- I started working at Disneyland in my Senior year of High School. That was in 1977 .. I auditioned to be a World Famous Walt Disney Character. Well .. I made the cut ! I worked in the Character/Entertainment Dept for fourteen and a half years ..1977 through 1991 ... These were some of the BEST times in my Life. These are some of my personal archives of when I worked at the Happiest Place on Earth !

You’re video’s are awesome!! The characters were a lot more fun to interact with before they had to worry about being accused of being inappropriate with guests. Looks like “being friends” with a character was a blast back then!!
I love you Brer Fox 🦊😘❤️😍💋💕💞🥰💘
1987 to 2001 at WDW Zoo...I agree, the BEST times of my life and the BEST life long friends.
i wish this was in better quaity
was there any specific reason why "t's A Small World was removed from the Electrical Parade after the '88 season? (I hgope they didn't go down in flames like "Return To Oz"
I want to work at WDW as a face character! I'm currently in my sophomore year in high school, I'm a good actress and a great dancer, I would love to be Minnie Mouse but I know that's never gonna happen, how was your audition, what did they look for? and how was working as a character?
Who was doing Minnie Mouse in 1977 and 1979?
Old Days are never get old!
Hep .. & .. Good memories never get forgotten !
Yep, that's why we never forget the old days and preserve them in your memories.
The Big Bad Wolf? I wouldn't mind playing him any day!
Do you know exactly when the Mickey and Minnie costumes improved from five-fingered to four fingered gloves?
P.S. Love pre-1990 Pooh.
1978 from what i've checked or December 1977, which i saw in another comment
Wow! Thank you so much, Dirk! I was in parades '79 & '80 and then in Wardrobe and I knew you pretty well. How fun to see everyone back then. We were so young!! I'm Debbie - last name Bell when I was in parades, then Reeder when I was in Wardrobe (was married to Tim, Dapper Dan). Thank you for bringing back those really fun times! I hope everyone working there now has as much fun as we did!!
I just love to encounter a Character Cavalcade. Or just a parade with the band and characters scrambling at once.
P.S. In the final scene, was that Paul Castle in the Mickey tuxedo? He was the main Mickey from 1961 to 1986.
@dirkthevent I think it was the late 1970's (like 1977-78). I've seen clips of Mickey with four-fingered gloves from that period.
Brer bear has always been my favorite :)
When I was a little kid I wanted to be a costume character at Disneyland .. I never did .. when I was grown I wanted to work for Muppets so I did work for Disney after all ... Dirk .. I had no idea you did this my friend.
Yes sir ... 14 & 1/2 years of it my friend 1977 - 1993 !! How about you ??
My involvement with Disney was my right arm .. not whole body ..... Muppet performer :)
When & what David ??
Hi Buddy ... Take a look at my Facebook page :)
Puppet, it's hard, sweaty, exhausting work...so worth it.
@dirkthevent Well, I checked photos and the earliest four-fingered Mickey I saw was from December 1977.
@bjcarterz1793 Yes correct .. about 14 years worth. Thanks ..
@Kartoonkid95 I think it was in the early 80's ..??
what was cp hook doing ????????
めちゃくちゃw
Thank you !
Question: Considering this is from the late '70s, did Disneyland do or have anything special with the film "Pete's Dragon"? That's my all-time favorite Disney movie.
