Draven Star in “Debauchery at Disney” and random stuff

Draven Star, Pentakis Dodecahedron, and I went to The Magic Kingdom back in November, and I finally had a chance to edit together the video!

The Snow White meeting definitely isn’t very “Dark Side”, but it was such a great example of a CM going out of their way to make someone’s day special that I had to include it. Draven is a huge Snow White fan, and the one thing she had to do at MK was meet her favorite princess. She started crying the second Snow White walked out the door, and obviously when the CM saw this she realized it was a special moment for Draven. So Snow White took her by the hand and brought her into City Hall, where she got a button that said “I’m Celebrating Meeting Snow White”. It was very sweet and exactly the sort of thing that, despite all of the issues at the parks, keeps the “magic” alive. So, kudos to the CM – give that girl a raise!

In other news, I realized I’d never posted the link to my podcast appearance on WDW Kingdomcast. Hunter, Gary, Ron B (the DSoD contest winner) and I did a virtual “drinking around the world” tour of World Showcase, and by the end I was pretty drunk. Actually, I was already pretty drunk at the beginning. Anyway, it made for an entertaining if not entirely coherent podcast. Check it out at www.wdwkingdomcast.com!

Finally, I want to thank everyone for all the postive responses to my Image Works videos! For better or worse they drew a lot of attention to my exploits, to the point where I was warned by someone with tons of high-profile Disney connections that “[you’re] pushing your luck with stunts like that,” and that it wouldn’t be “smart for you long range if you continue to post things like your ImageWorks walk-thru online.”

So… even though I have some awesome backstage vids in the pipe, I’ll probably refrain from posting them for a bit, until things cool down. Considering I’ll be spending the next few weeks finishing my new book, I likely won’t have time to do much video editing anyway, so the timing is fortuitous. This won’t be a total blackout – I’ll still be on Twitter and Facebook, and will be recording new podcasts, but it just might be a while until I post more videos. Sorry!
