When I was hired in, I was trained at Auto, but since I didn't pass my PA, all I did was did Parade GC until they got me trained on another attraction. This was before I knew we can do a Fantasmic! GC. :D

My first Fantasmic! shift I was in C section. I was on C wall until the show started and then I was sent to enterences. I don't remember who the lead was. I did fine at enterences then went back to C wall. Soon I worked with Gina in A and well I ended up working with Gina everytime I did fantasmic! regardless of what section she was in. It was cool she usually sent me to enterences. I love enterences when there are no fireworks. The last time I did enterences with fireworks Lisa put me at info board, she said "Stduck you're my strongest cast member here" which was a complement and after a guest told me to "Shut the fuck up bitch" for yelling through Believe. Trevor told me good job for not losing the walkway and a guest complemented me. Go figure

I first Fantasmic! shift was in "A" section with Gina doing the Mark Twain Split. It was hectic after the parade ended. I worked mostly with Gina all the time just clearing out the walkways.

My first Guest Control shift was for candlelight. Hours upon hours of swinging a flash light directing one way traffic shoving people into the eporium. Ugh the only fun part was doing Pyro help afterwards.
But I probably only think that because I love being Pyro help.

You had to bring up Candlelight :!: :!: Forgot how much I dreaded this event. Candlelight brings out even more guests who have no clue......& absolutely no sense of direction. Nother Christmas @ "Here's Your Sign" Disney

omg you had to mention Candlelight. I'd have to say working a mid shift at Strollers during Candlelight 2003 was my worst shift ever in the 4 years I worked there. I wasn't even guest control, for crying out loud. It's just that the craziness mixed with our being shorthanded for that time of day plus the crappy circumstances made for a really hard, unpleasant afternoon and night.

I apologize for ever bringing candlelight up. I know I hated it but I didn't realize how much everyone else hated it. That shift made me hate GC and I still hate it to this day. Once again I'm sorry and will never bring it up again.

geeze, i'll try not to work on that day! when i was a passholder, i never went to any special events, i don't go to Disneyland for the events, i go for the rides, and to people watch. Stduck, as for C wall, it's sea-wall, that's why it's able to run all the way to B section, it's there to keep the ROA from flooding inot NOS if we get a rain storm (or that's what the purpose would be if the ROA was a tidal river subject to such events) but since we never get that it's a move of authenticity. my favorite is to work D section stairway or pit, i know it just as well as i know the cannon/city hall crossing in town square, and everytime i've had d-section i've had a different lead, in fact i've yet to have the same lead twice at fantasmic!.

whatever GMC, I am lazy when it comes to typing. As for leads in Fantasmic! the best is Tim, Lisa and Gina. Lisa or Tim in D section rocks (yes lets not actually work till 8pm and avoid using rope as long as possible). I did a grad night GC shift for enterences and guess who the leads were...Lisa, Gina and Oscar. It was funny when they were figuring out who was there, you could tell which of us worked Fantasmic because Lisa would say the name then say "I know you're here I just saw you" Man all this talk about Fantasmic makes me wanna work it.

I best lead, I think, was Randy, but sadly he isn't with us anymore. He strict, but fair and cool!!
