Your suspicion is wrong. It's one of those things that you have to admit is pretty impressive about Disney World from an engineering perspective, even if you hate Disney from a business perspective.

    my primary point is that they're not underground, because, you know, swamp:

    The largest system of utilidors is beneath Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, but they are not a basement, contrary to popular belief. Because of an elevated water table, most of these tunnels were actually built at ground level, and the Magic Kingdom was built above that.

    The distinction between "the tunnels are underground" and "the tunnels are above ground, it's just that the stuff visitors walk on is then above that" seems like a pretty subtle one.

    There's a horror story or three, maybe an scp, that is about that.

    My understanding is the performers and cast members are paid like garbage which is wild considering how much it costs to go to Disney.

    this is true! my friend started in the college program then dropped out to disney full-time. which is i'm sure their goal. we lost touch shortly after we broke up (happiest breakup i've ever had) so i have no idea what's going on in their life. alls i know is they got my favorite chinese restaurant turned into a church and i hate them.

    hold on hold on hold maybe i should write a song about how much i hate this girl.
