I interned at a Disney property for six months last year, and have since found that most people are very curious about what it was like. Any rumors about Disney you want to confirm? Want any behind the scenes info? Anything you’re interested in, I’ll do my best to answer.
Is it all about cashing in on demographics or what
To an extent, yeah. Disney’s brilliant working all the angles. Of course, the parks are mostly for kids, but the hotels have ritzy bars and gourmet dining, EPCOT is all about multiculturalism, and Animal Kingdom is for the hippies, etc. In short, if you can imagine a demo., Disney tries to accomodate them to secure their business. I have yet to see Anarchy Day though, so my needs go unfulfilled.
Of course, they never spell it out like that at any point during training or after. It’s just something you kind of infer. I could never tell if it was just a business thing, or that someone really did care enough to make fucking swimming pools handicap-friendly. Because for every lazy, grubby manager, there are a few that genuinely do care about helping people and “making magic”. By no means all of them, but some.
Is it okay for you to possibly cast a former employer in a potentially harsh light?
I know that I don’t mention my former employers by name, even though I worked for companies that are household names.
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
Did you ever have to dress up as Mickey Mouse and touch children as it’s ok for Mickey Mouse to do it.
Is it true that they put drugs on all the beverages and food you eat there to force you to come back for more?
Did you ever meet any of the Pixar team? B)
Whoa, okay. Let’s get down to business.
Well, I don’t really plan on casting them in a harsh light. Diney runs a clean ship, and I enjoyed my experience working there for the most part. My only problems were with specific people, (who I’m not going to be a dick and name), and certain company policies regarding pay.
That said, I feel like Black Mesa forums fall a bit out of the realm of standard social networking, so I feel like I wouldn’t need to worry about it anyway. I’ll try to present just the facts unless anyone wants my opinion on something.
Haha, no actually. My “role” while working for the rat was a costumer. So I put the people in the costume, and did the resulting laundry. Besides, I’m way too tall for mouse height. The max you can be is 4’ 9", so it’s generally always a girl in there. There was only one really short guy that I know of that was a mouse.
Yes, just the smallest amount of crystal meth on your fries brings you crawling back for more.
Actually, no. But Disney does have some good strategies to keep you spending. For example, almost every food and beverage cart sells popcorn and pretzels, which make you really thirsty in that ultra muggy, hot Orlando day. That, in turn, makes you buy more drinks. They also sell these chilled squirt bottles with little battery powered fans that they parade around in front of you on pushcarts at midday when it’s hottest. PROTIP: If you want to cool off, there’s at least one place in every park where you can stand under a mist machine in the shade for free.
Define team. I did meet a lady from Pixar, but she didn’t really work on any of the movies or anything. It was at a costuming networking event, where we got to be the first to see the new Lotso costume. She was there to introduce it. I think she was like some sort of marketing type, or something. Sidenote: The costume doesn’t smell like strawberries. I raged. He’s still quite soft, though.
Is it true that disney hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance?
im seriously confused as to why you think youre funny ever, piefish
I was being deadly serious 
Android hell is where you will be sent because it’s for people who forget where the quote was from.
about how often do the actors in the costumes get attacked by adults?
Random off-topic question: I know your profile says Suffolk but I’m convinced I saw you in a club in Birmingham on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Don’t suppose you were visiting mates or something?
…What…on earth…are they thinking by introducing a gigantic generosity-exploiting mass-murdering sociopathic bear to their parks? Do kids like fear and uneasiness?
Tiki, not all Lots-o-huggin’ Bears are that way. 
How big is their genetic lab, where they build genetically perfect young stars like Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers?
you don’t need a genetic lab if you have billions of willing subjects to choose from
I don’t suppose we want to know that
