About The Role & Team
Disney has long been known for the quality of our Guest Experience, including world-class service. Where a “Consumer” represents our at-home audience, and a “Guest” is immersed in our products and experiences, we are making the distinction of the “Customer Experience” to focus even more on all the interactions, rules, and requirements involved to consider, plan, purchase, reserve, and manage the elements of a Walt Disney World (WDW) vacation.
Today, it is increasingly important for us to help Customers understand WDW, make confident choices, navigate our unique planning requirements and business rules, and for us to provide quality service when and how they expect.
