"You said, we listened"?

Or maybe this will be some Backstage Magic in Eyes and Ears next month.

Honestly I don't need a special fastpass or a special pin (got one though). It is great castmembers that create the magic. Like having a birthday cake that I could eat for my birthday last year. Or giving me a full size cup of ice so I can drink my soda that I bring with me because Disney doesn't carry one I can drink. (Yes, Coke does make one but Disney doesn't carry it yet.)
Or giving me the perfect room when I didn't even ask for it.

LOL Zazu. Costuming is absolutely bizarre sometimes! Just when all hope fades Main Issue pulls off magic. They were actually testing your patience. :D: My M S coat was just recovered & taken off my acct after abt 10 months. Now, has your new name tag been found & given to you? ]

Nope. Looks like I'll be "Brett from Seminole" for some time to come.

To quote a guest, "Where *is* Seminole, Floriday, anyway?"

Am still Anna from Anaheim. How incredibly original can DL be? :rolleyes: I'll be Anna until name tag is given me or I find an extra $5 to legitimize myself.

Seminole, FL
It's about 9 miles from St. Petersburg, and a bit west of Tampa (according to the map).

My GF still hasnt gotten her new nametag. There's gotta be something wrong there...


"Where is 21?"
-Before 22?

And I'm Alyssa from Westminster, CA, and I'm not bilingual...

The language pin people are really behind the ball... I mean, they've known for how long about the new name tag design? How long have they known about the existance of Cast Members who speak a language besides English (and apparently Spanish, since I've encountered a Cast Member who had a standard name tag and didn't speak a lick of English)? Also, what idiot decided that the language portion of the name tag should be in gold while the rest of the name tag is white? We had language flags before the 50th, so a white name tag with language flag shouldn't be a foreign concept... :confused:

Well I have been working this new promotion for two months now and do not like it any more than when I first posted here. The backstage magic seems to have flown to coup so to speak, really does anyone know if they even did the drawing for the nights in the suites? I think not because it has been three weeks and no winner has been annouced. It took me three weeks to get a new nameteg and my hometown is not even spelled right. For all those cps from Vermont Law school I salute you, for not flat out refusing to wear those stupid things. How hard is it to copy and paste what info people have on the portal? From this I have to think it must be rocket sceince. I have seen DS getting flat out harrased by guests for thier child to have thier dream come true. It is not even the locals that are harassing them it is the guests that have come from far away for thier childs dream to come true. There are guests that are turning down prizes because their whole party was not there at the time or they do not want to be seperated from their party. I think the prizes are a good idea but I cannot even begin to count the number of parties that I have seen that only half got the prize or all but one or two did not get the prize, that is just bad guest service. I really like that the prizes are being awarded at random places at random times but it is just wrong to give away prizes at attractions with a height or age restriction. This means that there are people not elegable to get the prize even though they are not cast or family of cast. My over all feelings right now are this is just a bunch of problems with no solutions even if people cared enough to find a solution.
