What are some Disneyland employee horror stories?

A Disneyland employee working in the gift shop had a customer who wanted to buy a very large stuffed animal. When the customer realized they couldn't fit it in their suitcase, the employee found a big box and some string and made a makeshift backpack out of it so the customer could carry the stuffed animal around the park. It was hilarious to see the customer walking around with this huge 'backpack'.

One horror story is about a malfunctioning ride. People were stuck on a roller coaster for hours in the dark, with no communication from the staff at first. It was really terrifying for those on the ride, especially the children.

An employee was leading a parade. Suddenly, a dog ran into the parade route. Instead of panicking, the employee picked up the dog and carried it along in the parade for a while. The dog seemed to enjoy it and the onlookers were amused.

One horror story could be about a haunted version of Cinderella's castle. Imagine at night, when the park is closed, strange noises come from the castle as if the spirits of those who built it are restless. Another could be a dark twist on Snow White, where the Evil Queen's magic goes out of control and starts to affect the whole Disneyland. For example, the forest near Snow White's ride becomes a place filled with menacing illusions.

Well, there could be horror stories related to the physical conditions. For example, the costumes that employees have to wear might be uncomfortable, especially in hot weather. They can cause sweating and chafing. Also, the backstage areas might not be as well - maintained as the front - of - house areas. There could be safety hazards like exposed wires or slippery floors. Plus, some employees might experience being overworked during special events when there are extra shows and parades to manage.

There are also stories of employees having to deal with pranksters. For example, a group of teenagers thought it would be funny to set off a fake 'emergency' near a ride. The employees had to waste time and resources dealing with this false alarm, and it was really frustrating and a bit of a horror for them as they were worried about real emergencies at the same time.

One horror story is about a malfunctioning ride. There was a time when a roller coaster at Disneyland suddenly stopped mid - ride. Passengers were left hanging upside down for several minutes, feeling terrified and worried about their safety. It was a really scary experience for them.

There are also stories about strange noises coming from certain areas of the park after closing. Some employees claim to have heard unexplained creaking and moaning sounds, as if the park had a life of its own. It gives an eerie feeling, especially when they are alone doing their closing duties.

Another horror story was the lack of proper security measures in the store. There were instances of shoplifting that put employees in danger. They were not trained well enough on how to handle such situations, and sometimes they were blamed for the losses even though it was not really their fault. Some employees also had to deal with people coming into the store just to use the facilities and make a mess without buying anything, and they had no real way to stop them.

Perhaps there were issues with workplace bullying. A new employee at Lush might have been targeted by some of the more senior employees. They could have been made fun of for not being fast enough at serving customers or for making small mistakes. This created a really hostile work environment for the new employee, and they may have even considered leaving the job because of it.
