Earlier this week, I said goodbye to the 1st and only job I’ve ever had. It was my 4-year-old self’s dream to work at Disney and I still can’t believe it actually happened! In 1999, I started as a contract hire for Walt Disney Records where we designed CD and cassette packaging. Over the last 24 years, I’ve gotten to design more style guides, posters, packaging systems, retail environments, and toy concepts than my pea brain can even count. From working with Pixar, to Feature Animation, Disney Live Action films, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Walt Disney Imagineering, and finally Mickey - the reality of my Disney career was even better than the dream! I started as a Designer and somehow ended up as a Creative Director where I had the pleasure of mentoring some of the most talented designers and even better people. At a certain point, I had checked all the boxes I had ever wanted to at Disney and it felt like the time was right to go off and look for another adventure. One that takes me out of my comfort zone and helps me to grow as an artist and a person. While that can be a scary thing, having been on a very comfy Disney couch for so long, I do feel a huge sense of energy and excitement for whatever the future holds. A HUGE thanks to EVERYONE who has been a part of my Disney adventure! Whether we worked on a million projects together, said hi in the halls, or if you simply were a fan of the art, just know that it meant EVERYTHING to me! I feel like I’ve gained an amazing family of hundreds of people from this experience. I’m the worse at remembering what I’ve worked on but I do remember everyone I’ve ever crossed paths with. It was quite the memorable adventure because of you! Thanks for joining me and I’ll see you real soon - Eric ❤️ #disneycastlife #disneycastmember #disneycast #disneyart (at Disney Grand Central Creative Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqL5U7BPxwY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome

Hello everyone!

I am a former cast member and wanted to find a place where I could share the good, the bad and the ugly about my time working for mouse. I do not speak for the brand or the company, just simply sharing stories I have experienced. 

[erictanart]

Before calling it a day, I was able to tidy up my office a bit. Post-its and candy wrappers had littered the floor. Papers with bad sketches of things (I still use paper on occasion!) had piled up behind me. Empty Starbucks cups that were a few days old were cleared off the desk. After throwing everything into the recycling bins, it hit me that in a few weeks, I’ll be cleaning out my office for good. My 24-ish year career at Disney will come to an end soon enough and that’s perfectly ok. What i’ve learned and will keep from this experience is what matters. Those friendships and all of the memories will stay with me forever. I started at Disney Consumer Products as a junior in college who had no clue what “Consumer Products” even involved. OK, I’ll admit that I may not even have a full grasp of it yet after all those years BUT I have learned a lot and will take all of that knowledge with me to my next adventure, whatever that may be. I hope you’ll stick around for chapter 2 ❤️#disneycastlife #disneycastmember #disneyconsumerproducts (at Disney Grand Central Creative Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoMZ9ZtO6JA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 50th Anniversary to the Haunted Mansion! I was very fortunate to work as a butler at the Spooky House! It was my first attraction. I was even a trainer at one point, which was a lot of fun and rewarding! This place holds a special place in my heart, and will always be my first Disneyland ‘home!’ Happy Hauntings, and thanks for the great memories!! #HauntedMansion #HauntedMansion50 #NewOrleansSquare #Disneyland #HappiestPlace #SpookyHouse #DisneylandCM #DisneyCM #DisneyCast #DisneyCastMember #DisneylandCast #DisneylandCastMember #DisneyFan #DisneyFun #DisneyLove #DisneyLife #DisneyGeek #DisneyMagic https://www.instagram.com/p/B082m3pgDJW/?igshid=12yl637mu1dls

"It's kind of fun to do the impossible" -Walt Disney *SWIPE* Today marks 10 years that I have been a cast member! It's weird looking back and thinking that it's been a decade that I have helped create magic for hundreds of families all over the world. Being able to witness small children say the character's name as their first word, or even take their first steps towards you! Being able to celebrate with families in their momentous occasions, like baby announcements or engagements! Sometimes just being present is magical enough for the guests and I wouldn't trade it for the world! Pictured are a few of the many friends I gotten a chance to hang out with along the way! . . . . #disneyworld #magickingdom #epcot #hollywoodstudios #disneysidecast #animalkingdom #disneycharacters #meetandgreet #disneyig #mickeymouse #minniemouse #daisyduck #olaf #donaldduck #mariethecat #sofiathefirst #ilovedisney #disneycastmember (at Walt Disney World) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxyipU3gKGp/?igshid=1wh25s8qrpdyu
