Stupid Guest Tricks

I just took a photography course this past semester and we used 35mm cameras with film. We developed our own film and prints and everything. It was really neat. Most of my friends couldn't conceive of using a 35mm camera and developing my own film. (5 hours to get a single decent print, ahhh!) It was neat, and now I feel like I understand digital better. Everything in digital is based on film and print processing techniques.

Believe it or not, I actually had a guest ask me if we sold 110 film sometime around 2002 or 2003. I called around and sure enough, the Main Street photo shop carried it. By that time it was only available in one speed as a 3-pack.

So, to get through bag check fast bring cookies, ill remember that. 110 camera, I see them in thrift stores all the time, i even remember when they first came out, it could fit in a breast pocket, in fact i think my father used one at WDW back in 76, i still have the pics. I've shot a lot of 35mm B/W at DL over the last few years studying photography, i had a prof comment on one of my pics of mainstreet station, he said you just dont see a lot of B/W pics of DL these days so I started shooting a lot of them. My favorite camera is a Yashica electo 35 rangefinder from the late 60's early 70's. These take great pics. I also have a yashica half that shoots a half frame 35mm but the best one I used at DL was a yashica model B, which is a medium format 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 twin lense reflex, no meter, from the 60's took great pics and every time I pulled it out people stopped and looked and asked what I was doing.

LOL...not to umm...mess up our record of going OT within so many posts but I do have a security check question of sorts. DONT FAINT CAUSE THE THREAD TOPIC IS BACK :p: ....LOL

Sept this year, we are having a meet or sorts for the one ladie's engagement (same one I was asking for scavenger hunt clues for) I am getting there around 1pm before everyone else to enjoy my day till it is time to get ready for the hunt. OK....we (donnie and I) have LOTS of stuff to bring in with us. Homemade light up ears as favors, 120 mardi gras necklaces, treat"participation prize" bags, a plushie, mini flashlights. etc. Enuf stuff for 20 ppl. At this point, they fill up 2 brown paper grocery bags. I will be sticking it all in a locker till later that evening. UMMM...what should I do so I dont tie up the security line for 1/2 hour? I was hoping to get hold of a CM ahead of time (wont bother anyone till closer to the day) to help get us thru OR I figured just maybe have Donnie hold the stuff off to the side and go tell a non busy security person who looks nice what I am doing and can we step aside to do the check so I dont make other people wait. HELP!

I just like to get small details out of the way early so I can relax later. :D:

If they are vegetarians then why bring in cheeses? The park allows special diets to bring meals in but that does go overboard if you are bringing everything in the pantry and fridge, lol. Maybe they planned to sell the food in the park, lol. Old days I would gladly pay $5 for bread and cheese over the parks high prices, lol.

Se you tomorrow, limitting myself to one post a day. sigh.

It just makes me laugh. I could understand if it's different cultures, okay? But I have seen people who are obviously not new to the area or being theme park goers have a hissy fit when they cannot bring in their own food.

I'm sorry, darling this isn't the local beach or city park where you can BBQ or have a picnic lunch for free.

Go try it at Knott's or Magic Mountain 'cause it's not gonna work here.

:angrymob:

Some vegetarians still eat/drink dairy products and eggs. Vegans do not eat any animal product.

At WDW we allow "small, soft-sided, coolers that will fir in a locker at the theme parks. However, at the water parks anything goes. If you can carry or wheel it, we will allow it in.

Only restrictions are nothing in glass and no alcoholic beverages. And nothing on a wagon. We do not have security inspecting at the water parks, and it devolves on the Greeters to check anything that looks like a cooler.

If we find prohibited items we give them 2½ choices. 1 is to return it to their car. 2 is to throw it away. 2½, if it is not an alcoholic beverage, we will provide a plastic (about 16 oz) water cup to transfer the stuff into. Some of the things in glass are pickles, salsa, Tabasco, Starbucks, Snapple, Mayonnaise.

Usually after checking a cooler (and seeing nothing prohibited) I may plaintively ask: "Do you have any chocolate cake?" and will tell them that we primarily look for items in glass but we are having a party this afternoon...

I remember when I worked at Knott's the policy was no outside food, except baby food, or kiddy snacks or if you're on a special diet. I still laugh at the memory of this one lady who asked me if Knott's had any places that sold "safe" foods. It was all I could do to keep from telling her that she'd be better off eating off property, considering that Knott's eateries have a terrible record of health inpections. But since she specified salads, etc., I told her any of the sit-down restaurants should have what she wanted.

During the Jewish High Holidays, I remember the Orthodox Jews bringing in their boxes of matzo crackers, etc.. No guarantee of finding kosher food at Knott's, so that was allowed in. Face it, at Knott's you're better off bringing your own food, and it has nothing to do with money.

Anything with bacon is the perfect food. Bacon wrapped bacon for instance!
