Unattended Items

[Cheshire Figment]

When I was working Indiana Jones (the show at WDW) this past winter when I was assigned stroller straightening I would take any strollers parked outside of the official stroller parking areas and move them to as far away on the other side of the theater entrance as possible in a stroller parking area.

I can be nasty when I want to be.

I do this at Small World during parade time all the time. I figure if they don't park it correctly, all I have to do is park it in stroller parking (to prevent more) but I don't have to make it easy for them to get it. If they're real jerks about it, I'll move theirs as far away in stroller parking as I can and then surround it with the other strollers that were not parked in stroller parking.

I'm so glad you stroller wranglers have an outlet for your frustrations. :D:

LOL, I'm adding "stroller wrangler" to my list along with "Guest Jockey".

We had another one at Lost & Found last night and I finally let go on her. She was super upset that she had left her stroller somewhere and it was gone now, and it was Disney's responsibility to replace the items in the diaper bag inside it. We "discussed" it for a while and after she wouldn't give up and I got tired of arguing, I looked at her and said, "Mam, I'm sorry, but it's the 4th of July in a post 9/11 world and you left your bag unattended at the largest terrorist target in the nation. You're not getting your diapers back." She left with her tail between her legs. :twisted:

Heh, that was awesome!

Guest Jockey, I think I love you. :D:

Seriously, that was brilliant. Somehow I always seem to think of such quips about 30 seconds after the guest leaves...

People leave various bags or other things behind at my location. Sometimes I take it to Lost and Found at City Hall... and sometimes the guests come looking for the stuff they left behind when they remember it. The items wait in the back for a while just in case the person comes looking for it.


Strollers are moved out of the way to the edges of our grounds out of the way of people, unless it is raining, then half the entrance awning becomes a temporary shelter for some of the strollers.

:mad: O k, I have to rant now!! it totally pisses me off. WHY DO SGs GET REWARDED FOR THEIR STUPIDITY!?!?!?! Last night, I go sit down for Fantasmic! at 5 PM. Yes, I am those hardcore APs! :D Anyways, I stake my spot next to an unoccupied blanket. O k, I think to myself, they are probably be couple for a little bit. I'll see if they come back. 30 minutes go by, o k. Then around 7 P.M ,no one shows up. At this point, the seating area begins to fill up, nothing. So I inform one of the "Bumble Bees" that no one has come by. He says, "o k, we'll wait a while longer to see if they show up." 8 P.M rolls around, and still no one came to came it. I was tempted to get up, pick it up, move it, and throw it into the planters......... or the ROA :twisted: But, I didn't, being a good ex - CM, :D. I would if I could, but I can't, no power. So, I informed a former Lead of mine, she contacted the Section Lead, and they moved it! HURRAH!!! So about 30 min prior show time, the family FINALLY shows up and looks at their former viewing space and asks what happened to the blanket, which was now occupied by a party that moved up. The party said it was taken by Security and the family proceeded to sit down, but was denied. The family was mad, so they go off to complain to the a CM for about 5 minutes. They come back and sit down in a tiny space NEAR THE FRONT! I was so mad because I was sitting in my spot for four hours and the family came 30 minutes before and STILL got a good spot. If I could do that, I would place my blanket in the front and leave and come back 5 minutes prior, but I know better. Luckily for them, it was only a blanket, and not a back pack, where Security will be called and taken their stuff to Lost And Found.

They were extra lucky, getting a spot at the last minute.

At our local movie theatre, jerky guy was saving spots for friends with his jacket who didn't show up until AFTER the movie started while my kids had to sit in another row. :mad:

I seriously thought about melting chocolate with my hands and smearing it all over his jacket. :twisted:

Unattended,place-saving blankets at Disneyland should automatically go to homeless shelter.

I hate that, too! That's the price you pay with live entertainment, I guess!
