10 Things Cast Members Love Doing When They Visit Magic Kingdom

9. Visit friends who are working Chances are a cast member who is off and playing in Magic Kingdom knows at least one CM who is working, and they will always go to visit them. Cast members love getting visitors at work, and who better than a friend who also works for Disney? Plus, they get to take pictures of you in your costume so you can share it with the world. And if they work an attraction, t

10. Chill in the hub grass When I was a cast member, hanging out on the hub grass with Starbucks was the thing to do and I know many other cast members who do the same thing! If you ever see a group of people on the hub grass with Starbucks and they’re taking a lot of pictures, they are probably a group of people that are cast members. Cast members are fairly easy to spot, even when they’re off th

5. Meet characters Meeting characters is the highlight of any trip to the parks, and for a cast member this also rings true. They especially love going to meet Mickey Mouse, especially since he’s the boss man. Cast members love meeting face characters too—especially Gaston. You’ll probably see groups of girls going to meet him and I promise you it’s a group of cast members.

6. Ride their favorite ride Whether it’s Space Mountain or the Peoplemover, cast members love riding their ride over and over when it’s their day off in the park. Chances are they made a fastpass for it, too, just to make sure they got to ride it at least once.

7. Watch Wishes Cast members love closing out the park and getting to watch Wishes. In my opinion, it’s the most inspiring and magical nighttime show Disney has to offer, and many CMs gather in groups to watch it on their nights off.

8. Watch Festival of Fantasy When I was a cast member, going to Magic Kingdom just to watch Festival of Fantasy was something I did often. It’s the best parade Disney World has, and there is no better way to spend a day off than blowing kisses to Flynn Rider and waving to Mickey Mouse.

2. Ride Haunted Mansion and recite the spiel If you have ever seen someone reciting the entire spiel on a ride, nine times out of 10 they are a cast member who has been on the ride one too many times.

4. Buy merchandise Buying merchandise is the death of a cast member’s wallet, especially since they get a discount! New merchandise is always popping up, so it’s easy to justify wanting to buy something if it just came out, especially since popular merchandise goes fast and sometimes doesn’t get restocked for awhile.
