During a special ceremony at the Fantasyland Theatre at Disneyland, the 2026-2027 Disney Ambassador team for the Disneyland Resort was revealed. The new team includes Oralia Neria Felix and Michele Mary. They were revealed at the end of a ceremony that was hosted by the current Disneyland Ambassador team, Jada Young and Raul Aquino Rojas. The event also marked a celebration of 60 years for the Disney Ambassador program. The program was established in 1965 when Walt Disney chose Julie Reihm Casaletto as the very first Disney Ambassador. Sixty years later, the program has grown to include a global team representing thousands of cast members around the world who play a key role in bringing the magic of Disney into the community.
The actual reveal was made by Disneyland Resort President Thomas Mazloum. He was joined by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse for the moment. Before this happened, he shared some very kind and gracious words about the current Disney Ambassador team. Then, the five finalists for the new Ambassador team were brought on stage. This was followed by a video that showed each of them. Finally, the announcement was made. Those in attendance cheered heartily as the confetti shot into the air. Tears of joy could be seen as hugs were given, and the new Disney Ambassador team made their way to the stage.
“The most emotional part of the day was seeing my parents’ faces when my name got called,” said Oralia. “I’m so happy that I can make them proud and know that they’ve touched every part of my journey.”
“I can’t wait to make everybody at this resort and company proud by showing off the wonderful place we call home,” said Michele.
The ceremony wrapped up with the new Disney Ambassador team on stage as they stepped into a new role and a new life for the next two years.
