[Previously, on Real World Disney—The cast gets up-close and
personal in the Jacuzzi, while Gaston and Aladdin arrange a risky bet early on
in the show. Plus, a romance already? Two characters hook up that you might not
have expected. See the story continue to unfold . . .]
This is the true story... of eight strangers... picked to live in a
house...work together and have their lives taped... to find out what happens...
when people stop being polite... and start getting real...The Real World DISNEY.
The sun rises over the horizon, as a rock music overture plays; the
camera spans to different shots of the Disney kingdom, ending in a frontal shot
of the mansion. The camera pans through the house, passing the glowing living
room aquarium, the pool table, and the gigantic dinner table. The camera then
peers into each of the 4 bedrooms at the snoozing cast members:
. . . Peter is observed in bright green, silk pajamas with an eye cover
on; Eric lays in the bed next to him making bubble sounds in his sleep.
. . . Cinderella is seen in her retainer and nightgown, and Pocahontas sleeps on the
floor (even though a bed is provided), the two sharing a room.
. . . further down the hall Gaston is passed out with a mirror in his
hand, and Aladdin cuddles with his lamp.
. . . in the final room at the end of the hallway Tiana sleeps soundly with
blankets over her head, and Snow White is sleeping horizontally stiff on her bed.
An alarm sounds-- 7:00am! And suddenly a cascade of small birds
rush in through the window and remove the blankets from Snow White, chirping
loudly. Two squirrels climb into the room and pull back the blinds in unison,
allowing the blinding sun to enter the dark room. A deer and his mother trot
in through the door and nudge Snow White awake. One of the birds
swoops down to press the “dismiss” button and Snow White sits up, stretching
and yawning.
Snow White: Ooh, what a beautiful
day!
Tiana: (Half awake) Tell those
damn birds to stop chirping.
The birds open up the drawers and pull out Snow White’s blue and yellow
dress and drop it over her, as the fawn finds her red cape and attaches it to
the back.
Snow White: Come on! It’s time to
make breakfast!
The animals rush down the stairs with Snow White behind them.
Hours later, the rest of the characters trickle down the steps. Eric is
the first to enter the kitchen.
Eric: Crap, we must have left the
door open again. First the frog, now this!
Snow White: Oh these are mine.
They befriended me in the forest during my time of need. And ever since, they’ve
been my little helpers. Aren’t they just adorable?
She pats one of the deer on the head. One of the chipmunks climbs up
Eric’s pants.
Eric: Umm . . . are they . . . trained?
Snow White: Of course! Who do you
think made this breakfast?
A squirrel is seen stirring the oatmeal with its tail, and the birds
bathe in the pitcher of milk; one of the deer sneezes in the eggs.
Eric: I think I’ll pass on
breakfast today.
Cinderella descends the stairs.
Cinderella: Yummy! Do your animals
turn into coachmen?
Snow White: No they don’t . . .
Cinderella: Then what use are
they?
Peter Pan: Omigod, it’s an
infestation! Someone call an exterminator!
Snow White: It’s okay Peter,
they’re my friends.
One of the birds poops on Peter’s shoulder. Peter shrieks and flies out
of the room.
Gaston and Aladdin come down together.
Gaston: (To Aladdin) And that’s
why you don’t watch movies with ugly girls right before you go to bed.
They both pause when they enter the kitchen.
Aladdin: So ... you wanna get take out?
Gaston: Hell yea.
They turn around and exit the mansion just as Pocahontas walks in the
kitchen.
Pocahontas: Wow, I’m totally
feeling the vibe in here. I didn’t know we could bring our animals. I have
a raccoon and hummingbird.
Snow White: Bring them along! The
more the merrier!
Pocahontas: Awesome. So is there a
special occasion for all this food you've made?
Snow White: Well, I wanted it to
be a surprise, but some of my friends are going to come and visit me today!
There’s seven of them, but you will hardly notice they’re here.
Tiana enters the kitchen with circles under her eyes.
Tiana: Do you have to wake up by
your animals every single morning? They’re loud, they smell, and they leave
droppings all over our room!
Pocahontas: It is the natural way
of waking up. We all should wake up like that; ditch the electronic alarm
devices and let nature rise us out of our beds.
Snow White: I agree!
Cinderella: My Fairy Godmother was
supposed to wake me up... but she didn’t. What the heck happened to her?
A giggle is heard in the guest room.
Tiana: Is someone in there?
She walks down the hall and opens the guest room door; Tiana screams
and shuts the door closed again.
Pocahontas: What happened? Should
I grab my spear?
Tiana: Yes, spear my eyes. I want
to destroy the image of what I just saw.
The Fairy Godmother appears with a sheet wrapped around her.
Cinderella: Fairy Godmother!
Fairy Godmother: I’m sorry, Tiana.
I didn’t mean for anyone to see that. That last one was his idea.
The Genie comes in behind her, smiling.
Genie: Ladies, good morning. I
have to return to my lamp, but I’ll be seeing you tonight (he winks at the
Godmother). Come give me a rub anytime.
He poofs into a blue mist and disappears.
Fairy Godmother: I love when he
does that.
Cinderella: Okay, eww. I would ask
you to dress me but I don’t know if that wand is clean anymore.
Fairy Godmother: Oh don’t be
ridiculous, child. It’s just a little innocent fling.
Cinderella: Whatever.
Suddenly, the front door bursts open and a loud “Hi Ho!” resounds
through the mansion.
Snow White: (Jumping up and down)
They’re here!
She runs into the living room followed by the animals.
Tiana: What did they just call
her?
Doc, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Grumpy, and Dopey march into the
house in single file. Snow White runs up to them and gives them each a kiss on
the forehead.
Snow White: How I’ve missed you so
much! What do you think of our new giant cottage?
Doc: It’s just swell! Right men?
Happy: I love it!
Sneezy: It’s a little dusty.
Sleepy: How many beds are there?
Bashful: There’s so many pretty
ladies here.
Grumpy: It sucks.
Dopey picks his nose.
Just then, Peter Pan flies down the stairs.
Peter Pan: What was all that noise
I hea . . . (he pauses) Why, hello.
Later that night, the characters decide to treat their guests to a good
time and hit up the hot new club downtown: “Club Mick” . . . A long line
leads out of the building, with Goofy as the head bouncer.
Tiana: Man, it’s going to take
forever to get in.
Snow White: What’s that? Oh,
great! Dopey says he’s got it.
Dopey walks over to Goofy and the two exchange a short dialogue. Goofy
chuckles and pulls back the rope. Dopey proudly looks back and enters the club.
Tiana: He’s got such a way with
words.
Inside the club, blaring music pounds against the walls, the bar active
with drinkers.
Gaston: (To Aladdin) I’m going to
get 10 numbers tonight. Easy.
Aladdin: Remember, guys don’t
count.
Snow White: Let’s dance!
The dwarves all shout “Hooray!” and race under the feet of the other
dancing people. Dopey, Happy, and Doc all stand on each other’s shoulders to
dance with Snow White. Sneezy and Sleepy dance with them in a circle as Peter
Pan approaches.
Peter Pan: May I cut in?
Sneezy and Sleepy dance with Peter as Grumpy heads to the bar.
Grumpy: I’ll have a potion on the
rocks.
An old lady with a dark hood turns around. She has missing teeth and a
mole on her nose.
Old Lady Bartender: Coming right
up.
Grumpy: Say lady, you look
familiar.
Old Lady Bartender: I don’t know
what you’re talking about. Is there a woman with you with skin like snow and
hair as dark as night?
Grumpy: Yeah, what’s it to you?
Old Lady Bartender: Well, we make
a special apple martini that she might like . . .
Meanwhile at the booths . . .
A tall, slender man approaches Pocahontas.
Man: Excuse me. You. Dance. Like?
Pocahontas: Do I want to dance?
Sure. What’s your name?
Man: Tarzan. My name.
Pocahontas: I like your style.
Cinderella and Eric get up to dance as the DJ plays “I Just Can’t Wait
to Be King.”
As Tiana waits at the bar, a man approaches her. He gives her a red
rose.
Man: Miss, I love this song. Would
you care to dance?
Tiana: Sure.
Taking the rose, she gulps down a ‘Swamp on the Beach’ potion and
begins to dance with the man.
Halfway through the song, the man morphs into a huge hairy beast.
Man: Dammit. I’m sorry. Sometimes
I turn into a Beast. Little things trigger it. Do you mind?
Tiana: No, I don’t.
Man: You don’t?
Tiana: You have no idea how much
I can relate.
Gaston: (Pushing the Beast) What
the hell is he doing here!
Next time on Real World: Disney—the truth about Gaston’s past comes
out, and the characters discover the Confessional room. Plus jealousy, lies,
and romance. Which two cast members will share a kiss? Anything can happen when
the cameras are rolling . . .
