People probably think working at Disney World is so magical. And the place itself really is. It's what goes on behind the scenes that sort of ruins the magic.
It's kind of got this Kings and their slaves dynamic going on, with rude managers who mostly do not even bother to get to know the names of their cast members. A guy in the break room yesterday joked that the word Disney comes from the Latin to mean "indentured servitude". I don't know if that's true, but it sounds right.
I work at Pirates of the Caribbean, one of the classics. But I never knew how much working in attractions would open my eyes to human stupidity.
(Imagine with motions)
"You're in rows 2 and 3"
"No, 2 and 3"
"Not 4 and 5"
"Ma'am you're in that row"
..."Huh?"
All. The. Time. There's other little treasures too. Other than that, every day is the same. The only thing keeping me here is the health insurance, because the pay sure isn't magical. Hopefully I can find a way to make my own magic from it.
Promise I will post soon, but I'll be out playing pirates for the day, just like every day.
