Scary Regulars

[thomaskr]

I looked at the pictures of Tattoo Guy's house and all I can say is "Obsess much?" Walt himself didn't have that much stuff. I love Disney too, but this guy's house makes me want to vomit from Disney overload.

Just imagine him trying to SELL this house of his. ouch. Noticed that the "Micky Pond" looks "Barnaby Bear Pond". You'd think that a mega fan would have at least done *some* design work before slapping in a 12 foot fountain.

SCARY is not the word I would use to describe you and Elyse, you silly bubble-blowing woman! :D:

At least the Tattoo Guy is nice and generally friendly. There are lost of regulars who aren't either of those things.

But where the line should be drawn when it comes to "Stalker" and simple fun? Don't things (following characters and CM's around) like that lead to something worse?

When it's not Star Wars Weekends Linda Skywalker is obsessed with High School Musical. She wears a cheerleading costume (which is against the rules and its completely unfair that she is allowed to do that when no one else is, but that's another thread) and carries around a giant "W" shaped photo collage. She approached one of the entertainment CM's after the show because she wanted to show him the picture she had of him on the collage. It was him at Epcot on his day off. Its not ok, that's stalking. I've had long discussions with Linda and agree that she isn't dangerous, just a little different, but this is taking it way to far.

I've never seen Linda in the flesh. Does she even have the appropriate body type for a cheerleading costume?!

I have a question for CMs, would you want to know in advance that my son is autistic? He can be very animated at times but very flat at others. He is still a child but I can't help but worry about how people will react to him when he is an adult and I can't be there to help him every minute. So, if he were older and fully grown, would you want me to let you know he is autistic right off? It is easier to recognize Downs Syndrome than Autism. I'm honestly just curious.

Others have said this, but that is entirely up to you. I have worked with Autistic kids, so when parents let me know about their child's Autism I do everything I can to accommodate that child. But if you don't want to explain it to every CM you pass just get a Guest Assistance Card to use when he's having a hard time. I think most CM's want to do everything possible to make sure our guests have a good time, sometimes that means knowing about special circumstances. If we knew the whole story it would probably clear up a lot of the issues in this thread.

There's a couple of regulars at WoF that are more on the unusual side, not sure I would go so far as to call them scary.

One guy is apparently there almost every weekend, and he walks around in a WoF jacket, nice button down shirt, and tie. I honestly thought he was a manager or supervisor. I remember asking him a question which made it clear I thought he was a manager or supervisor and he never bothered to correct the impression.

Another guy is known as the "Mamba King". He has a really grungy looking airbrushed shirt with that on there. My father rode in the same car with him one day and he was trying to ride it 60 times in one day. I understand having a favorite ride, but that's taking it a bit far. He was in he audience for the show my family and I saw yesterday and he and his entire group were very obnoxious. One member of the group was yelling across the theatre as he came to join them, and said a few curse words. Now, I was with my cousin and her children who are 5 and 8 respectively, and I felt their behavior was very inappropriate with young kids right there. I felt kind of bad for the cast members of the show because of some of the comments they were making during the show.

Uh oh, I'd better watch it or I'm gonna find myself on this thread as "Crazy Monorail Head Lady." I've been visiting the parks more than usual this summer, and I always wear my headpiece that makes it look like a monorail had run through my head (think Steve Martin arrow). I get lots of CM and guest comments about it. I don't think they sell 'em anymore...got it years ago at the Contemporary.

That's neat! I bet a lot of people like it! I think the best way to get yourself mentioned here is to either stalk certain CMs (mainly entertainment) or be belligerent to the CMs.
