    It’s always been my dream to work for Disney. You can really do anything at Disney.

At Disney you have to believe in the magic and enjoy making that happen for people.

    Disney affords its cast members a chance to learn how to create a large variety of different cuisines which makes cooking interesting.

    The best thing about working in culinary at Disney is the wonderful cast members I have worked with and all the guests I have met. Both have become like family to me.

    Working at the bakery, when we have down time, I get to practice my skills. It always feels good to master something. They’ve definitely been very helpful as far as letting me practice. I love the people. Everyone has such a great attitude. It’s fun coming into work; everyone’s in a great mood. It makes you feel at home and you really feel proud of what you do every day.
