I gained my first inkling of this horrible secret while slipping out the private exit at the back of the Main Street Emporium during the so-called "Keys to the Kingdom" tour last fall. A Glimpse of something we weren't meant to see, as our flustered guide suddenly insisted we had to get into the utilidor IMMEDIATELY. A massive pile of something. . . green.

Then the same thing happened after Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, and EVEN TEST TRACK.
I knew The Truth Was Out There, and I dedicated myself to finding it. Finally, in the musty back room of a shut-down
Disney Store in Duluth, a shadowy figure, dressed all in yellow, with a long, lolling tongue, whispered to me the Truth, confirmation of the theory I had been too frightened to speak out loud. . .
Disney is out to MAKE MONEY!!!
And this goes striaght to the top- Mickey Mouse, himself.

Wait, what's that pounding on my door? Are those yellow shoes? Wha....
