Question for the Monorail Pilots out there...

[lady ulrike]

It's one of the reasons I won't do a speiling attraction yet. I get too tripped up with other speils or my brain gets ahead of my mouth and funny combinations of words come out. Im getting better though...

I can tell you from experience you WILL mess up your spiel on a spieling attraction. I do it all the time, in fact I think the longer you're there the more likely you are to mess up. I always mess up because my mind starts to drift and I'm still spieling then I suddenly realize I'm talking about the wrong thing.

I believe Vacation Planners are the CM's in the ticket booths.

(At least that's what I was told by another CM)

At the four theme parks Guest Relations, Ticket Sellers and Turnstile Greeters are three separate team. For some reason the ticket sellers are called Vacation Planners. Maybe it makes them sound more important than they really are.

At the water parks we have a much smaller entrance, so there is only one team. If you are GS qualified you may be assigned to any of the three position types; if you have qualified in tickets but not yet GS you can be either in a booth or at a turnstile, and if you have not, for some reason, had ticket training you can only be assigned to turnstiles.

As a part-timer I get $0.30 per hour more when I am in a booth than when I am just at a turnstile.

How many people are alble to sit with the pilot? Only reason i ask is that back in the day when i want to wdw with my wife mom-in-law and niece and nephew we asked the loader at the polonesian if we could sit up front. After he checked with the pilot he cae back and said only four are allowed. We thanked him and sat in the back (no sgts this time) but i am sure i have seen more than 4 in front before.

they aren't individual seats, but i'm pretty sure it's 4. at least in the nosecone. i know from when the disneyland monorail was running in shuttle mode, it was 4 in the front, but 5 in the back. but there were no real controls either in the rear. just a seat for an assist (?) and a phone.

it definitely wouldn't fit more than 4 average sized adults comfortably.

While you can get more than 4 in front, 4 is the magic number.


At one point in time it was more, but not anymore.

For a time period, they going bidirectional. I am not sure if they are still going bidirectional. They had to since they are doing construction on the sub lagoon.

So, what about like 4 adults and two 2-year olds in the laps of adults?

Pack of mules?

6 midgets?

12 african pygmies?

Hows-about 1 redneck,and a 6 pack?

nah, with me it'd be like a cooler full or perhaps just a bottle of crown and some 7-up.

Seriously though, 4 adults and two 2-year olds work out? We're planning a trip to the World this year with some friends (details on a trip to SoCal is also in the works) and I'm just curious.
