PHOTOS: Cultural Representatives from Around the World Return to World Showcase at EPCOT

If you’ve ever experienced the magic of traveling around the world and learning about the unique cultures and customs of 11 countries – all in the same day – it’s likely you’ve been to EPCOT and met some of our beloved Cultural Representatives in the World Showcase. Over the past few weeks, the park started welcoming back Disney Cultural Representatives who have come from far and wide to help  create authentic, immersive experiences for Guests.


Disney Cast Members, Crew Members, Imagineers, and Programs Participants represent a special community of people dedicated to bringing happiness and joy to the world. From their initial arrival day at Flamingo Crossings Village — the new, state-of-the-art housing complex for Disney Programs participants — to their first week of on-the-job training at EPCOT, these special Cast Members are getting acquainted with their new roles and having a blast doing it!


For some participants, this is their very first Disney Program and they are eager to help create distinctly-Disney magic for Guests from all over the world. Others have experienced the magic of a Disney International Program before and were longing to return to discover more and create even more memories.

“I’m most excited to relive the experience again,” said Marco Cerri, a returning participant from Milan. “I loved sharing my knowledge about my culture and the beauty of my country with guests and learning how to inspire others.”


In addition to interacting with guests from around the world, participants get to meet other Cast Members and Disney Programs participants and create long-lasting friendships.

“It’s so wonderful to be back and reconnect with all the people I used to work with and I’m so excited to meet all the new people on my journey,” said Melanie Bernert, a returning Cultural Representative from Schongau, a small town in Germany.
