They ARE Back!

[WEDWDW]

The International Cast Members are now returning to World Showcase!

So far it is just a "sprinkling",but it feels like old times in the Showcase!

 

[WEDWDW]

Everything we are hearing points to World Showcase being 100 % Internationals again by the end of the year!

Most of them returning were part of the "shutdown" and it is great they are back!

When you see them be sure to Welcome them back!

It is so exciting to see the Costumes and hear the accents once again!

In 1998 while staying at the Contemporary a desk clerk was from Brooklyn one day and from Brazil the next.

We have seen a lot of international cast members today in world showcase and it was awesome!

That's great to hear! It definitely doesn't feel the same at the WS without them. Makes me even more excited about the Christmas trip!

Of all the things we lost at the parks due to Covid this is probably what I have missed the most. Epcot/WS was not the same without them. It went from my 2nd favorite park next to AK, to my least. So happy to see things easing back toward normal operations

Funny I was at EPCOT yesterday and didn't notice any but I wasn't looking too hard

Yes,it is just a sprinkling so far but more are coming all the time.

Walk through all the shops in UK and you will almost certainly see at least one International CM.

There is usually a Canadian CM or 2 working the outdoor "shop" and/or maple popcorn stand in Canada.

We have seen 2 or 3 Norwegians working there at times-so wonderful to see the Norway costumes again!

We saw the first 2 we have seen in Germany yesterday and also saw the first 2 in Italy.

And we saw some in France the other day,but they were just walking through the Pavilion and went backstage-they were probably in training.

So they are definitely there-it is kind of like finding a Hidden Mickey!!!!lol

We were served wine at Les Vins de Chefs de France by a French woman, and our server at Via Napoli was from Italy. We also had Japanese CMs in the Japan Food and Wine booth, now that I think about it, but I know I’ve interacted with Japanese CMs in the Japan booth at other festivals, so they could have been local (or stayed local).
