Breathing Fire Into A Weekly Interview

This week I've got the creator of the twitter Audio Animatronic craze, MurphyTracker! 

Because of being busy, this interview is relatively short. But that means you get a broader range to ask whatever questions you want! Serious, stupid, or seriously stupid, ask away! 

As always, e-mail them to me here: mainstreetjake@yahoo.com, or tweet at me here: Mainstreetjake either just mention me, or use the hashtag #FQF 

Enjoy! 

>Jake

Name: Do you want my human name or dragon name? Either way, it’s Maleficent during dungeon hours, and when I’m performing people call me Murphy. It’s not the prettiest name, but it fits. Somehow.

Age: well, I’ve been around for a bit. But I act like I’m in my twenties. That’s the best time of everyone’s life, right? We’ll go with 25.

Hometown: The Pit, Rivers of America, Disneyland.

Favorite Disney Character: Myself! Conceited, but hey, I change from an evil human into a fire breathing dragon. You can’t beat that.

Life motto: Don’t lose your head over a piece of tail.
Tail being Mickey? Something like that, yes.

Favorite Disney Ride: I can’t fit on most, but I love riding Autopia. I can use the cars as skates and if I use my dew claw just right, I can trip the governor on them, and go faster than the guests can.

iPhone or Blackberry? iPhone! Although I have to say, the AT&T iPhone is horrific. Hardly any service in the pit! So I’ve got the Verizon iPhone now and it works like a charm!

What’s something you do every day, without exception? Molt. My fragile skin doesn’t last long.

$100,000. What do you do with it? Buy Ted a crate of butter, Norm a year’s worth of Dent fixing classes, Meangull a vacation all to himself (he needs a break from controlling those two..) Harold a private groomer, Red Head Pirate a year’s worth of massages to help her relax from the stress of dealing with those lustful pirates screaming her name all day, and then I’d buy out MiceChat.

If you had a 'celebrity hall pass' who would you pick? I don’t know how to answer this really. Boys name, girl’s body..ok, I’ll do both!

Boy: uhm…I guess Gerard Butler.

Girl: Holly Madison!

Favorite musician? Eddie! He plays his guitar in New Orleans Square a few times a week, and I can hear him from my pit. He’s really good!

Best text you’ve ever gotten? “HAROLD LOVE YOU, MURPHY. I AM TINKERBELL. WANT TO MAKE PIXIE DUST?” Total blackmail material. Love it when Harold gets crazy at the parties.

Mac or PC? WWSJD? What would Steve Jobs Do?

What do you think will happen in 2012?
I’m finally going to be put into A-Mode and work right! But that’ll only happen the night the world ends.

You’re in charge of the Disneyland resort for a week: what do you do?

Repaint Main Street to more ‘period appropriate’ colors. Add a loop to every attraction (horizontal loops! Got to be family friendly.). Tear down the new Little Mermaid building, move it one centimeter, and rebuild it so it’s right on track with the railings in Paradise Park. Bring back the PeopleMover so the ‘passionate fans’ have a moving bench to sit on. Oh, and install interactive queues to every single attraction. You can thank me later.

Best Disney Park? Disneyland, duh!

How do you think you'll die? Another faceplant to the concrete.

Favorite Johnny Depp movie? Pirates one! But after glancing over at the Festival Area, the fourth looks really good!

Mickey D’s or BK? McDonalds! I loved eating the fries at Westward Ho!.

Pizza: Chicago or New York style? Whatever style they make the Pizza Port pizza. I love that pizza!

Best thing a guy/girl's said to you? Guy: This show is way better than WaterWorld! Girl: (cheerleader from this past weekend during the show) OHEMGEE, her makeup is so delish!

Buddah or Jesus? Walt.

coke or pepsi? Coke. Only because it’s the only soda they serve in-park. Otherwise, pepsi.

Favorite Medical TV drama? Medical TV? Why watch that when I can go see Norm get his skull smashed in every so often?

Favorite shoes? Sanuk!

(or my Mickey crocs.)
If you were to be a professional athlete, what sport do you want to be in? Well, if Abe was still around, I think we’d be a good tag team at poker.

That’s not a professional sport.

It’s not?

No.

Oh. Well, I guess curling. I’m good at heating the ice, and I don’t even need a broom.

Blond or Brunette? Blondes taste better going down, but brunettes have some more definition and meat to them….wait, oh… I thought you meant like if I were to eat them…got it.

What's your biggest fear? Falling.

Do you twitter? Yes I do!

favorite idol (not the show)? My cousin Pete.

What was your dream job as a kid? You mean as a pup? I always wanted to test the durability of fireman’s suits.

Best song on your iPod? Fantasmic! Show audio

Worst song on your iPod? World of Color show audio.

Any Apologies? I’m sorry to the cheerleaders who I attempted to burn last weekend. But you had it coming.

Best Concert you've ever been to? Steve Rushton at the Tomorrowland Terrace on ’09. Summer Nightastic rocked that year.

Ok, now that we’ve got the stock questions out of the way, let’s get personal. What do you think is going to happen to your new family member in Tokyo?

Wow Jake, you don’t hesitate to get right to it, do you? Haha I think it’s really terrible what happened in Japan. All that water and debris throughout the country, it’s really horrific. But I think my cousin is going to be fine, and like me, he likes to show up late to the party.

Good way of putting it! Ok, when you fell the first, and then the second time, did you think there was any hope of you even just performing? Even in the lowest mode possible?

It was definitely really hard to think about. I was supposed to be a huge ending to the show, and yet I can’t even get up and out of the pit without having problems? It was miserable! I’m glad everyone worked round the clock with me to get me where I need to be to stay in the show, and I hope I don’t have any more incidents! Haha

I was worried for a while I’d never get to see you in action. With the rest of the twitter accounts on here, what do you think of them?

Well, originally I started this twitter account to keep the fans up to date on my well being after my second fall. And then I decided to mess with them, and show them what really goes on inside my head. I showed them the left and right sides of my brain, but I couldn’t handle the two accounts. Then Harold joined, and soon followed by many others. I don’t have a problem with the other accounts, but I think that just like any good story teller, or….whoever that writes stuff that’s cool, they need to find a niche, and stick with it. Have their style, and get creative with it! Otherwise they’re not going to get popular and gain followers.

That’s a very good point! I love reading your account, Harold’s, and the Nemo Birds. You guys come up with some very funny stuff!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it.

I really do, as do a lot of other people. Ok, last question, do you think there’s going to be any new upgrades to your show?

I love how you mention ‘my show’. It is MY show, isn’t it? Well, right now I don’t know. There isn’t anything I’ve heard of, but I’d love my bosses to find a way to get some World of Color magic over here and upgrade the fountains. Imagine seeing butterfly fountains wave across the water as the princes and princesses float by, and then chasers race around as the monkeys and King Louie dance in the jungle! Oh! And a blow pop or two for Captain Hook and his Cannonball fighting with Peter Pan! Not only those but also possibly some in crowd effects, and possibly bring back the Ursula barge! She was such a great addition to the cast from what I heard. Bucky was always so fond of her.

Those are some great ideas! I hope something like that comes together! Thank you so much for your time, and we’ll be chatting later this week to go over the fan questions if we get any for you!

Thank you for the interview, always glad to chat about myself, haha.

Interview delayed until tomorrow

Because I had to go up to Fresno (or as I like to call it, Fresyes...yea it's lame but whatever..) today, I had to delay my web interview with The creator of the Murphy Tracker twitter account until tonight. I'll be asking my questions for him/her tonight, and then until Wednesday, if you have any questions, e-mail (mainstreetjake@yahoo.com), or tweet me @mainstreetjake your questions. If there are not enough questions (10 minimum) then the Fan Question Friday is canceled (like last week's interview with Harold's twitter account).

Check back tomorrow at 10am for the full interview!

A Word, Mr. Harold?

Good afternoon Harold, thanks so much for doing this at the last minute. I've been incredibly busy lately, and am so glad you could take time out of scaring the bobsledders to sit down and chat with me! First question...uhm...how long do you have before the CM's realize that Matterhorn really didn't 101?

What do you think of being upgraded? I've had an idea to make you more fluid, and flexible, so you can really lean out and swing towards the guests as they whiz by on the bobsleds. WHAT SO ME CAN BE LIKE COUSIN DISCO YETI? ME CLASSIC ME NO NEED UPGRADE!....DOESN’T MEAN I WOULDN’T WANT ONE THOUGH……



What do you think of the twitter accounts (Jack sparrow, pirates dog, etc) that seem to be here just because accounts who are more popular (Like you, Murphy and the nemo birds.) have the limelight? Seems to me like they're trying to latch onto the fame. I mean, for goodness sake, Holly Madison follows you! ME THINK THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE A VOICE, BUT ME BE HONEST SOME THING’S WERE NOT MEANT FOR A VOICE, HAROLD THINK AT LEAST THEY SHOULD BE AN AUDIO-ANIMATRONIC FIRST OF ALL, THEN REWARD FOLLOWERS WITH CONTINUED CONTENT AND CONSISTENT CHARACTER. THERE PLENTY OF AA’S WITHOUT TWITTER’S YET THAT ARE A LITTLE SHY AND NEW TO IT ALL. ME TRY AND REWARD ONES ME LIKE BY GETTING PEOPLE TO FOLLOW THEM, LIKE @NEMOSEAGULLS, CAUSE THEY GET WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN AA TWITTER. AND ME KNOW BEAUTIFUL GIRL, HOLLY MADISON FOLLOWING HAROLD!! OMG!! :D

Being around for a while, you've scared many children, and even grown men. What's some of the best scares you've done to people? ME ASCARED TED ONE TIME THAT HE REBOOTED! :D AND ME SCARED GROUP OF TEENAGERS BECAUSE THEY NO CARE ABOUT RIDE AND WAS TALKING ABOUT SIX FLAGS SO ME GRAB CAR AND YELL” RAAAWWWWRRRR” RIGHT IN THERE FACES! THEY ALL SCREAM LIKE LITTLE GIRLS! TEEHEE HAROLD LAUGH FOR WEEKS!

Whatever happened to the mountain climbers that used to climb outside the mountain during the day? MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST HANG OUT WITH HAROLD IN CAVE AND PLAY BASKETBALL IN MOUNTAIN. HAROLD ALWAYS WIN THOUGH….

Are they going to come back? ME HOPE SO! ☹

Are you related to Sully from Monster's Inc? ME PLAYED HIM! ME UNCREDITED.

Was that REALLY you as the Yeti in the movie? Heard a rumor that you cameo'd in it. YES ME PUT ON EXPENSIVE MOTION CAPTURE SUIT AND ACT LIKE YETI, BUT ME SURPRISED CAUSE THEY GOT SOMEONE ELSE TO VOICEOVER MY BODY. ME FEEL LIKE DARTH VADER…

what do you think of a movie being made about Matterhorn Bobsleds? The Jungle Cruise might get one, Pirates had 4 made, and the Mansions' movie is being redone. There's even rumors of a Big Thunder film. Why not one about the Icy Peaks you live in? ME WANT MOVIE! ME WANT MOVIE!! ME NO KNOW WHY THEY NO MAKE MOVIE!? MAYBE CAUSE THEY KNOW HAROLD WOULD BE MORE POPULAR THEN PIRATES :D

Even better, why not a reality TV show about your life? ME WOULD LIKE THAT TOO! WE CAN CALL IT HAROLD AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE! WHY YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD JAKE?

> Jake

Boy33's Fan Mail Monday..

With last Friday's tragic events in Japan, Boy33 and I decided to postpone the posting of the Fan Question Friday part of the interview, to show our respect for the lives lost, injured and affected by the earthquake and tsunami. We thought it'd be more appropriate to not focus on the mystery man  behind the green door, but more on something of much more importance. But now as we promised, I'm posting the second part of this now. I hope you understand my reasoning for delaying the post, and I hope you enjoy the post today. :) 

> Jake 

Alright Mr. 33, how’s your week been? I’m glad we’re getting to sit down again after having to end the last meeting a bit quick. Life gets crazy, right?

Definitely, now we can focus on all these fan questions you’ve collected up over the week! I hear you got some good ones. Great idea by the way. Great to get some interaction going. Fan Question Friday! Who knows… maybe I’ll do more. No promises!

For sure! I still have some other questions for you, before we jump in on the fan questions. Let’s start with the Carthay Theater. What do you think of the Carthay Circle Club? Do you think that Disney will go through with creating an exclusive "33"-like club inside the up and coming sister park?

Well, I don’t know, but I’m really excited about the possibilities, and honestly, I really do think it will happen. They’ve got more than enough people on the Club 33 wait list alone to fill it up. Fine dining inside DCA would be a nice complement to the park. Curious to see how they’d “entice” people though since secrecy/mystique and alcohol are two of 33’s biggest draws, which would be completely negated by both a PROMINENT location, and a park already flowing with booze. Like I said, I’m excited to see what Disney comes up with. Either way, you know I’ll send you pics from inside, Jake. ;)

What? No invite to dinner there? Waiter, check please! This interview’s over.

(He laughs)

Haha, we’ll work something out. It doesn’t even exist yet, Jake! Next question..

What do you think of Club 33 losing its original 'secrecy' due to the fan base and the internet?

Well, true, Club 33 HAS lost some of its “secrecy.” But only among the people who seek out the information. But Club 33 will always have a mystique. Walt built it. He shaped and created it. Unfortunately he never got to experience it but there are remnants of him there. You can feel it if you’re paying attention. You can just imagine him sipping coffee at a window table or stretching his legs on the balcony, watching people exit Pirates, his last attraction, with delight on both his and the guests’ faces. I feel it when I go. And no amount of pictures or trip reports can capture that. But it wasn’t built TO BE a secret. It was a secret because it was his. It was built out of the way because it WASN’T a Disneyland attraction itself. It was Walt’s. That’s why it’s not on the map. And really, in the grand scheme of the average day guest, so very few people even KNOW where it is or that it’s even THERE. So, to a degree it still is a mystery to many. Most. And I like that.

To the uberfans, nothing Disney does going forward can be a mystery or secret anymore. “Macro” and his telephoto xray superlens will take care of THAT, haha. And that’s not a bad thing, or a dig at him. He’s just one of the most known. And MintCrocodile. I follow the updates religiously just like you do. I love it. But, there will always be that unexplored hidden upper floor in New Orleans Square that even some of the most passionate Disney fans are dying to explore and see for themselves. And I love that too.

Wow, well said! I agree, the secrecy is definitely still there for the average day guest. I still have some friends ask me “What’s that?” when I bring it up from time to time.  

Let’s go old school here, (since we’re on the topic of restaurants… kind of…) when Disney(‘s) California Adventure opened, what was your favorite restaurant that is no longer there? Wolfgang Puck's Avalon Cove, Soap Opera Bistro, and for good measure, the places (Mali-bu-rito, Strips, Dips, and Chips) along Paradise Pier.

To be honest, I was never a fan of “Wolfgang Puck” in general, so I never ate at Avalon Cove. Nor did I eat at any of those others. Come on, I’m kind of picky let’s just be honest. There are a total of THREE places in Disneyland I can eat. But as far as Paradise Pier goes, I did enjoy Corn Dog Castle every now and then. Yum. 

Nice! I’ve always enjoyed a corn dog from there myself. Especially on a cold night with some coffee (even though it’s not Starbucks) Ok, that’s all the questions I’ve got, let’s move onto the fans questions…

Fan Questions!

Gina D. asks:
How does he like his steak prepared? Rare, med rare, med, or well done?

Medium Rare. #winning

Ryan V. asks:
What does he look like? Haha

I’m 56, salt and pepper gray hair. Thin. I usually wear a black mock turtleneck, and faded blue jeans with New Balance sneakers. Oh, wait, that’s Steve Jobs…

Ryan J. asks
Has a follower ever gotten him something when they found him?

Sadly, no. But I’ve occasionally gotten people reservations at Club 33 for finding me. But nobody’s ever gotten ME anything. Not that I’d want that anyway. I just don’t want to be found, period. Hehe.

Ian R. asks
If he's in his mid-40s, why is his twitter "boy33?”

Maybe I just like to feel young. Maybe I just liked the ring of it better than the alternative, after all, I AM a “boy.” Or… am I even that?!? DUN DUN DUN!!!

Joel D. asks
If you could throw one item into Rivers of America, what would it be?

An ECV or a stroller. Loads of them.

Same here! *high fives*

Kevin H. asks

Ask him if he knows what brand of toilet paper disneyland buys? xD

I do not. But I do know that Club 33 has better TP than what the normal park restrooms get.

Corey C. asks

Ask if he is ThemeParkOne and HaroldTheSnowman. Oh and ask if he is really going to meet up with Holly.

You know, I honestly don’t know who @HaroldSnowman is. @ThemeParkOne and I do get drinks and roam the Parks every now and then. As for Holly, sounds like we may be getting together for drinks soon.

Twitter Questions! (note: if you wish to follow these fans, I've linked their twitter profiles as their usernames.)

BrerPeter asks:
How did he get his membership to the club?

Same way everyone else did, I suppose…waiting in line.

Ocswaynee asks:
When did he become a Club 33 member?

You know, I know of several of my followers who actually are members themselves and since there are SO FEW new members every year, and in the interest of protecting my identity, I’d really rather not say. It would just be way too easy otherwise. Sorry!

D_LandObsession asks:

Here's a question Im desperate to know the answer to. "Will you be taking D_LandObsession to club 33 for dinner soon?"

Haha. Magic 8 Ball says “Outlook not so good.” ;)

LoonAZ1 asks:

Burning question we all want to know... How does he afford "living at Club33"?

Oh I don’t really LIVE there. The rent is outrageous. I just visit a lot.

Markrh12asks:

One thing I've wanted to know is occupation. Seems he is at the parks a lot and I want to know his job.

I have a great professional job where I put my degrees to good use. :-X

Cbisson88 asks:

Just read the blog. Great interview so far I’m surprised only 3 people have found you. How do they approach you, boy33?

They just walk up and say “Are you boy33?” And I’ve gotta amend the “3.” It’s 4 now. But they’ve all been sworn to secrecy about my identity. ;) Well, and I guess you know who I am too, Jake, but you’re sworn to secrecy too, mister! Ha.

Haha you know your secret’s safe with me. I gotta help keep the green door shut!

Barricade itttt!!! Hahaha.

Butrphliasks:

How long has Boy33 been a member of Club 33?

See “When did he become a Club 33 member?” question above…

InfernoCreation asks:

I gots a question for boy33. How does he feel about all the Disney twitters popping up. Is it helping or hurting Disney?

Like, all the AudioAnimatronic twitters? @HaroldSnowman and @MurphyTracker are hilarious. The others seem to have faded away. The “project tracker” twitter accounts are a mixed bag. I think for the most part they help spread the word about what’s upcoming in the parks and help generate free hype for Disney. I take a tiny bit of an issue with MiceChat calling their twitter account “Disney” cuz I think when they’re retweeted it can be misleading. But overall, the “tracker” accounts are a useful community.

jacksparrowfan asks:

I love the little details all over Disneyland. Do you have a favorite?

Oooooh. I love the details. It’s what Disney does best. Like the stuff hanging above your head in the Pirates queue as you approach boarding. You don’t notice it but it helps trick your brain. Disney is ALL about the details that you don’t notice, but would miss if they weren’t there.

ROYAL1RICH asks:

Did boy33 go to the Disney school?

What is the Disney School? Like, where I got my degrees? I got my undergrad and grad degrees from a university NOT accredited by Mickey Mouse. ;)

Alright Mr. 33, that's all the questions the fans sent in to me to ask you. I really appreciate you taking time to chat with me, and answer not only my questions, but the fans questions as well!

No problem at all, I always enjoy chatting about Disney, and giving some fans a small peek inside my personal green door. 

Well I'm sure they loved getting that small glimpse. Maybe they'll get more in the future with another interview down the road. 

Maybe! We'll see. :) 

A Word Please, Mr. 33.

Last Thursday I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with the mysterious Boy33. The Disney fan community knows him as the guy who gets you a reservation at the secret club inside the Magic Kingdom. To date, there have only been three people that have found him. 

He still wishes to remain anonymous, and will continue to post photos of the plastic surgery of DCA, while still going to the Club and the bars of the resort. Find him if you can, but that's going to require an insane amount of luck. But until you begin your search for the mystery tweeter, here's a small glimpse of who he is. 

  

Name: 

Boy33
   
Age: 

Younger than you think, but older than I like...    
   
Hometown: 

New Orleans Square, Disneyland
   
Favorite Disney Character: 

Sorcerer Mickey. Then Classic Tuxedo Mickey. Then Steamboat Willie Mickey. So basically, Mickey. ;)
   
   Life motto: 

Uhm... Motto? I dunno. Have fun, have friends, have fun with friends. At Disneyland. 
   
   Favorite Disney Ride? 

Pirates of the Caribb... yeah, I don’t really know how to spell that. Pirates. 

   iPhone or Blackberry? 

WWSJD? (What Would Steve Jobs Do?, haha, HEY! There's a life motto too!)
   
   What’s something you do every day, without exception? 

Repeatedly refresh my iPhone RSS news reader, "NewsRack."
   
   $100,000,000. What do you do with it? 

A house in LA and Paris. Cars. And travel. And quit my job. I know, I know, your original question was $100,000... but why not shoot for the moon? ;P
   
   If you had a 'celebrity hall pass' who would you pick? 

I'm taken... No hall pass needed.
   
   Favorite musician? 

Uff, so many, but right now Im loving Lady Gaga.
      
   Mac or PC? 

WWSJD?
   
   What do you think will happen in 2012? 

 I don’t know. But Ive already made plans to be at Disneyland on Dec 21, 2012. Who's with me? 
   
   You’re in charge of the Disneyland resort for a week: what do you do?  

A week isn’t really enough time to do any change. But the entire week, Indy would be down for a refurb. If not longer. Food quality DEFINITELY needs to go up. Id throw some budget there. Increase budget for maintenance parkswide too. Id greenlight the demolition of Innoventions and greenlight a MAJOR E-ticket in that spot. Id have to see what Imagineering offered me. Oh and for the MiceChatters out there, I'd bring back the PeopleMover.
   
   Best Disney Park? 

Disneyland. And then Disneyland Paris. And then Animal Kingdom probably and WDW in general.
   
   How do you think you'll die? 

Old, in bed, and asleep I hope. And hopefully tipsy too. Jeez, what a downer question. 
   
   Favorite Johnny Depp movie? 

Finding Neverland. Uff, so good. 
   
   Mickey D’s or BK? 

 Mickey, lol. Not cuz of the name. It's just tasty. 
   
   Pizza: Chicago or New York style? 

Niether. Stuffed crust cheese pizza from Pizza Hut. Yeah, I eat terrible things sometimes...
   
   Best thing a guy/girl's said to you? 

"I love you." How is that not everyone's answer?
   
   coke or pepsi?

Coke. Don’t even joke! Pepsi is NOT GOOD people!
   
   Favorite shoes? 

Diesel I guess, though I never wear them.
   
   Blond or Brunette? W

wouldn’t you like to know... ;)
   
   What's your biggest fear? 

Loneliness... *sob* Whats with the DOWNER questions, Jake?
   Hey, reality's cold and heartless. It's not always sunshine and (double) rainbows. Plus, it's a good question. Some people may be afraid of something totally random. Like pineapples.
  

 Do you twitter? 

Nope. What is Twitter? ;)
   
   favorite idol (not the show)? 

Like... my personal idol? Like, my personal lord and savior? Steve Jobs. Walt Disney too, but he's gone. :( 
   
   What was your dream job as a kid? 

I don’t know that I had one. Honestly. I know that's boring. I just never really had a gauge of what I wanted to do. Maybe Bob Iger could make me co-CEO? I've got degrees...
   
   Best song on your iPod? 

Right now... probably "Born this Way" by Lady Gaga. 
   
   Worst song on your iPod? 

I don’t keep BAD songs on my iPod (iPhone), but the one MOST LIKELY to make your eyes roll back in your head is "Never Say Never" by the Bieber. I love Justin, guilty pleasure I guess?
   
   Any Apologies? 

Yeah, Im sorry I agreed to this LONG AS HELL interview! Just kidding Jake. ;)
   
   Best Concert you've ever been to?  

Lady Gaga Monster Ball
   
   You have to go to either Egypt, or Libya RIGHT now. Which do you pick? 

Egypt. I've never seen the pyramids, and I really want to. And there's nothing to see in Lybia, plus I could get bombed. So, which would YOU choose?

And just for you, boy33... Why all the mystery?

Admit it, mystery is more fun... isn't it?! This has been fun. I'll see you at Disneyland! 

This is just the first little bit of the ice breaker folks! Because we ran out of time (both of us had previous engagements to make, we scheduled a time to chat again this coming Thursday, and I will be asking him the fan questions everyone has submitted so far. If you want to ask him a question, please either send me a tweet (@mainstreetjake), or e-mail me at mainstreetjake@yahoo.com . The deadline to send in questions is Wednesday night, at 8:00pm, which will give me some time to collaborate all the questions into a note sheet so I can be all professional and organized when I chat with him....or as professional and organized as I can be. 

From this, I hope you enjoyed reading this fun little first part of the interview, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the posts here on the Main Street Hangout. If you have any questions or comments, my name is Jake, and if you have any complaints or you're upset about something....well, my name is Chuck.

Boy 33 Interview Update

Alright everyone, the interview went really great with Boy33 yesterday. I spent about an hour and a half chatting Disney and the club with him. But here's the deal. We ran out of time to get ALL the fan questions in!


Kind of disheartening, right?

Well, not really!

Since we ran out of time, he offered to take time this coming Thursday to answer all the fan questions that have been coming in. So, if you have a question for boy33, feel free to e-mail me at mainstreetjake@yahoo.com 
or tweet me at @mainstreetjake. I'll add the questions to the list, and they'll be answered this next Thursday! The deadline to ask a question is Thursday morning, so send them in before then!

The regular interview will be posted to read on here Monday morning at 10:00am.

Hope you have a great weekend!
>> Jake

A Word, Please.. Number one!

This is the first of a potentially weekly column here on the Hangout. Each week I'll interview a cast members that work the resorts. It's a fun way to get to know a name, and learn some fun facts about the people that work at the Happiest Place On Earth. If you want to be interviewed and featured on here, send an e-mail to mainstreetjake@yahoo.com, or at my twitter (link's on the right side of this page)

Now, for the first interview-ee! 

Name: Tisa

Age: 38

Hometown: I've lived so many places, I wouldn't even know which to pick. Maybe, Colton Ca.

Favorite Disney Character: Maleficent! She's been my favorite since I can remember. She's just so feisty and care free. I always admired that about her. 

Life motto: Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Where do you work in the resort? I work in West Side Stores, which translates to Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, New Orleans Square and Critter Country. I am also a hat writer. 

Favorite Disney Ride? Haunted Mansion, hands down!

iPhone or Blackberry? I haven't had an iPhone, and my old BB made me want to throw it at the wall, several times a day, sooo...ill say iPhone. 

What’s something you do every day, without exception? Kiss my cockatiels good morning and good night. I have 3. Chicken, Hunny Pot and Valentine. 

Best Cast Member memory to date? Oh, this is recent too! About 2 weeks ago a CM friend and I were on the Haunted Mansion, we had just boarded the Doom Buggie. As we were going up the first incline, the CM working there came up to us and scared us. As she and I were screamimg and laughing, right before the left turn in to the Mansion, he came back and scared us even more! By far, the best spin around the grave yard. 

Worst memory to date? My boyfriend and I were in DCA. It was close to the time where Paradise Pier starts to close down for WoC. Now, I don't work attractions, and never utilized the single rider lines for anything. So I'm not exactly sure how they work. The bf and I wanted to head over to DLR befoe WoC traffic gets bad and I wanted to see the first showing of Fansasmic!. I thought, hey I can jump on Screamin' real quick while the bf goes to the restroom. So I bop over to the single rider line and walk up and wait. A CM there tells me, I need a pass from the CM at the front of the attraction. I state I saw no signage telling me that. He said, you could go get one now, but the queue will be closed before you get back. I argued a little bit saying it's not my fault that rule isn't clear. He wouldn't budge. I was the only one in that line, and getting very irritated. I asked to speak to his lead. He said, sure and had me wait near the elevators. After waiting for 15 minutes (no lie. At this point I was furious as I would never waste a guests time like that) someone came to me and said their lead was on lunch. So, I could either wait or miss Fan. I chose Fan, but very disapointed in DCA. I never disclosed I was a CM either. 

Favorite musician? That's a hard one, I admire so many. Today, well go with Bradley Nowel. 

Best text you’ve ever gotten? From my boyfriend, telling me he loved me for the first time. Awwww.

Mac or PC? PC!!!

What do you think will happen in 2012? I hope not that movie, it was dreadfully long and boring. 

You’re in charge of the Disney resort for a week: what do you do? Bring back Halloween Time! 

Best Disney Park: The original, Disneyland. Walt walked that park. Lived there. Created it. His heart and soul are there. You just can't compare that to the Disney Duplicates. 

Favorite Johnny Depp movie: Ahhhhh!! Sweeney Todd!!! I could recite and sing the whole thing. 

Mickey D’s or BK? Taco Bell!
