Disneyland® Resort Celebrates 46th Annual Cast Member Canoe Races
August 13, 2009-Before most people are out of bed, Disneyland®
Resort Cast Members are racing around the Rivers of America in
canoes at Disneyland Park. The competition begins every July and
continues into August when the fastest team is determined.
Dating back to Walt Disney’s time, the Canoe Races is an annual
competition that gives Cast Members a unique opportunity to race
around the historic Rivers of America before the park opens to
guests. The event began in 1964 when Cast Members working at
Disneyland challenged each other to a race. Since then, the Canoe
Races have grown into a worldwide Disney Cast Member tradition, with
versions of the event held at Disney parks around the globe.
Working at a place as unique as the Disneyland®
Resort allows for Cast Members to participate in fun and exceptional
activities that not only promote team work, but focus on individual
health and wellness. In addition to canoe races, Cast Members can
often be found early in the morning practicing yoga or competing in
a variety of sports leagues.
