Bryan Tabler
Business Programs Associate Facilitator

Professional Experience

After a decade operating a multimedia business, Bryan began his Walt Disney World® Resort career in 1997 as a photographer for Disney Event Group’s Multimedia Services team.

Bryan’s advocacy for the disability community, and his passion and support for Disney’s diversity initiatives, led him to one of his greatest accomplishments: he founded the Cast resource group CastABLE—an acronym for Cast, Appreciating, Supporting, Teaching,
Ability, Better Living and Equality.

In 2003, Bryan was chosen to participate in a pilot for Disney Entertainment’s Leadership Excellence program. While he gained experience as an Entertainment manager, Bryan evaluated and provided feedback on this new development program. During this time, he also facilitated experiential programs for the Walt Disney World® Resort Youth Education Series.

In January of 2005, Bryan was selected to join the Disney Institute team where he facilitates youth programs, leads Disney Adult Discovery programs, and presents Professional Development Programs to business groups.

Bryan has participated in both the USA Paralympic Sitting Volleyball program and the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, where he serves as the commissioner for the Florida Wheelchair Basketball Conference. Recently, Bryan was asked to join Team Paradise in
Southern Florida, a group of sailing aficionados with disabilities who are training for the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, China.

Education

Bryan received his bachelor’s degree in media/communication from Brooks Institute, in Santa Barbara, CA.
