Stupid Guest Tricks

Could you call custodial and tell them that someone just did a 10-100 or a 10-200 ?

:D

Not at WDW. Here Custodial doesn't even understand "Code V". We use "protein spill" instead, but even that isn't always understood. A few codes like V, H, and U would be a big help.

On which point, is there a code for cleanup of blood, or does Custodial automatically respond to an Alpha run?

Blood is just reffered to as medical cleanup. (something that is called quite often at Peter Pan due to children busting their lips on the lap bar)

At marquee, standing under the wait time: "how long is the wait?"
Having learned that it does not protect me from stupidity, i poked my head out from underneath, starred at the wait time, looked at the guest, looked agian at the wait time, looked down the queue, and said "about 120 minutes." they continued onward, bewildered.

Ok so we Coulda/Shoulda been 105 because we were sending empty cars/seats because the guest made a spill, so now it's a problem for who do we charge those hours to, if we had that few guests (which is what the counts show) why did we still have a full rotation. Nobody knew to call 105 though, which I did at least twice today, or at least instructed/concurred with tower to do.

101 Attraction Down
102 Attraction Up
103 Potty BReak
104 Guest with disabilities
105 Attractive GUest
115 Attractive guest (with attatchments)
120 Attractive Guest Too Old
At least where I used to work in MK

Since when is there a 102 and 103?

See, I thought that a "115' was like a 105, only they were 15 (or just plain underage)." ..at least, according to a coordintor.

Wow, I thought I had posted more than once here..

Man, that reminds me..
I'm out in front of Space Mountain the other day doing Fastpass return, and this lady walks up to the fastpass booth. She examines the 5-minute wait time. Then she examines the line of 30 people trying their damnedest to get fastpasses. Then she looks the 5-minute wait indicator again.
So finally, she walks up to me and says, "Am I missing something?"

So I'm like, "Hmmm?"

She says, "What does the fastpass do?"

I say, "Basically, it saves you the trouble of waiting in a long line and allows you to use a shorter queue when you return at the time indicated on the fastpass."

She looks at the 5-minute sign again, and looks at the fastpass line at the machines, which has gotten longer by this time. Then she turns back to me.

"Am I missing something?"

"Why so?"

"Is it really 5-minutes?"

"Maybe less, ma'am."

"Well I don't understand, why are those people trying to get fastpasses? Am I missing something?"

"Nope." *grin*

"So what are they trying to do?"

"People are obsessed with fastpasses, ma'am. I guess they're crazy."

"Well, that's dumb. Thanks."

Then she and her family walk in and ride, as the fastpass queue grows.

FINALLY. A guest FIGURED IT OUT!!!

Hey, Im new here (not a CM yet, just enjoy a good day in the parks). as an AP to WDW, I dont have a need to cram as many attractions into one day, so most of the time I tend to sit around and watch humanity and stupidity at its finest . reading here, i found out i have seen many of the stories you tell (though guests like to copy the dumb stuff they see the others get in trouble for). ANyways, I have seen some pretty dumb guests over the years, and I thought Id share my favorite.

I walk up to Splash Mt and am about to get in line (standby) when I see a guest arguing with a CM (this was a while ago) about his fastpass. the wait time was about 10 minutes (good for splash) and this guest was arguing how he "paid good money" for something and was angered he couldnt use his fastpass then. later I find out that the guy bought the fastpass from ebay or a friend thinking that it would save him time.

not too funy, but at the time it was to see how much guests plan ahead of time. like the families with synchronized watches who must have exactly 12.356 minutes to go through an attraction because they have to see mickey at 1537 hours.

Anyways, im off...gotta get ready (hitting the parks tomorrow)

Bought his FastPass on EBay?! I think that must take the cake for all stupid guest stories! ANyone who buys a FastPass on EBay deserves what they get!
