This is the 2nd episode in our Cast Member stories series and I sit down with Nic Swader to discuss his experience on the Walt Disney World College Program in fall 2016.

We talk about how his initial love for Disney grew into a desire to work at Walt Disney World, some of the behind the scenes info of his work location at Space Mountain and what he loved most about it.

We also dive into a very cool and special experience he had trying out for and being cast in one of the Disney Parks most honored holiday traditions, the Candlelight Processional. He shares about his audition experience, what celebrity narrators he got to sing with and the excitement this honor brought to his family and friends.
