I'm not a cast member but I wanted to know where in entertainment you worked, In the years72-77 I was there every Christmas for two weeks and saw a lot of shows maybe i saw you.

I was the Secretary for the Characters, so I was behind the scenes mostly; except for the start of each of the parades, I worked the Electrical Parade, America on Parade and all of the skits throughout the park. Thanks for responding! Donna

I wasn't a character, I responded to the letters the guests wrote to the different characters, I worked alot of the shows, as in taking notes as they practiced and choreographed shows. Worked the beginning of each new parade, did payroll etc. Thanks for responding! Donna

I have been searching the Internet for Nancy Garrett. She played Cruella De Vil in the Christmas parade with my dad and his dogs (live animals) in the 80's. Do you know if she is still around. We live in Florida now and would like to look her up.

I found several Nancy Garrett's from Florida in a matter of seconds. You've been through all of them?

Hopefully MKT will respond soon. My husband was adopted at birth and I found his biological family in less than a month and then I found his sister's biological mother as well, so yes I do know how to search facebook. I also know using all available resources can be very helpful. Even though it was posted a long time ago (wm49rs) she was mentioned directly in this thread and the person who mentioned her was active on this website within the last few weeks.

Hopefully MKT still has his contacts considering his last post in this thread was twelve years ago.

Sorry I can't be of help. I left Disney as a Cast Member in 2003, the US in 2007, and have only been doing very occasional government relations and consulting work for TWDC Latin America on a freelance basis since 2011.

I'm not much help in this one.

Facebook is a good resource.

Thank you.
