This morning, Serena Arvizu and Shannon Smith-Conrad were unveiled as the new 2024-2025 Walt Disney World Ambassador Team. We were there to see the reveal and check out the festivities.
What’s Happening:
- Of the more than 300 applications Disney received, five finalists were selected to potentially be the next Walt Disney World Ambassadors.
- The Ambassador Program dates back to 1965 when Walt Disney selected the first Disneyland Ambassador, Julie Reihm. Disney Ambassadors serve as the Resort’s “Emissaries of Goodwill,” media representatives and as official hosts to Resort guests. As official spokespeople, Ambassadors offer the outside community a personal relationship with the Resort.
- This morning, a ceremony at EPCOT officially introduced Serena Arvizu and Shannon Smith-Conrad as the 2024-2025 Walt Disney World Ambassador Team.
- The ceremony kicked off with a musical medley, followed by words from past and current WDW Ambassadors. At the end, Arvizu and Smith-Conrad found out that they had been selected to serve as the next Ambassadors.
