"A Simple and Rather Pointless Boathouse Story"

- Posted By Monorail Blue - April 29th, 2002 - Source, Laughingplace.com community.

OK, for the small benefit of those who want to read something here about the boathouse, I'll tell you a simple and rather pointless boathouse story.

        When the Lion King came out, a celebrity party was scheduled in the newly refurbished Adventureland. The Boathouse was brand new, and I was a young and daring Cast Member in Main Street Restaurants. Bussers were solicited from all restaurants departments, and on the day of, I happily checked out a Bengal BBQ costume and headed to Adventureland. My first task? One other guy and I were ordered to sweep out the entire boathouse with custodial dustpans and the little hand brooms before the very first guests--the celebrities, no less--arrived to see all the work. The Jungle Cruise opened for the celebs that day (it hadn't re-opened for guests yet), and Aladdin's Oasis showed 3 shows during the course of the afternoon. 

        Anyhow, this guy and I dutifully swept the entire thing and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to see close-up and examine all the incredible detail of the building. It was such a forward-thinking design--large enough to keep hundreds of people off of the street and out of the walkways, and detailed enough to make the wait for the Jungle Cruise fun. How unfortunate that it has now (downstairs at least) largely become a property of Indiana Jones and company. Oh, well, for a brief time it was just-about-perfect--and still is not-so-bad. And I got to sweep it for the first guests! (There wasn't anything but a few leaves, but then, as always, the celebrity guest was given the royal treatment, even if the normal guest is given the short-shrift.)
