Count me in as another retired marching trombonist. This gang wouldn't make very good music, but we'd sure have fun doing it!

So yesterday I'm at a friend's party and someone starts talking about Disneyland and they bring it to everyone's attention that I used to work there. So this guy proceeds to tell me that he won't ever take his 2 and 4 year old there again because he "heard" from some other guy that the people in the characters costumes don't wear clothes under the costume... I was like, "What?? That's insane, I've never seen that..." and he SWEARS that this guy told him that they were in Critter Country getting their pictures taken with Pooh and that Pooh crouched down and the front of the costume ripped open and the guy's *ahem* "wang" popped out at everyone!

I started laughing because it was just ridiculous and the guy got mad at me and told me "Now I know WHY they don't want you to work there... you think it's funny!" and I tried to explain that the cast members that *I* know and have seen ALWAYS wear clothing of some sort covering their body while in the costumes and that the costume couldn't rip open THAT easily, etc. He claims this just recently happened and that there is a lawsuit against Disney now because of it.... PLEASE tell me this isn't even true because I would feel so stupid after telling him he was lame for believing that story!

Anyway, it was pretty funny...

THere was the case, years ago, of a family that tried to sue the park because the entire family had been taken backstage and saw the characters, "with their heads off, and the weird breathing apparatus that they wear underneath, and it gave my kids nightmares!"

First of all, there has never been any breathing apparatus under any Disney character head!! We've worn ice vests on hot days to keep the ol' body temp down, but no breathing apparatus. And anyway, if I were a judge, and some idjit brought that one into my court, I'd simply ask if the kids had ever trick or treated. Yes? They have? And did your kids ever see their friends take off their masks? They did? Case dismissed!

Oh, and why did this family get taken backstage in the first place? THEY'D BEEN CAUGHT SHOPLIFTING!!! Great thing to teach your children...

That Wizard 69 kook needs to do three things:

1. Develop a work ethic, and realize that if you're gonna be dumb you better be tough. So you have to walk a few steps more; it'll counteract your excessive caloric intake.

2. STFU.

3. Grow a pair, and take up the parade parking procedures with Show Support management; it sounds to me like somebody lacks the courage of their convictions.

Or is this just another case of "Playskool's My First Job"? :twisted:

Actually it's a case of we come here to vent. From the last few posts you've made, it seems like you don't quite understand this idea.

it's cool though, #3 is refreshing after being surrounded by magic nonstop for the past since november 1st. and we do get quite a bit of that playskool's first job cases, i was a trainer, and a suto lead at my second job which i hled for a year and a half before i was old enough to work at the resort doing something that i knew i'd enjoy doing.

All I'm doing is venting. What, someone can vent on my job, but I can't vent on them? It's okay to talk smack on guests, but not on each other? What kind of double standard is that?

It's an internet post. Take it with a grain of salt. I sure as hell do.

I get pissed off about a lot things at work. But the trailers in front of the breakroom never bothered me. The few times I have used the breakroom during that time I have squeezed between the trailers or I have walked around them. I walk so much at DL I don't even notice a few extra steps.
