HIS HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH in my disney cast member reality,, or my s/o’s—tommy shepherd—favorite places at the disneyland parks
TOMMY SHEPHERD HAS LOVED Disneyland his whole life. Growing up with a family with a yearly pass, and an extensive number of days at the parks under their belt, Disneyland was always been a second home he knew like the back of his hand. Now in his second to last quarter of university he’s finally doing what he’s dreamed of doing since high school, joining disney’s college program. He finds himself as a character actor, which is a dream in itself. But he also finds himself falling for, and subsequently befriending, his character attendant, me, a fellow college program student. Tommy doesn’t let the grueling hours he works in both parks stop him from spending his free time in Disneyland regardless. But having someone to take to all his favorite spots at one of his favorite places in the world is even more magical than the parks themselves. Here are all of them:
