(NOTE: This interview occurred moments after the ceremony in which Quinn & Danielle
were named the 2009 Disneyland Ambassadors.)

Scott Wolf: Congratulations! What's going through your head right now?

Danielle DuBois: I'm so absolutely surprised and stunned. This is amazing! Unbelievable!

Quinn Shurian: Yeah. Ditto.

DD: I can't think of any other words to describe it. Unbelievable. Amazing.

What was your night like last night?

DD: I had trouble getting to sleep, but once I went to sleep I just dreamt about ice cream. I thought would dream about this but I was fine.

QS: I was up this morning at three. Couldn't get back to sleep. It's just amazing.

What happens next? Do you go back to your job tomorrow?

DD: We don't really know yet. We start on Sunday as far as I know.

QS: Yeah, it's fantastic.

Where were you both working up until today?

DD: Before today I was with Photo Imaging which is why there's so many photographers around.

What is Photo Imaging?

DD: PhotoPass. (The people who take photos of you in the park that you may purchase.) All of the photographers in the park. I've been working with them for two years.

Quinn, the first time I met you, you were working The Disney Store in the '90s, right?

QS: Yes, '91. I've been here at the resort for almost fifteen years and currently I'm in Cast Communications so I write for our internal newspaper and I'm also an Adventure Guide for Adventures By Disney, which is fantastic, I love it.

Danielle, when did you start with Disney?

DD: I started two years ago, I just had my two year anniversary a couple weeks ago which is why it's so amazing to me.

Do you have any favorite parts of going through the process to become Ambassador?

DD: I'd have to say the interviews were pretty fun. It was always really nice to meet the people, all of our leaders around the resort, so I had a great time in the interviews even though they were stressful.

QS: For me it's interacting with the other finalists. It really gives you an opportunity to know who's going to represent Cast Members, whether it's you or not and you make brand new friends that you're going to have for years to come.

Congratulations to you both!
