You know you have been Disney-fied when...

Post by vixen101485 » Tue Sep 25, 2007 7:37 pm

.........You do the 2 finger point while at work at an Autoparts store and have never been a CM.

I had to tell you all this (after I dried my tears from laughing my ass off) Donnie tells me tonite that he is sick of Disney. WHY? Because he caught himself doing the above at work all day yesterday when customers would ask where something was. I personally thot it was hilarious (I dont think he appreciated me laughing so hard tho) and figured y'all would love the humor. :D:

Any body else got similar stories?

I always point with either 2 fingers or an open hand and I left Disney 7 years ago. I also have a radar that goes off when people need their picture taken. Yes, I do take the picture.

That point is near impossible to break the habit for lol. But the worst thing I do is when strangers walk by I always smile and say hello...doesn't sound so bad but really freaks some people out.

Plus, the Disney point is good manners.

I also remove my sunglasses while talking to people. We were allowed to wear them at Disney but had to take them off for guest interaction. I believe that although I will probably always have these habits at least they're polite.

..... even though you don't work at Disney anymore, you seem to answer guests questions when you visit your CM friends.

...... without knowing it, you answer guests' questions when they seem to be looking at you.

...... you tell your CM friends, "Back in my day.......... ", "We would do this........", "That is how it's done.........", etc...

....... you know the secrets behind the Disney characters, like which is male and which one is female.

My wife would roll her eyes at me when I'd do the two finger point when showing a fellow guest where to go. Now I do it just to see if she notices :D:

Out of respect to other guests I learned to to do the two finger point and still tend to use it.

I also learned to do the Mickey Salute for SGs.

Mickey has a thumb, pink and an index finger, close those and what do you have? two fingers held tight together to flip people off.
