Being part of the media sometimes has its perks. Here’s a pass for a media event at Walt Disney World. This was an enormous event over an entire weekend. The media preview showcased the opening of Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney Quest. In addition, the event had sneak peaks of Mulan, which was created in Orlando, Florida on the backlot of Walt Disney World. There haven’t been many media events that I’ve been to that have been to this scale, we were treated very well.

WCW Working Media Pass

Filed under: Memories — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Mike Sheehe @ 9:12 am

I’ve worked in numerous locations to create broadcast programming and this was one that was both fun and unique. WCW decided to use the Disney MGM Studios (when they actually did production there) in Orlando, Florida to create about a month worth of programming. We utilized New York Street on the backlot to set up the main stage and audience seats. The actors/athletes were shot all over the backlot for their story-lines. It was a grueling week or so of shooting, but, we somehow managed to stay away from getting the infamous Florida rain to delay production.

The crew and talent were some of the greatest people to work with. No matter what type of image wrestling/sports entertainment has, most of the talent is amazingly professional and will do anything to get the product right. The actors/athletes took direction well and were very cordial. 

It was cool to meet some of the people that were starting out in the sports entertainment business and to see them become mega-superstars years later.
