stupid guest tricks on disneyland rr?

[felinefan]

One of MANY SG stories on the DRR...

I was loading guests at Main Street Station. I finished loading, and it was time to get ready to depart. There were about 15 people left in the queue for the next train. As I was closing the Load Gate, this woman starts walking up from the very end of the line...

"Excuse me, I'm handicapped. I need to get on this train."

No cane, no crutches, no wheelchair, no visible sign of any disability other than the white respirator she was wearing (you know, the ones you can buy at Home Depot).

"Do you have a Guest Assistance Card?"

"No! No...no! I'm not dealing with that crap! I need to get on that train."

"Well, I'm sorry, but you're at the back of the line, and I can't just let you in ahead of everyone without a Guest Assistance Card."

"It's just me. Just one. I have health problems. I need to get on that train!"

"Unfortunately, I can't let you in ahead of everyone like that. If you would like to, you can head down to City Hall and discuss your nee--"

"NO! I'm a Premium Pass Holder! I pay three hundred and (something) dollars to come here!"

"So does every other Premium Pass Holder..."

"Oh, now you're being a little smart ass? I don't need to be talked to by a smart ass!"

"Ma'am, please watch your language."

"This is bullshit! I've been run into, bumped into, and coughed on all day! I'm a Premium Pass Holder! My husband is a Malibu cop... SWAT team."

*Raise my eyebrow as if to say "What the hell are you talking about?"*

"I'm not impressed by you with your--your...braces! Staring at me through your dark sunglasses!"

*Completely straight-faced now* "Ok... The next train will be here in 5 minutes."

"I'm going to report you! I'm going to report you to your supervisor! I'm going to talk to your managers! I'm going to write a letter to the CEO!"

*Hop on my train. Leave Main Street.*


I was told later that day by another Conductor that one of the guests in line who witnessed the whole thing came over to him and told him what happened and that I was very professional and handled it well, and that he wanted to make sure I wouldn't get in trouble because of a crazy woman like that.




THE NEXT DAY!!! She's back. Exact same situation. She apparently doesn't remember me. I finished loading at MS, she was at the back of the line, she came forward and demanded she get on the train. I didn't want to deal with her AGAIN...

"I'm sorry, this train needs to leave now. The next one will be here in 5 minutes."

"You know, you guys did this to me last time too!"

"I know...I remember you." *Big cheesy smile*

"Oh, so is that why you're not letting me on the train?"

*Fed up* "No! I'm not letting you on this train because you're at the back of the line and you can't just demand to cut in front of everyone! It doesn't work that way."

*Visibly stunned by my response, and obviously not used to being put in her place* LONG PAUSE WITH BLANK STARE "....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."



This woman was an extreme pain... As was typing this entire novel of a story, lol.

I tried to quote only that last line--I must be doing something wrong. Highlighting then hitting quote apparently is not how it's done.

Okay, I think the best response to her saying she's not married to you would be "There is a God!" And yeah, have her pass revoked. She just wants to be a pain.

The Internet doesn't work that way, there's no way for a website to know what you've highlighted. To quote just part of a post you hit "Quote" then simply delete the parts you don't want from the text box.

Yesterday I heard the cast member saying her spiel: you kids need to be seated away from the opening side of the train. Some SG family thought the kid could sit on the steps while riding. SOL! Parents argued and security kicked them off the train.

When I was at WDW lat fall, my friends and I were on the train to heard out towards Splash Mountain. I saw SG trying to get off the train before it arrived to the station. I saw the swamps. Has anyone seen gators near the tracks?

[Shorty82]

Has anyone seen gators near the tracks?

I'm sure gators come up to the tracks sometimes. I know there are gators in the area. I've heard of them in the Rivers of America and in the creek that the train follows along the backstretch. The backstretch is where I'd be worried about gators on the WDWRR, not in the area around the Frontierland station. That whole area is well away from any waterways. Not saying it's impossible, just unlikely.

There ARE gators in Splash Mountain. And that is near the RR.
I wonder if guests would be able to tell if an alligator on the back stretch was real.

Good! :D:

If there are gators out there, we should see if they are hungry. Let a few guests loose from the train. Yell "Dinner Time." See the guests expression and see them try to climb back into the train with missing limbs.

I know over at MCO that gators have gotton on the run ways causing planes not to take off or land.

ROFL! :p:

Still looking for that 2nd gator at beginning of DLR's POTC......

New story:

We have a managers' office in Adventureland where the Leads have to go to turn in paperwork, etc. They'll usually ride the train from Main Street to New Orleans, then walk from there, seeing as to how it is a much shorter walk.

I was on Holiday 5 (which was pulling the Lilly Belle). I had the radio. Our Lead was riding up to NO. She gets off at NO. We depart. Apparently she noticed something as we were leaving. The radio calls went something like this:

"Holiday 5 from Conductor 1"

"Holiday 5 by" (short for 'standing by')

"Holiday 5, be advised: You have some guests in the Lilly Belle. Can you go ahead and kick them out?"

"10-4. Should I throw them out on the River, or wait until we get to Toontown?"

*Laughing* "Wait until you get to Toontown." *More laughing*



I'm such a smart-ass...

"....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

Apparently, you can tell her what to do. I believe on the AP and admission tickets states that ALL guests must listen to and follow the instructions that a CM tells them. It DOES NOT say that they can do whatever they want.
