Only about 350 of 66,000 Disney World cast members received the distinct Legacy Award name tag last spring. The Disney Legacy special recognition is based on nominations by fellow cast members. Winners, chosen by a panel of cast members, leaders and executives, are honored for excelling in three categories – “dream,” “create” and “inspire.”
Disney Legacy Award winners must go above and beyond every day, help improve the work environment and inspire others. Winners get to wear the blue tag, emblazoned with their name, home town and the words – DREAM, CREATE, INSPIRE – for as long as they are employed at Disney.
