Sometimes the stuff I find on Youtube is so bizzare I can’t resist posting it here. This video is called “Plaid Dreams” and was produced by Disneyland Guest Relations Cast Members circa 2001. It’s full of in-jokes and faces that will be familiar to anyone who was a frequent visitor or cast member at Disneyland from 1999-2002.
The first part of this video is borderline offensive at parts and just plain bizzare for the rest. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered how well the Disneyland Tour Guide costume would work as a drag, this video is, how should I put it, revealing. (But totally SFW)
The second, and longer, part is more of a traditional Disneyland Cast Member produced video. Highlighting Guest Relations and touring California Adventure. It was fun to see familiar faces in there, including Jorge and Jason (Progressland).
The video description claims Cynthia Harriss put the kabosh on this series after seeing just this first video. I can see why.
Hey, the Tour Guide in drag gave me my spiel test! :)
OK, I think there were definitely some drug-induced moments at the beginning and the end, but the second part is definitely a keeper. What a nice tribute to the people who do a very thankless job for guests. Obviously, many of them take pride in their work while not taking themselves too seriously.
As for the drag queen tour guide…um…yeah, right.
What scares me is that the guy actually looked good in that uniform! When he wasn’t screaming, that is.
