Do I need to hunt down a manager? How can I distinguish a manager?

The best thing you can do for a CM -- other than thank them directly -- is to visit Guest Relations and let them know. WDW doesn't have Guest Comment cards any more (I'm not sure about DL). Good news is rare, so it's usually taken seriously and forwarded to the right department quickly. (What the local manager does about it is another matter.) As others have stated, the name, location, and exact time are a very big help in getting it to the right CM.

Another thing you might consider is to give them a "What Would Walt Do" pin. See the WWWD website for details on how to get them. Looks like this:
:wwwd:

Oh I did not know these pins existed Zazu, thanks for the info. Too late for us to order them for our trip tomorrow but we will have them next year.

Never. Banish the thought.

(And seriously, don't post stuff like this. I don't use taxpayer time -- when I post during the day it's on breaks -- but I'd rather not have the issue put in the mind of anyone who might care!)

Plz include location, name (maybe a description of C M), date, time, clearly stated compliment. Tell G R @ C H to fax your G C over to CMs location asa they can. There seems to be lots of G C not making it to CMs - at least at DL. Finding a manager? Good luck on this one. ;)

See that's exactly what we were trying to do! We asked variably for Great Service Fanatic Cards (evidently just for CMs to compliment other CMs according to an earlier comment), feedback forms, any form to write up an awesome CM, but everyone at guest relations/city hall/etc. acted like we were asking for a chartreuse goose from Africa.

Wouldnt that be found near the oasis at Animal Kingdom ? :p:

I had the same experience in Animal Kingdom. I took a tour and the tour guide was fabulous. I went to guest services for a CM compliment form and they looked at me like I had two heads. They just gave me a piece of blank paper and told me to write what I wanted.
