Working at a Disney theme park is very different from any other sort of amusement employment. Usually those mainly involve travelling out to the middle of nowhere to get to work, and then somehow finding your way back at the end of the day, when the scant public transport has already dried up and driving an hour or so isn't so appealing.

Being a Disney employee means eating, breathing and living your time at the park - literally, because most people who work at the parks have accommodation there too. Oh, and they call you "cast members" for some reason.

It's more like working at a summer camp than anything else, both because everyone has to keep up a hysterical level of false cheeriness, and because living in such close quarters means everyone ends up having sex. Which doesn't really fit into the squeaky clean image of the Disney Corporation, does it? But it's also not exactly surprising. These are high-stress jobs, full of hard work and low pay, often in sweltering conditions.

You need to blow off some steam.

And you're all probably young, still relatively hormone-ridden, and all living under one roof. That's like a tinder box on top of a bonfire with somebody throwing gasoline on top. People are going to bang. They frequently do, in fact, so next time you see Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty making goo-goo eyes at each other across the Magic Kingdom, they might not just be in character...
