50 Years of Disney Magic: Meet Aunt Elaine
Elaine West Grimes is celebrating more than 50 years of creating unforgettable moments at Walt Disney World. She started back in 1975, when Magic Kingdom was the only park on property. She was here with her family for spring break when she saw Disney was having a job fair. “They were having a job fair, and they went to the park, and I said I'm going to go check this out, and I had an interview and everything, and I got hired, and I didn't go back to New Jersey, I stayed here,” said Grimes. Elaine began at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and made her way to 50’s Prime Time Café in 1998, where she’s proudly known as Aunt Elaine. If you’ve never been, the restaurant inside Hollywood Studios feels like a kitchen straight out of the 1950s, where servers stay in character. “My character is your favorite aunt, and I used to babysit when you were little. You know, don't you remember me? And they say no, and I say, well, you won't forget me when you leave,” said Grimes.
