TJ from Tower of Terror now at Galaxy's Edge

[wdwmagic]

The master Bellhop from the Hollywood Tower Hotel is now at Galaxy's Edge.

TJ was last seen at Smugglers Run. Hope he makes it back to Tower - he was/is a great asset to Tower that really brought the story to life.

Can't think of why they would move him there..He worked better in TOT even being in promo ads as well.

 

[Master Yoda]

Is it possible that he requested the move?

He did. Open team of the new land.

He did. Open team of the new land.

Makes sense to go where the visibility to management is the highest.

Then consider me "on board" with the move.

Given what he did for ToT, I really look forward to what he does at SW:GE.

Pretty sure he opened MGMs Star Tours and then obviously ToT.

Yes, he’s perfect for the HTH. He IS part of the HTH. Here’s hoping he’ll be back.

A great example of a CM who enjoys his job, enhances his role to further the pleasure of the guests. Always tried to get a photo of him with us at ToT every trip. Looking forward to watch how he transforms into the new character role.

For some reason, for me this puts a little heart back in to Disney.

In a interview he was in, he said that he would be a part of Galaxy's Edge and ToT at the same time, of course now I can't find that video anymore but I will post it here when I can find it again.

A good cast member needs to be like a good referre or umpire or other sports official, they do the job the way it was meant to be without trying to draw attention to themselves. i don't care what your name is or want to know your name. just do your job for that particular attraction. dont be like that manard guy in disneyland who over does it.

TJ and Maynard are not alike. TJ plays his role as a bellhop at the Hollywood Tower Hotel, he just plays it extremely well. Maynard cracks jokes and does bits that have nothing to do with the Tiki Room or whatever attraction he is hosting.

To be fair, TJ was amazing regardless of where they put him. He was a trainer in MK West ops long before the studios. His Jungle Cruise was dry and exquisite. But, predictably, his HM was outstanding.

Besides... after he let that elevator full of people ride while standing, I'm sure the insurance company had something to say about it...

I saw this CM pushing a luggage cart from ToT. Was this TJ?

 

[Lilofan]

TJ is amazing. My family and I really enjoyed him playing the part at Tower!

 

[Chef Mickey]

I’ve had the pleasure of TJ being my host on ToT many times. Simply one of if not the best.

It's not. The TOT cast will use the luggage cart for photo ops, particularly when the ride is on an extended downtime.

That IS the luggage cart, but how can we know if it's him or not since we can't see their face?

I remember the first time I recognized TJ from a Travel Channel special, over a decade ago. He was by the FP machines. I was so excited but too embarrassed to say anything. My mother went up to him and said, “My daughter is so excited; she recognized you from the Travel Channel.” He was SO sweet and broke character to thank both of us, breaking out in a huge grin. What a sweetheart!
