Yep, the Disney corporation went to Puerto Rico starting in the 1970s promising the locals paradise in exchange for working on the cheap in Orlando.

In 1975, I was at Grad Night ‘75. I was told by the Park’s employees that we couldn’t be kissing (my gf and I) since we were underaged. How times change, last time we were there, gays were kissing and rubbing each others. Not family friendly...

I borrowed a tombstone from the Haunted Mansion and put it in the middle of the soccer field before we played our arch rival in soccer. The coach told me that I had to return it. The 70s, what a fun decade.

“What’s the weirdest thing you ever saw working for Disney?”

Well, while working at Tokyo’s Disneyland one sunny day, we had a 6.8 earthquake rattle the trees and slosh the water around. The park, over there, is built on a liquid base so it just rolled around and not a piece of glass was broken.
Another interesting incident..
The rides over there have sponsors who get perks. Big Thunder Mountain was sponsored by the huge Mitsui bank. One day, while walking in an underground tunnel beneath the ride I found a door open that had always been locked. Being the rude, inquisitive gaijin I am, I went in. It was a bar of the first water. All brass and leather. Top notch booze. Royal Salute, and Ballantine 30 year scotch. There were several side doors which I expected led to bedrooms. As I approached one, in came a Disney ‘lead’ who lambasted me, in a whisper, and shooshed me out. Luckily, I didn’t barge into a room and upset a bank manager or a politician in flagrant delecto.
I can just picture an exec ‘dad’ taking his kids to Disney, hiring a guide to tote his kids through the rides while he diddles with his ‘nisan’ (second wife) or his pillow girl in the executive lounge.

Yes, I read once that Disney planned to raise its rates on a regular basis until gate attendance drops 10%. That hasn’t happened yet.

No. Any idea why? It isn’t illegal to have sex with minors in Japan. At least it wasn’t when I left there at the turn of the century.
After a hard push by child activists, a law was passed that stated it was illegal for a minor to accept money for sexual services from an adult. Pretty lame.

I’ve read that Club 33 has been a hangout for pedophiles, which seems plausible. As far as actual human trafficking, don’t know if anyone has claimed that.

Good.

Knock it down with wrecking balls, implode it or drive a Cat D5 into it. Rip up the foundations with heavy equipment or blow it out with dynamite.

Haul it to the ocean and dump it and use it for an artificial reef.

Put up an historical marker that says “Never Again”, and then let the place just revert back to nature.

And then say “Good riddance”.

LOL - I hope you took it back! In the olden days, the old frontier train that went around Disneyland would be stopped and “robbed” by old west outlaws with real looking guns. One day we were being “robbed” and some old granny jumped out of her seat and started beating one of the outlaws over the head with her purse until he could run out the side door and get back on his old nag that immediately tripped over a stick and threw him. Bad day for the outlaw gang

With filthy facilities makes it lose its value. Like paying for a room at the Ritz and getting Motel 6.
