Walt and Me
Street Performers,
Everybody's Friends
Top of job requirements list: "In Disneyland you are
everybody's friend". If the one just hired by father
and came outside while I waiting for Walt or Walt
had just left me there- somehow they became
friendly if not before. I would ask them who they are
now and we would start talking their character and I
would play another to help him/her. Lots of Fun and
helpful, especially for those that were too serious.
Even on a personally bad day, the customer was to
have a good friend. And the Disneyland street
performers had a friend in me.
My favorites were:

Goofy                          

Minnie                          

Daisy                         

    
Goofy loved being a comedian. Loved being
much different than her every day normal self. Yes,
HER. My father was not one of those strict sexist
Equal Opportunity Employer puppets of the bully
Democrat party politicians. No matter what the sex
was, he hired the person if the job could be done.
Walt said he admired my father for that, saying he
was brave for looking for what was good for
everybody, except the women's liberation idiots(his
words not mine). I think of them greedy and selfish.
Whatever about them, Goofy and I had a great time,
mostly by practicing his walk around Disneyland.
Big Nut and Little Nut are what many construction
workers called us. I led us out there so Goofy would
get to like the response from others. Same with
Minnie and Daisy.  I got Daisy and Minnie to start
talking to each other to keep recognizing each
others' voices after I was gone when my father
finished the hiring.
My sentimental favorite was Snow White. Her walk
and speaking and hand gestures needed a little
work, but it was her love life or should I say lack of
love life with her boss in the food concession where
she was to be working part time when Disneyland
that I  was most interested.  The 2 bits of advice I said
was to go slow because this was a job place and
maybe she find a slow way to start something, like
sitting next to him in her car when he was to give her
a ride to work on her first scheduled day in the
concession stand, to set it up for the first day.
Keeping score on
Walt and Me pages?
