Why I Wanted to Work for Disney: My Favorite Memory

I have constantly been asked by my fellow cast members "Why do you want to work for Disney?"

...As a child, my family surprised my sister and I with a trip to Disney World. My only desire was to meet Princess Jasmine and Aladdin (no surprise there...) I remember meeting my favorite princess wearing my Jasmine shirt, hair tie, necklace, socks, etc. I simply adored her.

When I met her, I lit up. Princess Jasmine told me that she was going to wave to me (which I thought meant just me) at the parade that afternoon. And that she did... During the parade, Princess Jasmine waved to me atop the Aladdin float and I was overwhelmed with excitement. This made me believe in the magic of Disney. And this is why I wanted to be a part of the magic...
