years following bloggers until it was my chance! Sending you pixie dust your way for when you do apply!
@@olivia_simone omg thank you! Sending some back for when you go back to school! Stay safe! But also I am really scared that I wouldn't get along with my roommates, since I live in Eu and I wanna do College in USA and I haven't figured it out yet and omg I'm just so excited! Can't wait until it's my turn.
Thank you so much!!!
thanks for watching!
Can you do a video where you rank all of the Walt Disney World rides?
I was a cast member in 2007 and it was t with the cp but I started at AK and then MK in Tomorrowland lots of fun memories I wish I remembered my PERNR
that's so awesome!!!
Another awesome video. Hopefully someday you will be able to come out to Disneyland!!
Thanks so much! i was HOPING to go down this summer but then SOME PLANET had to go and have a pandemic
Olivia Simone I would hope that someday when you are at Disneyland I can at least say hi! Keep up the great work and videos
I was going to do a DCP my next fall semester and it already got pushed back to spring because of a program I'm in at my school, and I've been super bummed because I doubt that will even be possible with the coronavirus. The fact you said do it later actually makes me feel a lot better, I'm a very dedicated student and it makes a lot more sense to wait.
oh dang :/ Hopefully that gives things time to get back to normal!! and yeah, I always recommend doing the program later - I think it provides a nice break while still preserving the motivation to finish the degree. Best of luck!
@@olivia_simone thank you!
My uncle works for Disney and doing the DCP while I get my degree to be a choir teacher is my dream! I grew up going to Disney and it's honestly my life! I'm a junior in highschool right now but I've had my sights set on going out for the DCP since I found out about it!
That's so awesome!! I hope you have a blast when it's your turn!
I know about the dcp because of people like you
Wow! I thought you just didn't give details to preserve the magic. It never occurred to me there would be a safety aspect to that. It makes sense though after that story you told.
Thats how I found out able the college program originally campus representatives, my freshman year which makes so much sense why i didn't see them the year after ended up forgetting about it for awhile and then my senior year in college someone I knew on facebook did the program also stumbled upon videos on youtube and I applied and got accepted Fall 2016 - summer 2017 alum
Yes!! It's so weird that they let go of them but I guess they figured people would find out in other ways! I'm glad you got to participate though
Wow I woke up to this on my birthday morning 🎂❤️
happy birthday!!
Happy birthday 🥳. Sorry it’s right now ! I hope you make it amazing!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! 🎈🎁🎉
Happy birthday ! 👍 !.
Us Disney geeks LOVE you sooo much Olivia
Aw thank you so much!
One day at a time....we will get through this together.
Disney should make more parks, I think they should ATLEAST have one more in Europe and I would like one in Norway. Instead of the normal castle they would have arendells castle and in the winter they will make a ice castle somewhere! And they could have reindeer tours, and Olaf’s sledding! And a ton of hot chocolate! And also who did you hang out with?
Unrelated kind of but I love your eyeshadow
Awesome
thanks so much for watching!
I’m gonna be a character performer at my local amusement park, so do you have any general tips for characters? I’m gonna be a pretty vague character, so I’m kinda nervous
That's so awesome! i'd say just keep your energy up and if a guest tries to hurt you, stand your ground and don't take it! good luck :)
Possible future question: Are supervisors at Disney promoted from within their own ranks? Or do they get shifted around, and not necessarily have direct experience in what they're supervising?
Yeah, they are! So like a merchandise cast member will be promoted to coordinator who can then be promoted to be merchandise leader. There are a LOT of avenues to become a leader, but from my knowledge, you are in the area that you are familiar with haha. That being said, if you're merchandise in Dinoland let's say, they might move you (or you can put in a transfer) for a different location that possible you've never worked in before. BUT it's not like a merch person will become an attractions leader or anything like that
My question got answered!!!
Yay! Thanks for asking one!
I went to Disney world.a few weeks ago. I’m so glad I made it before all this stuff now.
Good timing!
Would you be a character performer again and if what character would you want to be
Please do another reaction video!!
Going to post one this week!
i remember in 2014 we were walking through main street USA in the magic kingdom and the festival of fantasy parade was passing through but somehow they let us walk the opposite direction and we managed to walk past all the floats
oh that's great! It's kind of fun seeing the parade in fast motion without having to sit and wait 30 minutes to watch!
And is there those shopping stores on disney property? Like a dollar tree and grocery store? If so where and how do u get there, did you have a car?
Nope! The bus takes you to Walmart, and then you can take a Lyft or if someone has a car you can go to the other shopping places in the area
What we’re all the different characters that you hung out with
My question: If you had the chance to go to Alton Towers in England, would you ride "The Smiler"?
I don't ride roller coasters, so no 😂
@@olivia_simone lol, I don't blame you
I'm not the only grown-butt adult who doesn't ride roller coasters?!
Almost everyone I know will go on them even if they don't like roller coasters; but I just flat out won't go on them.
Olivia Simone, I understand how someone would be cast as a costumed character (mickey,minnie,daisy) but how would one get cast in a show such as Fantasmic? Are all mickeys trained for fantasmic as well as meet and greets, or are there designated mickeys?
Being a show performer requires a different audition than a regular meet and greet performer (from my understanding)
Hey Olivia so I was wondering how you and your best friend met??
Trista Head You know, it’s a funny story. One day I was sitting in the Dinosaur break room, feeling out of place since everyone else was an attractions cast member. Next thing I know, some girl grabs an ENTIRE box of cheez it’s out of her bag and says hi to me. Ends up offering me a ride home later that night since we both got off at the same time and figured out we lived in the same apartment complex. Turned out her roommate also worked with MY roommate! Anyway, ‘‘twas the start of a beautiful friendship. I’m counting down the days til I get to see her again
@@olivia_simone wow that does sound like a great start to an amazing friendship! She sounds pretty awesome
Dang, I put my CFA experience in my application and got QSFB. Lol
Now I know for next time!
(Nothing against QSFB, but just wanted to do something different than what I normally do.)
Tiara Stokes same exact thing happened to my friend who applied for fall 2020!!
I cANt believe one of my Disney role model that inspired me to vlog at Disney just said my question was good and puT mE IN ThE VIDEO 🥺✋🏼💗
Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
Olivia Simone :))
Can you be a cast member or performer if you are disabled? Especially for those in a wheelchair but also hidden disabilities like epilepsy or having a heart problem, etc ?
A performer - I would think not since the disability would inhibit them from doing the role. However, there are cast members in other areas that have disabilities!
i wanted to find the video where i posted about my singing monsters: dawn of fire to correct something, but i forgot which video it was (oof) so ill say it here
however, the magical monsters are not in this game
If possible, my sister is actually going to be in the college program and is going to be working in Walt Disney World in September.
That's amazing!! I hope she has a magical time!
Olivia what are your thoughts on Disney World being closed
I mean, it's what needed to be done so I support it! Guests and cast members alike are sad the parks are closed but unfortunately there's not much you can do when there's a global pandemic :/
Omg thanks for your opinion and replying 😁
I have a question! Is it more competitive to get into the WDW dcp or the Disneyland dcp?
Disney-lovin Gal My guess is it’s more difficult to get into Disneyland because there are fewer slots. You can apply to both though when you fill out the original application!
Did you ever meet Brian Hull when you were in costume? Check his TH-cam channel if you haven’t!
I did not but I love his videos!
I live in California so I've never been to Disney world! If you've ever been to California, or live here and been to Disneyland, what would you say is better?
what is the worst character to play? also what is the worst costume for visuals?
oooh fantastic question
Wait what character were u?
Why are the Jungle Cruise captains so cool?
The puns give them super coolness powers
Hi this is such a late comment! I was interest in DCP and have a background in music and marching band, do you know if they would let me audition as a band member?
Unfortunately, that's not currently a position offered as a Disney College Program participant. You can audition separately though!
@@olivia_simone Man that's unfortunate. Thank you though! Hopefully everything works out for this upcoming year...it's so hard to tell with the world's current situation
are you going to do any more storytimes ?
I'm going to have to wrack my brain to try and come up with another one! I've kind of shared all I got
@@olivia_simone ok I was just wndering
which characters were you best friends with ?
mouse height
my fifth grade teacher told the class that our school was banned from Magic Kingdom (only banned from Magic Kingdom because we actually had an upcoming field trip to Animal Kingdom) because one of the students pushed Goofy into some lake
whoa I've never heard of that before!
It’s official Disney furloughed us :/ 🤦🏻♀️
Part time and full time got paid. Seasonal did not. But as of the 19th we are no longer being paid
Ashley Badiukiewicz what do u mean by that? The ceo of disney took a pay cut to pay workers...?
Thanks for the update :/ I saw that the morning this published
Olivia Simone yea I figured this video was before that. It just stressful
Amanda Brock starting April 19th all US based non essential cast that is not union has been furloughed. Meaning we will not be paid but keep our benefits. A job placeholder basically
I want to work at Disney as a fur character! It seems so fun. But there is one problem, I am 40, 000 miles away from the closet one. But I will move there if it kills me.
I feel ya! I flew across the country for my program! And we have many people who fly from all over the world that participate in the various programs disney offers
for the hitting mickey's nose thing, me and my brother both have a picture of us kissing mickey on the nose. idk why that came to my mind but it is
Aw that's adorable!
I worked with you 2 years ago, and remember you lol. I’ll message you on Instagram. Love your videos.
Oh no way! haha in Merchandise??
Hi from Australia
Hello from America!
Hey Olivia
I love your videos
God bless you
What’s your favourite animal and what animal do you think you are most like?
I've been loving bears lately!
@@olivia_simone Speaking of that, Baloo is my favorite Disney bear!
My question: What happens to the character costumes once they get “retired”?
Fantastic question and I have NO CLUE what that answer is lol Regular costumes are sold at Cast connections and sell out pretty quickly. No idea what they do with entertainment costumes
Olivia Simone okay. Can the public buy from Cast connections? Or is it staff only?
I’m early
Yayyyy!
Love your vids keep up the good work
Did you ever meet TH-camr Brian Hull and if so what was your experience with him?
No, I did not!
Bachelor??? Bachelor??? (unsubscribes) ...LOL
bye!
wait you were in Nashvile and did not tell me I live in Tennessee
I shared it on my Instagram!! We went to Nashville for a few days and then Pigeon Forge for an evening!
@@olivia_simone omg I need to follow you I live in Pigeon Forge
Hi Olivia! As a character performer has there ever been a time you got so engrossed in your character at the time? Also, what’s your favorite hockey team?
There were times when I'd be at home, in my apartment, and when my roommates said something funny I would cover my mouth with my hand and bounce my shoulders instead of actually laughing out loud 😂 And Penn State is my favorite hockey team!
Who else thinks Disney should do the following:
Expand adventure land and make an Indiana Jones ride.
Expand fantasy land again and make a tangled ride, beauty and the beast ride, and Alice in wonderland ride.
If you agree like if you disagree comment
😳
I am really bored👉👈
So is the character performers the job of hanging with Cinderella or is it parade
hanging with Cinderella! you can audition to be a parade performer
Olivia Simone ahh okay thank you💙
I bet you have seen a lot of famous people while working.
I actually haven't! i think all of my friends have more celebrity run ins than I've ever had!
Its weird how someone into psychology would like the Bachelor, given how fake and damaging it is to society regarding healthy/unhealthy relationships.
Are the relationships unrealistic? Absolutely. I find it fascinating how these contestants "fall in love" so quickly, the tricks the producers use to make us think certain things will happen, and the way Bachelor Nation chooses sides and reacts to the show. My friend and I were discussing how this reality dating model is outdated. The show has become a place for people who want to be influencers or are rising influencers to gain fame, the "love" part is a bonus. It used to be genuine people trying to find their person, and now it's a competition for who can get the most air time and followers. I definitely think the show needs a revamp!
Has a costume ever gotten so dirty that you had to go backstage and change
For me personally, no!
“As Mickie, or Minnie or Donald”?? Don’t you mean “hanging out with......”????
yep! :)
