YEs ultimately the the "ALL OF US" response is grouper hell. You got your grouping "groove" going and it hits you like a truck. My favorite place to group an "all of us" (AOU) is at Test Track. For those of you that havent seen the ride we have four loading "pits" each with two rows ((3 people each Ft/ BK per car)(pit 1 1&2, pit 2 3&4, pit 3 5&6, Pit 4 7&8)). If we are using all four pits its great when you get AOU party I would say okay AOU will be ridin in rows 7&8 all 2-80 people would walk down and I would just keep loading Pits 1-3. Eventually someone in the AOU party would come down and say "But there is only six seats in a car" My response would be oh you can count, sorry but you'll have to figure it out yourself because you didnt give me a party size and I will not make the guests behind you wait longer cause you wouldnt give me a number in your party. Yes but its is AOU. Me well last I knew AOU doesn't exist in the numerical system and I suggest before going on any other ride you know how many you have in your party and give the right number or thing like this will keep happening to you all day.

The other one I hate is the MIDS DON'T COUNT parties. Attractions and Full Serve F&B locations know these types. They tell you they have four, you assume the two toddlers behind themn are with the next party, but they are really a party of six.

Also the SELF GROUPERS, how many in your party? 2 okay numbers 10 and 11, having them join another party of two waiting. Next Party, how many, 2 okay 1 & 2 please...But we're with them (prior party) My response...Not anymore. Or worse they dont tell you..you have guest yelling at you because four seats went empty because the group has rearranged themselves to be together and the family behind them now is riding seperately...ARRRRRRRRRGH

Me: How many in your group?
G1: Two.
Me: Row six. (to next group) How many in your group?
G2: Two.
Me: All right, we'll get you on the next boat.
G2: But we're with them! (points to G1)
Me: (to G1) Why did you tell me you only had two in your group?!

What I'll sometimes do in a situation like this is say to G2 "They (point to G1) told me they only had 2, they must want to get rid of you", which usually tends to make G2 forget that they were supposed to be mad at me, and gets mad at G1, while I go about loading.

Those are the one of the worst! How can you act like your baby/child isn't part of your group?

That happened one night I was at rear load at jungle. They said six so I counted the two toddlers they were carrying. That was going to be the last group, so I make the two kids wait behind the yellow line assuming they're with the two adults behind them and next thing I know the parents are getting attitude like Im supposed to be psychic and know they're genetically related! So it was a little tight sitting in the back of the boat. But I didn't feel bad cause if they had bothered to count their own damn offspring we wouldn't have had a problem!

Idiots.

Ugh!!
Has anybody ever had guest who when you ask "how many all together?" they respond "2,1,and 3"

I have that all the time at Aladdin's ride, so I go "Hmm six, carpet 9"
It was 2 adults, a baby, and three under 7 year olds.
Mother: "But we wanted three Carpets."
Me: "I'm sorry but everyone in your group has to sit together. The children can NOT go by themselves, and there's a 25 minute wait. We cannot have single riders no matter what age."
Mother: "This is..."
A Guest standing in line about 2 rides behind her: "Shut the hell up lady and leave the cast member alone. She's doing her JOB!"

Two rides later mister Hero's there (he's around my age)
Me: "Marry Me."
Guest: Laughs and says "Sure just make sure to invite her. ;) "

Every single day, at least four or five times I'll ask how many and hear
"Two"; load and then ask the next group to wait for the next available
(insert vehicle name here) and they bitch "But we're with them!".

I'll usually say something like "I think they're trying to ditch you again by
telling me only two". ANd then look at the ones dispatched and say "Hey, you
guys are MEAN!"


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

Did this at Pooh last week "How many?"
"Two"
"Row Six" (we only have 6 rows)
"How many?"
"We're with them did they only say 2?"
"Mmmhmm."
Luckily we weren't too busy I regrouped them into rows 1, 2, 3

Oooo!!! Don't you guys love it when you ask how many and the person doesn't say anything but motions with their hands(at a large group) and then says "Yes, we're all together."

Please people! Count out how many you have and tell the cast member when you get up to them. It makes everything run fast and easy. Yes, we can count, it's just we don't have time to count.

Me: How many in your group?
G: I don't know. It's pretty big. (It was a dozen or so)
Me: Okay, I'll get you on the next boat. Take this time to count how many so I know.

(I leave to pull a couple fo groups from the other line)

Me: Okay, so how many do you have?
G: I don't know.
Me: Excuse me while I go fetch the cat-o-nine-tails and beat the hell out of you with it.



Grad night:

Me: How many in your group?
G: We need five boats
Me: You know this how?
G: We got a really big group. We're going to need five whole boats.
Me: Somehow I doubt that. Tell ya what. Pass it down for the last person of your group to raise their hand. I'll count you out as you pass by me.

Turns out they had about 35 in their group. Our boats seat 22 apiece. Apparently, high school math standards are not what they used to be.
