That's a good nametag!
We've only seen "Push" once and we thought he was too funny!!! He was commenting on my Purdue shirt I had on. I wish they had him out more. Does anyone know if there are specific times he's out?!
I have seen him at kind of random times, but I'd ask a Tomorrowland CM. They have all that kind of stuff on what we call the TeleCast... it's common things guests ask about that we keep in a small booklet.

I actually caught a guy working and voicing "PUSH". I didn't notice him (live) while I was videotaping the trash can, but I saw him in the video, with a wireless headset, and black bag working the remote. He blended in the crowd extremely well. It's very funny. He had some problem (maybe a dying battery) with his microphone, and had to bring "PUSH" back in to rest.

Hojo by Disneyland, has multiple cams that rotate live feeds from Disneyland resorts!!! It's called the "Mattercam". This is the website:

Ok that is just about the coolest webcam ever. And the fact that is actual video and not slowly updated stills is cool.

I keep trying to catch the fireworks display, but I'm 2 hrs ahead, so I am usually asleep. I am wondering how well it captures the fireworks. Just wish it would show more of the inside the park. Then I could feel like I was there!

I know the site "boasts" the fireworks show. The cams look like they would show a pretty good image of the fireworks.

We love the Mattercam! We have watched the fireworks a few times...most recently one week ago. We were supposed to go to the Halloween Party last Friday, but due to unforseen circumstances, we couldn't go. So at fireworks time, I queued up a YouTube video of Halloween Screams and played it while watching the live show. Of course, you cannot see the castle effects, but you really get a perspective for where they are launched from (behind Toontown) in reference to the Matterhorn/Castle. (We also watched a YouTube video of the parade...)

Cool! Smart thinking bringing up the audio to watch with it :D
