I don't deal with heat well (strike two). I don't deal with intentional idiots well, like some of the more pushy SGs reported around here, and would not be able to hold back for very long (strike three). And to make sure to kill hope of CM dreams, I have very strong ties to Champaign, and would find it very disorienting to live anywhere else. I love traveling and love visiting many places (I had my first birthday in Yellowstone and have visited every state in the union except Alaska and Hawaii. Maybe someday). But a move to Fla just isn't in the cards for me. But if the insanity around here continues I may just hang around until I can retire with minimum benefits (3 years) and then become a snowbird. Then I could shave (shudder) and work half the year.

Well, I know what you mean. I have had a mustache since the 70's and I would not look like any of my I.D.'s if I shaved it off!

Actually, backstage roles have to abide by Disneylook as well unless there is a religious restriction. My friends in costuming were told this is because it would be unfair to the other cast members who do have to abide by the Disneylook, and you never know when you may have to go into a guest area.

Don't try to get access control to give you an ID if you don't have the "Disney Look"

The badge nazi would not replace mine a while ago because my hair was a little long!

Tell that to the Aramark people. I've seen a bunch of them not abiding by the Disney Look. Then again they are operating participants (if even that) and never go onstage.


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.

[font="Tahoma"]Speaking of Epcot Power Outages...my friend once told me a story of her time at Epcot. Apparently her brother (she was about 5 and he was 10 at the time) had to go to the restroom. For some reason, he ended up peeing in flower bed which had a camera in it. The next day some kind of power outage occured and the family blamed it on the brother. Not sure if that would be possible , but it's still a funny story any how. :) [/font]

Good story! Bet he never did it again.

What part of Virginia are you from? I have friends out in Virginia Beach. :)

Virginia is a pretty place to live.
