Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, my friend Samantha joins me to discuss her dream gig as a character performer with Disney Cruise Line. Samantha recently finished a nine-month contract on the Disney Wonder. During our conversation, we talk about the whole process including the auditions, rehearsal and safety training, performing on the ship, and the day-to-day schedule. Whether you're someone who is interested in possibly working for Disney Cruise Line someday, or you simply enjoy being a guest on a Disney cruise, you'll surely have a new outlook on the hard work that goes into making daily dreams a reality for guests. That and so much more is coming your way on this episode of Dizney Coast to Coast.
