A Tribute to the Magic


Here's a tribute to the magic that cast members make every day. A fellow cast member from Splash Mountain was once doing a little guest interaction while the attraction was experiencing some downtime. A small child ran up to him and asked, "What's wrong with the ride?"

"You know that big snoring bear that you hear when you're up in the mountain?" the cast member started. "Well, he woke up and was very hungry, so he came down to the churro cart here for a churro. Except the cart was all out of churros, so he had to go all the way to Main Street to get one, and we can't start the ride again until he comes back."

The child nodded in understanding and walked away, at which point the father walked up to the cast member and said, "Okay, c'mon now, what really happened?"

"You know that big snoring bear..."

Just goes to show that it is not just the surroundings, but the cast members that really make Disneyland special!

Did you see on mice age a link to the OC Register that had a "tour" of Walt Disneys apartment above Main Street?

Saw the link, but didn't click on it. I think I was in a hurry to shower.
