The global health crisis put a LOT on hold in Disney and beyond.

At the beginning of the situation last year, Disney had to suspend its Cultural Representative Program. And transferred Cast Members are filling many of the roles typically held but Cultural Representatives in World Showcase. This program typically brings in individuals from around the world to work as Cast Members. Now, it seems some cultural representatives may return to the park this year.

We noticed on the Patina Restaurant Group website that they are now hiring certain positions for the Cultural Representative Program. Patina owns several Disney World restaurants including the upcoming Space 220 and many of the dining locations in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion.

Currently, Patina is accepting applications from those of Italian nationality who are looking to take place in the Cultural Representative Program for EPCOT’s Italy. Once this program returns, we should see the return of many International Cast Members to the World Showcase.

Patina has the following positions available for those of Italian nationality: Kiosk Host or Hostess, Restaurant Host or Hostess, Restaurant Server, and Culinary.

Now, just because they are hiring does not mean that the Cultural Representative Program has a set return date. The hiring notice says, “Our next selection will be held depending on the evolution of the sanitary situation. We will recruit for departures starting from 2021.”
