  • Disney Cast Members can deal with some incredibly silly things sometimes, and guests who really aren't aware of what's going on. TikTokNews recently published a compilation of several cast members telling their stories, and I had to do a reaction to it. Hold on for a crazy ride...
    you'll find the full original video at • Video
    A behind the scenes look at what a former worker at Disney World, Silver Dollar City, and Busch Gardens Florida experienced in his time working at the parks. From driving large safari trucks around live wild animals while cracking one silly joke after another, to spending 5 years as a #PhotoPass photographer at #WaltDisneyWorld and seeing and experiencing all sorts of things, to being a conductor and #trainrobber on the famous Frisco Silver Dollar Line at #SilverDollarCity. With 10 years of working in the parks, there's lots of stories to tell. Here is some of them...
    Not only did I work in theme parks for 10 years, I've visited a whole lot of them as well. Here's some stories of great visits, not so great visits, favorites, reviews, and much more.

    A couple of notes on the sound quality that you may want to know:
    1. The sound quality on the original video I'm reacting to is of low quality. That is a major factor in the bad sound in those segments. Check out the original video and you'll see what I mean
    2. When you watch and rerecord a video, that sound then gets distorted again a little bit. In a track with good sound quality you may not notice it, but when you start off with iffy sound, it gets amplified when it's getting remixed again.
    3. I actually did do several tweaks to try to improve the sound quality and volume. But you can't always fix everything.
    or the TLDR version: sorry for the not great sound in spots. :-)

    Hi, Sir Willow!
    I worked as a Jungle Cruise Skipper and on the WDW Steam Railroad back in the early 1970s. Two of the dumb questions guests asked back then were:
    1) Why did they build a Temporary Hotel? Where are they going to build the permanent one?
    2) What time is the Two O’Clock parade? (In the 1970’s, the parades were at 2:00 pm.)

    For years, I’ve maintained the belief that a large majority of park guests leave their brains in their cars or at home.
    I’ve never understood why people take off running when the park opens.
    The rides and coasters aren’t going anywhere.
    I “worked” at EPCOT for a brief period in the late 90’s (“worked” is in quotes because I was a relief worker at the IBM exhibit in Innoventions - I went through an abbreviated versions of “Traditions”).
    I had a few interesting situations. All I know is that I could be chirpy for only so long. Bless the folks who do it every day!
    Question for you: were you working at WDW in 2009?
    I visited during on my birthday (part of the free visit on your birthday promo).
    I experienced a situation in EPCOT that I’ve never been able to figure out (and I don’t expect you to disclose any secrets). Thanks!!

      Yup. I worked as a desk clerk in the late 70’s and early 80’s at Shenandoah National Park. Since it’s in a higher elevation the question we always got was, “When’s the fog going away?” We’d always tell them we had no way of knowing and after they’ed left the office say, “When we turn the fog machine off.”

      yeah, it was hard. I made a sticky note about it. The program that I used to record it had a hard time because their sound wasn't good to begin with and rerecording it amplified that. Tried to fix it some but unfortunately there's not really a way to fix it after it's done

      @@SirWillow We are still deciding on that and since the train has to cross the county line; both county has to work together. Orange county prefer travelers to use private transportation like taxi, uber and car rental because they will generate more tax revenue. L.A. county wants the extension to the A line from Downtown L.A. instead of the C Line from LAX. It will help the taxpayer instead of taking out-of-town-travelers from LAX to different county to spend their money. The A line going from Downtown L.A. to Anaheim will relief the highly congested highway 5 as well as helping LA resident get to Disneyland. Basically Disney wants to connect from LAX but L.A. want to connect from DTLA and O.C. wants to leave it as it is.
