    S2 Ep 15: For One Night Only, Piano Rob

    Keys at the ready, we are so excited to bring our favourite piano player, @piano_rob to the podcast.

    Rob started his Disney career working on a college programme on the extremely missed Backlot tour, before diving into the musical world as a pianist at duelling piano bar, Jelly Rolls. Although Rob hasn't been at Jelly Rolls since Covid, he can now be seen playing at The Boathouse, Rose and Crown and Universal City Walk, along with performing at private hires too.

    S2 Ep 14: A Pint with Paige in Plaid

    Paige has had an immense career with the Disney company, working at Disneyland Paris in Quick Service (which as a Brit is pretty unheard of), working as Guest Relations at Walt Disney World (which again, is an extreme rarity) and finally as a CRP in the UK Pavilion - Paige’s story is truly a rollercoaster and was a dream for us to listen to on this podcast.

Love for Reaching out

Thank you so much for creating this podcast! As a cast member in these uncertain times you’ve created a safe place to connect our Disney family by listening and interviewing. It’s easy for all of us to feel alone right now but this podcast reminded me that feeling is far from the truth. We have an entire Disney family going through the same thing. Remembering the good days and looking forward to the future was a ray of sunshine in my life and reminder of hope to come. Love you guys!

I love hearing the experiences of other fellow cast members! This is a safe place to listen other people’s experiences and to know that you were not alone! Can not wait to relate some more and relive the magic!
