Location: Casting, Downtown Disney
Walt Disney World is home to some of the greatest
shows, attractions, restaurants, shopping, and theme parks the world
has to offer. The most important factor to bring this magical place
to life is the Cast Members found throughout property. With more
than 65,000 people helping create the magic, one might often wonder
where this group of amazing people got their start. It's simple
really. Just across from Downtown Disney, you can find the Casting
building, where every (modern day) Cast Member gets their start.

Here Cast Members can interview for their jobs and
get some of their basic paperwork taken care of. The front entrance,
however, is home to a reference to an often overlooked Disney
character. Back in 1951, Disney released the animated classic, Alice
in Wonderland. While all of the characters found within the film can
be found in the original books, one character was made specifically
for the film and can be found at the entrance to the Casting
building:

That's right! The doorknob from the film can be
found at the entrance. Why? Just to show hopeful cast members that
some doors may be impassible, but nothing is impossible!
