...you give genie a "whaddaup" without thinking twice about it
...you find yourself trying to compliment purchases and suggest other items when you aren't working (both as a guest and outside of the park)
(for the girls)
...you don't odd to pump gas in a "little house on the prairie" dress (with matching apron ;) )
...you figure out how to roll up your pajama pants just right so they don't show under your skirt
...all of your hair accessories are black, white, or tortorsie shell

Signs you might have worked at Kilimanjaro Safaris for too long
(posted on a sign in our breakroom ... copied as best as my memory will allow)
- You get in your car, start it, put it into gear, and then honk twice before moving it
- You've looked for the radio (in your personal car) to call Kilimanjaro 12 and request permission to back up...but only with a spotter.
- You put the car in park and put the parking brake on everytime you stop at a red light
- When at other parks you call strollers prams.
- When watching the very beginning of the Lion King (during the Circle of Life part) you identify every animal and give facts about each.
- You see a bunny and call it a wild african jackrabbit.
- When you get behind the wheel to go somewhere you introduce yourself and say you will be the game driver for the photo safari through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve.
- You greet people by saying Jambo.
- You consider Warden Wilson Matua and Miss Jobson close personal
friends. - You've changed your cell phone voice mail message to include Reticulated Giraffes
- You know facts for animals not native to Africa ("These buzzards have a wingspan of ...")
- You've tried to set the ring on your cell phone as the song that plays while you're driving through the elephant yard
- You transfer to Jungle Cruise, and start to give facts about the animals, before realizing that you're not at KSR anymore

Re: You know you work at Disneyland when...
you pray you don't get caught in the 15min zone on fireworks night.
you find yourself showing up for appoinments an hour early, in case you have to change.
you refer to your everyday clothes as costumes.

Re: You know you work at Disneyland when...
You throw a party and automatically put arrivals into groups of 4, 5 or 8 as they enter the living room.
You totally piss off the Queen of Hearts & handler by saying "Whaddup, dude?"
while on stage.
You know the old lady / passholder riding the ECV is not a passholder, old, nor
even a lady.
You know it takes exactly 5 min. and 8 seconds to get from Harbor Pt. to the CDS clock if you take the right route.

If you ever stop and ask yourself: "How do they dress themselves?"
Congratulations and welcome to my world.

when your car runs out of gas you look for a smith and wesson 38 to fire in the air 3 times.......

Re: You know you work at Disneyland when...
Even this won't bring any help when close to DL's firework's time. Most times there are too many sirens on Katella & Harbor for a 38 to be heard. One must plan not to need gas when parked in Cast lots. Thought AAA was called to help CMs with car probs. Has this been cut by friendly Disney CPAs now?Karnever wrote:when your car runs out of gas you look for a smith and wesson 38 to fire in the air 3 times.......

Re: You know you work at Disneyland when...
I can't resist these.....
When you search for Disney hang tags in your neighborhood
When you search for disney hangtags on the freeway
When you wave to fellow CM's on the 5 freeway and say "Race you to K-lot!"
