Jose Castillo

I grew up in South Florida, so Disney World was just a few hours away and I would often visit with my family. In 2008, I joined the WDW News Today family as a Graphic Designer and helped developer the website into what it is. Today, I happily live minutes away from the happiest place on earth. I'm so happy to be able to be part of such an amazing family and be able to bring you the latest Disney news.
