One of our managers asked the cast to think about what motivates us... Well, let's cross off the fact that I simply love the Disney company...but I also love the inspiration that the company evokes. Allow me to elaborate, this is a globally recognized company that all started with one man's dream and a drawing. That alone is enough to inspire me to never write off my own dreams as trivial. As I write this I can hear that cheesy and "Disney-fied" tone but think about this...those cliché dreaming and believing motifs are associated with Disney because the company has proved anything is possible and continue to on a daily basis. I can remember being 15 sitting in front of Town Square Firehouse lining up for the Parade of Dreams at Disneyland and a woman from Guest Control tell me, "You should audition for the parade". Although I can't remember that Cast Member's name (I wanna say Geri...and she may have been from PhotoPass), it is the feeling that I could one day be good enough to dance down Main Street she left me with that still remains. To put it in Disney terms, "at last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted". I realize now that my motivation to perform for the Disney company lies in my desire to instill the hope that everybody's dream is valid and possible to achieve. I give each show my all so other 15 year old boys who love princesses (and everyone else) can watch Disney shows and be inspired to believe that there is no dream too big, even though it seems tough and impossible to achieve. #NoFear You know how people say "I can't imagine where I'd be if it weren't for *fill in the blank*? I've made some of my life's best memories while working at the Disney company and know that this adventure is just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe an iceberg analogy isn't the best to make while onboard...but I'm sailing the Caribbean, I better not see any icebergs.
