      my primary point is that they’re not underground, because, you know, swamp:

      The largest system of utilidors is beneath Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, but they are not a basement, contrary to popular belief. Because of an elevated water table, most of these tunnels were actually built at ground level, and the Magic Kingdom was built above that.

        The distinction between “the tunnels are underground” and “the tunnels are above ground, it’s just that the stuff visitors walk on is then above that” seems like a pretty subtle one.

        All that says is that Disney moved the ground up so that they could have underground stuff without it getting flooded. Or is the entire park the roof of a one story building?

          My understanding is the performers and cast members are paid like garbage which is wild considering how much it costs to go to Disney.

            this is true! my friend started in the college program then dropped out to disney full-time. which is i’m sure their goal. we lost touch shortly after we broke up (happiest breakup i’ve ever had) so i have no idea what’s going on in their life. alls i know is they got my favorite chinese restaurant turned into a church and i hate them.

            hold on hold on hold maybe i should write a song about how much i hate this girl.

      There isn’t much about Disney World that isn’t impressive from engineering, logistics, infrastructure, surveillance, and customer experience perspectives.

      It’s a Damm impressive operation.

        Hitler would have loved that shit. Such ze organization. Which is fitting given some of Walt’s inclinations.
