This reminds me of a story told by an old-timer from Disneyland. He wasn't a Club 55 member, but he was there before 1960.bpgstudios wrote:What I said: Your child needs to have their seatbelt on to ride the carrousel.
What was heard: You don't have to put the seatbelt on if it's too much of a hassle.
What is replied (by SG): Nah, their fine. They don't need it.
What was enforced (by CM): No, its for saftey reasons. If they want to ride the carrousel, then they MUST wear their seatbelt for the entire durration of the carrousel. If not, I will have to ask you to please exit the carrousel.
He was working Casey Jr., and was walking the platform to check belts. Advising an older man with a gaggle of kids in the Monkey Cage to fasten their safety belts, the man said, "It's okay, they don't have to."
A repeat of the instruction met with a repeat of the denial. So, the CM pulled out his best arguement:
"But if you folks don't wear your seat belts, what will I tell Mr. Disney if he finds out?"
The guest patiently replied, "I am Mr. Disney, and it really is okay."
The CM then gave the guest a closer look, did a double-take, then muttered, "Hell if you ain't!" and gave the All Aboard.
Just when you think you've seen everything.... :locomotiv
