Story. I had a boss who was demeaning, condescending and would fly off the handle at the drop of a hat. I was on a week long job by Disney and he insisted on coming along. He yelled at me before we got on the plane. All the way to Florida he berated me about some tasks I overlooked. By the time we got to the car rental place I was ready to quit. I had to drive so he could look at me and scream.
Needless to say, that night at dinner, I was on the phone home pleading with my wife to let me quit and go look for another job, despite the lack of health insurance and income I would lose. She said “suck it up buttercup.” The next morning I was going to tour the park and meet with some park personnel. My boss was right on my tail. We met at the opening ceremony for the day at the park. While I was talking to the team, he was off singing and acting all childlike around the performers, to a point he sat cross legged on the ground.
After that it was, “let’s go on it’s a small world.” I went on that freaking ride 10 times that day, all the while watching my boss acting like a freaking mousekateer.
I was actually a Disney hater most my life. Then my friend (same when I went to Epcot with) asked me and DH to come with them on vacation there (they had two little girls). Hanging out with a 6 and 10 year old all week made me a believer. It was just too much fun! And of course I discovered that for food and adult beverage, Disney is a paradise!
