Thank You For Your Continued Support
A Busy Couple of Weeks
It has been a busy couple of weeks since I posted an update on the site so I thought I’d tell you what is happening.
The site is still attracting a lot of attention, the articles we have started to post are getting a lot of traffic – if you’d like to contribute a submission let me know.
People Hate Disney?
Tue, 03/24/2009 - 08:21 — Mr Mouse Admini...What is it in the much loved Disney name that poeple can hate so much?
Hate – Verb; to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry.
Hate is a strong word with a powerful meaning, so why do so many people hate Disney? I loved my time with the Mouse. Okay, like some parents of young children I do have issues with Disney’s commercialism, my son loves a trip around the Disney Store, my wallet is perhaps not as keen - but on the whole I don’t think of Disney as the Evil empire. Which is possibly the reason I find so much of the research I did for this post so fascinating.
Support A Fellow Cast Member Programme.
I think on days like today when our pocket books spend a little more time in our pockets and purses than in our hands we should do what came naturally to us before – look to our fellow Cast Members for help.
So I am launching a new service. I am offering After the Mouse members the opportunity to publicize their business on this website for FREE!*
Dear All – Hate Mail.
I am not going to glorify the writer of the email I received this week by reprinting their message here, but I thought I should tell you about the contents.
Paris to Orlando
Wed, 03/11/2009 - 07:44 — Mr Mouse Admini...Waht is it like to be a Disney Cast Member who moves from Disneyland Paris to Walt Disney World?
After the Mouse member Kay Mitchell has submitted this, our first true contribution to the site. Like Myself Kay had worked in the early days of EuroDisney but Kay then went on to work at Walt Disney World. This is her account of here experiences in Florida.
Cast Member Stories
A while ago I invited you to publish your Disney Stories here on the site, your Pixie Dust moments and your fondest memories. I have had a couple of people writing to me so far and we are working together to bring their stories to you. To get the ball rolling I have contributed a few posts of my own to seed the ground and give you an idea or two. I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to contribute an article yourself.
The Best Job in Disneyland Barr None
Tue, 03/10/2009 - 11:12 — Mr Mouse Admini...Driving Walt Disney's Steam Trains at Disneyland Paris
There are a couple of generations of English boys who grew up wanting to be Engine drivers. I think it had a lot to do with Dr Beaching’s decimation of British Rail in the 1960’s. My father for one remembers the last days of main line steam engines, and always had a hankering to drive one. I on the other hand never saw a live steam train on the rails until I went to work for Disney.
Cast Member On Tour.
Sun, 03/08/2009 - 20:55 — Tim JenningsWho are the Disney Cast Members seen with VIP Guests?
Possibly one of the most demanding and high profile of jobs in the theme parks is that of the VIP Hosts. If your the Cast Member taking a sporting hero or a film star around the Magic Kingdom then in the eyes of the world you must be a step apart.
