Yesterday at the Rose Garden at the Disneyland Hotel, we had allot of security for my sister's wedding. We had about 5 officers blocking areas so that SG could not enter and bug us.

I've had to call security once, and I had to get management involved several times

When I think about it, there were SG in the lobby area trying to go into the reception area. The party crashers were kicked out. The security officers had the names of the guests and those who were not on the list were not let in. :twisted:

So when my sister and her huband went to get some guest pictures outside near the water falls, most of us desided to get the DJ to play "Disco Music."
My request for excercise was: "YMCA!" Oh yeah! I got my friends husband and my aunts dancing to this one. :)

I get the fun of filling up a camera disc with 900 pictures. My sister's best friend and I went picture shooting at DTD. We stopped at the photo booth where you get the choice of picture, sit and they adjust your face to the picture. It came out great and we had to hide the picture from our nieces. Moe of course turned it around and was laughing. I did put the picture of us on Moe's weddding disc. :D:

I guess my secret is safe. :p:

What secret? Your behavior isn't something to be suspicious of -- we *know*!

Just keep this in mind... as Rozz says, "We're watching... ALWAYS WATCHING"

I've called security on multiple occasions... friendly reminder, DO NOT lock your stroller or wheelchair to a wall, door, or something like that... I've seen bicycle locks get cut before. Lock maybe 2 of your wheels together, that way if a cast member must move it, we can, however, it makes it really difficult for another SG to steal.

I have, too, especially while working Fantasmic! GC when it is blocking the walkways. One time, there was a stroller locked around the stancion, so all I had to do was lft the stancion and move it to stroller parking.

I recall previous posts here on SGT where someone said it's a lot easier for CM's to cut through the stroller itself than the lock -- so ofter SG's will return to find their lock still fastened and the stroller gone! Love it. :D:

In my (albeit limited) experience working at the mouse, I think the reason you don't see much calling of security is that most situations (which are usually few and far between anyways) can be taken care of easily by the CM themselves.

Although, I had a friend who called security because a family left their baby in a carrier at stroller parking. Apparently they couldn't "be expected to carry it around all day". That's probably the worst I've really heard.

Of course, maybe my lack of incidents has to do with my location.
