Here I am in Fantasyland costume. I wore this whenever I worked in Fantasyland attractions.  While in Disney I was greeter at Small World, Peter Pan, and Lion King. Greeters stand at the front of the ride and tell people about wait times, answer questions, and mostly park strollers. You wouldn't believe how many strollers end up at Small World

Here I am in front of Mickey Mouse's house.  I worked here for almost six hours one day.  All I did was tell people that the wait to see Mickey was around 40 minutes and always received the same reaction, "FOURTY MINUTES!!!" and then they would leave. Quite comical actually. Only a few strollers here.

P.S. Click here or on Mickey's house to go inside and see the rooms and garden.

Here is my friend Aliya and I.  I'm in Fastpass costume.  I worked at Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and the Haunted Mansion as a fast pass validation person.  I checked fastpass tickets to make sure the person entering was entering at the correct time. It's fun to be spooky.

And now the coup-de-etat.  I waited all summer to wear this costume and I finally did it the day I flew out. This is the costume from the Haunted Mansion.  I asked a manager if I could put on the costume and take pictures at the ride because there were never any open perm greeter shifts like I picked up in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland.  He said I could as long as I came before the ride opened. Here is the first one with the greatcoat on.  It's a lot less heavy then it looks but it's still majorly hot for Florida weather.

Here I am in the costume without the greatcoat on, only the tailcoat.  it's still not that heavy but very warm for Florida weather.  I had one of the custodians sweeping up the queue take the picture because no one was at the ride at 8:00am.

Another picture of me in my favorite costume.  Obsess much? NEVER!

This is me in my Ops I Tomorrowland costume.  I was working parade that evening so that's why I'm in front of the castle and not in Tomorrowland.

Here again I'm in Ops I.  This time I'm in the Alien Encounter breakroom. While the ride is going on, you can actually feel the walls vibrate and hear the people screaming. COOL!

Here I am in the Alien breakroom with all my Tomorrowland buddies.  Technically we're not supposed to take pictures back stage, but a manager took this one so I don't think it really matters.

Here are some of my coworkers at Planet Hollywood the night we had the going away party for all the people leaving at the end of the summer.  Jeff, all the way on the right in the red shirt, was also leaving.  He's gonna come visit me in Boston. GO JEFF!

Here is another picture. Sebastian, the guy in the background, was also leaving.   Thanks for all the fun guys!

Another one of me and Mickey. I was working at 12:30pm that day and I got to the parks early to play around first.  I found Mickey at the NW Gazebo in front of the castle. I also was in the first car through Splash Mountain that morning.

Here I am the day I worked at Tomorrowland Indy Speedway.  This costume's actually kinda cool plus they give you steel toe boots to wear with it. It's actually not to bad working Speedway as long as you're grouper since you can stand under an umbrella. If you're not grouping, sorry.

Let's just say these are two of my friends, Liz and Jonathan. They both worked in Tomorrowland and both rocked the house.  They were leaving around the same time as me. I'm hoping to find them again someday.  If either of you ever read this page, PLEASE E-MAIL ME!

And here I am in my major role, Vacation Planner.  This is the costume I wore most of the time.  This picture was taken from inside a ticket booth.  I don't know why my eyes are closed. Don't ask.  This costume though it may look light is actually made of extremely heavy material. Thank God the air conditioning worked in MOST of the booths (stress MOST).  Going to parade in this was another story.

Here I am at parade. I did PAC (Parade Audience Control) in front of the castle either for Tomorrowland or Fantasyland.  We were required to still wear the Vacation Planner costume but were allowed to switch to a short sleeve version of it. THANK GOD!  It was still hot as hell with black polyester and wool pants (They claimed it to be cotton. I've never felt cotton like that).  Like my hat? :-)   I also have no idea who's thumb that was. Oh well!
