I just saw Oscar the other day as i was eating at the Carnation Cafe. If your a diehard Disneyland fan you know who he is! Talk about the nicest guy and he is still going strong, good for him

Okay. I'll bite. Who's Oscar?

Oscar is this little old hispanic chef that works at the Carnation Cafe on Main Street. It seems like he is there everyday. He walks around and asks how you doing and how the food is. He is Disneyland's longest working Cast Member. He started working there a year or so after the park opened and he is still working to this day! For Disneyland's 50th the company sent him and his family on a Disney Cruise

Very cool!

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! OSCAR RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I have a picture of him around here somewhere. He really is the nicest guy, and funny too, he plays around with the kids. I make it a point to go there everyday and say hi for the entire trip. He always remembers me because he sees me so many times now. Last year I asked a Guest services about writing a letter of praise. They don't have an easy form for that, but they have plenty for complaints. How messed up is that?

Is Carnation Cafe the one sorta in the middle of Main Street? If so, then I think I might have met his acquaintance. I had no idea he's Disneyland's longest working CM. Wow...

Yeah the Carnation is right next to the store that makes those really sweet custom watches. If you have ever eatin there then you have probably seen him. Here is a picture of the man himself

Yeah, I found out that Tom Ravenscroft quit recently, he was working in attractions since the park opened. I guess Oscar is the new, oldest, CM.

I never heard of Tom Ravenscroft? He was just always working in attractions? Anyone know about Ron Miller the piano player on Main Street? He has been working there for a long time as well i believe

I'd like to remind everybody, when at a park and a CM does something nice, take the time anf stop by to write out a happy gram. These people go above and beyond because they love Disney!! Not because they love what the company has done for them. I know some long term CM's and believe me the management is always looking for a reason to get on them. Please if a CM does something nice (and they do!!). Remember who they are and give them a good report. If nothing else, it will make their day!!

I'm picking this up from the second, newer Carnation Cafe thread:

Dr. Ravenscroft wrote: I think I have a picture of the Menu somewhere on my computer. I will find it and add it to this post later. I have had everything on the newest menu at least twice. Personally I love it all, the Smoked Turkey sandwich is my favorite, followed by the Croissant Chicken Club.

That happens to be exactly what my wife and I had when we went! Both of our dishes were great, and the sides were wonderful too.

We met Oscar at the 50th clebration. got a picture with all the kids He is such a great guy. Im glad he is still working

I am hoping to get to DL in June (2008). If he isn't retiring maybe he will be there and I can look for him.

ah! my hubby and i went to dl in 2006 and ate at the carnation cafe...i didn't know who oscar was! now i'm bummed that we didn't keep an eye out...

Just ask next time. Oscar is usually happy to come out and say hi.
