- As a little girl growing up
and watching all the Disney movies,
it was a dream of mine to come
and actually be part of the Disney family.
I love working for the studio,
a studio that brings great
stories and films to people
all around the world.
- Growing up, I loved everything Disney,
and some of my fondest childhood memories
are of going to the parks with my family.
Now that I get to work at
the Walt Disney Company,
I feel like I get to be
a part of that world of storytelling
that the company continues
to provide for families
all around the world.
- I'll never forget my first Disney toy.
It was a Mickey plush.
I remembered how much joy
that toy brought to me,
and I always think about
that when I design toys.
I have the greatest job in the world.
- As a child, I used to spend hours,
not just playing video
games, but designing them
and imagining what if it was my game.
And now as a member of the
Disney Interactive team,
I'm able to bring my
game ideas to the world.
- As a kid, growing up as a sports fan
and someone who loved sports,
"Sports Center" was the only
thing I watched on television.
Now, coming to work every day,
it's great to be a part of the ESPN family
and serve sports fans across the globe
on how they consume content.
- I started off at Disney ABC
Television Group as an intern,
then got the chance
to work with a great
video team for abc.com.
And now every day, I work
with an executive producer
and head writer on crafting great stories
for ABC Television.
It's been a really cool ride.
- When I was about 10 years old,
I saw the Main Street
Electrical Parade at Disneyland
for the first time.
It was like a dream.
And now working for
Disney parks and resorts
in Disney Creative Entertainment,
I get to make other
people's dreams come true.
I direct the parades and the shows
that entertain thousands of guests.
- Growing up, me and my friends
used to make little
Spider-Man comic books.
And now I get paid to write
Spider-Man for Marvel comics.
When you have a creative career at Disney,
you're putting a little bit
of yourself into these stories
that will be around forever.
