Re: Remembering Pleasure Island

My AC canteen sits proudly atop the hollowed-out head of a Yakoose. The AC canteen is one of my prized possessions. I'm curious to see what one of those would fetch on eBay. Not that I'd sell it......just curious. Also in the collection: an original Manican, a Toxic Waste barrel from the Cage and I...

Today (actually yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to post) marks the 3rd anniversary of the demise of Pleasure Island. I know it was loved by some more than others, but I would like to ask everyone for a moment of silence in rememberence of this solemn occasion. .............................. ......

Re: Brazil!!

Re: Rude CMs............ On Their Day Off!

The quickest road to termination ran through Pleasure Island. It happened more times than I can count. A CM would come in, get drunk and get beligerent, or get caught underage drinking. As security was escorting them out, they pull out their ID and yell "BUT I WORK HERE!!!!". :duh: Goodbye...

Re: Official SGT ADD thread

So if a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a cricket with a wooden leg to kick all of the seeds out a dill pickle?

Re: Florida Cast....

There is nothing worse than having your ID pulled right there in front of hundreds of people, walked to Security office, and put on suspension pending termination. Or if you are a CP, being driven to your 'dorm' and given 30 minutes to pack so you can get a free ride to airport. Working at PI this ...

Re: Guests Speak: What Monorails Mean to Me

Ummmm, you probably shouldn't have posted that story here. I hope the guy no longer works in monorails, or anywhere else at WDW, or he could be in some deep doodoo. :eek: It has been over 20 years since that happened (got my math wrong in my post) so I figured it was probably safe to tell that story.

Re: Guests Speak: What Monorails Mean to Me

I was looking a thread that I could have something meaningful to contribute for my first post and this is one I definately have a story to tell. Well....two actually. I have been going to the world since '83 and the monorails were always facinating to me. I tried to learn as much as I could (hopeful...
