Cast Members are known for making magic for guests each day. Cast Members truly add that extra touch of pixie dust!

The Disney Food Blog team just happens to be full of past Disney Cast Members. We recently have asked our team about their regrets while working as a Cast Member.

We reached out to our resident Cast Member alumni to tell us about their confessions from when they used to work at Disney World!

From confessions about which snacks got Cast Members through their shifts to working late hours, we compiled a list of eight confessions of former Disney Cast Members!

Disney is known for having iconic snacks and food offerings. Like we always say Food IS a Theme Park! Past Cast Members can agree with this statement.

A former Cast Member told us that when they worked at the French Quarter, they would get beignets after their shift. When they had to clock in in the early hours of the morning, they knew they would have a treat waiting for them once their shift was over!

Another former Cast Member confessed that after their shifts were done, they would order a cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern to go, that way they would have breakfast for the next morning!

You might be wondering how Cast Members can snag these treats before or during their shift. Multiple Cast Members have confessed to bringing street clothes to put over their costumes. Some Cast Members are allowed to get food on stage during their breaks as long as they are not in full costume.

We would totally do the same thing if it meant getting to have fun Disney treats on a break!

Working early and late hours are all part of the job when you work at Disney World. Cast Members who work night hours might get home late, but it is not all that bad!

One Cast Member told us that they actually liked working night shifts because it meant that they could walk in an empty park!

Working at the parks at night might mean that you get to see a nighttime spectacular! One Cast Member confessed that while working in Hollywood Studios they would stay on stage after they had clocked out to hear the music from Fantasmic!

Continuing on with nighttime entertainment, another Cast Member told us that they would watch the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks from the tables at Gaston’s Tavern. What a magical addition to a shift!

While Cast Members love to help guests, they also like to be guests!

One former Cast Member told us that they would go play in the parks before their shift. To make it to work on time, they would carry their costume with them!

As we know from the last confession, Cast Members like to visit and work in the parks but, sometimes they are ready to go home. After shifts, one Cast Member confessed that they would run through the Utilidors to catch the bus.

We are grateful to the Cast Members who shared their confessions and let us in on what life was like as a Cast Member.
