One celebrity just proved that it’s NEVER too late to live out your Disney dream!

We’ve seen all kinds of celebrity news lately, like celebrities commenting on possible returns to hit Disney movie franchises and celebrities commenting on movie sequels. And we’ve even shared an entire guide to how to spot celebrities in the Disney parks. But now one Disney celeb has a truly unique moment!
Looks like things have come full circle for Josh Gad — the voice of Olaf in Frozen and the actor who played Lefou in the live-action Beauty and the Beast film. Back in 2022, Gad became a Disney Legend and made a special shout-out at the end of his speech.

Though his entire speech is enough to make you laugh until you cry, at the end, Gad really took things to the next level by making a direct message to whoever rejected him at the Disney Casting Headquarters in Orlando when he was 18. Turns out Gad had applied to be a Jungle Cruise skipper but Disney (at that time) didn’t approve his application. Gad asked the department to please make sure to update his resume to “Disney Legend” Josh Gad. 😆
But now it looks like Gad might be able to add another title to his resume…FINALLY!

It might have taken over 20 years, but Gad FINALLY got the chance to become a Jungle Cruise Skipper, this time over at Disneyland! Disney shared a fun video detailing Gad’s day on the rivers and his delivery of some of those iconic Jungle Cruise Skipper jokes (as well as a few unique jokes of his own — even Samantha gets mentioned — Frozen 2 fans will get the reference!).
If you were given the chance to live out a Disney dream, what would it be? Becoming a Skipper? Becoming a member of the staff at The Haunted Mansion? Dancing in a parade? Tell us in the comments below!
