That they put LAP BARS on Splash Mountain!!!

C'mon, man! As much as I love Disney (and that attraction) I would boycott RnRC if it was rethemed with JB or HM.![]()
My wife and I took the KTTK tour back August and the issue of the fifth park came up. The guide explained to us that WDW currently employs 60,000 people. If you figure 10,000-12,000 per park, you realize that its nearly impossible for Disney to find enough workers in the Orlando area (at least workers that fit the Disney requirements) to staff another park.
In essence, Disney has run dry the employment market, making it impossible to build another park.
My fiance worked at the MK in WDW around 74-75. He has told me plenty of stories about employees smoking illegal things, ice cream cart girls arranging to meet fathers in their rooms while the family was off at play, and Alice in Wonderland having some "private time" with several band members in the castle. Alice was caught and fired, the band members survived as they were part of the union.

I've also heard that there's the ghost a mechanic inside PoTC at Disney who died while the ride was being built and he's the reason why the ride malfunctions sometimes.
I heard about the strange mechanic guy who used to scare people at the end of Haunted Mansion,turns out it was real,and they found him behind a secret door that lead to nothing.

Rumor: That Disney was buying up property and was going to build another theme park in Branson, Missouri.
Wow. Although . . . I swear I saw a call girl in Epcot circa 1995. Nobody believed me when I got back home, but who walks around WDW in 6 inch heels and Daisy Dukes?
