**Summary:**
* The author, a former Disney employee, claims to be the biggest Disney fan, but can't frequently discuss it to maintain "Street Credit".
* They share two things they don't miss about working at Disney:
1. Constant requests for free tickets from acquaintances.
2. Cast member relationship drama, noting that single straight male employees have a high chance of getting a girlfriend due to limited competition.
* The author recounts a story where they went above and beyond (packing a theater single-handedly and creating a fun experience with a beach ball) but were denied a "Fanatic Card" (a reward for excellent service), while others received them for less impressive feats.
* They poke fun at managers who disapproved of their unconventional methods and highlight the hypocrisy in rewarding others for less significant achievements.
