I see those "Goth Land -The world's first gothic theme park!" Ai everywhere now. It reminded me of this post apocalyptic disney vibe picture from 2020. The quality really sucked, so I never uploaded it into my gallery. 🔥What are your thoughts about Ai in general? XOX  Anja LivingDreadDoll

I worked in Outdoor Vending at Disneyland, and at this time I was a closing lead. And part of my job at this time was to walk the park after it closed. Most ODV (short for Outdoor Vending) carts got taken back to our warehouse to be emptied and cleaned. But popcorn carts, while not THAT hard to move, are connected to popcorn oil cans in their support carts so rather than disconnect them, risking oil leaking onto the ground, and then having to reconnect them in the morning, these carts were cleaned on stage, and it was my job to (a) see that they were properly cleaned, and (b) to put a tarp over them so the hose crews, who clean the walkways every night, weren’t spraying grime onto the popcorn carts. I had a pattern that I followed, because the park is cleared in stages after closing time. First they move everyone to the hub (Central Plaza), then they move the crowd up Main Street. So I started in Toontown, riding a bike to get there backstage (and then using the same bike to get from cart to cart). But some days, the park cleared slowly and I had to walk instead of using a bike (and this was one of those nights).

But my pattern was to hit Toontown first, then Fantasyland’s Small World Mall, then Tomorrowland, then back through Fantasyland to Frontierland, then back through Fantasyland to Tomorrowland, and by then the park was usually clear of all guests.and I could hit the Main Street carts. I was off at 3:30am when I got through with this.

But on this particular night, there was no Tomorrowland popcorn cart as it was a slower time of year, so I was heading down Big Thunder Trail from Fantasyland to Frontierland (map attached since most of the facebook group that I invited here is more familiar with Walt Disney World -- the second arrow to the left shows about where I was, but the map is outdated as there is no longer a smoking area there, or anywhere inside Disneyland and it doesn’t include Batuu, but it’s accurate for the night I’m talking about).

When I got here, I hear my name in kind of a whisper. “Ken!” (I went by Ken then instead of Kenny). I looked around and didn’t see anyone. So I kept going. Then I heard it again, a little louder. “Ken!” I figured someone was messing with me, and pulled out my flashlight and looked through the nearby bushes, since nobody else was on the path. Again, I didn’t find anybody. I took a few more steps, and then, RIGHT IN MY EAR, I heard “KEN!”

I turned around and again saw nobody. And I had felt the breath on my ear as it was said. I booked it down the hill to the popcorn cart next to the Mark Twain dock, and again saw nobody behind me, but there were hose crews out cleaning the walkways. But their hoses were hooked up and the ground was very wet, meaning it couldn’t have been any of them.

Yo Disney that’s kinda dark
