Three Sisters Continue Their Grandmother's Walt Disney World Cast Member Legacy
This National Siblings Day, meet Kate, Brittany, and Rachel — three Walt Disney World cast members whose careers trace back to their grandmother's time as a cast member. Each works in a different corner of the resort, carrying on a family tradition that spans decades.

Three sisters, one magical legacy spanning decades. This National Siblings Day, Kate, Brittany, and Rachel share how their grandmother's love for Walt Disney World sparked careers that keep the magic alive for millions of guests.
The sisters' Disney story traces back to their grandmother, who worked as a Walt Disney World cast member and filled their childhood with park visits. Those early memories planted a seed none of them could have predicted would grow into three parallel careers at the resort.
"We were very fortunate to spend so much time at Disney World as children. Our grandmother really shaped those memories for us."
A Legacy Rooted in Family
Their connection to Disney stretches back decades, from childhood visits to performing together in the Candlelight Processional Cast Choir, a role their grandmother once held. Brittany was the first to take the leap, moving to Florida from New Jersey for school and picking up a part-time role at Walt Disney World. It wasn't long before her sisters followed.
Three Different Paths, One Shared Pride
Today, each sister works in a different corner of the resort. Kate works in Food and Beverage at Disney's Hollywood Studios, where her role opened the door to a passion for culinary arts. Brittany supports Entertainment as a scheduling specialist, coordinating experiences for performers, attendants, and technicians. Rachel works with the Disney Character Events team, bringing beloved characters to events across the property and beyond.
The Family's Disney Roots
- Grandmother: Former Walt Disney World cast member and Candlelight Processional choir member

What This Means for Aspiring Cast Members
The sisters' advice to other families considering Disney careers is simple: "Do it." With more than 80,000 cast members at Walt Disney World Resort, an average tenure of 12 years, and the lowest attrition rate in two decades, the resort clearly inspires the kind of loyalty that keeps families like Kate, Brittany, and Rachel's coming back generation after generation. Their story is proof that for many, working at Disney isn't just a job; it's a family tradition.
