These are 4 of the 5 roommates I lived with while returning to Disney this season.
(R-L)Alan (Attractions-Disney/MGM), Trent (ODF-Pleasure Island), Ted (ODF-Pleasure Island),
Kevin (Custodial-E.P.C.O.T./American Adventure), Jason Kaczorowski (Custodial-Disney/MGM).

Here's a funny story about what happened to my roommates that I lived with this x-mas...
I moved into Vista Way apartment 3804 on December 14th, 1998 and discovered what an absolute
disaster it was. From the picture above you can notice the large hole in the wall to the right
of where I am standing. Add this hole to the five or six other holes like it and take into
account a broken chair, a overflowing toilet, trash everywhere, an overflowing sink of dishes
and an odor that would make Walt turn over in his grave...perhaps now you can see what I had
gotten myself into. I told my new roomamtes that if they did not mention these damages to
Vista Way before checking out that they then would be automatically held responsible for
damages and would be terminated from any further Disney employment.
The next day Alan and Kevin turned in damage reports and an investigation by Price Management
and Vista Way Security followed shortly after. My roommates were called to testify against each
other and in the end, Brad, a roommate who I have no pictures of, a roommate who cared little
about Disney and a roommate who caused the majority of the damages was terminated from the WDWCP.
The remaining roommates pictured above were relocated leaving me in the end with an entire three
bedroom apartment to myself. After cleaning up their mess...It was a great place to stay!

I had the opportunity to check out a few new attractions while I was down at WDW.
Pictured above is the new nightly show at The Studios called Fantasmic! This show's
incredible! It takes place inside this theatre that holds 8,000+ guests including
seats and standing room. The show consists of Mickey having a dream sequences that
turns into a nightmare. It's a nighttime spectacular that takes you into the imagination
of "Sorcerer Mickey" as he and his friends confront all the notorious Disney villains
in an action-packed battle of good vs. evil. The show itself is about 25 minutes of music,
incredible pyrotechnics and movies being projected on water mist. Not to mention between
30 and 50 live actors. It's a definate must see while on your next WDW vacation!

I had the chance to ride "Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin" in Tomorrowland/Magic Kingdom.
Unfortunatly I don't have any pictures of this ride. I must say though, the line wasn't
very long and it was a fun, entertaining, enjoyable attraction. Speaking of long lines however...
I did try to ride "Test Track" at E.P.C.O.T. while it was in the cast preview stage and
needless to say "tried to ride" was the phrase that night. My story seemed to be the same
after asking several other cast memebers how they liked it. Many people attended the cast
preview and like me, ended up waiting between three to four hours to ride a very short,
over hyped and over anticipated ride. I'm not upset I didn't get to ride, but I am upset I waited
three hours and fourty-five minutes and then found out that they had to close the ride that night.

This is my friend Tanya who lived in building 10 on my original CP.
We are pictured here on the Town & Country shuttle service going to work.

Here is a picture of the Jellyrolls gang! Jellyrolls is a dueling piano bar located at
Disney's Boardwalk. I love going to Jellyrolls because you can get drunk and sing along
with the piano players. They take requests from Top 40 to silly sing-alongs. Pictured here
is former roommate Anthony Fleming in the middle next to his girlfriend and former CP, Tracy.
I am all the way on the left at the top and next to me is our two piano players for the evening.
The rest of the Jellyrolls gang are regulars we see all the time (mostly attractions cast members
from E.P.C.O.T.'s Innoventions)

This is a picture of me doing a trash run on New York Street at The Disney MGM Studios.
You can see that Disney liked to decorate for Christmas. At the end of N.Y. Street is
"The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights". It seems Disney acquired a lot of lights from
a guy named Jennings Osborne and his wife Mitzi because the families display had grown to bright
and run out of room in thier Little Rock, Arkansas neighborhood. The Studios adopted it and
now the proud display has grown to just over 4 million lights!!! It amazing! Disney blows
artificle snow from hidden spots on rooftops, palys x-mas tunes and hands out glasses that make angels appear
when you put them on and stare into each light. It's simply the most amazing x-mas display ever assembled.

This is my 3 musketeer costume I had to wear in order to sweep up after a horse named Riley in the
Beauty & the Beast Holiday Parade that took place at the Disney MGM Studios 3 times a day. As if
cleaning up horse poop in front of 3,000 people wasn't bad enough 3 times a day, I had to wear
this "cool" costume. A real musketeer would have probably not worn Ray-Ban's and shorts with
teal blue socks and pushed a golden pooper scooper anyway, right?

These are pictures of the brick I purchased for my parents 25th anniversary at Disney's
"Walk around the World". It is located in front of the ticket and transportation center
of the Magic Kingdom and will be there for as long as Disney World exists. I think that's really cool!
