Re: Take this job and shove it!

Way too many places follow the "promote out of failure" route. Higher ups are worried that their jobs could be next if there's somebody that's both good at their job and ambitious. So keep 'em down until they just give up. Promote somebody who's barely competent and rely on the good person...

Re: Condolensces RE: SG's on president's visit

The easier travel from China and Brazil was already announced last week by the State Department. I guess they just needed a big showcase to get it any attention. I wish he would've talked about an increase in wages for workers, not just more jobs. This whole underemployment issue in Orlando is becom...

Re: Condolensces RE: SG's on president's visit

I went this morning just to see how management decided to work with it. The bypass was open from between the Theatre and Le Chapeau going all the way back to Tomorrowland, next to buzz. Going back their they had different floats, music, all of the Main Street Vehicles and those weird banner things. ...

Re: Guest Gains Access To Utillidoors

From what I've heard security was a lot looser in the past. So easier to get away with. Now somebody would say something, especially certain security hosts that won't even let costumed cast in without a thorough search... I've gotta say it is interesting to see how the tunnels looked fifteen years a...

Re: Why the rush at Splash Mountain?

That last line of Teddykeiko86, +1. I decided this last week that I am done with rides. I might go over to transportation or guest services, but I am done pushing people through rides for the sake of high counts. Thankfully that is one thing we're good at in watercraft, each boat crew is responsibl...

Re: Carousel of Progress SGs

To me Dench sounds like a school teacher. That she's not talking down to anybody, she's just trying to teach to all levels. Making SSE seem like a futuristic classroom where the teacher can show the student the development. And then you hit that obnoxious "interactive" portion. Which is th...

Epcot just has a higher capacity, think all those nice wide open pathways in World Showcase and leading there from Futureworld.

Re: Pet Peeve

HLN ran a piece today saying that visitors to theme parks yesterday encountered busy places and long lines. Apparently, this passes for "news" to a major cable network. I saw that while on break at MK. I think everybody looked up and kind of laughed. They showed an aerial shot of the TTC ...

Re: Disney to add on to Grand Floridian

It's been known around TTC for a while that was going in and for the most part everybody's been pretty ambivalent about how it'll work. I think right now everybody's just hoping it won't be a money/view sucking eyesore like Bay Lake Towers. They won't be able to get rid of the boat service on Seven ...
