Question

Why do you think the Walt Disney Company uses the term “cast members” for its employees?

Answer 1

So when Walt was building an entertainment company, “he believed that everything you do should advance the story.” So if you're an employee at Disney World or Disneyland, you're part of the story. That's why Disney park employees are called “Cast Members” rather than employees—even if they're not playing a character

Answer 2

To not ruin the magic at Disney and ruin children’s dreams of thinking it was actually a place of magic where everybody is happy bring the magic to life.
