THANK YOU CHEF OSCAR!

Chef Oscar Martinez retired today, September 27. Oscar first began his Disneyland career on Dec. 29, 1956—that's 61 years! At 81, he is the oldest and one of the most beloved Cast Members at the Disneyland Resort! We are going to miss seeing him on Main Street U.S.A.

HERE'S A NOTE FROM OSCAR'S FACEBOOK PAGE:

"It is with greatest honor, to announce I will be retiring from Disneyland Wednesday, September 27th. It has been a great journey these 60 1/2 years. But it has come to an end. May everyone follow there dreams as how I have followed mine. Best wishes for all my Friends Cast Members at the Happiest place on earth." —Oscar Martinez

Oscar Martinez, the longest-tenured cast member at the Disneyland Resort, recently celebrated his 60th year working at the resort - the last 50 of them working at the café on Main Street, U.S.A. Originally, Oscar worked in Fantasyland quick-service locations, and over the years, trained many new cast members, including grill cooks from Tokyo Disneyland.
