An interesting view of the Disney-MGM Studios
Now here’s a story this morning that will certainly have Matt Hochberg from MGMStudios.org percolating with jealousy. Dewayne Bevil of the Orlando Sentinel writes about his experience during a rather interesting backstage tour at the Tower of Terror.
The folks at Disney offered me quite the treat: to hang out outside the Tower — 13 stories up. This is what we call in the biz “CrazyTalk.” I did it anyway. Was I feeling lucky?
Those catwalks aren’t all just decoration. I was taken to the level right behind the HOLLYWOOD TOWER lettering. The walkway is a few feet wide and runs a few feet above the heads of passengers at their peeking peak, right where the doors open for a look at the park.
“Crazy Talk”? Is he kidding? I hate heights, can’t stand even the idea of heights. But even I would brave it just to say I did this! Everyone talks about their dream job at Disney, well being a reporter covering the parks for the Orlando Sentinel does seem pretty darn fun!
So, when do you think they’ll add this little excursion to the “Backstage Magic” tour? I can see it now, blogging from a tether atop the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

Feeling dizzy already. No thanks!
But I agree. Reporting for the Sentinel about theme parks would be a great job. But for me, I would love to work with Dave Smith at the Disney Archives.
Yowza!

Talk about a lucky guy. What I wouldn’t give to be on that kind of a tour of Tower. It’s official: I’m jealous.
