Dedicated Disneyland Employee Owns Her Role as the Park's Evil Queen
With Disney having cornered the market on cutesy, it's pretty easy to forget that some of the company's characters are supposed to be evil beyond redemption.

In this video shot at Disneyland, an employee playing the Evil Queen is asked by an 8-year-old guest if she is "still jealous of Snow White."
What follows is a magical journey to the "dark side" of Disney guided by the only park staffer who can tell a small child to stop crying and keep their job.
