I had a Guest ask me the fastest way to get to MK from Studio.

I said:

"The fastest way is just sprinkle on some Pixie Dust and fly over. But if that does not work go over to Stop #11 and take the bus."

They broke up laughing.

I like the troll in a suite thing. Is that the Cinderella Suite? :D:

I don't normally make fun of people for their spelling, but the moment you use your inability to spell to try to insult me, I can't hold back.

Now, there are two kinds of people I will make fun of for their spelling... those who I like that I know can spell well, like Cheshire Figment... and when I do make fun of them, I am coming down hard. But in the case above, it's all sarcasm. Actually, I am sure there would be some sarchasm involved... that's the distance between someone insulting someone else and the level of understanding of the person being insulted.


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?

I responded with this...
Until you are a CM you have no room to talk... I, as a matter of fact, have a great amount of pride in my job and I am offended that you would accuse me, or anyone else here, of not. If you are holier than thou I am assuming you've never made one negative remark about someone. You don't know what we do and until you do you can't make assumptions about us. You do what we do, and come back the next day to do it again and you will understand why we have to laugh about SOME guests. When you've worked as hard as we do, for as little as we do, just to put up with what we do then you can talk.

Thoughts?
I saw that. I seriously was about to pull my hair out. Hopefully he keeps his mouth shut now.

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

Yeah, it was getting nasty. Mods started deleting posts and threatened to delete members so now I am trying to steer clear before I say something I regret...

That's great!

The story with the pixie dust goes like this. It was the first week that the Store was open- this was only like the 8th DS in the whole country at the time. I don't know who thought it was a great idea, but they sold little glass bottles of 'pixie dust' glitter complete with Tink on the label.

I was greeting and this woman comes up to me with a child about the age of four. She says "Now this nice Disney Lady will tell you why you can't use this pixie dust to fly!" and she looks at me as if to say "You're on!"

Now, I'm flashing back in my head to the time I found a black feather in the backyard and thought I could fly like Dumbo. I launched from the top of the basement stairs and unfortunately, my sister just missed catching me as I hit the cement floor.

No stitches were required or anything, and to this day I've no ill effects from the flight at all! :odie:

Now I return to the moment thinking I don't want this little princess to try it off a higher location and really do some damage. So I stammer. . .

"It's. . . used."

"Used?" asks adorable little girl.

"Yes, it's, like, imported from Neverland and it's been used already. So it's only pretty to look at, but you CAN NOT fly with it!"

The mother was satisfied, the little girl promised me she'd remember- and soon after that we stopped settling bottles of pixie dust. Go figure.

Quick on your feet, aren't you? Good comeback. Kept that little girl's faith in pixie dust and also kept her from possibly harming herself. :)

I used to be fast. If that had happened now I would probably stare at her and stammer until I finally said, "Sorry, mickey's on the phone, have to answer! Don't fly okay? bye!" LOL
