Space Mountain Stupidity

[justafigment84]

Ok, I'm going to be a dork. Who are you? Cause I know I talked to some of the merch cast members and they were awesome, some of the old people were a little anti social, but everyone was awesome. I was the opinionated redhead in attractions, really the only readhead in buzz complex, but I also sported the weezer glasses if that helps.

I am Sharon. I just got here in December and started working Buzz like the 19th or so. Most of the ops people I have talked to are pretty cool.

Wish I coulda taken kids by to see this and say "See this is why you don't try to jump the queue."

"See kids, that's blood. Now, there really should be some grey matter there, called brains, but this person doesn't have any." :D:

One of my (many) pet peeves is when parents let their kids swing on the queue line ropes. In Exposition Hall one night, a kid was swinging on the ropes and not less than four different CMs asked him to stop. He kept swinging though, and then eventually the rope broke and the silly kid landed right on his butt. Started crying big alligator tears while the mother muttered about shoddy ropes not being strong enough. Well, ma'am, if your fat kid had listened when we said "don't swing on the ropes" he wouldn't have fallen. Have a magical day.

I REALLY hate when kids don't listen about the ropes. Also, I hate when people don't pay attention to the 10-ton floats driving in front of them and feel that they need to cross the street NOW- instead of waiting or going to a spot where they CAN cross.

That would require walking, which many of the fat inhabiters of Disney Resorts cannot handle. :twisted:

I had a guest argue with me for 10 minutes during the first show stop of PoD at the photo supply by the CFA lane. First he argued that there were cross overs during THIS parade (there are not I told him I have worked THIS parade since May when it started) and also when we have cross overs during OTHER parades, this isn't a crossing point ANYWAY. In the time he argued with me he could have walked up to the hub and crossed.

You gotta love it. Back in December, I was waiting for the SADCT parade on MSUSA. You hear the music in the background, since the parade has already started, and people wait until they see the first float to decide that they need to cross the street.

During the busy chirstmas season, I was working in front of buzz lightyear at fastpass return. The line was long, and instead of going to the back of the line, a lady decided to drop the chains and enter. I told her not to take down the chains, her response was "well a lady over there did it," my response, "just because someone else did it, doesn't make it right or safe."

Actually (this is a good one) I had something happen during a Spectro I was working that involved an ECV. I was on the Emporium side of Fire House (right in front of Emporium/Barber Shop) when this family decides that they REALLY need to cross. Well, while I'm telling them that they CAN'T cross here, on the other side a man in an ECV decides that he wants to cross too! Now this is all going on while the floats are still moving!! The CM on the other side races over to him, because where exactly is he supposed to go? For those who don't know what this area looks like, the one side by the Fire House is flat area in front (which is where he was). But on my side (the Barber Shop side), it is all curb, with only 1 incline where people were already sitting (for the parade). So, where did he want to go exactly? That was just one of my crazy PAC experiences.

Unfortuantely, some people dont even know about fastpass. Many people I get in line with think that the other line is simply an alternative standby line, like the lines at Pirates. I stopped about 6 people from switching lines becuse they thought that it was just a shorter line.
