From Mickey’s magic tricks to Elsa talking about building a snow man, character interactions at Disney World are already pretty great. However, every now and then, a performer will be so perfectly cast in their role and completely embody their character that it’s worth pointing out. This post is about one of those cast members: a man with a singular commitment to the role of Gaston. Two pretty hilarious videos have been spreading online featuring Gaston having some pretty unique interactions with a couple of guests.
The first video finds Gaston incredulous that a little girl named Isabella’s favorite character is the Beast. Despite his blustering, Isabella promptly puts Gaston in his place. You go, Isabella.
So, bravo to you, Gaston. You are the Olivier of Fantasyland.
If you’d like to meet with Gaston during your visit to Disney World, he can usually be found outside of Gaston’s Tavern. You’ll probably catch him admiring his own statue.
