Re: Get Ready WDW CMs

I know the markups on items are very high, at least a few hundred percent in most cases I bet. Just look at how much something that you can buy in the real world costs and how much Disney sells it for. Take batteries, for instance. According to Wal*Mart's website a 4 pack of Rayovac AA batteries is...

Re: Mean Old Farts

I can't count the number of times I've seen people just plop themselves in the middle of rows, ESP the 3d movies. But the best was when a mom & her son plopped themselves in the middle of the row (our row) on Sorin! Really? I don't think so. Told her to move on down. Glad your daughter enjoyed ...

Re: 3 men scam thousands on Disney Loophole

Depending on your financial institution, it may reduce your "available balance" by the amount of the hold, and possibly trigger automatic overdraft transfers and/or fees, even if the amount held ultimately doesn't post. I've had to spend time arguing with people with Wells Fargo Bank's cu...

Re: Tinkerbell refused entry

This incident reminds me of this video where Guests dressed up as Kingdom Hearts characters and went into Disneyland. (Well, actually, they came in their normal clothes and changed in the bathroom.) They did eventually get kicked out, but what I find funny is that they were kicked out for the same ...

Re: EEOC Rules Anti-Transgender Discrimination Unlawful

I am very optimistic about the EEOC ruling change, but from my understanding, that ruling specifically was with regards to federal jobs and positions, but generally the federal courts who oversee claims tend to follow the EEOC guidelines, but it's not quite the same thing. Sidenote here, it does app...

Now I am left suspicious that everyone here may in fact potentially be George Takei, and that is awesome.

Re: "No Smoking Here!" Means "Finish Your Cigarette" To Some People

I am pretty sure that is SOP. Depends on area. The city I'm in actually has smoking banned 15ft from the entrance of any designated area [including bars]. Further my place of employment's policy is that OSHA requires that employees be able to get to work without having to pass/be impeded by smokers...

Re: Stupid Caller Tricks...

I work in a call center myself and handle about 1k calls/day (yes that does mean about 30s per call). And there are some people who have a really horrible day and take it out on us. The job is a big part of why I actively want to make sure I'm not making theme park employees' day worse. But I feel t...

Re: Wild SGs at The World famous Jungle Cruise

Sounds like it got caught in the track switch which is rare but does happen. I've managed to get caught in it once but I was in the boat storage side and someone was being stupid and playing with the switches when my boat passed over it, and then my boat came to a screeching halt and locked into pl...
