They could set them up like the break room(s?) at Downtown Disney Anaheim, and the Cast entry points that are outside the Parks at DLR; those have RFID and magnetic strip readers and allow any active DLR Cast Member to enter regardless of where within the resort the Cast Member works. Does WDW have similar access points?

Yes we do. The cast gates to the park have RFID/mag stripe readers and, AFAIK, any active WDW CM can use them no matter their work location.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Oh, good. I thought I was losing my mind.

I mean, I am. But I thought it was going faster.

And, of course, there is nothing wrong with doubly welcoming someone from Monorails.


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?

Truer Words


"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

True. Is there anyone among us here who hasn't, at least once, stopped to think and forgotten to start again???

There have always been many things that drive me crazy. The problem is that the drive keeps getting shorter.

I'm still here! I scan the board every week or so and just now saw this thread.

Last time I went down to The Utilidors was when I was taking pix for the book (you can see them on my website if you don't own a copy). Everything seemed pretty much the same. Nobody asked for an ID or hassled me. Maybe I just don't look suspicious?

Anyway, I have to imagine that stupid guests go down there all the time looking for a bathroom or just roaming around because they don't know any better. The majority of the entrances are unmarked and unlocked.

There are a few more vids from down there on my Youtube Channel if anyone is interested, as well as some recent HD footage of the long-abandoned Image Works. http://www.youtube.com/darksidedisney
