Episode 094 – Jessica Clawson, Part 2

Jessica Clawson

In this episode, we continue our 3-part interview with former Walt Disney World Cast Member, Jessica Clawson. In part 1, we talked about working at Toy Story Midway Mania and in the resorts as a Concierge, the transition to Magic Bands & My Disney Experience, and some great guest stories.

If you’re listening to this episode the day it comes out or the next day, I’m currently at the 2015 D23 Expo! There’s still time to follow along with all the cool stuff, so stay tuned to the Stories of the Magic Facebook page, though, for live reports, happenings, photos, videos, and more throughout the weekend of August 14-16. And if you’d like, follow me on Periscope at Belgarion42, since I’m going to try to do that some over the weekend, too!

In this episode, Jessica talks about…

  • A story of basically rescuing a guest’s vacation;
  • Something important that working at Walt Disney World taught her;
  • Working the front desk at the All-Stars, including doing a Spanish check-in, even though she doesn’t really speak much Spanish;
  • Being a room assigner;
  • Teaching in the Youth Education Series: Science of Disney Imagineering, and Exploring Disney Animation History;
  • A time when an angry guest demanded to speak to Walt Disney;
  • Youth Education Series programs in the other WDW theme parks;
  • Which of the programs she taught that was her favorite and why;
  • A detour with some love for Walt Disney…and a bit of a rant about the proper name for Walt Disney World;
  • A couple of really fun stories from teaching the Y.E.S. program.
