I usually take in a few friends. I will hold onto their gate passes and pass it to them before we all go in together.

If there is a 5 minute wait for Big Thunder RR, why is it hard for SG to figure out how many are in their party? I keep on hearing on slow days, attraction crew asking on the intercom, please let a host or a hostess know how many are in your party.

I wonder if they eat something greasy and their brain goes bye-bye? :mad:

Today my sister Mo, my aunts and I went to D-land and DCA. We were in line for Space Mountain. There were a group of high school kids not paying any attention. We had to yell at them to move and get the line going. When the cast member was grouping, she asked the group how many? And let me tell you, the girl drew a blank expression on her face. She cast member told them to wait over to the side and come up with an answer. Yup, it was not greasy food, it was the lack of brains in this group. We play a game while we are people watching in our family. "Are you dumber than a 1st grader?" Yup, I believe this group of high school kids won that game quite quickly. :eek:

A few days ago there were a bunch of high school kids in the park. I believe this was Monday. Roughly 20 kids got in line for Big Thunder. This line was roughly 1 hour long. The kids decided to make the line shorter for them. They jumped into the fast pass line and were caught. Security did escourt them out of line and that was the end of their fun. :twisted:

I had a tantrum in the break room a few days ago about this.
Me: How many in your party?
Him: Que?
Me: Quantos por favor
Him: Once'
Me: Cinco aqui y seis aqui
Him: Gracias

So they decided to shove past me and line up 5, 4, and 4...which makes this clearly NOT A LANGUAGE BARRIER!



*Excuse the terrible theme park spanish.

Ug, not fun. Haven't had that happen yet at GMR, but I'm sure I will soon. Especially since we got a big Brazilian Tour Group at the ride today and I just have a feeling that foreshadows something to come.

Yeah, grouping the tour groups is no fun whatsoever. It drives me crazy.

Speaking of which, I was trying to group a party of 14 today and while I was trying to figure out how to divide them up, most of them walked right onto the vehicle without getting clearance from me.

*facepalm*

And that was when I decided that ADB (one of our load positions at GMR) is the bane of my existence.
