My father worked for Disney for 25 years. Around 1986 or so (when they really had perks for CMs not the half-baked stuff they do now)we had a wonderful time "backstage" in the park. We saw the movie reel that is used for Star Tours (so that it does not overheat), the hydrolics for the Indy cars, stood at the bottom of Space Mtn. (it's a looooonngg way down!)and walked through Club 33 (lovely bldg.). That sort of event made the CMs feel appreciated. Now, Disney has gone so corporate that the only ones catered to are celbs with big heads or else they charge you up the butt for something fun like that. They even cheat CMs out of their comp passes a lot of times!
