In the year that he had worked there, he was given two promotions and the prestigious Quarterly Award for his outstanding attitude and performance. He was told by supervisors that his quick rise was unprecedented. With Tyler’s love of Disney, his work ethic, and his intelligence and creativity, we know Tyler would have done amazing things! The supervisor of Festivals at Epcot, reached out to the family and wrote, “Tyler was Disney through and through. He was a spark at Disney, and was on what would have been a great journey here.” Tyler is dearly loved by his mom and step dad, Kathy and Randy Elrod, and his dad and step mom Jim and Tania Cable.
