Hey everyone. I'm giving a speech on Wednesday for my Business & Professional Communications class. It's on Disney's 7 Guidelines for Guest Service. I'm writing the PowerPoint tonight and I was trying to come up with unique greetings like Howdy, Aloha, Welcome Home and Jambo Disney uses to emerse guests in the show. Can ya'll think of any more? I'd like to have more than 4 on my slide. Thanks so much!

Willkommen (German), Bienvenue (French), Bienvenidos (Spanish), Benvenuto (Italian), Bem-vindo (Portugese)

Hope those help! Good luck!

Here's the ones that I taught to new hires during orientations at Disney's Polynesian Resort, along with their origination (at least as presented).


Malo e lelei (Tonga)
Kia Ora (Aotearoa)
Mbula Vinaka (Fiji)
Taalofa (Tuvalu)
Aloha (Hawaii)
Talofa (Samoa)
Fakaalofa (Niue, and yes, I'd usually pick someone else in the room to say this one ;-) )
Talofa (Tokelau)
Ia Orana (Tahiti)
Rata (Rapa Nui)

I know they're all probably a little exotic, but hope this helps!

I like to start Disney speeches with the monorail greeting:

"please stand clear of the doors; por favor manténganse alejado de las puertas."
