Ah! I was playing around in google maps, trying to picture our bus rides from May 2014. It doesn't look like one would see very much "behind the magic" though, due to the trees.
Sometimes buses sneak through that way to the airport. The thing I have learned over the years is behind the magic, isn't so magical.lol The green,manicured lawns, the bright colored signs and buildings are gone and there isn't a palm tree to be found.lol
Concrete, steel and black top all topped off in baby poop green paint. lol You really don't see much. The only building you can tell what it is, is where the monorails and trains are kept. Central shops is on the right, warehouse where the decorations are stored is on the left. Costuming, laundry and what they call west clock, that is where cms grab the bus to head to the tunnels. Power stations, cooling towers. Very industrial.
Even in the tunnels, the local rock station in blaring over the radio. Lol
I still remember the first keys to the kingdom tour I took, the guide said when you go behind the scenes don't get mad or upset if a cm don't say hello or smile at you, they get paid to smile when they hit the show line.lol
My dd made sure to at least smile at tour groups when she seen them behind the scenes.
I said this many times, I never gave any cm a hard time and after the tours, and having a dd as a cm so I may be a bit bias, I have the utmost respect for those front line cms. How they do it everyday without killing someone, I have no idea. They work long hard hours in all weather for not a lot of money. Most do it for the love of wdw, some do it to put on there resume and some do it for a living. Dd did it for all of the above. She will always have the memories and friends she met while she was there and growing up a Disney kid, it was just something she had to do and dream of doing.
She came home Jan of 2014. We took her back may 2015. She met up with a lot of people she worked with,all ask when is she coming back.There was a cm at the launching pad asked if she was off today.lol
She loved the program, recommends it to everyone but she wanted to keep it as her vacation,fun spot. You don't vacation where you work.I didn't understand that till she did the program.
It is a multi billion dollar operation with 60 to 70k employees working on property. It is corporate America.
Walt Disney was not an easy man to work for. He wanted what he wanted and how he wanted it and when he wanted it. I've done a lot of reading over the years and he could be a pr&$k if he wanted. That would explain his suscess.
I admire the man, got a huge set.... lol.
Good detective work
