And one recent revelation that stemmed from the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration also gave us insight into who Disney Cast Members consider their favorite character!

Cast Members at Disneyland will be wearing new Disney100 nametags that, for the first time, feature the CM’s favorite character instead of their hometown.

As Gustin mentions in his tweet, the cute fact that came to light through these pins was that the most common pin that had to be made featured Stitch from the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch. This is unsurprising, considering the beloved Disney character is in high enough demand to warrant his live-action movie. The upcoming live-action is based on the animated Disney Lilo and Stitch film.
This is also not the first time Stitch has “taken over” the Parks (and fans’ hearts) in a way. Think of the time he took over the Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom!
Regardless, it’s truly wonderful that these pins will now feature not only Cast Members’ names but also their favorite characters. Disney Cast Members are the heart and soul of the Disney experience, and it’s lovely that they also get to share the characters they love with Guests through this new initiative which is sure to find many a happy visitor!
