If you could be a Disney character....

[Zazu]

...who would you be, and why? Or what Disney character is most like you?

Now those are two very different questions. Let me think.

I guess if I could be *any* Disney character, I'd just as soon be Walt himself (why stop with Mickey?). Of course, it wouldn't be as much fun tossing Bob out of his job as it would have been tossing Michael. And I'd have thrown Michael a whole lot farther!

I once dreamed that the Waltsicle had been thawed out, and I had been assigned to bring him up to date on events since 1967. Part fantasy, part nightmare... "You turned my EPCOT into *what*!?!" Interesting, in any event.

Overall, given my teaching background, I'm probably best suited to be Jiminy Cricket. He's done a lot of work in education and recycling, and a live singing cricket could probably do a lot of good in both fields.


I have been compared to Pete, especially by those who have seen the cartoon "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip" (1940) where Pete plays a railroad conductor. Still not sure if that was a compliment or not. It was part of my incentive for going on a diet this year.

I've also been compared to Rufus the cat. (I'll leave his provenance as an exercise for the student). I'm pretty sure that was a compliment.

But I'm probably most like Alexander from the film "Milk" (working title). Don't look it up, it's not been released yet. Still in development, actually.

If you could make all your vegetables taste like chocolate, wouldn't you?

Ok smarty beak, if you could make the veggies taste like chocolate then why not make them no fat and low calorie. I would think they could say "Bibbidy Bobbidy Boobs" and have the proper shaped and sized boobs.

I want to be magical so I can help sick animals and people. Cure cancer in people and animals with my magic. Best of all is getting rid of the lice in birds and cure them of molting, woot.

So if they are magical why are they so fat or is Tinkerbell the only smart fairy?

I remember a Sociology class I took around 1980 that had a unit on the original concept of EPCOT, with some serious reading on the implications. It's a shame it got homoginized into what it is today...and it's a far cry from Irvine and other "master planned" cities.

Damn, this one is tough. A few of my choices would be the redhead from Pirates or Madame Leota from Mansion. Or the Bride in the attic. (the original one ) But my favorite would have to be Alice. I loved that book growing up and she has always been a dream for me to dress up as for Halloween. I know Lewis Carroll brought her to life first but she's wonderful.

You totally should, but you should make it dark by going "American McGee's Alice" stylee...blood splattered aprons are hot!

Yeah, but then they started using the "planned city" concept for Celebration. In theory at least, it's probably closer to what Walt envisioned as EPCOT then what EPCOT park is.

But then there's also a good reason for that. If they had built a major residential community within WDW, then they would have had to worry about voter rights, jurisdictions, government, and a host of other issues that would have drastically altered how they operate and run the land and planning of the parks.
