Stupid Guest Tricks

Location: Fantasmic!, Dinner Strollers
-Guest :( as they hand me their Dinner Package card, that they received when they ate dinner..) "So, where do we pick up our dinner?"

Location: Coaster, Merge
-"We have to be at an autograph signing by star tours in 10 minutes, we can make it right?"
Right...I know we aren't the largest park around, but if anyone out there can get from merge at coaster, to unload, and all the way to star tours in 10 minutes, kudos.

Let me catch up here:

JordansDad: You weren't told about that river/canal? Its the same one that the boat from Magic Kingdom to Universal goes to...

PirateJohn: There's only one place that anyone could really pull making out at and get away with it (I know, cause I've done the research myself) and that's the post show area at Sounds Dangerous (And people say that attraction is worthless)...

Mark: As for you my friend, I can get from Muppets to the Fantasmic Trailer in 2 minutes...I've had friends clock me, it's been done. Seeing as you can't be Mark <deleted>, I'll say that you're the one of the new kids (With all due respect) to G-Force. Don't worry, I'm not a stalker, this is just CJ (Well, Chris to you right now, aka "The one the never smiles", CJ will come later). It'll be hard to top the ones I've had at Coaster, you can try, but you will fail.

Well before I begin rambling...

Guest: (Asking about the "morphing guitar") "That's part of the ride, right?"
Me: No, it's just the entrance to the ride.
Guest: You sure?
Me: Nope, I just say that to continue a conversation after a stupid question like that.

This isn't a HYS, much as it is just someone not getting coffee:
Rope drop during Star Wars Weekends is done on Sunset for those who aren't f'n insane, who are here for a quite, nice day in the park. As we're walking those people to Coaster or Tower (Depending on which CMs they follow) I've gotten to the point to where I say to the other CM with me (about the car outside at the entrace to the G-Force) "I thought I told you not to park the car up there"

When out of nowhere comes a comment from a guest of "How could you possibly get a car up there and then keep in up there..."

Needless to say when we (The other cast member and I) got to the load area, I sized up one of the walls, and walked briskly...right into it. Why? To destract myself from the pain of that comment.

LOL! Well, at least you didn't send her to one of the Boston stores - I used to work at the Faneuil Hall store :stitch: and I worked there back in the day when we had a Warner Bros. store right down the end of the same building we were in...so we *always* got the "interesting" guest questions you did!

I loved when guests would ask me where the Pokiemon cards were...

Hey, small world. Up until about a year and a half ago I lived in Burlington, MA. I was on Winn Street right off of exit 34.

Oh no! Now I have that song in my head!!!!!!!

Seriously though I have family near there. Weird. I wish I had family in orlando or anaheim though.

I work at a resort front desk. At the time I was working at a resort that has a ferry that goes to Downtown Disney. A guest came up to the front desk and asked what time the ferry to the cruise line left. I asked her if she meant the bus to which she replied no the ferry. I began to explain that our ferry only goes to DD and we have a bus that shuttles guests to the cruise line. She began to get irritated and insisted that there is a ferry. I tried (in vain) to explain that there is no water way between WDW and Port Canaveral. She eventually walked away in a huff!

I feel your pain. When I worked at Captain Jacks (yes I have worked practically everywhere hence the Whore part of my name) at DD, I had a woman come up to the podium and ask me why the ferry dock didnt have a launch going back to MGM Studios. I explained to her the launches only ran to and from PORT/DIXIE, Disney Institute (we should've kept that name it so fitted many Guests), and DD West Side. She called me a liar and said she took the boat from MGM Studios to DD Disney. Guest Relations Deak was right next to our podium at the time, and they confirmed what I told her. Of course she took names and we were all getting fired. (yawn... go ahead and heres my nametag... you start now) She was directed by another cast member to the buses, and lady stormed off. Later that evening I got a call at the Guest Services desk... it was my phsycotic friend who rode the magic boat to DD. SHe informed me that I was a smart ass and she had just gotten off the boat from MGM at the DD Marketplace and she was looking right at my restaraunt and She was coming to talk to my manager immediately to get me fired. (Insert sound of MIdway game bells ringing in background). I said sure she was, could she tell me what was on the outside of my restaraunt she was looking at. You know very well the one with the neon fish blinking on it. I replied know it well mam Its the Flying Fish Cafe at the Boardwalk... not Cap'n jacks at the Marketplace where your calling. Have a MAGICAL DAY Ma'am. Elsewhere (then I proceeded to hang up on her)

LMAO!! My ex-roomie worked at Capt. Jack's....I remember him coming home with a similar tale of guests and their confused waterways...

My favorite is when guests ask "So, I can't get the monorail to the parks from here?" (this is when they're checking into a moderate hotel that only has park transportation by Disney bus). I swear, when they watch those Disney vacation videos and see the monorail going around the Grand Flo, the Poly and the Contemp..that they assume ALL Disney resorts are connected to the monorail system. Um, did you SEE any monorail station when you got off the lovely DME bus?

I once had a guest for whom I had to transfer their reservation and deposit to the Poly because they wanted a monorail resort and swore that CRO told them that ALL Disney hotels were connected via monorail (yeah, sure...I'm sure our reservation agents are running around misleading our guests about hotel amenities so that they're completely disappointed upon arrival...um, no). Funny enough, they were completely willing to pay the difference in rack rate, so I set them up with transportation to the Polynesian and they were on their merry way. Simply amazing.

tell me, in florida, do you get alot of code m's (mullets?) i sure would like to see if i could transfer for a summer or a year, just to see the ratio, or code m to not code m.

On a futher note, every code m you touch is another 7 years of good luck, i'm up to 30 years! I think i want a hotel job, stupid people make me happy, i'll injur myself and see if they'll put me on transitional work at front desk.
