CastCandids embodies the spirit of kindness and joy that Walt Disney World aspires to spread. As a non-profit initiative, CastCandids once ensured that the unscripted magical moments cast members shared with guests were captured authentically. However, since the discontinuation of CastCandids, these precious memories are lost, leaving a void in the authentic experience Disney is known for.

Cast members do not have access to cell phones or personal cameras while on duty, which limits their ability to preserve those spontaneous and heartfelt interactions with guests. CastCandids offered a perfect solution by stepping in to take candid photos of these unique moments, allowing everyone to hold on to these precious memories. These photographs have always been provided free of charge, and there was never a fee for individuals who wished to print or share their photos with family and friends.

This initiative wasn't just about photographs—it was about creating a culture of goodwill, fostering the 'pay it forward' mentality that resonates deeply with our community and the vision of Disney himself. CastCandids enabled cast members and their families to have mementos of their magical experiences, regardless of their financial capacity.

Without CastCandids, these moments remain fleeting and undocumented, overshadowing the wholesome connections that visitors cherish and cast members aim to cultivate. Reinstating CastCandids at Walt Disney World will enhance not only the visitor experience but also fortify the purpose-driven roles of the cast members.

By signing this petition, you are supporting the reinstallation of CastCandids, advocating for the magic to be captured and cherished for all, and enabling a gesture of kindness that aligns with spreading joy and kindness at Walt Disney World.
