Her most popular character, a lipstick-bedecked wannabe star whose false confidence in her singing talent motivates her to behave like a diva, first went viral while she was employed at Disney's California Adventure, performing in shows based on Playhouse Disney and High School Musical. She was fired by the park because she kept breaking character to respond to fans of her videos, but she enjoyed years of success on YouTube, until a scandal involving inappropriate contact with a minor brought that to a halt, too.

He has rocked out as a member of so many notable bands—Devo, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, Sublime, the Vandals, Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, and more—that it's easy to overlook his first, a Top 40 cover band that played on stage at the Tomorrowland Terrace restaurant. By then he had already spent a lot of time at the park, since his father led the Disneyland Band, who he used to march behind while playing toy instruments. Go »

She rose to fame in the violent rape-revenge thriller I Spit on Your Grave and its sequel, playing a woman who is held captive and forced into sex.

Prior to becoming one of Disney's most bankable directors with the likes of Toy Story and Cars—and one of their most high-profile separations in the wake of a #MeToo scandal—he spent summers working as a skipper aboard the Jungle Cruise attraction in Adventureland. What was he studying in college at the time? Character animation at CalArts, as taught by veteran Disney animators including Eric Larson, Frank Tomas, and Ollie Johnston. Go »

Music

This hit-making songwriter is best known for his collaboration with the Carpenters, particularly lifelong friend Richard Carpenter, with whom he played live music in the Coke Corner (now Refreshment Corner) restaurant on Main Street, USA while they were just starting out. The duo was fired after four months for playing contemporary hits instead of old-timey music, but his career turned out just fine, seeing as he went on to write hits for Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Madonna, George Strait, and others. He also wrote many theme songs for TV shows, including Growing Pains starring Joanna Kerns, who herself once worked at Disneyland, playing Pinocchio's Blue Fairy in the Main Street Electrical Parade.
