Guests & guides

Post by RebuildtheKingdom » Tue Apr 19, 2005 3:39 pm

Quick off the wall question here...Do you guys and gals see many guests lugging around their guidebook with them? If so, about what percentage of guests do you see carrying around a guidebook with them?

It's a small fraction of one percent -- perhaps a tenth of a percent, but they are out there.

Just this morning I showed a guest my face inside their PassPorter. :D:

Naw, they seemed thrilled to meet a celebrity not three minutes after they got to the Park. Go figure.

It's a tough job, but *somebody* has to do it.

And I know how it's spelled!

Okay... Guilty - I'm one of the 1/10 of 1%. :o: I carry a PassPorter in the parks; less to find where I'm going these days as to have a convenient place to take notes about our trips for our family scrapbooks and trip reports. Yes, I am a geek. :o:

So... what page are you on, Zazu??? :)

I used to carry Birnbaum's, but I think next time I'll take Zazu's (At least for AK, I have the other parks memorized :) )

I sometimes carry the UNOFFICIAL guide. Birnbaum's is to pro-Disney.

I've noticed it's gotten a lot "fluffier" since Birnbaum died. They got thinner and don't seem to be as good anymore. I'll be switching next time I need one.
