Many Disney fans love the voices behind their favorite characters in films or Disney attractions almost as much as they love the attractions themselves. And sometimes, celebrity Guests have been known to treat their fans to a very special Disney Parks surprise!

For example, Josh Gad, who provides the voice of Olaf in Frozen and Frozen II, has been known to surprise Guests. Who can forget when he popped into the Frozen Singalong to reprise his role?

And, he also once took over as a skipper on The Jungle Cruise in Disneyland. You can read all about it and see the hilarious video right here!

Now another special guest has stepped in to narrate an attraction! If you have ever taken a flight on Soarin’ Around the World in Walt Disney World or Soarin’ Over California in Disneyland, then you know him well!

Patrick Warburton made a surprise in-person appearance as Chief Flight Attendant at Soarin’ Over California in Disneyland! It was a huge surprise for Guests who were expecting to enjoy the regularly scheduled pre-show filled with flight and safety information.

Typically Guests watch Patrick deliver this information on a pre-show screen. Imagine the surprise when Patrick Warburton himself stepped into the preshow area to speak to Guests live and in person! The reaction was priceless.
