From Audience to Magic Maker
One of the newly appointed Disney Ambassadors, Wong, grew up with
cherished memories of HKDL from her frequent visits with her family.
Among her fondest memories was watching the classic musical "The Golden
Mickeys." The story of Bebe—a character who dares to chase her dreams
and shine on stage—left a lasting impression. It embodied the power of
friendship, courage, and aspiration, and planted the seed of becoming a
"Disney Magic Maker" in the heart of Wong, a dance enthusiast herself.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Wong grew up as an only child in a
protective home—but she was never one to stay sheltered. Determined to
carve out her own path, Wong joined communications & public affairs
in 2022, driven by her passion for storytelling through photography and
videography. From a summer intern to a publicity assistant, she has
interviewed numerous incredible cast members and captured their
treasured moments in the resort and was entrusted with the role of one
of HKDL's content creators. She also supported the opening of the World
of Frozen and helped promote "The Most Magical Party of All!"
With her boundless passion, Wong brings Bebe's spirit to life through
her actions. "HKDL has been a part of my life growing up. The stories
here have always encouraged me to dream boldly. Embracing the energy and
innovative spirit of Generation Z, I aim to strengthen our connections
among cast members and share the magic of Disney with even more people,"
she said. By sharing her own story, she hopes to inspire others to
bravely pursue their dreams, ensuring Disney's unique charm to continue
shining brightly and ignite the aspirations of many.
Sharing Joy Through Cultural Diversity
Like Wong, Rocca has also found her dream stage at HKDL. Rocca joined
entertainment in 2022 as a performer, captivating guests with her
vibrant energy and storytelling talents across various corners of the
park. During the 20th anniversary celebration, she performs in the
resort's largest-ever parade, "Friendtastic!" Parade, where she uses
music and dance to transcend language barriers and connect deeply with
guests and fellow cast members alike.
With Caribbean and Spanish heritage, Rocca grew up in a multicultural
environment that instilled in her a profound appreciation for inclusion
and empathy. At HKDL, where cast members and guests come from diverse
backgrounds, she has witnessed firsthand the power of respect and
harmony. This experience inspired her to pursue the Disney Ambassador
role. "I hope to further Disney's vision by ensuring every cast member
and guest feels accepted and respected, and that everyone can find a
sense of belonging here at HKDL," she shared.
With her vibrant and cheerful personality, Rocca is excited to embrace
her role as an Ambassador, aiming to inspire others through her warmth
and positive energy. She is committed to helping cast members from
diverse cultural backgrounds feel more at home within Disney's inclusive
family. Additionally, Rocca will actively participate in Disney
VoluntEARS activities, spreading the magic of Disney to every corner of
the community.
Continuing the Magical Tradition Passing on the Disney Magic
Though Wong and Rocca come from different backgrounds, they share a deep
passion for Disney and a heartfelt commitment to their dreams. Wong
connects people through creativity and storytelling, while Rocca brings
magic and joy to life through her energetic personality and
multicultural background. Together, their stories embody the true spirit
of Disney Ambassadors—dreaming boldly, connecting sincerely, and
spreading joy—as they continue to carry forward the timeless magic of
Disney.
The Legacy of Disney Ambassadors
The Disney Ambassador program was first introduced by Walt Disney in
1965 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Disneyland Resort. Since
then, it has become a cherished tradition across Disney parks and
resorts worldwide. Since opening in 2005, HKDL has selected Ambassadors
each term among its cast members.
The newly appointed Ambassadors will carry forward this legacy by
participating in Disney VoluntEARS activities to bring wonder to those
in need, welcoming guests from around the world to showcase HKDL's
unique charm, and organizing events that unite cast members—spreading
Disney's magic and positivity throughout the community.
