My Time At Disney... WMML Post #7!

*Note: So sorry for the quality and shortness of these videos. I tried and tried to upload longer/ better versions and nothing was working. So this is the best I could do...*

If you didn't know, I worked at Disney right out of high school. It was a BIG dream of mine to go and work for their "entertainment" department for yeeeeaaaarrsss. I've been thinking a lot about Disney and how I miss it lately (one of my favorite things is- and don't laugh too hard, watching the full house episode where the go to Disney World).
So anyways, as I was thinking about it, I thought about this video (unfortunately its the ONLY video I have of my time there. My parents took it when they came to visit me, so I'm lucky to have it), I always laugh when I think of it. This is a clip from the Castle Show Dream Along With Mickey. I was VERY luck to be able to "help" Donald and Minnie out in the Opening Cast of this show (In this particular video I was "helping" Donald).

What's funny about it (if picturing me "helping" Donald isn't funny enough for you) is about half way through it, Donald takes a good hit in the face from Mickey. If you listen closely you can even hear it! But, like a good little duck he gets right back to the show... even though it hurt a little... and Mickey didn't even notice...


I had a few funny things happen while "helping" out with this show. In one performance as the cast is tossing around a giant clock, Donald (who had been having a rough day) couldn't seem to catch it. He got so mad that he ended up kicking the clock across the stage... LUCKILY the rest of the cast was laughing super hard and he didn't get in trouble from any of the managers or anything...

Another day it had been raining. The stage floor is made of some sort of fake rock that's sort of squishy and it gets really slippery when it rains. As Donald was running to the stairs he fell into a perfect split.

I have a million stories and could show you the entire 20 minute video, but I really don't want to find out how long that would take to upload (this one's taking long enough), and I'm sure you are all "story time"'d out. I hope you got a good laugh out of it. :) Questions are welcome. hahaha!

And for your viewing pleasure, another short video of Donald and the cast dancing...
