Future Disney Cabinet

The FDC, short for "Future Disney Cabinet", is a Disney fan group which began in Spring 1992 as part of the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.disney. It started as something of an inside joke, based on the signature block of community member Sean Squier stating that he was the Future CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Others picked up on the idea and took on imaginary titles for the roles they would someday have when Squier takes over Disney. Some of these made-up titles were "Theme-park Walkaround Belle" or "Walt Disney Imagineering Director of Special Projects". [1] FDC members would post to the community from the point-of-view of the characters they were playing; on some days there were more than a hundred FDC-related posts, drawing some complaints from people who wanted to separate the FDC into its own newsgroup. Eventually the FDC claimed more than 300 members.

In November 1994, a TinyMUCK named "FDCMuck" opened as a place for FDC members to chat and roleplay interactively. It started with about a hundred players, most of whom were active members of rec.arts.disney; it served as something of a refuge from the newsgroup. Eventually it became a tight-knit community of its own, and at its peak the muck had grown to more than six hundred players, most of whom had no prior affiliation with the newsgroup or the FDC.
The muck has been in decline for the past few years, as many players were lost due to unannounced moves of the server to new addresses.
