   • 2003, Cory Doctorow, chapter 6, in Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom‎:

     “It’s not good stewardship. If the guests wanted to walk through a funhouse with guys jumping out of the shadows saying ‘booga-booga,’ they’d go to one of the Halloween Houses in their hometowns. The Mansion’s better than that. I can’t be a part of this plan.”
