The Best Possible Job: Riding on the Metro
http://bestpossiblejob.blogspot.com/2012/07/riding-on-metro.html
July 15, 2012. Riding on the Metro. One of my favorite blogs, Vintage Disneyland Tickets, has been quiet lately. I know that one of VDT's favorite things is Magic Mountain's old Metro monorail, so I thought that I would share a story from a couple of years before my days as a Disneyland Cast Member. As a high school junior, I worked a summer as a ride operator out there in Valencia (just two gallons north of Hollywood! I hope the same isn't true for Vintage Disneyland Tickets.

The Best Possible Job: May 2012
http://bestpossiblejob.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
May 20, 2012. I know a place. Donna Summer's recent passing made me want to look back at her joyful performance during Disneyland's 30th Anniversary special from 1985. Unconditional love is what the Magic Kingdom should really be all about, isn't it? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Keeping the show on the road. But It Wasn't Always That Way! Tales of a Disneyland Cast Member. A bit of Americana. Imagination left in the world. Chit chat, yak yak, flim flam. Life is a Journey. I know a place.

The Best Possible Job: January 2012

January 15, 2012. If you were part of Disneyland in the days when it had a parking lot, you probably knew Arthur. Those of us in the Cast knew him well. He was there nearly every day. We talked with him as he made his regular rounds around the Park, always asking how we were and "How's business? This old Orange County Register article is a great way to meet him and I hope to start a happy new year. Cheers! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Keeping the show on the road.

The Best Possible Job: June 2012
http://bestpossiblejob.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
June 24, 2012. I can’t count the number of times that I scooped a box of Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn as a Disneyland Outdoor Vending Cast Member back in the '80s. It was all our popcorn wagons sold. No bottled drinks or souvenir buckets. Just paper cartons of Orville's best. I even met the man himself once. Just getting into the "resort". Why not just equip the wagons with shelves for the latest Pixar plush? Most everyone who reads this blog probably knows that Walt didn't go into Disneyla...

The Best Possible Job: March 2012
http://bestpossiblejob.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
March 11, 2012. Up through the atmosphere. Anyone who knew Disneyland well when Tomorrowland wasn't whatever it is today can tell you where this photo was taken. Can you identify the costume? The white, dark orange, and black color scheme should make it immediately clear. Leaning against the railing on the top deck of the Mark Twain as she drifted past the Hungry Bear Restaurant, putting along in a motor boat, or strolling through the Alpine Gardens were a few. Now, of course, the Rocket Jets are all gone.

The Best Possible Job: July 2013
http://bestpossiblejob.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
July 17, 2013. What do you give a 58-year-old Magic Kingdom? What do you give a 59-year-old Magic Kingdom on her birthday? Especially when she has everything, like she did when I first pinned on a Mickey Mouse nametag:. Nice, but totally expected. How about these ideas, taken directly from Your Souvenir Guide for 1983:. Complete banking services between 10 am and 3 pm every day Disneyland is open. A place to sign in the Disneyland Guest Book. A room full of fun for a penny, nickel, dime, or quarter.
