Hello from a new poster and a question for CMs!

Post by bamfer23 » Wed Feb 11, 2009 3:48 pm

Howdy folks! Figured I'd introduce myself.

My name is Jeff, and I'm from NJ. No, I'm not an employee, just a guest, but someone who has a lot of respect for people who work the parks.

I across came across this site because Zazu referred it to me, so I thought I would check it out. I literally spent the last hour (when I SHOULD have been working!) checking out a bunch of stories. Great stuff, guys! I can't honestly say I'm surprised by some of the stupidity of the guests, though!

In any event, I got hooked up with Zazu because I'm in the midst of writing a “Behind The Scenes” type book about Walt Disney World, told through the eyes of employees of the Mouse. I need more insider tales, so I find him through an interview he did a few years back.

After reading a bunch of stories here, and after Zazu said some people here might be open to it, I decided I might as well ask if any Cast Members of WDW would be interested in answering a few questions about their experiences?

I'm looking for all kinds of employees of Walt Disney World, no matter what your job was. Whether you flipped burgers at Disney Hollywood Studios, ran an attraction at The Magic Kingdom, or even cleaned up after hours, I want to hear from you!

I’m mostly looking for anecdotal stories about your job (good and bad), any funny or fond memories, and even run-in’s with guests (which, obviously, I'm sure there is quite a lot of here!).

If you’re interested, please contact me for more information either here or at jeff @ bamferproductions . com, as I’d love to hear from more people!

Thanks a lot guys! And now I'm off to waste more time reading your stories! :)

Thanks!

Welcome, I am sure that you will enjoy the stories you read and that people would be more than willing to provide stories and insights.

The marsupial welcoming committee should be lurking about somewhere and be here shortly to welcome you properly.

If it is research you can write off your network connection.

Lurking? Lurking?? Marsupials do not lurk. We may stand off at a distance, or occasionally burrow, but we do not lurk.

WOAH! Don't sneak up on me like that, scared me half to death, and you say marsupials don't lurk, that seemed an awful lot like lurking to me.

All new pastors need to write about about the evil things people do at Disney parks, I thought everybody knew that.

Maybe it's because going to the parks is a religious experience for some people.

Disneyland can be a very wicked and sinful place. My brethren gather around and here of hoochie mommas in short shorts that show their rump for all to see while writhing to the wild rock and roll beat of the satanic devil music in Tomorrowland. See the Flash Mountain hussies showing off their anatomy. Come and here about the MILF and of wild sex behind the scenes of DLR. Does anyone remember when the hippies came to the park and ate off of left overs?

Disneyland my bretheren has had a murder, assaults, batteries, deaths, heathens, sinners, perverts, lusters, thieves, sex, and every sin known to man. It is more wicked than Las Vegas, Sodom, and Gammorah combined.

Donations may be made out to the Churchy Fund. giggles and please do not let my pastor hear me preaching, lol. :D:

What's a lurk?

No, we're actually quite bombastic... but in the most friendly of ways.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

That might explain the naked riders in the monorail party car.
