Amazing how people still worship this man and Shut down every discussion about how awful he was because it ruins the fantasy.
When I lived in Tokyo a friend of mine told me he was at a bar and he met a guy who worked at Tokyo Disneyland as a mascot. I'm not sure if this conversation actually happened this way or my friend was pulling my leg a little. But it seems plausible to me it's real.
Friend: "You work at Disneyland?"
Guy: "Yeah."
Friend: "What do you do there?"
Guy: "I'm a mascot." [I don't remember who.]
Friend: "You must have great stories. Tell me about it."
Guy: "I can't. I'm not supposed to talk about it."
Friend: "What? Why?"
Guy: "It ruins the magic."
