About Me

I’m Caitlin, and I’m finally coming through the other side of my quarter-life crisis. I live in Florida with my spoiled little cats, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock IV and Astrid Cagney Hofferson. I had the privilege of working at the Great Movie Ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for four years and was part of the closing team, so you might have seen me as a tour guide, Mugsi Toccata, or Kate Durango. I’m now currently a guide at Kilimanjaro Safaris. When I’m not driving around in circles pointing at four different kinds of antelopes, I’m often found performing in local theatrical productions. or spending time with my giant boyfriend. Favorite things include the smell of dryer sheets, marathons of canceled TV shows, and rainy days (as long as I’m indoors at home).

“Because I’m a lady, that’s why.” #charleysaunt #kittyverdun

When I was five, I kept my eyes closed through my entire ride trough of the Great Movie Ride. When I was fifteen, it was the number one entry on my “I have to do this” list. Three years later, I became a Movie Rider myself. And then I was lucky enough to come home and do it all over again. I took thousands of trips under the marquee. I got to be Mugsi and Kate, blowing up banks and jumping for the jewel. I had the privilege of training dozens of amazing new Movie Riders and hopefully giving them some of my passion. I (very briefly) got to be a part of the Hurray for Hollywood team. And I got to help host the Oscars. My time at GMR wasn’t perfect, but it gave me some of the best experiences and put some of the most amazing people in my life. For a while was my number one reason to get up in the morning and keep moving forward during a very, very dark time in my life- knowing I could pour myself into my job, be surrounded by people who cared about me, and create happiness and movie magic. I know I can’t go home again, but I’ll take it with me wherever I go. Ready when you are, CB. #greatmovieride #thelittlestmugsi #thelittlestbandit #slowmovingtramfam #astheanubisdoorturns #onceamovierider

I have no idea what she’s doing but at least she’s cute. Maybe she thinks she’s an owl? #astridthekitten #hiccupthecat

It’s #internationalcatday so here’s a picture of my little old man and my babycat in a laundry basket like doofuses. #hiccupthecat #astridthekitten

The AC went out in the theater today. What a great time to be in full Victorian garb. (The muslin and cotton dress in the first two acts was fine, but the polyester mass market corset and the taffeta evening dress were the worst.) #charleysaunt #kittyverdun

Today is the last performance of Charley’s Aunt. It’s been a lot of fun playing a sassy Samantha doll for the past three weeks. (And also annoying @smoochyfan23) #charleysaunt #kittyverdun

This guy got to experience Trail’s End for the first time today. Also, we’re pretty cute. And his hat says “Gramps.”

Everything’s better when it involves swirling around in a ballgown (ps: come see Charley’s Aunt) (also ps: I made this dress) #charleysaunt #kittyverdun #simplicity4479

Current mood. (Charley’s Aunt opens on Friday. Yikes on 🚲🚲🚲)

I took a pilgrimage on this most blessed of days (cast member discount till the 15th!)

My Facebook memories are A Mood today #thelittlestmugsi #greatmovieride

“Father, no! I’m indecent!” Here I am as #mediaequitypatricia from Carousel of Progress. I mean...Kitty Verdun in Charley’s Aunt. #carouselofprogress #kittyverdun #charleysaunt

It’s official!! #disneycastmember #kilimanjarosafaris #thelittlestsimbaone #greatmovieride #thelittlestmugsi #thelittlestbandit #88789 #startours #youhaveall40

Pro tip: don’t put your script in the front of your overalls because your script will fall straight down and then you and @jillianmhoward will laugh for the next eight minutes. Also pro tip: wearing a corset and overalls together is a bad idea. #charleysaunt #kittyverdun #mayonnaise?

It’s a big day! I might not have gotten my official pin, but five years ago today I was in Traditions, getting ready to start my Disney career. I started as part time at Star Tours, got full time in six months, and trained at Great Movie Ride the following spring. I was fortunate enough to be a tour guide, a gangster, a bandit, a trainer (sometimes a trainer wearing gangster heels because I got pulled and forgot my sneakers), and, for a brief and shining moment, a Hurray for Hollywood facilitator. (And PAC. There was a lot of PAC.) Now I’m a safari guide and a Yes facilitator. It’s been a great five years, and I can’t wait to see how far my Disney journey will take me. #thelittlestmugsi #thelittlestbandit #greatmovieride #kilimanjarosafaris #thelittlestsimbaone #disneycastmember

Nobody on the savanna understands; none of my closest friends even have hands #thelittlestsimbaone #kilimajarosafaris #disneycastmember @meangirlsbway

brb, running to ride Slinky Dog (y’all it’s a lot of fun and I can’t wait for the land to officially open) 📸: @cstratohmy

Me: “Can I get a Han Solo cup?” Waitress: “Girl, I don’t know Star Trek! I’ll ask.” (@shaneisrad this cup is yours since he’s your fave)

When you want to see a movie after work but the only clothes in your car are Wedding Singer costumes and you don’t have shoes (also @shaneisrad took this picture which is why I look a million miles away)
