Cast Member Shenanigans, Summer of '82 Finale!

It's a sad day for fans of my Cast Member Shenanigans series, as I post my last shots from this batch. Most of these appear to be a backstage area/breakroom.



These next two shots show what would appear to be two pencil-pushers.



According to the urban dictionary, a pencil pusher is:

Someone who works in an incredibly boring job. Most likely the person themselves also exudes extreme boringness. I.e. an accountant, or one whose job is meaningless, and invites people that have no personalities to join and TALK.



Not wanting to leave you in total boredom, I am throwing in a few shots from Bill H.'s archives showing a refurbishment of the trolley tracks on Main Street from 1982.



Can you imagine a construction project at Disneyland today with flimsy barriers like these? Somebody...please! Call legal IMMEDIATELY!

Cast Member Shenanigans, Summer of '82 Pt. 3

Today's cast member fun begins with this beautiful portrait of Chris. Photo two is of a female cast member who most likely worked on Space Mountain.



I wonder if these sunglasses were regulation or if Kimberly is just going rogue.



A pensive moment at the Autopia:



Pole-dancing lessons perhaps?





Keith is working on his best modeling pose:



A helpful cast member, assisting guests into the vehicle:





It's all fun and games until somebody gets run over!



This cast member looks as if she just stepped out of a Twisted Sister video:



Is this cast member reverting back to an ape? The posturing of her arm would make one think so.



There you go...much better. Turn on that Disneyland Cast Member charm!



"Hello, my name is Dave. Please look at my name tag."





Yes, the blonde is sure cute, but for a true Disneyland geek, the eyeballs will gravitate towards the Pluto tag on the gentleman's shirt:



Zooming in, does anyone know what this signifies?



Hello, Sheila! Could she have been the inspiration for the song by Ready for the World?



Can't read the name tag. Boring sunglasses. Not even looking at the camera. Next...



Need a repair on your car? Bob is the man:



Something tells me that hitchhiking is only allowed at The Haunted Mansion. Bad cast member!

Cast Member Shenanigans, Summer of '82 Pt. 1

I know absolutely nothing about these Summer of 1982 photos taken at Disneyland; however, it is refreshing to see these "behind-the-scenes" shots showing cast members having a blast and enjoying their jobs. What better photos to display on April Fool's Day?

Today's installment features the Submarine Voyage. The first shot is a bit racy; I can only imagine what would happen to this cast member today if a photo like this were leaked online.



Gary sure seems to be having a work on this particular day.















It sure would be fun if somebody knew these cast members and were able to share some memories about the Summer of 1982.

Eating with the common-folk

Talk about a buzzkill...Snow White carrying her own cafeteria tray? Or Snow White in a cafeteria at all? This photo couldn’t be any more posed; there is at least one cast member representing each land, and the people in seats seem just a little too excited considering the only prop they’ve been allowed is a cup o’ joe. So what I want to know (besides the date of this, anyone?) is who’s the sourpuss with the cigar in the back? Looks like an evil number cruncher to me!
