Remember, it all started with a mouse!
Those of us who worked for Disney, especially its Theme Parks, Resorts and Disney Stores, have long been asking one question whenever Cast Member get together, "You remember the kid who worked with us that summer? I wonder what happened to them...?"
Since July 17th 1955 when Walt Disney opened his first Theme Park in Anaheim, the magic that started with that Mouse has been kept alive by generations of Cast Members.
This site is a community for those same Cast Members to get together and find old friends once more and maybe make new ones.
Good Night Miramax, Turn Out The Lights.

Today marks the end on Miramax Films, the ‘Indi’ art house production company purchased by Disney in 1993. After 17 years Disney has closed the doors, it was apparently not profitable enough… I for one though will miss the sometimes quirky films they made.

I have started re-reading my collection of Disney books and as you may have noticed I have added a few new books to the spinning Amazon.com book store on most pages on the site. Can you recommend any good books for the collection and perhaps a review?
Soon On After the Mouse.com

Dear all in the near future there are going to be a few subtle changes to the site, and perhaps one or two not so subtle.
Over the last year or so the community has grown in numbers and in presence on the internet. Also during this time I have learned a lot about you, the users and about the needs of the community – now it is time to take those lessons and built upon them.
At first most of the modifications will be under the hood so to speak, streamlining and security tweaks. Then as time goes on we’ll be giving the site a facelift and a good spring clean – all spic and span!

Christmas for Cast members
Fri, 12/11/2009 - 19:44 — Mr Mouse Admini...For me Working Christmas morning at Disneyland Paris was always special. It was a time for the giving and receiving of gifts, making Disney dreams come true, natural disasters and being suspected of terrorism.

Disneyland Paris - A short history - part 3
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 20:29 — Mr Mouse Admini...In the third part of my story of Disneyland Paris we bring the story up to the time I left the resort.
The first signs of the new development were a Planet Hollywood restaurant and a multiplex, Gaumont Cinema, were added to the Festival Disney entertainment complex located next to the Magic Kingdom. At the same time, a couple of miles down the road, closer to Paris and near the town of Serris, groundbreaking for the ambitious Val d’Europe project started. Disney worked with the town to build what would one day become a huge shopping mall, outlet shopping village, thousands of new housing units, and two partner hotels. These additions were built on the edges of the property. Years after the plans were laid, the property goals were coming through.
