Tom
Welcome to my website. My name is Tom and I currently work at the Walt Disney World Resort, Where Dreams Come True. I am a Cast Member with Walt Disney World Ticketing. Before moving over to an office job, I worked as a member of the Magic Kingdom team with Merchandise and Attractions for over three years.

Walt Disney World Ticketing LogoSo what did Webby do at the Magic Kingdom before moving to Ticketing? The area I was part of the longest and will always think of as home was Main Street Operations. I was an Area Coordinator for Park Greeter (Turnstiles), PAC (Parade Audience Control), and Steam Trains. Along with being a coordinator, I was also a trainer for the above areas and facilitator for Guest Service training for new hires. Aside attractions, I spent a year and a half in Merchandise at the Emporium and Main Entrance, along with several months as a Guest Relations Host at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Disney Parks - Where Dreams Come True
Most recently though, I was part of the Dream Squad. What is the Dream Squad you ask? The Dream Squad is a unique role for the Year of a Million Dreams at Disney Parks. The Dream Squad serves as a representative for the Walt Disney Company and as the official prize fulfillment team for the Disney Dreams Contest. As you can see, I have done a lot for being with the company only three years.

I am originally from Minnetonka, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis where I graduated from Hopkins High School in June of 2000. I started at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL in January 2001 after taking a semester off from UNH. While at Eckerd College, I was an active member of our campus and was even nomited for Most-Outstanding Third Year student in May 2003 and received the Eckerd Giver Award for outstanding leadership and service from the Dean of Students in May 2004. In May 2004, I graduated from Eckerd College with a degree in Environmental Studies and minors in Human Development and Communications.

So why the name Webby Aquatics? Webby Aquatics was the first name I came up with for my original website which I used to sell my services as a Lifeguard Instructor and Water Safety Instructor. It was simply a combination of my nickname, Webby, and my love for the water, aquatics. Since then, the site has evolved in to more of a personal site and is now dedicated to my blog on life.

So I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave me any feedback or comments. Have a magical day!
