Going Backstage after Fantasmic

[ttztotdca50]

I forgot that I was going to post this. It was about a month ago. Fantasmic! had just let up, and we were being escorted towards Main Street. Remember had just been cancelled due to "wind conditions at high conditions". There was absolutely no one moving on Main Street, and so a bunch of cast members were heading some of us to the Coke Corner. They were actually leading us backstage, where they were practically shoving us behind the Emporium! It was really cool! It was at night, but I could still tell that we were walking behind the Main Street Shops. We also walked right by the Jungle Cruise boat storage and what appears to be a break room (there was a soda machine and a guy smoking inside). For those of you who want to see backstage, it's actually not much. Just a ton of pipes, a ton of little electric cars, and almost everything was painted green!

Has this happened to anyone lately?

My boyfriend and I couldn't take waiting any longer for Roger Rabbit's CTS (we had already been in line 45 minutes behind some really annoying kids), so we went out a door that said Exit, that actually led us backstage! It was awesome! We didn't want to get in trouble, so we quickly found the door that said, "To Toontown" and left. There wasn't a lot to see, just some storage buildings it looked like, but now I can say I've been backstage!

We had the same experience one time leaving the park when it was really crowded. We were ushered behind the Main Street shops also. I had the privilage once of getting to go through the costume department back stage. A friend of mine worked there and she got permission to show us around. It was really neat. Rows and rows and rows of costumes! It was fun trying to guess where each one was worn. As we were leaving, we saw Chip & Dale with their heads off!! They were heading towards the doors to go out into the park. I tried not to look!

Oooh! That is so cool! Although... I probably wouldn't want to see some headless characters - probably would give me nightmares for the rest of my life!!

My GradNite was 1982 and my school had early entry. We got Tomorrowland to ourselves for an hour, and then the rest of the schools came in. (Space Mountain! NO Lines! WooHOO!) We entered the park through a big gate and walked through a backstage area into Tomorrowland. There wasn't anything to see, just alot of blank walls. I didn't realize it was backstage. I was just thinking Where on earth are they leading us?

I work there now and you are right there is nothing backstage but you have to know ware to go if you go to the small worl parade giant door behind that door is a road that leads you right ware the floats are parked I have seen almost every backstage area at the park all almost the same the coolest place was when I was backstage during fantasmic on TSI and it is busy people getting in place also the best spot is while the floats are going out for the parade you can see the music and the parade and the characters getting ready but not with their heads off I have seen mickey Donald and Goofy with their heads off I know who plays them haha well thats what I have this is From a DL CM the True Cool Story haha!!

I don't know if this is considered backstage but; My brother and I were waiting in line for Indy, and he had to go the the bathroom! I told a castmember and she took us to the break area for the castmembers. While my brother was in the bathroom, I noticed on the wall there was a list of what to do, what not to do, how to dress,and how not to dress. It was coooooool!!

My grad nite was in 1998. We were lead backstage to get into the park. We entered behind Splash Mountain. Similar to Ezra, I was wondering where we were going! I wish I would have payed more attention now, but I was so excited to get into the park, I wasn't as attentive as I normally am. (I hadn't been to DL in 4 years)

Oops, so sorry I forgot CSD(Ca Screamin dude), I will remember that, I just have to hurry up and type fast because I am very busy, some of you can relate. Like you said some times we work 3-4 hours straight we are very tierd and we always still have time to visit the site you being a cast member should know.
