Mazes and Mouses

The Disney tunnels are cool. I got to take a tour when I was at BCC in the Computer Club there. It was a good excuse for a trip to Disney. We parked right behind Main Street USA.
We saw costuming and a set of rooms where all the animatronics and audio for the park are controlled. When we went, the audio was being changed out from the original 8-track tapes to solid state memory. The Hall of the Presidents didn't use 8-track, it used 35mm film as audio in a huge continuous loop you could see. Then, at the end of the tour we were supposed to leave and pay to get in at the gate. The club's adviser didn't like that. Instead, we snuck into the park and met up later when the park was closing.
