Welcoming Travelers to Batuu: Gavin Sanches on the Disney College Program

Episode Description:

Ever wondered what it’s like to welcome travelers into the most infamous cantina in the galaxy? In this episode of Backstage Pass, I sit down with Gavin Sanches, a former Disney College Program cast member who worked at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Oga’s Cantina. Gavin shares his experience creating out-of-this-world moments for guests, the friendships (and even romance!) he found along the way, and what it was like to be part of the immersive storytelling that makes Batuu so special. Plus, we chat about his next adventure at Universal Studios Hollywood and how the magic of theme parks continues to shape his journey.
