""It's a completely anonymous, global program across Disney's theme parks. Cast members (Disneyspeak for employees) nominate each other and submit testimonies, with tens of thousands of nominations globally. The identity of nominees is kept under wraps, and it all culminates in a secret ballot. This is the voting process for one of Disney's highest honors, one that goes to fewer than 1% of park employees.""
""It's the Walt Disney Legacy Award, the highest recognition a Disney cast member can receive. Cast members awarded the honor receive the coveted blue Legacy name tag; on any given day, you might only spot a handful of cast members wearing one. Rick Henson, cast activities engagement manager at Disneyland Resort, is one of those cast members. It was a long journey to the blue name tag: He began his career with the Walt Disney Company over four decades ago.""
The Walt Disney Legacy Award is an anonymous, global peer-nominated recognition for Disney park employees, awarded to fewer than one percent of cast members. Nominations and testimonies number in the tens of thousands worldwide and the selection process culminates in a secret ballot. Recipients receive a distinctive blue Legacy name tag and are chosen based on three pillars: dream, create and inspire. The program began in 2011 as an evolution of earlier achievement initiatives and is awarded every few years to cast, crew and Walt Disney Imagineers. Rick Henson, a longtime Disney cast member, now helps bestow the honor.
