...Winnie the Pooh seems like it needs Fastpass back
...Churros 6 is across from the Mansion instead of next to it so Mansion CM's have room to extend the line (then back to the original spot in the evening so Fantasmic GC doesn't yell at us)
...Stockers are being told to take out smaller loads (though, to be fair, I often took out loads taller than myself and heavier than a churro wagon), then being chastized when wagons are out of water
...you can pull some cushy Glow double-time


If I have offended, I apologize from the bottom of my admittedly hypothetical heart.

You are double loading and unloading on book and the line goes back around towards small world. You have a line all through Tarzan's treehouse and people trying to enter through the exit.
I both hated and loved working extended hours for Fantasmic. More money but even more stupid people. That ask you what is going on.


"Please keep walking, if ya wanna see Fantasmic get under the rope."- my fave line when working walkways durning Fantasmic.

-Mansion has made use of the extended queue and the lead really doesn't want to go look for the rope for the fountain queue. (or in case one year forgot where it was)
-People complain about Mansion's 30 minute wait demanding fastpass
-It's 9am and K-lot is already getting full of cast members' cars
-You make the mistake of walking through adventureland to get to NOS and get stuck in front of Indy.

when indy standby reaches tiki, and indy fastpass reaches pirates.
the extended queue for indy fp dist, is looping over to the jungle entrance (it's in rehab we gunna use the space.) any attraction goes 104 and instantly restores the previous number of people in line. no matter how fast you group, the line doesn't seem to have an end to it.


Gimme some soft serve!

Well...yeah. The people in front of me asked the CM at the entrance if it was really that long, and she said yeah, but...y'know...it never is, and I had time to kill. So I get in line...20 minutes later we literally had not moved, and I went off to the Fantasyland kid rides, since a good deal of the little ones were gone by that point (past their bedtimes...muahaha).


If you try to fail and succeed...what the hell did you just do?

Yes, that's sad. But at least you're willing to admit it.

people actually line up to ride "snow white's scary adventure"

and

hundreds more must be told to "stay out of pleasure island or else you'll turn into a donkey and we both know there are enough of those in fantasyland today!"

and finally...

"Hello there do you folks have a Guest Assistance Card?"
"We have a wheelchair"
"Unfortunately mamn I need to see the wheelchair to allow you folks to embark on your journey from this location."
"My husband is outside resting"
"I need him to come over here and either ride with you folks or at least show that he is using a wheelchair"
"But he's just in the shade over there (points to a brick wall)"
"I need to see the wheelchair to allow you to ride"
They leave and never return. Guess there wasn't a wheelchair after all. All for Pin. Sadness.

1....you are selling balloons and you have to go back and blow them up because your mangers sent your pro to a resturant to keep it open.

2....you have a $1500 + fund and your manger says "that's it?...you should have done more, at least two grand..." my response (see #1)

3....when DL-ODV only has 10 carts or less out


Is it over yet...nope just beginning
