March 8th is International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the achievements of women! While Disneyland Paris has an ongoing commitment to gender equality among its core pillars for diversity and inclusion, this important date around the world is yet another opportunity to engage with our Cast Members, our guests and the local community on one of our key values as an international and multicultural company.
In honor of the occasion, Disneyland Paris is spotlighting female Cast Members with incredible backgrounds who work in diverse roles across the resort to help bring the magic to life for our guests in unique ways. We will be sharing these profiles throughout the week right here on Disneyland Paris News and on our Twitter, showcasing different perspectives on what gender equality looks like at Disneyland Paris, while providing inspiration for future generations to come!
We are starting with Maëva Arlandis, a technical coordinator at Disneyland Paris’s Animation workshop who joined the company in October 2019 after earning degrees in robotic engineering and artificial intelligence.
