Disney's Renaissance
"WHERE THE HELL IS THAT ELECTRICAN!" Tony Baxter said as he looked at the fuses to the master control system. "THIS IS BULLSHIT!"
You honestly didn't know that Mike was a member of Club 33. That was unsurprising, considering the number of backroom meetings that took place here, behind the closed doors of this most important establishment of Disney.
Cat groaned as she rolled up her sleeves. "Hold on cowboy, what seems to be the problem?"
George and Marcia took Carrie and the kids out for a walk around the park, the entire thing to get them to relax and enjoy the night air.
"The Fuses are acting up and we need to have them fixed." Tony said.
"Any reason you need me?" You asked. "Here when I could be with my family."
"Can't you fix it?" Cat said.
"Two reasons, one you are the leadership, and I can't exactly do this solo." Mike said.
"I'm an engineer, not an electrician, I work with rides and gravity! I'm not the guy who runs the lights and shining numbers. Besides it will take me all night to fix even if I didn't know what to look for."
"Mike, I have total faith in you." You said.

"Two, I don't feel comfortable dealing with them alone, not now. Call it a feeling." He replied.
"Bastards got Lazy near the end of set up…I haven't seen wires this shoddily put in correctly since I remodeled my apartment, from the last guy." Cat said. "Just flip the Green and the Red Wire there and there."
That earned a warning bell from your mind, because Mike did not get scared. And walking into the club, was the two men that wanted the meeting. The Disney Boys, and the so-called saviors of the Disney brand. Roy Disney, and Ron Miller. Both took a seat across from you. "Mike, see you brought the Goose with you."
"You know how to do that?" Tony said. "And how do you know it's those ones?"
"Didn't feel right being outnumbered." Mike stated.
"You have no idea how many times I had to fix the wiring in the Jumping Whale when Dad was working, I was surprised I didn't become an electrician because I never wanted to do it again." Cat said.
Ron Miller laughed. "Is that fear I hear Mike Eisners?"
"Award Winning Author and Amatur Elecrican, what will you surprise us with next." Tony said as he grabbed his Radio. "Marty! We're green in Frountierland! How about you!"
"No, call it a sense of nervousness from being out of my depth. You already know my answer about the Sunrise Anime. I talked to our mutual partner, and they refused."
"Good to hear you Tony!? Central WE ARE GREEN Across the BOARD! GET READY FOR THE SHOW BOYS!"
Ron seemed to be surprised. "You're looking at ten million a show, not counting ad revenue. Why would you say no?"
"Tomarrowland!" Tony said.
You took a moment to take a breath. "Because honestly, Mike doesn't trust you. And you didn't reach his price."
"Green!"
"Mike, what you want is insane." Ron stated.
"Bear Country?!" Tony said
"And that's why I refused. Gotta maximize the profits." He smiled.
"Green!"
"Well, then I think you made a mistake." Roy stated. "Cause I was hoping for a wonderful partnership."
"We're getting Static from Tomorrowland…give them a sec." Cat said
"Partnerships are always junior or Senior," Mike replied. "And honestly, there are a few times when I go with my gut, rather than my sense for business."
Tony nodded. "Adventureland?"
Roy then smiled. "Well, then we got nothing else to talk about for business. But I hope you will enjoy the show that's about to happen."
"Green?"
A moment passed, before Mike looked at his Whisky, and put it down. "What show?"
"The Plaza is all gold." Tony said.
"The one that's going to begin in a few minutes. The one we invited you for." Ron stated. "The one that, I think, will bring us back from a long slumber."
"This is Tomorrowland…LET'S POP IT!"
"Talking in fairy tales?" You asked.
Roy smiled and stood. "Well, Uncle Walt always did love his fairytales. Even if he changed them to make good stories."
He paused and you and Mike and Ron followed him out. "You know the darkest fairy tales always told moral lessons that are disturbing. And than it hit me, when John told me about how we tell stories. There is always something that is dark."
"The best advice Mr.Lee, have fun with it." Wayne Allwine said.
"There is always evil. But there is always hope. Even when darkness took over."
"I wouldn't dream of it, let us begin." He said with the power of Dracula's grandest actor.
And the entire park went dark. And everyone looked up. To see a monster that took over the sky.
And you recognized the voice that seemed to be coming from the monster in the sky.
"Finally I AM FREE!"
The entire park seemed to rumble and was given the grandest treatment of Christopher Lee's Booming voice.
"And now, this world will be mine!"
And there was nothing for a moment, and all the park lights seemed to dim or turn off as if Chernabog was sucking it all away. Some people became nervous of the sheer strangeness and sureness, of a dark night at Disneyland, with the stars above, and a monster preparing for it all.
And then a beam of light shone through the darkness from the Disney Castle. And Micky Spoke "No it will not! Not in my land!"
And then Roy smiled. Before the park exploded into light with a hellish scream from the air, all around, Chernebog, the devil of Disney, disappeared from the power of the mouse.
"There is far more than that my friend, and I think you both made a mistake. Risk-taking is coming back to Disney."
There was a laugh from Ron. "Universal is going to regret this."
At that, you realized Mike was smiling. "Well, it seems we've given them the kick in the pants they needed to try something new."
And throughout the park, there were cheers from everyone. Even you cheered.
"Why not. I'm sure Dreamworks would love the challenge."
Tony Baxter hugged Cat Powell "WE DID IT, BOYS! LETS GO!"
Reward: The Disney Renaissance has begun.
The Cheering of the Imagineers would outring the very sound system they installed. "I hope we got this on Camera?" Cat said. "I'm going to lord this over Bruce forever!"
All Disney animated Films and TV projects for the next ten years will see an increase in quality.
You have learned that Disney has invented a new Genre for itself with its stunt in Disney Land. Dark Disney.
Universal Studios has begun to lose market Value to Disney and was overtaken by it for the first time in a decade.
Meanwhile, with the Imagineers, there was much rejoicing that they managed to get the show to work, and were considered the men and women of the hour.
AN: Well... Disney is more focused on Fucking Universal, and are holding no hard feelings about us saying no.
