Abusing Privileges To Get What You Want
I was at Greeter at my attraction today and a lady reaking of perfume and makeup comes up with 2 kids holding a Premier Annual Pass. For those who don't know, its a Universal Annual Pass with a bunch of perks. One perk is Express Access after 4PM.
She shows me to them and I tell her it is not good until 4. This was a little after noon. She says "oh come on man, you know how much these things cost?" I say "yes I do, but it's not good til 4." She says "we went on the other rides with them." I say "ok then they were doing it wrong, its not good until 4." She walks away with a glare and I couldn't be happier.

Good work! :twisted:

GOOD FOR YOU!! I say that as a Premier Pass holder who plays by the rules and who has nothing but disgust for those who don't. Yeah, it costs a lot and yeah, you get some entitlements for the cost (love that Express and the valet...woo hoo!). But that doesn't mean you get to make up your own rules and expect everyone to kiss your ass. I'm glad you put her in her snooty little place.TowerTimmy wrote:She walks away with a glare and I couldn't be happier.
I remember one day when I was waiting for Mr. Syndrome as he rode Dr. Doom (can't remember why I didn't ride). Idiots with Preferreds were arguing with the TM, insisting they were Premiers and demanding to be let into Express. They just kept arguing (like a TM wouldn't know the difference...duh). I sidled over, whipped out my Premier, and said, "Who are you trying to kid? This is what a REAL Premier looks like." They shut their mouths and crawled back into whatever hole they had emerged from.

When my sister and I got our premium passes, it said no discounts at the vending carts. I still see the SG saying that they get a discount. These poor vendors don't have registers and can not give those who want discounts. I will take the discount for meals any time. :)

Are WDW Re-Ads even valid on the Monorail over there?Doctor McKey wrote:Whats even worse is when people comeo to the monorail station at the TTC hold about 30 Re-Ads... hhmmmm I wounder where they got those.... hhmm.... hold on... is that date expired... oh yeah... did i forget to mention the park changed the designe... of course most CM's dont care to even check them... so what ever...
It's not an in-park Attraction like it is here, after all. And, aren't WDW Re-Ads only valid in the park they're issued in?
Though, given that the nature of your typical SG, they just see the "Re-Entry" and ignore the rest, lol.

Yep, WDW is a lot nicer in that they do not charge you to ride the monorail. Just park and ride all day the WDW monorails for free unlike DLR and the view is a lot better.glendalais wrote:Are WDW Re-Ads even valid on the Monorail over there?

Sure, I'll take 'em. I mean, if you really want to give them to me... Not going to get you on the train any faster, but thank you!glendalais wrote:Are WDW Re-Ads even valid on the Monorail over there?
Seriously, though, that's like the people who wave a GAC in my face on the platform. In the time I've been in Monorails, we haven't had to extend the AC lines to the point where you are waiting more than about 15 minutes, unless something goes wrong... in which case that GAC is gonna do even less for you, since you're not getting on the Monorail anyway. And yes, I have had someone try to use one to get on a monorail that was not running due to technical difficulties.

How about the wheelchairs that stop in the middle of the line while screaming at you to get a ramp out, screwing your dispatch time by holding up the whole line.Big Wallaby wrote:Sure, I'll take 'em.
