Fun Find Friday

Location: Frontierland, Magic Kingdom
A few years ago we took a look at the barrel
found near the exit of Peter Pan's Flight which honors a Lost Boy
who is named Richard Le Pere, Jr. Amazingly enough, this "Lost Boy"
also has a reference to him near the exit of Big Thunder Mountain
Railroad:

Here we can see that according to the crate here in
Frontierland, Richard Le Pere Jr. is the Fire chief, but is there a
hidden meaning behind his name being here? Of course there is!
Richard Le Pere Jr. is a very real person with a very real
connection to the Walt Disney World Resort. As time goes on, the
crate here will switch as time goes by due to one very specific
circumstance: who the fire chief of Reddy Creek Fire Department is.
that's right! Richard Le Pere, Jr. is the actual
fire chief of Walt Disney World's fire department. Hidden inside the
crate is an actual fire hose that the actual fire department can use
in case of a dire situation. Just another clever way to disguise a
modern day tool in a setting where that modern appliance wouldn't be
found.
