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
