Aye. The only difference between 3A, 3B, and 4A are the offset stanchions (about to be moot as the stanchions are being removed). All cars have the same seat configuration. There is no reason a guest assistance lanyard card gives priority to those three doors. However, I will ensure the person gets a seat. Although, that may be the next train. But for some reason Guest Relations gives the card to everyone in the party, so naturally they are all entitled :rolleyes:

I get into arguments about it all the time. Recently had a lady who wouldn't move down because she had a sleeping child in her stroller. Complete stupidity, you're moving around the park all day. You're here, you're going to walk. TBH though, I hope the a-holes like that absolutely hate WDW and never return. Makes a better place for the rest of the guests who are usually awesome. Luckly, I didn't have to load a chair into that door. If I did, I would have blocked their stroller with my foot and ensured plenty of room.

I am not ballsy enough to deactivate the air line on the gate. If management gets wind of it via a narc in monorails (aka "M.C.", James, etc.) then I would have been "overzealous," as management has dubbed it.

wow...just..well, wow..

Bocho said it best though!! Can you image the "conversation" leading up to the making of that little entitled monster?

Him: But we should probably use protection
Her: Fuck Protection. I've slept with these 20 guys with me and not gotten pregnant. I'm not a fucking babymaker.



Really though, not much pushes me over the edge, but the comment about "the crippleds" would have made me call security. I understand her being hot and tired, but what friggen brainiac goes to Florida in AUGUST and thinks it's going to be cool? I hope she has stretch marks from hell...

Slept with 20 guys?? :eek: I wouldn't touch that with a full body condum.

(of course I always love when gals play the PG card. I 'think' to myself "Don't look at me lady,I'm sterile") ;)

Gotta say this reminds me of a major pet peeve of mine at my attraction. We are a bumpy ride, a very bumpy ride...we have signs and announcements all over the place saying "pregnant mothers should not ride." Never fail every time I am loading guests I will get a few very obviously pregnant woman asking me if the ride really is bumpy. Alright I can deal with that, sometimes warnings can seem a little over the top (think mission:space) so they want to double check before having to sit out. Well my answer always is "yes, this is an extremely bumpy ride and at time a bit fast". Well I just don't understand the woman who listen to me, appear to think over what I just said, then decide they would like to ride anyways. Sometimes I can get the woman's party to talk her out of riding, find the person who looks like the husband and repeat its a very bumpy ride, but usually they just ride anyways.

I don't know I mean maybe I am just getting into other people's business but I would hate to think a theme park ride lead to someones pregnancy complications.

I think there are some people out on board X telling women to ride up front where it is less bumpy, so they are probably looking for you to tell them that so they know if the SG's on board X are totally full of crap, or just partially full of crap.

Sooooo, that said, is the front row less bumpy ;)

If you need proof how bumpy it is, sit in the front seat and watch how the cab and passenger area move *quite* independently of each other.

Of course, it also depends who is in control. If it's a guy there, I think his name is Kyle, you're in for a very, VERY bumpy ride, but a great show!

On the Safaris it is very bumpy in the back row and smoother toward the front. Been there and felt the pain of the back row. I have told people that the front rows are smoother on Safaris but that is for people with disabilities like bad backs and arthritis not for pregnant women. The back row of a long ride vehicle usually whips more than the front like on roller coasters.

Maybe them pregnant ladies are trying to do a quick removal of the evidence of the trysts.

as a mom of 2 i do know about being pregnant. i often wonder why women would even go to WDW while pregnant. they technically shouldn't be on most of the rides. the same goes for the couple who go to the park w/an infant. why? you can't enjoy most of the rides together, you need to ride swap and not to mention the fact that you have to deal w/formula ,diapers, etc.
as for the foul mouth bee-yotch, it's a shame she was blessed w/being pregnant. some people should not have children. and to top it off, her reaction to the people in wheelchairs was truly awful. as i see it, her handicap is STUPIDITY, and she is incurable.
