Disneyland Secret #519

As we all know each cast member is identified by the name tag they wear. For the most part there are only three roles that do not wear their name tags on the left hand side.

Security does not wear them on the left. Their badges are on the left hand side.

Bus drivers wear their name tags on the right hand side so that it is easier for riders to see them.

The only attraction whose name tags were on the right hand side, is an attraction no longer at Disneyland and that’s Hollywood Tower of Terror. The Hollywood tower of terror symbol is on the left hand side of the bell hops uniform.
