Re: Guests with "Unnatural" fears
You are all assuming that I would actually trust my own treatment methods and professional competence!! Do you really think I would ever entrust my mental health to someone who has been on 55 Disney cruises, who rode Everest 13 times in a row (and another roller coaster 40 times in a row) and who still nearly has a heart attack when she meets Stitch, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Mr. Incredible?So do you have a lot of couches in your house?
If you were to talk to yourself, would you have to put a mirror on the wall and lie down on a couch ?
And do you charge yourself? If so, do you give a discount, or is it at standard rates?
And do you ever tell yourself, "Sorry, time's up!"

Re: Guests with "Unnatural" fears
I have a lot of people who freak out at really random points during the Safari. There was a lady once who was terrified of the Ankole Cattle she wanted to climb out the opposite side of the truck. Not sure how that would have helped?

I had a trainee that was absolutely terrified of the bridge. Persuading them that they'd have to drive across it was quite an adventure.Main_Street_Merch wrote:I have a lot of people who freak out at really random points during the Safari.

Re: Guests with "Unnatural" fears
I can honestly say my only unreasonable fear is those big roaches that fly or Palmetto Bugs. I live in South Mississippi in the middle of a bunch of pine trees so I am doomed. I am so afraid of them I can't see them on tv and once I used to by my dog food from a feed store that had a huge picture of one in front of the cash register (advertising some pesticide I think). I had to stand on the side of the counter and not be near the poster.

I'm right there with you. Even my little black jaded heart gets all flippy when I see my fav. characters walking down the way. Hell, when Darth Vader popped up from the stage with the fog swirling about, I got goosebumps. Cruella is such an evil treat if you get a chance to visit with her. So snarky!

Re: Guests with "Unnatural" fears
Well, I used to be absolutely petrified of Tower of Terror after I first went on it back in 1994. Now, I've been on it 82 times and I love it. So I guess you could say the 10 years I spent being terrified of the ride would be consired having an "unnatural" fear as I now realize that ride is one of the best rides in all of WDW.
For Narnia! And for Aslan!

Re: Guests with "Unnatural" fears
This tops them all.
I had a guest afraid of her seatbelt.
I was loading my gate at Soarin', and I was about to enable my carraige and leave, when someone shouted "Someone's freaking out over here!" So I run over, and this woman's like "Get me out of this thing, I want out!" So I immediately unlock her seatbelt, and she takes it off and I figure she was just scared of the ride itself. But then she asks:
"Can I just ride it without my seatbelt?"
Yeah. The answer was no. No we will not bring you 40 feet in the air without a seatbelt. So she chose to leave. The man next to her said "Sorry about that, she's a very extreme claustrophobic."
Very extreme.
