Heyy! Welcome to the forum! That's so cool that you work at Disney World! I was like 3 the first time I went there. Love that place. Getting super expensive to go to now though =/

Welcome! I grew up in College Park and my brother was The Beast in Beauty and the Beast live on stage. I think that a full restoration would be nice. I am a bigger fan of resto-modding. That is keeping the original look and feel of the car, but with modern amenities.

I have collected lots of parts to start on a full restoration. The rest of the stuff I need will have to be new likt the interior uphostery kit and weather strips. I also need to find a good dash pad. I am thinking about adding bucket seats and a console with auto on the floor. I also want to get two more of the checker flag wheels so I have a set of four for Monte. I want to keep the six and the turbo because it is what makes the car unique.
Working at Disney is cool. I hope your brother enjoyed it. Gregg

Thanks for the welcome. Disney is a really cool place to work. I work back stage or behind the scenes. I am one of the guys who works on the air conditioning systems, the kitchen equipment, electrical systems, and plumbing systems. I never know what I will be doing because my role or job is so diverse. I also get to meet different guest from all over the world. Another cool thing is that I can transfer to new locations every six months if I choose to. In the 12 years I have worked for Mickey Mouse I have worked in Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. I have also worked at The Caribbean Beach Resort, The All Star Resort, The Contemporary Resort, and The Port Orleans Resort twice. Enjoyed it so much I had to go back and is where I am now. With each tranfer it is like starting a new job without all the negative aspects of a new job. I expect to retire here. You are correct that it is pricey but when everything is considered it is still a bargain. Where else can you experience everything that Disney has to offer at any price? I hope at some point you are able to return. Gregg
