I had no idea Lilo and Stitch had aliens

[underwaterrhymes]

LOL. Stitch IS an alien.

[sandyapples]

Stitch is an alien. Did you think he was from earth? His disguise worked on you!

[pixy0stix]

Did you think Stitch was a blue Koala with big ears?

[panbitch]

So you bought that whole "Stitch is my dog" line?

[killercupcake]

He's got 6 arms, antennae, and can talk. lol

Stitch is one of my favorite Disney characters, actually. I love him.

I used to have a Stitch stuffed animal that sat on my desk. Granted, I worked for Disney at the time, but I was also 28 years old when it came out.

I am not shy about mentioning it. I love Disney.

This is in my top two coolest things ever. You're right up there with the guy in my graduate program who was a backup dancer in Captain EO.

Ummm. I still have that Stitch.
"What's your badness level?"

My kids love interacting with Stitch!

Haha.

It's really not that special, especially when you live in Orlando and everyone and their dog works for one of the theme parks.

It was a lot of fun, though. The pay was shit - even in an office role - but the perks couldn't be beat.

What did you do? I imagine this really amazing job where you're doing PR and scheduling events and it's a high paced, glorious job. Please tell me that's what it was like!

I did a lot. I started in Quick Service Food and Begerage, then did The Great Movie Ride and was a campus rep for my university. And then I moved onto Recruiting and finally Events.

Most roles are not glamorous at all. iIRC, they employed 60,000 people in just Orlando when I worked there.

But, they do company culture. very well. You get into the parks for free except during major holidays, you get friends and family in for free, hotel discounts, and they often do team building when rides open or movies debut. My boss once had us come in early in the morning on the weekend shortly after Animal Kingdom opened and got us on one of the safari vehicles they use to feed the animals so the giraffes were coming right up to us.

And usually your friends work for the parks too, so a lot of socializing takes place drinking around the world at Epcot. It's a fun place to work.

Does anyone go to Epcot for any reason other than drinking around the world?

Not in my circle, no.

Well, we'd go for food and wine and candlelight, but those also involved drinking. LOL. Epcot is the best.

The guy I was dating for like a month turned out to suck. But we had planned to go to Epcot the day before a work conference next month. I'm hoping that one of the dates I have between now and then turns out to be cool enough to take his place. I love Epcot tickets as a work travel expense.

I'm not liking because he sucked but because I think you will find someone cool enough.

[stellas]

OMG StPete. Are you competing in the ditz Olympics this month? Lol

[frenchies]

We just watched this movie the other night. I think it's an underappreciated gem.

[sequins]

This is on my watchlist on netflix. I'll watch it over the weekend. Sounds adorable.

It's so cute. And the soundtrack is all Elvis-themed and a lot of fun.

Lilo and Stitch is my favorite non-princess Disney movie. It's a fun story, great music, and has wonderful themes. The alien stuff is just the vehicle.

[cleo29]

Chicken Little is another one of m favorite underrated Disney movies. Home On The Range is cute too and it has good music.
