I love guestions.

Post by Main_Street_Merch » Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:20 pm

Conversation I had with a guest at Cheers (Unload) today.

Guest: What is this?

Me: This is the exit for Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Guest: Is it a ride?

Me: It's a two week safari adventure.

Guest: Can we go on it?

Me: Yes, actually the entrance is down the path, in the village.

Guest: So there's no way we can get on here?

Me: No ma'am, I'm sorry but we can't put anyone on at unload.

Guest: Why?

Me: Because this truck will go directly to load where there are people who have been waiting over an hour to get on already lined up for this truck.

Guest: What if we sit in the back?

Me: I'm sorry, but that would mess up our loading procedures. There are still fast pass tickets availible if you don't want to wait in the standby line.

Guest: So you're saying I can't ride?

Me: No, I'm saying you can't get on here. You can ride as many times as you want, but you have to go through the line.

I was helping take apart the Screamin' Eagle at my park.
Guest: (note, THE RESTRAINTS AND SEATS ARE TAKEN APART!!!) "Is this open?"


It is not Fast Track, it is Test Track. It is not Orgasmic, it is Fantasmic. It is not Innovations, it is Innoventions. It is not Disney Zoo, it is Animal Kingdom. It is not Network Neighborhood, it is Global Neighborhood.

Kinda reminds me of one we get a lot at Innoventions when it's raining and the line gets really long. I'll be following a platform full of guests into the building when someone about 200 people back in the line will lean over and ask "is there any room on there for just two more?"

Come on, people. If there WAS room for two more, why would I put YOU in there instead of a group of two from the 200 FRIGGIN' PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU?!?!

Here's your sign...

Today.

Guest: Where are the stores????
Me: Which one?
Guest: The one where you can buy things??

I wanted to tell her she was standing inside of one. She was also a few yard from another one. But as I try to give her directions to Hollywood and Sunset she turns away and kinda starts to walk off. What the??

A Guest walks up and puts a Belle brush beside the register and says that she's holding it there while she looks. No problem. I overhear her and her friend saying that they are looking for another one though. So I go into the back and get some of all the princesses, including another Belle one. When I go back out they arent by the brushes anymore, but I still put them out- Belle one in front. Then I go back to my register. I look up when I hear "Excuse me, ma'am." I quickly see that it's the same Guest as before and her friend is looking at the brushes I had just put out. She asks "Do you have any Belle brushes?" Kid you not- My answer "Yes ma'am, there's your's right there and I just put more out *points*". Argh.

If I had a dime for every guest who thinks Innoventions is Space Mountain...

To be fair, though, that sign for Space Mountain is seriously poorly lit in the daytime. It looks like nothing more than a blank board.

Yeah, a lot of people get confused about where they're at when they pull up to cheers. I've had people insist that it was the walkway to Asia, and that I should let them ride Kali "RIGHT NOW".

At least they eventually left. Just wait until you get cheers and a hard rain starts shortly after you get there. Getting people to leave the dock can be VERY difficult. On more than one occasion, I've had to threaten to call the fire marshall in order to get people to move. (usually, as soon as I say that I'm going to call, they start to move)

Yes Darth, bet this idiot was a grad. Probably one from 2 weeks ago. NONE of those grads spoke English. Not one! They left every store way beyond trashed. Most of us did a.m.OT because each store looked like Katrina had just hit. :twisted: :mad: :(

I'll add these into the book. Should actually have a new one ready to go soon enough.
