Guests Freaking out about MNSSHP-

[Notatourist]

You know, Universal doesn't have this problem. To enter the "Stay and Scream" area you have to have a ticket. If you don't, there's the gate, have a great evening...

They don't let the MASSES in until the park is cleared.

Unreal.

I would not sue. I was at WDW during that Christian event and could not get out of the parking lot. They was coming in as people were leaving. My brand new rental car got a ding because a "Christian" event goer took his fist to the car when I yelled at his girl friend who jumped in front of my car. She was faster than the dudes on skid row at night and uglier.

The problem they are addressing is that you have two crowds going in opposite directions and a probable nightmare with traffic. I did a Fourth of July nightmare at SeaWorld and it took me 3 hours to get onto the freeway and 10 miles of looping through San Diego County lost.

Attract lots of flies to feed Kermit at the Muppet Show in DCA.

I have also been to the afterhours parties. As stated, the only thing the "uninvited" guests can partake in is the fireworks and parade. My question to them is why bother staying? You can't go on the attractions or take part in the other festivities that require a wrist band. Disney just can't "throw out" the other guests, that would make great press with the local rag sheet called the Orlando Sentinel. If the guests do not care to take notice of the signage (why should they? Some of these same guests probably do not obey speed limit or stop signs either), that is their problem.

The only reason I would stay at an afterhours party without a ticket is to watch or take or photograph the fireworks and/or parade. But, on another night, I would also have paid admission to see everything else. I can't judge the MNSSHP, since I have never attended, but with the MVMCP, the events are timed so that you can either watch the special show(s), watch the parade, find a seat for the fireworks, or ride the rides, buy the MVMCP pin(s), get your picture taken, and get hot chocolate and cookies, etc. You cannot do both, or at least not everything.

Maybe that's Disney's way of getting you to come back.

What I find especially pathetic is that some are saying they're going to be Looking out for guests without wristbands and reporting them to the nearest CM", another wants to call the executive offices and count how many people she sees without bands on. WTH? They're going to spend all this money to go there and whine and tattle tale on suspected party crashers? If anyone other then a CM ask me to show my wrist band I'm going to LOL and tell them to get a life. These people need to get a gripe and just go and have fun.

That is rediculous but then I am only the second stupidest guest, lol. You pay lots of money to attend a special event then stand there yelling "no wrist band, arrest that intruder!" If I could only have the chance to go back to DLR and to be able to ride all the rides pain free and fear free like them schmucks.

It is a pain in the rump when you have an event coming in as the day's crowd is leaving but you could be more creative like shout "HAHA me passholder and me got tickets, nyah nyah nyah nyah" splashing sound "help I fell into the Rivers of America and cannot get out". Canoe operator then dumps Dasani caps on head of event attendees.

I would like to explain the expression "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar." The honey is a sweet attitude, being nice/polite, etc.. The vinegar is a sour disposition, rudeness or being angry. The flies are what you're trying to get. Anybody here remember flycatching strips? They were strips of paper coated with a sticky substance; any fly that landed on it would get stuck and die=fewer flies in your face. Honey attracts flies, acts like a fly strip. Vinegar drives them away, meaning they'll still bother you. Bottom line, if you are polite when asking guests to leave, you'll get more cooperation than if you ordered them around; give them a leave the park or get arrested attitude, and they'll go berserk. Granted, we have all had people whom we have treated politely, and they still went psycho on us. But people will do what you want more often if you are polite than if you're rude. Clear? :D: ;)
