What’s it like being a cast member at Disneyland? That’s a question students from Stagecoach Performing Arts can answer after taking part in its annual Behind the Magic experience with Stagecoach partners Disneyland Paris and Travelbound – Educational Tours.

Two cohorts of older students took part in casting workshops, rehearsals, a Disney stage performance with Disney characters for an audience, and of course, got to explore the iconic park in their free time!

Auditions were also held in February half term for the 2026 Behind the Magic experience.

Fleur Manuel, Event manager at Stagecoach, said: “We felt very proud to have been with these young people, watching their excitement and seeing what can be achieved with hard work and enthusiasm.”

Chase Demmers, Educational Partnerships and Programme Development Manager at Stagecoach, added: “This is a very unique and exclusive experience and I feel very lucky to be able to work for a company that offers young people these amazing opportunities.”
