Haha.. I always liked

Question: Why did Tigger look in the toilet?

Answer: He was trying to find Pooh.

Not so much a work-safe one. :) I have never told it to anyone.

Or why does Tigger always bounce on his tail? So, he doesn't step on Pooh!! LOL

Wow. Old thread ;)

I've had a similar experience, pinoy. What happened was I guess a little girl dropped a little pink bunny blanket, and I found it lying on the ground outside Philhar. I took it to CDS since it looked like something that would be missed. Well, luckily I was still out at strollers when a man comes up to ME out of all 4 people doing strollers and asks if I've seen the bunny blanket. I run immediately to CDS and retreive it. The man is so releived he gives me a hug and thanks me over and over of how much of a savior I was to his little girl. He pulls out his phone and shows all of us at strollers a pic of his little girl. I gave him some re-ads, and thanked him for the very kind words. This made working that 16 hour shift worth it all! It reminded me that there still are some GREAT guests in our park, even on those days where the fastpass queues never seem to end.

I've had kids at small world load tell me that their favorite ride was small world while waiting for the wheelchair boat to load. That always makes me proud of my attraction, no matter how annoying the song may be (it's not to me). I love it when the kids start asking me questions about my "boss", Mickey, and start telling me their favorite story, where they're from, what rides they've done, and all that to a complete stranger like me. Its an extremely good feeling to know you have that much of an impact on a childs experiences, and that by doning the nametag and bright green pants, you can make a connection with a guest. I know I've been in the parks as a guest after my shift or the next day and have had guests recognize me. I've seen some of the SG's I've dealt with in the park as a guest too, and they dont notice or remember me (hopefully). But the ones that have a good experience do remember me. And I know I've remembered good CM's Ive seen in other attractions. The bad ones, I forget.

Wow that was much longer than originally planned.

These memories happened during Minnie's Character Breakfast, Plaza Inn, Disneyland- Saturday Feb 3rd during my shift.

A little girl and her parents came in for the breakfast, and all the characters were close to the entrance. I think she was around 2 years of age, maybe 3 years old and had long brown hair in a pony tail. She walked up to each of the characters, and hugged all of them: Minnie, Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Captain Hook, Geppetto (Sp?) Chip and Dale.

Captain Hook was being villainous as usual -his back was toward where I was working and Geppetto walked up behind him, and lifted the tails of the Captain's coat up past his waist.

Pooh Bear and Tigger, walked up to Eeyore and started tickling poor Eeyore.

I think it was Dale- saw a guest getting a bagel and very sneakily reached out and picked up a little container of cream cheese, and sneaked the cheese onto the guest's tray...
