@OP> might be putting people on rides soon.
Will keep eyes on news for FALLOUT from this.
Long list of FAILS at Disneyland and most are fault of visitors and this is an oldy but goody.
an 18-year-old man drowned while attempting to swim across the "Rivers of America". He and his 10-year-old brother stayed on Tom Sawyer's Island past closing time by hiding in an area that is off-limits to guests. When they wanted to leave the island, they decided to swim across the river even though the younger brother did not know how to swim. The victim attempted to carry his younger brother on his back and drowned halfway across. His body was found the next morning. The younger brother was able to stay afloat by "dog paddling" until a ride operator rescued him.
And another
an 18-year-old man drowned in the Rivers of America while trying to pilot a rubber emergency boat from Tom Sawyer's Island that he and a friend had stolen from a "cast members only" area of the island

2013 is the Stone Age - OK Yes given Green still gets Stoned as often as possible but dat said.
In April 2013, Disney voluntarily closed Space Mountain, the Matterhorn Bobsleds, and Soarin' Over California due to OSHA-related issues so employee safety protocols could be reviewed. Downtime for each attraction differed, with Space Mountain being closed the longest at one month. The safety review stemmed from seven OSHA fines that were initiated from a contractor injury in November 2012, where the worker fell down the outside of the Space Mountain building and broke several bones. OSHA fined
Toontown
On May 28, 2013, two small explosions in trash cans caused the Toontown area of the park to be evacuated. Officials believe the explosion was caused by a plastic bottle filled with dry ice taken from a nearby ice cream stand. The bomb squad was called to investigate. No injuries were reported. A 22-year-old concession stand worker from Long Beach, California is accused of creating and detonating the two dry ice bombs. He pled not guilty to the charges.
On November 27, 2009, the ride broke down while a quadriplegic guest was on the ride. The guest was stuck in the Goodbye Room for between 30-40 minutes before being evacuated. As he suffered from medical conditions that was aggravated by the "blaring music" and inability to exit the ride, he sued Disney for not having adequate evacuation procedures for disabled guests on that ride, and for not providing the proper warning developed for those who could not evacuate during a ride stoppage. On March 26th, 2013, a jury awarded the man US$8000.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Main article: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
On September 5, 2003, a 22-year-old man died after suffering severe blunt trauma and extensive internal bleeding in a derailment of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster that also injured 10 other riders. The cause of the accident was determined to be improper maintenance. Investigation reports and discovery by the victim's attorney confirmed the fatal injuries occurred when the first passenger car collided with the underside of the locomotive. The derailment was the result of a mechanical failure which occurred due to omissions during a maintenance procedure. Fasteners on the left side upstop/guide wheel on the floating axle of the locomotive were not tightened and safetied in accordance with specifications. As the train entered a tunnel the axle came loose and jammed against a brake section, causing the locomotive to become airborne and hit the ceiling of the tunnel. The locomotive then fell on top of the first passenger car, crushing the victim.

This will make Anon E happy. Its a serious inside view of what it takes n up's and downsides of someone that wore a Fur suite at Disneyland. Wot it took to get in which ain't so easy.
I was a Disney Character: A Tale of Blood, Sweat and Fur
From A Childhood Fascination
To his bottom line which is a cool view
Reflections of a character
It's been several years since my exposure to backstage Disney. And in case you're wondering, being at the park each and every day didn't diminish my love for the place. I still turn into that young boy whenever I walk down Main Street and I still rush to get my photo taken with a character. In fact, having worked at Disney and going behind-the-scenes only fed my craving to be part of the magic.
Come to think of it, I guess I'm just like that saucy, rebel mermaid Ariel. I just want to be part of that world.

...Pretty much. 10 bucks and hour and a break every 30 mins on top of it is appealing to lots of people; not just me by the way
Except it's about the guests and making them happy, not just derping around and making yourself happy like you would do at a con.

Yes! I'm so stoked for it. And that's fine, everything is totally set up. I'm going to go to the Club 33 restaurant :D
