I would add, when you check for the name badge, make sure it's a white Cast Member badge, and not one of the other-colored "Guest of Honor" badges that many guests have. :)GhostHostAnth wrote:ALWAYS look for a name badge on a Cast Member - don't walk up to someone who's wearing a pin lanyard and ask if they work there because several guests wear pin lanyards (it's a little thing called pin trading). Thanks!

Missed Ernie Saturday,but will send a message :(Main Streeter wrote:dazy, Ernie is west & TL, yet all over DL when needed. The other day @ lunch a DLS Officer referred to Ernie as an impala. Fitting analogy. :)
Ernie has been on Bereavement leave for a month. He returns today, if possible. I'm not sure if he will lead Color Guard or attend Flag Retreat today due to the emotional trauma. Ernie's twin sister, Ernestine, was very ill the first of May. He & his entire family from Chicago, Va. & Ga. went to be with Ernestine. He returned from N.J. on a Thurs. totally exhausted. Ernie called Ernestine the next night & felt she might be better. Within hrs. after they lovingly spoke Ernestine was gently taken by God. Ernie repacked for the sad trip back to N.J. where all the family again gathered. The loss of a twin is an extremely deep wound most can't comprehend. The loneliness is a void which will not be filled nor forgotten. Not ever. Ernie was a brother plus Ernestine's twin, thus much of the service was planned with him totally involved. How he so gracefully handled the service & poignant farewell to his twin amazes me. Ernie just returned Mon. He is emotionally drained, & has been sleeping most of the time - when the pain allows rest.
All positive messages & support for Ernie - he Needs them - are welcomed on Facebook page. Key DisneyLandFlagRetreat. Ktulu, will you please post the click link on thread for me? I can't get this to cooperate. Anyone wanting to send cards or notes to Ernie can PM me. I will print for him or give a snail address.
While on the subject of support - I must Thank Ktulu for his caring, loyal concern, & words which still bring tears, yet help heal. Thank you too BW for your heart, friendship, & forwarding. Shorty, thank you for giving Ernie so much kindness. I can always count on your strength. You three are such honorable men.

I heard from Koda that the most difficult autograph request he ever got from a guest was to sign with a golf pencil on the (slick paper) Epcot brochure!EeyoresButterfly wrote:I know this is old and now not reall needed as the trip is over, however, in case others read:
In terms of signing, I have it from Mickey and many of his friends that the easiest pens to sign with are normal pens. Slightly fatter pens work well, but the characters are quite adept at signing with just a regular pen. The ones that will mean a bad signature are the exceptionally fat or long ones. They are hard to hold and often the weight is funny. The other thing that is hard are those mini sharpies! The characters all cringed when those came out!
