Yep, disembodied monorail voice. I hear it everywhere, it's an amazing phenomenon.

Sometimes, he tells me to take over the bus and take it to Epcot. But then I get thinking, how do I take over a bus over which I am already in control? :D:


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Does the voice ever repeat itself in Spanish?
Por favor, mantengan se alejado de las puertas... :D:

They certainly are getting dumber. More foreign tourists come to the park claiming to not know a word of English and you wonder how they got there in the first place. Guests not listening to you at all. Guests lying about everything. Guests trying to get CMs in trouble by lying to the coordinators and managers, who have better things to do. Guests walking into the ride when the doors are closing.

No offense, I'm not racist, but once a guest tells me they don't speak English, I find someone else who'll put up with them even if I know the language. I'm not playing that game anymore. I've been way too nice to accomodate them in their native language, yet they lie about not knowing how to speak English, and they lose my respect. I've also taken the liberty of walking away from guests and sometimes completely ignoring them when they make the "I don't speak English" excuse. Whether or not a conversation is going on with them or they try to ask a question, once their grammar starts to mess up, goodbye, find someone else to annoy with your babbling.
