Do You Know What "Preview" Means?!

Got lucky today and was able to ride the new Star Tours: The Adeventures Continue in previews/soft opening over at DHS. Being a preview before the attraction opens on the weekend, photography and videotaping wasn't allowed inside. Enforcing this was a secret team of ninja Guest Relations Hosts and H...

Re: STCU Negotiations 2010

Thanks for the update. I'm supposed to be on the negotiating committee for the CR contract, and this is the first I've heard that there was a meeting being held. <sigh> See if I let them use my name for this *next* time! It wasn't so much as a meeting, as it was everyone getting together and saying...

Re: Not Always Right: Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes

I think the Canadian trying to find an ocean view room in Orlando might be a relative, lol. My mother still insists to everyone that I live no more than 15 minutes from both the Atlantic and the Golf of Mexico :rolleyes: . Then again, they're trying to book a hotel room, as opposed to showing up at ...

(At the Parking Lot Toll Booths)

What I Say: STOP!!! *waves stop sign*

What They Hear: Oh, you don't need to stop, nor do you need to pay for parking. We're just here to wave at you as you enter the parks. Please continue driving forward, completely ignoring us!

Construction Starts on Shanghai Disney Resort

Please read the giant letters on the paper!

Had a Guest come up the other day and try to present a DLR Disney's eTicket for admission. Informed her that she couldn't use it at WDW, given the whole other-side-of-the-country thing.. She refused to accept this and continued to insist that the ticket was good at "Disney". This despite t...

Re: The end is near!!!

Until I see something reported by a major news company, and not just a blog that I've never heard of, I'm going to also tentatively classify this as an April Fool's Day item that got posted an hour or two early...

Re: Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart

I don't have a globe handy but I can believe a number of border states are further north than parts of Canada, but Northern California? With Oregon and Washington north of California I am having a hard time imagining that. Got a map? http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9819/ameriquedunord42emepara.g...
