Brothers Spotlighted for Keeping Disney World Running Behind the Scenes

Highlighting long‑tenured trades teams that sustain attractions, the piece doubles as a recruitment message for skilled workers.

Overview

  • Disney published the profile Tuesday, featuring brothers Michael and Bob to illustrate how Engineering Services keeps the resort operating.
  • Michael is a service manager who worked on the recent Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishment and is based mainly at Magic Kingdom.
  • Bob is a heavy‑equipment mechanic who maintains machines used by horticulture and custodial teams across the property.
  • Engineering Services accounts for about 2,600 cast members with an average tenure of roughly 11 years, covering trades such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, and ironwork.
  • Both brothers began in entry roles and credit family mentorship and on‑the‑job learning for their careers, a narrative Disney uses to show internal mobility and encourage new hires.
