At Disney Institute, we love sharing stories about how simple ideas can transform the guest experience.

In Part 2 of our video series The Collaboration Effect, we highlight how Guest Relations Cast Members at EPCOT discovered the power of something small—crayons! 🖍

Through thoughtful work with ODP Business Solutions, this everyday tool helps keep little ones engaged, gives parents a moment to recharge, and helps Cast Members create more personalized magic.

Head over to our blog and see the impact for yourself. 💫

We’re excited to share the first video in our new four part series, The Collaboration Effect — a look at how purposeful partnerships help us elevate experiences for both employees and guests.

This first story focuses on the employee experience and how solving even a small challenge can make a meaningful difference. Our Housekeeping Cast Members were spending valuable time removing tiny bits of “pixie dust” (confetti) from guest rooms. So our teams worked with ODP Business Solutions to find the right tool that would reduce this daily hassle.

The result? A simple solution that helped Cast Members feel more supported, confident, and prepared to create magic for our guests. 💫

How does previous experience shape facilitation? 💡

"My experience across different roles at Disney shaped my belief that culture is built in everyday moments. In our Professional Development Courses, I help leaders translate values into consistent behaviors that elevate both team and Guest experiences." - Sr. Facilitator Barbara

"I love to share personal stories of my interactions with Guests and Cast Members that showcase our content is not just words on a screen but is truly how we operate to create magical experiences each day. This also allows me to connect on a personal level with our participants to share how our content can be adapted to their specific industry." - Sr. Facilitator Jen
