I almost clicked that site agian, thanks agian for killing my brain cells, were all those pictures even taken in the DLR? If you're going to call it Fan catagories, then maybe you should give more than just a description of the catagory, and actually catagorize them, BTW, none of those picture, or at least not alot of them, were of particularly creepy guests. Do it right next time, and i'll hail you.

At Laughingplace they are talking about AP's paying alot of money to be a CM for the day. :roll: That would be the day! I never really had problems with APs but from what I heard, this would be the greatest pay back in the world. If they think they know everything about my attraction and how it works, they will be in for a big surprise. Better yet, lets put them at F! for a few days. :twisted: What you think about it?

I always thought that pulling Fantasmic GC one night and letting the show try and run itself would be more entertaining....

She claimed she didn't know they weren't transferable DESPITE the pass saying that it's not and it had his photo and name on it. Helloooooooooooo. I wanted to say c'mon lady who are you kidding? The CM who helped her was quite good, keeping calm and not laughing at her - although you knew she probably wanted to smack the lady. I'm not sure what the outcome was because I left. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. :(

HOSTESS - I too have an annual pass. I make the distinction that I am NOT an AP, as I used to be a cast member (parades, characters, attractions, store ops, Fantasmic! performer and lead), and I don't act like an AP. It's funny how people will try to cheat. My wife and I stood in line behind a family, and the gate CM asked this woman's son how old he was, "Four" the little tyke replied. The woman kept trying to get him in for free, claiming he was three! So what? That's still the youth price - 3-11! Woman couldn't fathom that, and apparently didn't read the fine print. Wasted WAY too much of our time waiting for her to wise up.

AP guests can drive other guests crazy too (and I purchase an AP but only because it works out economically, we usually only make it down to WDW once a year.)

I can spot them a mile away. But I bet if you guys saw me you wouldn't know we were an AP family LOL. That's cause we're very pro-cm, don't try to get around the rules (that stuff drives me NUTS) and still believe that above all else, WDW is for children...

What would you say is the biggest beef you have with AP's?

That they try to tell us how to do our jobs.

i never realized it before, but that's what really makes me mad about not just APs but guests in general. The way i see it, in CA at least, we've passed the state rquired training regiment, so therefore we're right.

I agree with Scream162 and GMC. I think I said this on another post, there isn't a Lead or Trainer shadowing me therefore I passed my PA so I know what I am doing

I hear that! That's frustrating no matter what job you have! It's kind of like how much I hate it when my sisters, neither of whom have children, tell me how to parent my 8 year old LOL.

As if they have a clue...

Well I'm glad to know that I don't do the most annoying thing that most AP's do! Like I said, if you met me you'd never know I had one.

It finally happened ladies and gentlemen, the first conflict with an AP. So I'm at the Matterhorn A-side group (ya, group) and a wheelchair comes up to the "ex-"wheelchair gate. I inform them in a nice manner that you have to wait through the line on the other side. They mumble something and ask for my name. I thought they were going to turnsile to do whatever because our GAC and stupid things like that changed after the rehab. I was wrong!
I get my break and my lead comes to talk to me. She said this wheelchair guest comes to complain about me being mean, yelling at them, blah blah blah... and "I'm an AP." The moron wants to complain so my lead gives her a piece of paper to write down the complaint and as my lead said "Shread". It was a great laugh though but how dare someone put words in my mouth!
