One of the funniest stories I know is about a cast member at a Disney restaurant. A guest asked if they could get a special Mickey - shaped pancake. The cast member, who was not a chef, decided to try and make it himself in the kitchen. He came back with a rather lopsided and very oddly - shaped 'Mickey' pancake. But the guest was so amused by his effort that they ate it happily and even took a picture with the cast member. It just goes to show the lengths Disney cast members will go to make guests happy.
Sure. A cast member playing Tinker Bell got her wings caught in a bush while flying (on a wire) across the area. She was dangling there for a few seconds trying to free herself while still maintaining her pixie - like charm. The guests were all pointing and laughing in a good - natured way.
Once, a Disney cast member was dressed as Goofy. He was walking around and accidentally tripped over a small stone. Instead of breaking character, he did this really exaggerated fall that made all the guests around laugh. It was so funny seeing Goofy flailing about in such a comical way.
Sure. There was a foster parent who had a little girl who was obsessed with making forts. One day, she used all the sheets in the house to build a huge fort in the living room. When the foster parent came home, they couldn't even find the couch. But instead of getting mad, the foster parent joined in and they had a 'fort party' inside with snacks and stories.
There was this cast member working at a Disney World restaurant. A customer asked for a special Mickey - shaped pancake, which wasn't on the menu. The cast member, being very creative, used a cookie cutter to shape a regular pancake into a Mickey. When he served it, the customer was overjoyed and it became a great moment that was shared among the tables nearby.
Yes. There's the story of the haunted dressing room. A cast member claimed that when they were alone in a dressing room, they heard the sound of a costume rack moving on its own, as if someone was rifling through the costumes. It was rumored that a former cast member who had a great love for the theater part of Disney had passed away and might be haunting that particular dressing room.
Sure. There was a customer who ordered a huge ice - cream cone at Disney World. As he was walking and enjoying it, a bird flew by and snatched a big chunk right off the top. His shocked expression was priceless.
Yes, there was a time when he was on - stage at an awards show and he did this really goofy dance while accepting an award. He just started doing these wild and uncoordinated moves that had everyone in stitches.
Well, once a cast member was guiding a group of guests through the park when a sudden rain shower started. Instead of running for cover right away, he grabbed some large leaves and used them as makeshift umbrellas for the kids in the group. It was really funny to see this improvised solution and the kids thought it was a great adventure.
Sure. I remember a guy who got a toilet - shaped mug for Christmas. It was a novelty item, but it was really strange to drink out of. Every time he took a sip, it just felt so wrong. Then there was the girl who received a box of expired Christmas cookies as a gift. Her 'generous' friend had forgotten to check the expiration date.
A cast member once had a family approach them with a very tight schedule. They wanted to experience as many rides as possible in a short time. The cast member coordinated with other teams, got them fast passes through some special arrangements, and also gave them insider tips on the best times to visit each ride. By the end of the day, the family had an amazing experience, all thanks to this helpful cast member.
One common story is about the ghosts in the Haunted Mansion. Cast members have reported seeing strange figures or feeling cold spots in that area. Another is the story of a cast member who heard unexplained laughter in an empty part of the park after closing.
