I'm going to "cheat" and I'm going to put up a self potrait I did two years ago in drawing class. I'm pretty good at drawing. I was in eighth grade at the time, and my hair isn't usually that short. I might put up a real picture later.

"Fifteen years from now, when people are talking about 3-D, they will talk about the business before 'Monsters vs. Aliens' and the business after 'Monsters vs. Aliens.' It's the line in the sand." - Greg Foster, IMAX chairman and president
I had a fully detailed post about it once in a thread, but I can't seem to find it at the moment, but in a nutshell, I worked at Magic Kingdom, OutDoor Foods (ODF). All the popcorn stands, packaged ice cream stands, and nut wagons were part of the ODF division, along with a large Beverage stand on Main Street, and a packaged Frozen Lemonade stand in Frontierland. During my seven months, I worked as a popcorn vendor, ice cream vendor, nut vendor (the greater half of my time in Florida was on the Adventureland Nut Wagon), and they occassionally gave me shifts as relief, stocker, or call-in-factor. My pictures were from my last day at work, which was, unsurprisingly, at AdventureNut.
Couldn't find the fully detailed post, but I found a long post that had a list of our stands, so here it is. The ones in bold are the ones I worked the most in each land during my time down there:
Main Street:
Popcorn 1 - City Hall Popcorn (in front of City Hall) Ice Cream 1 - Expo Ice Cream (in front of Exposition Hall, but Exposition Ice Cream is too long to say over the radio)
CappCart - They removed it shortly before I joined the program, but it was like MSB, except underneath the train station
MSW - Main Street Water (seasonal, by the Ice Cream Shoppe)
The Castle Hub:
MSB - Main Street Beverage (coffee, cappucino, espresso, and fountain drinks, to your left exiting Main Street) Popcorn 2 - Castle Popcorn (To your right exiting main street
Ice Cream 2 - Castle Ice Cream (seasonal, right by the castle)
Ice Cream 4 - Rose Garden Ice Cream (seasonal, next to Popcorn 2)
Castle Beverage - same name (seasonal, right by the castle)
Adventureland:
Popcorn 3 - Jungle Popcorn (by Jungle Cruise entrance) Adventure Nut - Adventureland Nut Wagon (ahh, my second home at Magic Kingdom, by Pirates and Enchanted Tiki Room. I have the entire pre-show for ETR memorized.)
*Because Stands West has several stands here (including the Eggroll stand), we only have the need for two
Frontierland: Popcorn 4 - Frontier Popcorn (by Pecos)
Popcorn 9 - Mountain Popcorn (in front of Big Thunder Mountain)
Ice Cream 6 - Fry Ice Cream (near the McDonald's Fry Cart)
Ice Cream 7 - Splash Ice Cream (near...Big Thunder Mountain) Ice Cream 8 - Thunder Ice Cream (near...Splash Mountain)
Ice Cream 9 - Bear Ice Cream (in front of Country Bears)
FLEM - Frontier Lemonade (In front of Big Thunder Mountain)
Splash Beverage - same name (seasonal, in queue line of Splash Mountain)
Liberty Square: Popcorn 5 - Liberty Popcorn (in front of Liberty Bell) Ice Cream 10 - Diamond Ice Cream (in front of Diamond Horseshoe)
Ice Cream 11 - Mansion Ice Cream A (in front of Mansion queue)
*Ice Cream 12 - Mansion Ice Cream B was removed long before I was there because 3 ice cream stands was enough for Liberty Square
Fantasyland:
Popcorn 6 - Pooh Popcorn (seasonal, and the worst stand of all. Formally "Honey Popcorn", because it was the only stand that made popcorn with sugar instead of salt, but the wagon itself is cursed and no one likes working it so we never assign anyone there and only open it if we really really need to)
Ice Cream 13 - Peter Pan Ice Cream (Used to be by the Small World Exit/Stroller Parking, but we moved it down lower towards the restrooms so it's less crowded) Ice Cream 14 - Dumbo Ice Cream (in front of the Village Haus) Fan Nut - Fantasyland Nut Wagon (I loved opening this wagon because it was so easy to do in the morning)
Ice Cream 15 - Toontown Ice Cream (when Fan Nut was in rehab, we changed the area to Ice Cream 15, which used to be in Toontown, thus the Toontown name in Fantasyland)
Toontown:
Popcorn 7 - Toontown Popcorn (right outside the entrance)
Ice Cream 16 - Don't know the name (removed long ago, stroller parking by the train station now occupies its space)
*I only worked at the Toontown stands during my training and if I had to give someone a break during my relief shift, which is why nothing here is bolded
Tomorrowland: Popcorn 8 - Tomorrowland Popcorn (worst place to be in the rain, it's by Astro and Space Dogs)
Ice Cream 17 - Speedway Ice Cream (right outside Indy Speedway)
Ice Cream 18 - Space Ice Cream (right in front of Space Mountain)
Ice Cream 19 - Buzz Ice Cream (seasonal, by the Buzz exit)
Tomorrowland Beverage - same name (seasonal, by Carousel of Progress)
P-Vending:
P-Vending Lemonade Carts
P-Vending Ice Cream Carts
*These carts we never used when I was there except during the really busy times, but back in the day, they'd have Parade Vendors go out with the Glow Vendors and sell Frozen Lemonade or Ice Cream to guests waiting for the parade.
The best stand to work in in terms of popcorn stand was Popcorn 6 because no one ever went there and it was hardly opened anyways. But out of the regular stands, Popcorn 7 was the best to work at all day and night, while Popcorn 1, Popcorn 9, and Popcorn 2 were the worst at all times of the day.
The best ice cream stands to work at were Ice Cream 2, and Ice Cream 8, while the worst ones were Ice Cream 13, Ice Cream 14, and Ice Cream 17.
AdventureNut was always more busy than FanNut, which hardly ever got guests. I loved opening FanNut (and on several occasions, I ended up opening and closing because my replacement would always call in sick or just not show up at all), but they always gave me closing shifts at AdventureNut because they knew they could rely on me there (and because we had a shortage of castmembers trained on nuts)

I have removed my image. HOnestly, I wouldn't have let my picture up for long, so not everybody will have seen the image. Think of it as a "limited time" thing.

Great pics, Kin00! Your costumes are better than ours for the railroad. The ones in WDW look too professional, and not "fun" (I especially love your hat, then again I have a thing for hats!).
Are you seasonal now at DLP and will work there every summer? Or was it just a one-summer thing?

I've just been looking at the other photos on this page, loads of people dont look how i imagined them to look, just goes to show how you can assume things.
There was a comment about a user who looked like Anakin Skywalker, i can't remember who that was, but maybe we should spawn a 'look-a-like' thread
The only 'person' ive been told i look like is 'Francine' or 'DW' from the childrens T.V. show Arthur, and a little Jennifer Aniston when i was 4. (but that soon faded away )
