Stupid Guest Tricks

I am sure she went screaming to GR about me. She made sure she had my name and city from my nametag. She is one guest that I pray had a horrible day filled with down rides and just missed characters.

When off to the side this group starts smiling and waving. It was an obvious special needs family with a sweet kid holding up his brand new buzz and woody action dolls. Sadly the line was closed and since they were not a green light family we continued on.

Up comes this one Latin american family who waited some time. They looked over at the special needs and announced they would like to trade places. Get out of line and let the special needs family take thier place in line. Well we were all touched. This NEVER happens, so why not.

So the special needs family comes in and tears were flowing as the sweet boy lite up and smiled ear to ear. He couldn't communicate very well but you could tell he was in HOG Heaven and would be talking about this experience for some time.

The family who offered their place were on the way out when we decided that was to kind and even though they did protest we insisted they at least get the picture they originally came for.

It just a nice way to end the evening. Especially since just the hour before a lady insisted that it was rude for a character to goof around. They should be standing quietly, sign the book , take ONE picture and then let the next family come in. Waiting over 30 minutes to see a character is outrageous. Well Boo Hoo. Thank god for nice people and good manners.

It looks to be their older son, who is blind, maybe more, to meet Stitch. Their daughter refuses to take pics (with her cell phone of all things), because "it ain't got no flash on it!" Was just fine for her daughter... I just started taking pictures and then got their email address. Hopefully the dad/grandpa got it typed out correctly. Sitch brought the guy face to face with him, took the guys hands and let him rub over Stitch's head.

I just looked at the pics, now I'm tearing up. Time to get these emailed out!

I felt for the family who was going to be spending the rest of the day with the daughter who seemed to be there just for herself, and *maybe* her daughter.
