Here's Your Sign: The Disney Saga

[SmartGuest]

Or maybe he was just trying to be friendly?? Sorry, no sign for him...

P.S. But I did get a kick out of the F-350 line! :p:

[CerasiJ]

Or maybe he was just trying to be friendly?? Sorry, no sign for him...

Oh, I know he was just being friendly, but when I was asked the question more than 10 times in one day, it starts to make ya nuts... kind of like people asking you a million times, "Do you work here???" Eventually, you just get tired of answering. :D:

P.S. But I did get a kick out of the F-350 line! :p:

Thanks! :D: I was telling the truth with that answer, LOL!

Hello all!

I am not a CM, not an AP, just a Disney-lover. I found out about these boards a couple of days ago, and just love them!

On October 27, I will visit Disneyland again (coming from Belgium, that's quite an exciting experience!)
I am quite sure I will see appear my questions on here... Why?
Although I do have an American accent (Texan, actually), I am not a native English speaker, and when I ask something, I never understand the answer, because Californians talk too fast.
So, Californian CMs, if during October 27 - November 1 you meet a tall young woman, with Minnie Mouse ears on red curls, that will be me, please, talk SLOWLY! ;)

While working at the Jungle Cruise I get several questions to the HYS type.

First one, also the most common:
Guest: Can you tell me where this drops you off?
(The unload dock is precisely twenty feet from the entrance)
CM: Universal Studios.

Two, also along the same lines:
Guest: Is this the boat to Animal Kingdom(sometimes Polynesian).
CM: Yes.

Three(at load):
Guest: Is this the shark ride?
CM: Yep, watch out for the shark. He pops up on the left.

Four(I know, it's been done):
Guest: What time is the 3 o'clock parade?
CM: Two sixty.

Five(About the Temple in the Mekong):
Guest: How long ago did you put this in here?
CM: About fifteen minutes ago, we were bored on break.

Six(at greeter, standing under the JUNGLE CRUISE Sign):
Guest: Is this Pirates of the Caribbean?
CM: Yup. Watch out for Jack Sparrow.

Seven:
Guest: What exactly is the Jungle Cruise?
CM: A futuristic rollercoaster ride in the dark. Oh, you have to be this tall to ride.

Eight(At the Haunted Mansion):
Guest: Is this scary?
CM: It's a haunted mansion.

Nine(At Mansion):
Guest: Do you work here?
CM(in wool maid dress, with nametag): No. I dress like this for fun and stand around in 103 degree weather.

Ten(at Mansion):
Guest: Is this the Haunted Mansion?
CM(In maid dress, outside tall house, with a Mansion sign above her): No. This is Splash Mountain, Mansion is around the river.

Eleven:
Guest: Can I ask you a question?
CM: No.

(in the same situation)
Guest: Do you know where the restroom is?
CM: Yes. Yes I do.
Guest: Can you tell me?
CM: Yes. Yes I can.
Guest: Well?
CM: Oh, you want me to tell you?
Guest: YES!
CM: Oh, you should have said so.

And now I'm done.

I've gathered a few over the years and alas, I can claim no credit for any of them. Sure as hell they would come back to haunt me if I ever used them.
But here we go:

Monorail
"Is this the submarine ride?"
- "Yes, but the water is a little low right now."
"Does this come back here?"
- "No. We drop off at LAX and you're on your own from there."
"What happens if there's an earthquake while we're onboard?"
- "Put your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye."


FL/Classics:
"Is this ok for kids?"
- "The vertical loop at the end may be a little bit much."
"What kind of ride is this?" (Toad)
- "It's a three min. trip to hell."
"What happened to the Small World Fastpass?"
- "We decided to make the ride even more annoying."
"How can you stand that song playing all day?"
- "Tick, toc. Tick, toc. Tick, toc."

Space:
"Where is the Fastpass for this?"
- "Next to the Teacups."
- "It's under that great big sign over there that says Fastpass."
"What line is this for?"
- "Ladie's room."
"What are all those tables for?"
- "Pizza Port Triage."

Mansion:
"Can we go again?"
- "Sure! Go outside and you can go as many times as you like."
"How many miles do you walk every day down here?"
- "Until we finally break out of the ankle chains."

[Mansion Girl]

I LOVE Bill Engvall!
And I just couldn't resest when this was posted.

At The Enchanted Tiki Room
Guest: "Is this a restraunt?" after they just looked at the sign
Me: "Why yes sir, but right now it's close. We do have a Tiki bird show going every ten minutes though." Here's Your SIGN!
[INDENT]But you have to hear the rest![/INDENT]
Guest: "No, I'll past. Where's the closest place to get a drink?"
Me: Right over there *points to where it is, just a few feet away* they have pop and floats and water...."
Guest: "No no no.. I mean a B..e..e..r." he draws it out as if I'm a two year old."
Me: :D: "Well sir, yah gonna have tah take the monorail to EPCOT, or just take it back to yah hotel."
Guest: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?!
Me: "This is a child friendly park sir."
Guest: "So?!"
Gon to the pre-show rings
Me: "Sorry sir, but I have tah go start the show."
Guest: "Not untill you tell me where to get a drink you're not!"
Me: "Ok, ok, go straight down that walk way, cross our bridge, take a right, go down to the end of Main Street, and walk into the last building behind the train to your right. They serve wine,beer, and mix drinks." HERE'S YOUR SIGN!
*Little did he know when he was yellin' at me that I sent him to Guest Relations. And it was 5mins till my bump off*

Sorry for my rather lack of updates...

Ok, so a two month absence. I'm still here, but I've been busy with other things and HYSs are hard to come by now (The world is on to me now).

I dunno when we'll see an update from me but it seems the others here on the site are covering for me until I can get an update.

It is not at all ludicrous to expect Disney CM's to treat guests in a respectable manner. If you must vent your frustrations, do so behind the scenes. IndyandMarion seems to make it a point to ridicule and mock the guests at every turn. THAT is what I find uncalled for. As a Disney shareholder, I'm disgusted to read the things he posted and I'm quite sure his bosses would not think highly of his statements, either.

Does anyone not understand that this is offstage? This online spot allows us to keep animinity if we want it and it is very great to see what other cast members go through and see that the same stupid things happen all over the place. You know Disneylover you are probably one of those passholders who thinks that just because they paid their 300 dollars at the gate for a year of DISNEY MAGIC that you can ruin it for the little princesses and space rangers that are standing behind them. I honestly saw someone like you very vocally say things about Tinkerbell's flight that made the 8 year old behind them start crying. Now we would get fired for something like that but you passholders we have to hold our tounge and allow you to act however you want you want to gripe at us for having a forum to talk to each other. Would you be just as mad if all of us got together for a mixer party and said the same things. THERE WAS A WARNING OUTSIDE THE ATTRACTION THAT TOLD YOU WHAT IT WAS! JUST LIKE HERE! GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON!

A great one happened to me on Thanksgiving Day. I was walking out from the tunnel to the FedEx lounge for our holiday party and I am carring a huge serving dish in both of my hands. Granted yes I was in costume but then again being a CP on Thanksgiving I was lucky to be coming in at 10 in the morning. Anyway as I walkout from the back way of the Timekeeper (Where I had forgotten that we would have open and I thought was where we were going to have the party HERE'S MY SIGN) I come out near Buzz fastpass distrobution. A woman walking right past the cast member who is scheduled at Buzz Distro comes up to me and goes

"CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY FAST PASS IT ISNT WORKING RIGHT!"
"Yes ma'am I can"
I turn the other cast member
"She needs help and since this is your position I will let you help her."

Or another great one and I know that it has been posted over and over but oh well

At stitch's great mistake inside the final chamber.

Guest: Does this spin (reasonable question)
Me: No
Guest: You sure? (UGH)
Me: Yes
Guest: Ok so what does it do at the end? Drop or something.
Me: Absolutly not
Guest: I am a passholder so you can tell me the truth.
Me: As much as I want it to in the five months I have worked here none of the seats have moved an inch from this position.
Guest: But what does it do.
At this point the show starts so the guy finds his seat.
Me not to anyone in particular: You got me this flips upside down 18 times and then fills up with water until I can't hold my breath any longer and push the red button. I have had five months of practice though SO HOW LONG CAN YOU HOLD YOU BREATH??!!!!!
