10 Words, And Phrases, That Have A Different Meaning To Disney Cast Members
Swan Dolphin

Being a Disney Cast Member introduces you to many things that you otherwise would have never experienced.

Of these things, special Disney lingo is one of them.

Here are some words and phrases a Disney Cast Member hears differently than literally everyone else in this world:

1. Grape Soda

Wait, what? Believe it or not, this is actually a meaningful phrase to cast members. And it's a good thing. And it has nothing to do with soda; but has to do with cast members being recognized for doing a great job.

2. The Hub

Definitely not the hub you're thinking of. But, it has dual meaning to cast members. It is where we get our schedules and request days off; as well as a place on Main Street with the best view of the night time fireworks.

3. Being "Friends With" Someone

Trust me. This has a VERY different meaning at Disney parks.

4. Fire

What, the hot stuff you roast marshmallows over? Being let go of your job? Both of these types of "fire" exist in Disney, but we don't use this word. We have our own words for these things. In fact, I think I forgot this word existed the entire time I worked at Disney.

5. Customer

....you mean a guest?

6. Quit

Once again, we don't use this word. I truly think Disney cast members forget this is a word in the English language.

7. "Food And Wine"

All three words must be present in this exact order for this to mess with a cast member's head. But nonetheless, it has a whole new meaning to them.

8. Keys

Car? House? Hahaha. Oh man. No, just Four. Four Keys.

9. Point

This is the closest word to meaning the same to cast members as non cast members, but it just triggers us slightly more. We don't want points at Disney.. but when we need TO point, there is only one way to do so.

10. Disney

Everyone loves Disney. But, this word is much more special to cast members. Disney is our home, our entertainment, our place of work, and basically our favorite thing ever. It takes on new meaning to us, perhaps more than anything else on this list.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
