This Quarter's Super Stars
Above and Beyond
Cory Freed
Mechanic
Cory was working with the paving crew in the parking lot at Disney’s Epcot Park when he saw a car stranded in the parking lot. He then used his work-truck to jump the car and give a family one last bit of Disney magic by getting their car functioning again before their departure.
Make It Happen
David McCurdy
Maintenance Field Tech
CYD’s Orlando terminal needed extensive repairs. Rather than shutting down operations the entire week, David worked on a Sunday while the rail terminal was closed. His dedication to efficiency and quality work resulted in having the Orlando terminal shut down for just one work-day.
Honored To Help
James Wagner
Sales Analyst
James was going towards a convenience store during his work-break when he noticed a woman slumped over the steering wheel in her car. James took a quick action and pulled the woman out of the car and began CPR until the ambulance arrived on the scene. Without James’ quick action the situation would have ended differently.
