The story so far...

This morning (Monday) I went and met up with a lovely lady who at present shall remain nameless who about a decade ago had worked at Disneyland and various other parks over a period of about 8 years. She was really helpful with my enquiries, and I've got a tape-recording of the interview, which I may transcribe, if I get the time. Working at Disney sounds kinda cool; I reckon my park is gonna have to be fairly shitty. Eep.

In addition to this, I have been doing a bit of research on the web over the past weeks:
General Fun Facts about Disney Characters - a buttload of interesting info, but much of which has been dispelled by my consulting party;
The Walt Disney Company - Tokyo Disneyland Audition Information - just seeing what's out there at present, and what the audition process is like.
Wikipedia: Disneyland - fantastically in-depth article about the park. Info on other Disney parks can be selected from this page.

With regard to the suits, and interesting link follows:
Fursuit FAQ Table of Contents - all you need to know about making a "furry" suit.

And just for shits and giggles (thanks to Brian for this one):
The Geek Hierarchy | The Brunching Shuttlecocks - because the mention of furries reminded me of it.

5 minutes to stage time!

Welcome to Suit Up's production blog, where you'll be able to stay up to date with all the research and hard-work that intend to do towards the production of this Internet-based series. I don't want to say too much at present; in it's intial stages, this is largely intended as a means for my colleagues and other interested parties to see what's happening with the show. Eventually, it's going to be much bigger. Dream a little dream of me.
