Starting today, Walt Disney World Cast Members will begin to receive their new specially designed nametags in the mail.
New Nametags for Walt Disney World Cast Members
Walt Disney World Cast Members will receive new nametags that were designed especially for them.
The new design will feature a gold star above a navy-colored silhouette of Cinderella Castle. This is to represent Cast Members as “the guiding light for The Most Magical Place on Earth.” The nametags also feature white stars throughout.
As we previously reported, Cast Members were to receive the new nametags soon, but won’t begin wearing them until May 16.
Cast Members with special themed nametags, such as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, will receive the new designs but will continue to wear the themed ones in the parks.
Recently, Disney shared a video on Facebook of the nametag creation process at the Walt Disney World Engraving Department to announce the new nametags. The post reads, “For cast members, Disney is a calling to be part of something extraordinary, something magical, and something incredibly unique. Our Disney nametags are a symbol that connects us to our guests and each other, and this spring, Walt Disney World cast will receive a new nametag with a never-before-seen design just for them.”
The new design wasn’t shown in the video, only the current EARidescent 50th anniversary and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge nametags. Disney wrote to Cast Members, “We’re not quite ready to reveal the design yet, but prepare for some magical mail.”
At the beginning of The World’s Most Magical Celebration, Cast Members were given sparkling nametags with a golden border and the 50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle logo at the top. Though the celebration is officially over, Cast Members were instructed to continue wearing their 50th anniversary nametags.
Disneyland Resort Cast Members received new Disney100 nametags recently that list their favorite Disney character instead of their hometown. Last year, Imagineers also debuted new shiny nametags celebrating 70 years of Walt Disney Imagineering.
