Ever dream of working for Walt Disney Imagineering? For one of the newest Cast Members arriving in Florida for a graduate internship with Walt Disney Imagineering, this dream came true for herself and her loveable pup, Noodle.
Noodle is an adorable three-year-old yellow lab service dog who will soon be working in Walt Disney Imagineering alongside her human, Jacklyn Krol. Mom took to Twitter to share the news that Noodle is officially the first dog Imagineer to report for work in Florida, and she is excited to get started!
Found out that Noodle is the first dog Imagineer (Imaginoodle) in Florida in history (waiting to confirm if there have been any in CA) and yes she got a 50th anniversary name tag. pic.twitter.com/Cwb2FkEqK4

Noodle, along with any service dog Cast Members accompanying humans at the Walt Disney World Resort are given their own official Disney name tags and even Cast Member IDs. Nametags are given out to new Disney Cast Members during Traditions, a class that every new employee must take before they can start on-the-job training at Walt Disney World.
During traditions, Cast Members are greeted by the “boss” himself, and Noodle especially loved making Mickey’s acquaintance:
The way she looks up at Mickey melts my heart. She was fully asleep and then Mickey came in and she did a couple of stretches and her new boss came over. First time touching a character. pic.twitter.com/pfVFJzrcid

According to Noodle’s Instagram, she loves “naps, snuggles, Law and Order: SVU, couch, snow, beach, and zoomies” and judging from her expressions while meeting Mickey and going through casting, she looks thrilled to be spending some time working at Disney.
As Noodle “said herself,” (and we would have to agree!):
My new job is pretty great. pic.twitter.com/VZM6gqwYlE

Remember that service dogs are working very important jobs, so while it can be exciting to run into pups at Walt Disney World, please be mindful about not petting them. Instead, join us here at Disney Tips in welcoming Noodle and her human to Walt Disney Imagineering, and be sure to follow Noodle’s journey working for Disney on her very own social media accounts.
