Guest Experience Team at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Posted: Monday April 29, 2019 3:51pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Following from the original pilot at the Magic Kingdom, Disney Guest Experience teams have now been deployed at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The teams at the Studios began appearing in the park earlier this month, and can be found at various locations throughout the park wearing blue shirts.

  • Near the Dedication Plaque and Statue 
  • Near Tower of Terror FastPass+ kiosk
  • Near the entrance to Toy Story Land
  • Near the entrance to Path of the Jedi

Just like at Magic Kingdom, they can help with wait times, FastPass+, My Disney Experience, Magic Bands and general park tips. The stations also feature a video display offering wait times and information.

But they can't afford live photopass photographers at character meet and greet locations for people who purchased Memory Maker. Stupid.

Here's what they SHOULD use with "the most awkward of guests"... Note: this is one reason why I doubt I'll ever work for Disney.

Well, I'm not going there lest my eyeballs be banned from this site.

I wonder if they will have a few extra FPs or reservations to arm themselves against the most awkward of guests

Guest Relations handles complaints and larger issues. These teams answer lots of questions, help with FP+ bookings, etc. Any larger issues or ticketing problems, they send you to GR.

I left the company before this role was implemented. How exactly does this differ from Guest Relations other than not being tied to one specific location in the park?

The actual podiums themselves are themed to the land - but the umbrellas are all the same bright(ish) blue so you can easily spot them.

Plenty on "that site"

The custodial cleaning crew that is visible in the park does this year round, answer guest questions, take pictures for guests, upkeep of the guest areas rain or shine.

I'd love to see a photo of these unthemed blue umbrellas to see how they fit in (or not).

They have had these since last December. It must be working well for them to upgrade to themed podiums. https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/news/19dec2018-photo---guest-experience-teams-deployed-throughout-magic-kingdom-to-help-with-peak-crowds.htm

I guess the pilot program was deemed successful and this is a permanent thing now? I hope those castmembers get a decent pay rate for having to stand out there in the heat/rain/etc and answer guest questions (often by themselves) all day. Does not sound fun!

You have this all wrong, this is the new park entertainment. all the shows consist of a angry guest screaming at some poor CM about perceived entitlement. ;)

More like "Disney Damage Control Teams." 😆
