Please explain the attraction of Disney theme parks?

It seems to be very much a primarily US culture thing.

Why are people who work there all called 'cast members' like they're agreeing as part of their employment contracts to be 'extras' in a Disney movie?

When we were there we noted how deeply all the staff bought into the culture of the place. Almost overly nice...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I've read that the 'cast members' get trained in being 'nice' almost to the point of being Overly Attached Girlfriend 'nice', so that could be a thing.
