In this episode, we begin a 2-part interview with creator of the ZannaLand website and former Walt Disney World Cast Member Suzannah Mitchell. We had a great talk about her time as a Cast Member, creating and running ZannaLand, being on the Disney Moms Panel, what she really wanted to do for Disney, and more.
In this episode, Suzannah talks about…
- How she got started working for Disney and what she did;
- Being one of the first people to work at the Main Street Athletic Club;
- What it felt like to be in Disney’s Traditions class;
- Getting her name tag;
- Moving back up north and working at the Disney Store—and how different that was from working in the parks;
- Moving back to Florida and finally getting the job she’d wanted all along;
- Having to give that job up sooner than she’d have liked;
- Why Disney, especially the Disney parks, mean so much to her;
- The first time she remembers thinking, “I’m really part of this!”—it’s one of her most treasured memories;
- Her first visit to Disneyland;
- What she loved most about working for Disney;
