Your Last Day Wishes

Post by VonSeegs » Sat Jan 31, 2004 7:31 pm

Thanks to tourbunny and her great idea I thought to myself; "Self... Why not start a new topic and have people share what crazy things they would like to do on their last day." (I often sound like a nerd when talking to myself.)

Me? It depends on what attraction I'm working. Here's a small list:

*Matterhorn- We have something in the tower called the 'Chuck's Bell.' To let everyone know that we're 101 we give a long ring of the bell and stick our hands out the window and give a thumbs down sign. On my last day I would like to give a long ring of the Chuck's Bell and give a middle finger up sign.

*Mansion- During operation go into the ballroom with all the animation and pretend I'm a guest at the deathday party.

*Pirates- Dress up like a wench and be sold. "We wants the blond!"

*Star Tours- Ride the Starspeeder standing up. (Not very inventive but still fun.

*Rocket Rods (if it was still there)- Ride it topless!

*Space- There are so many things! I think the best would be to leave dispatch in the front row and come back in the last row!

You know how it is.

Why wait till your last day. Its fun to do it anyday! :D At the table jump up when the lights come on, with your arm around the little boy on the mantle, or just peaking your head out from behind the curtains at the top of the stairs or from inside the cabnit at the back of the seance circle(great place to shot sit wards on grad nights)!!!

Oh and I'd take the blond too!

On the WDW Railroad, it's traditional for engineers on their last day to take the train around on it's last trip -- the "deadhead," without passengers -- and see just how fast it can go.

While the speed limit on the RR is only 12 mph, some have gotten the trains up as fast as 30 mph on the long straight backstreatch. I think that if the track were in better shape (and a bit longer) we could probably get the locos to do about 45!

Then there was the engineer who got a transfer to Epcot Entertainment where she would be a lighting tech for the AG Theater. It was a big step up in prestige, salary, and regular hours. She was bound and determined to make her speed run.

Unfortunately, they neglected to schedule her for the "deadhead" trip on her last day. Her last trip around was with a trainload of passengers. Failing to permit this detail to dissuade her, she opened up the throttle and blasted down the backstreatch while ignoring her conductor's emergency stop signal.

She only made it up to about 17 mph.

And as her manager said as she checked out that night, "Too bad, you would have really been good at that Epcot job."

"Oh, I will."

"No, I don't think so. It's hard to do well when you've just been fired for endangering guests."


Oh, should I move this to the Stupid Cast Tricks thread?

Last day fun is always the best. . . If I ever worked at speedway I would open up the toontown gate and take a car out off the track. Take it through the park a few times. At the movie ride I would switch the cable that holds the tractor and the trailor togher and let the back half of the car hit all the walls.

I didn't do anything on my last day (I was on Monorails); though I think people were expecting me to do something big.

(I'm known for having a wild sense of humor at work.)

When my last shift came to an end, there was not a supervisor or lead in sight.

I think no one wanted to be a witness to whatever I had planned.

Years earlier, we had a guy on his last day (on Subs) sneak into the caverns, climb atop a sub, rip his shirt off and ride through the exit falls.

The lead got his lead status taken away. :roll:

Like the lead could have stopped it...

If I quit while in my 20s rather than in my 30s, perhaps I would have done something - but like someone said earlier, I've done quite a few things during the regular work week...

Aside from being in my 30s, and a bit more sedate, I was also up to my neck in work (for my new business) during those final two weeks, giving me little time to think of other things...

I always wanted to break into audio central and play Marylin Manson throughout the parks. "Kill your god. Kill your TV!" Of course I was fired before I knew it.

flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,

I dunno if this is a parking lot thing.. but on our last day.. if we have been with the dept. long enough to know most everyone.. it's time for a good old fashioned drenching. Water balloons/water bottles/buckets/etc everywhere. :!:

Being on the college program back in the early 90's, I had several "last days" when I went back to school after the summer. The two most memorable were when I was on Rafts and Keel Boats. On Keel Boats we took a dead head back to the far side of the island to park by Uncle Jed's cabin. I did a cannonball off the top of the keel boat. I went all the way to the bottom. On Rafts I had everyone wanting to push me in all day. Eventually I was pushed in by a blonde CM I had only spoken to a few times all summer. We've now been married 11 years and have three awesome kids. Thanks Disneyland! :pbjtime:

1. "Lockers? What are you talking about? What are those?"

2. "Thank you for calling the Disneyland Resort. If you want ticket information press 1. If you want park hours press 2. If you are an AP press 666. And if you are calling to complain, hang up and it will be processed automatically. For all other requests, please call 407-WDISNEY."

3. (Answer the phone doing my Mickey voice.) "Thank you for calling the Disneyland Resort. This is Mickey Mouse. How may I help you?" (Incoherent Donald voice ranting and raving) Mickey - "Donald, shut up or I'm gonna take care of you. Here Goofy..." (Goofy voice) "Gawrsh! Uh, how may I help you?" (Random Mickey and Donald screams) Goofy - "Uh oh. I better go. Buhbye."

4. On a clear, beautiful weekend day in early December, take out to the front of park the preprepared sign that reads "Due to inclement weather, tonight's showing of CandleLight has been canceled." Just to cause chaos.

5. Go into the computer system and void out every one of the 500,000 AP's just to cause chaos.

6. Show up to my last day and say "I'm sorry, I must have lost my D-pin within the last 15 hours."
