One thing is certain: Cast Members are the heart of the Walt Disney World Resort. They bring the Pixie Dust that runs the magic. Today the spotlight is on one of Disney’s most popular Cast Members!
Cast Compliments
Did you know that if you are in Walt Disney World, and you encounter a Cast Member who really makes your day, it is possible to leave a Cast Compliment? It’s true.
In fact, sending Cast Compliments is easier than ever now that Disney has rolled out the Mobile Compliments feature in the My Disney Experience app. You can read about it right HERE.
People often wonder if anything actually comes from a Cast Compliment. According to Disney, CMs who receive a Mobile Cast Compliment receive a digital certificate, along with a notification to their leader so they can be further recognized. And, some even earn special recognition for big milestones.
The Most Complimented CM
It only took 6 months for Cast Members to reach 100,000 Mobile Compliments, and the number has only grown from there. But, one Cast Member has earned the most compliments for two years running!
Disney’s most complimented Cast Member is none other than Willie! He is a PhotoPass photographer in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
