John or Smiley as you all know him is mentally challanged. If i remeber correctly one of his siblings used to work at the company too. And John has some odd restricitons like only being able to be on one side of the park per day (Adventureland side or Tomorrowland side) and he can't wear all black.

He is a nice guy just really creepy. Oh well..

I like Warren.

"Do you guys accept bad checks?"

One of the Fantasyland Mad Hatter example hats said Warren for a short time, a couple of years ago. Got changed when it was discovered, guess the leads didn't want to encourage him! I loved to see the faces of the people he randomly bought hats for. "How much?" "It's free for you today!" "Whaaat?"

John (smiley) is a little off, he's definatly challenged, but it seems that he would have turned out alot less creepy if someone had taken the time raise him. and he'll ride the front or back of the sweeperdepends on where the girl is, or if it's only guys, he'll sit where ever, usually behind a conductor he feels will provide the best conversation, i've seen him sit in all manor a places, however, i find it odd that he never takes the cabose.

There have been a few times when Warren and I would be walking and talking around KBF (like i said, haven't seen him yet @ DL), and he would tell me to go up to a certain person in a certain shop and tell them "Warren said that you have to give me a (insert item here) for free." Of course, the emp. would look at Warren, and just shake his/her head.

He was actually kicked out of Knott's by Jack Falfas himself (the general manager of Knott's, and a VP of Cedar Fair), because according to Jack, Warren was "ruining guest experience" Merely because so many emps. know him. On the train, the robbers will honestly say "stick 'em up, Warren!" I guess Jack got too pissed off at an AP that comes EVERY DAY. He is now allowed back in the park, though. I guess they need his business during the year. . LOL

HAHAHA

Oh man..so many Smiley stories...I wrote about him a lot in a post down below...

For all of you who are trying to find Smiley, I mostly have seen him at night on my attraction. I am unfortunately one of the girls he "smiles a little bigger at". LOL. Anyway, he has a jean jacket with tan sleeves and usually wears jeans. I've never seen him with a hat. He has reddish hair and I don't believe I've ever seen him with a hat on.

His name is John, he was kicked out of the park a while ago for touching a Main Street horse "inappropriately". Apparently he even told a cast member he was fired from a Ralphs store for doing the same thing (he is known to make himself happy in the rides, too). Supposedly his mother is a prminent lawyer, and fought to get her son back into the park with his AP.

Does anyone know Robert???? The guy who keeps a careful log of every single ride and every single time he goes on the rides?? He is mentally handicapped, but unlike Smiley, he never bugs anyone and is absolutely adorable. Lol

Robert is so nice! He and (sometimes) his friend Brett come into the Emporium EVERY SINGLE NIGHT and try to help us close. They try to put things away and stay there until every last guest is out of the store, which is sometimes as late as 1:45 on nights the park closes at midnight. I always wondered what he had in that notebook! From what he has told me, he gets to the park sometime around 10 in the morning every day and is, I believe, the last guest out the gate. Now that's dedication!

Robert is so nice! At pooh we give him his own Beehive and always ask him how many times. He rides 4 or 5 times in a row. My lead was at Dispatch and was telling Robert about the refurb of Snow White (I think he rides that one a lot too)

Yep, I've met Robert. He's usually the last one to ride Autopia (or at least he was a couple of summers ago when I worked Fastpass there) One of the CMs I work with in Toontown thought he was a Mystery Guest when he first saw Robert since he had a notebook and all.

No, that's obsession. There is a difference. Dedication comes with a (tiny) paycheck.
