Cast Conversations – Episode 2: Disneyland Paris Opening Day Cast Members

In our second episode of Cast Conversations – a series dedicated to employees and cast members at The Walt Disney Company to highlight their unique stories and faces behind the magic – we hear from three cast members who were part of the Disneyland Paris opening cast and crew over 30 years ago. Carmen and Quentin, the Disneyland Paris Ambassador duo, had the privilege to go around the ‘Zoom’ and hear some amazing stories from memorabilia to reminiscing on roles and challenges as cast prepared for opening day.

As we go back in time listening to all the Disneyland Paris stories, Camille, Steve and Scott are just a few of the many ‘pioneer’ cast members who have unique stories to tell. Stay tuned to this new series as we continue meeting magic makers all around the world, including more interviews in the next several weeks with Disneyland Paris opening day cast members to celebrate the 30^th Anniversary.
