Stupid Guest Tricks

My wife and I to this day still use Disney acronyms and terminology. Most notorious (and annoying) is "ECV." We loved to complain about those things during our Disney days, yet we still use the damn Disney acronym.

Speaking of ECVs, we went to a fair here in Washington that rented the same ECV's (see, there I go again) that DLR had in 2000-2001. I saw someone trying to plug one in, and it just brought back all kinds of nightmares.

As a former almost local, I am curious as to which fair.

There's a video someone posted here that tells you everything you need to know about ECVs. Can't seem to find it, but it's the one of the lady at closing laying on her horn trying to get people to move out of her way.

It was the Puyallup Fair, formerly known as the Western Washington Fair.

I should also note that when we still worked at DLR, we saw the same ECVs rented at the Orange County (California) Fair. Many times were we tempted to turn the ECVs off when the drivers did something to piss us off.

I had a fellow cast member interpret the Disney point to me the other day....

We use two fingers because the Index finger tells you where we want you to go, and the next finger down tells you what we want you to do.

He was joking of course, he wasn't bitter or anything.
