Disney cast members (what the company calls its park employees) are the magic behind everything.
One of the easiest ways to recognize them is through a cast compliment. Each day as I leave the parks, I stop in at guest services and ask for a cast-compliment card or have someone at the desk help me fill one out virtually.
These cards are just one way to show appreciation to a cast member, whether you had a meaningful conversation with them, something went wrong and they made it right, or they just did something that made you smile.
To remember where I had these meaningful interactions, I make a note on my phone of the person's name, location, and about what time it took place.
After you've filled out the card, the employee will be recognized by their management team and the card goes into their personal file.
