Re: No, Sorry, I Do NOT Work Here!

I get people mistaking me for a CM based on my dress, which is usually a bit nicer than the average guest and I still have the "Disney look" of short hair etc. What perplexed me was when I was in my Matterhorn costume (lederhosen or ski tights) or my Monsanto ATIS polyester jump suit..... ...

Re: A Case of Mistaken Identity?

So, I was at my cart tonight, along the exit path for World of Color, granted we also have guests that try to enter the area to get to their respective holding areas (yellow and red are on the other side of where I was). I had an older lady, very determined to get some information. She was walking ...

Re: things you could do without seeing or watching someone do

place: Fantasyland Skyway position: dispatch A man in his 70's, maybe 80's, gets into a bucket with a woman in her early 20's. The minute the bucket dispatched the woman drops out of sight and it swings forward as it hooked the cable and I saw her going to town on the old boy. Eck! I called the spot...

Re: What Ride Did A Guest Insist DL Had

Mmmmm Disneyland Guides, I wish I had kept the guidebooks they gave out in the 1960's and 70's....

Along with all my Mad Magazines, comic books and even Boy's Life.

Re: What Ride Did A Guest Insist DL Had

The Loop Trainer was a good ride. I remember the Corkscrew closed down and the Boardwalk area was starting to be rebuilt. That happened when I was in ROP. The Boomer-rang is bumpy. Extreme plunge, I would not go on it. If I wanted to get soaked, I would go and hang out on the bridge looking at the ...

Re: If the line is over there, DON'T stand over here and make a new line!

Title says it all. I'm not sure why guests do it either. You can have a healthy line going and up comes SG standing completely out of line demanding service. See now, I always found the opposite true. We'd have four lines open on Small World, two crowded and two with no one in them. The rule for SG...

Re: Funny Radio Calls!!

Hey, do you know why security (and supervisors) wear ear pieces with their walkie talkies?? Security guard at DL was using his Motorola radio to help subdue a violent guest. Unfortunately he had the radio keyed when he shouted, "stupid mother (fornicator) lay flat, lay flat!" And that tidb...
