Considering he doesn't even know when the end of the 50th Celebration is when EVERY other Cast Member knows, I am still doubting if he even works there or just knows someone who does.

His spelling and puncuation leaves something to be desired as well.

I told this to some of my zoo crew friends and they were rolling on the floor laughing. They all said he's a kid who couldn't POSSIBLY have worked for Disney. lol.

If you actually work in Spectro & drive the Mickey float I would know you (this irks me the most)... Besides there is no way you could be doing all these jobs (tech, character, etc)... How tall are you really? You obviously don't even know how tall Mickey is... Actually this is a pointless conversation! Get your facts straight & then try to pretend to be somebody you're not...

I did not say that I operate stage lighting for Tarzan. What I said was I am going to be working as Asst. Lighitng Designer for the new show that is to replace Tarzan. Ok fine do you want the truth. Here it is. I do not play Mickey nor did I ever. Some of the facts that I have said about the costumes are true and others are not. For instance. Costumes do not have cooling units. But some of the characters do put battery operated fans into their suits to keep cool. The only head that ever weighed 70lbs was back in 1985 when they explored making face expressions in the heads of the costumes to make them look more life-like with animatronics, but was a failure due to back strain on the CM inside. That is the truth to my madnees on this board. Everything else is true. (and by the way I am 6'3") There is only one other thing that is untrue about me. I used to be a float driver about 3 years ago, before I was hired as a Lighting Designer/Lighitng Technician, and Asst. Head of Lighting Crews, until I had an injury inside of the float where i sliced open my arm on a piece of metal support stucture on the float. I had to get 23 stitches in my arm and was off work for 2 weeks. Disney said that an injury this size on one of there pieces of property was not a good thing. This meant that they were afraid of a lawsuit by me accusing the injury to be there fault because the support bar was not smoothed enough to be safe to tuch or bump into. So they decided to ask me to quit the job with pay for the 2 weeks I was off and an extra 2 weeks pay for hospital costs on top of the week of the injury's pay. I said sure no problem and said the whole mess was my fault because I was uncomfortable and decided to move to get comfortable and slid my arm down the bar duing so. Disney then told me "driving a float in a Disney park is not supposed to be comfortable. We dont want the spectators to think we have drivers in a small float that are more comfortable than a person driving a roomy car is". So I did drive a float, but at the time that was my only job at Disney. I inly drived a float for 2 years and that was the best 2 years I of my life (so far)

The fact that you put this in quotation marks as though it's a word for word quote makes it even more ridiculous. You've lied about most everything you've posted, if not everything. Don't be surprised if no one takes you at your word around here. There are plenty of people who do know what they're talking about as many of us are either current or former Cast Members. Here's a word to the wise if you think about making up more stories. There are too many of us on here that can verify them, so don't be surprised when people call you on your lies.
