Stupid Guest Tricks

"The alligators got loose..."
Yeah, not really cutting it.
LOL, I can't wait to get to an attraction where I can use a themed response...

How about:

"That couple from Boston got too close to the Strangler Fig and it turned out to be a Boston Strangler Fig. So they're back there moving it further from the boats. Did you say you were from..Boston? Don't worry, we'll seat you on the other side of the boat."

LOL, well downtime spiels are interesting at some attractions like SSE
"Our time travels have been temporarily interrupted. Please remain seated, your time machine vehicle may resume motion at any time. Please remain seated."
Here is what they WANT us to say during downtimes.
"Ladies and Gentleman, Living with The Land is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please remain seated inside your boat, we will resume exploring possibilities through agriculture and aquaculture momentarily."
:barf:

Also for downtimes we could be like The greenhouse had an unfortunate pocket protector incident.
LOL!!! JK, I love our greenhouse staff.

How about: "ladies and gentleman, the triffids were acting up and caused a disruption in our show. We will continue as soon as they are re-potted!"

(Sci-fi buffs only!!)

(for the Potter fans)

We must stop and wait until everyone has put on their ear muffs before we move into the mandrake root repotting shed. If you can't find your muffs raise your hand and someone will be around to loan you a pair shortly.

Good, but HP is another park. Last time I was there, I thought the SCI-Fi Drive-in had the "Day of the Triffids" in the coming attractions.

(maybe they chould put one near the exit, then if something does happen, have a CM there with a whip and chair, ah'la lion tamer, pushing the plants back!!)

I think HM used to do that, if it broke down it was because some ghosts got
bored and got into stuff they were not supposed too.

Last time HM was down for an extended rehab, I explained that, "We had to shut it down because of what happened."

"Why? What happened?"

"Nobody died."

Got 'em every time.

I love it Zazu!

Some other good Character excuses:

Mickey: Minnie wants to borrow the credit card to go shoe shopping. He has to go feed Pluto.

Minnie: She is always making Mickey cheesecake. For once, I want to eat the cheesecake, sexism at its finest.

Lilo and Stitch: Hula lessons or have to catch an experiment.

Pinocchio: Jiminy Cricket needs to talk to him.

Meeko: John Smith brought biscuits or Pocahontas wants to talk.

Mushu: The guardians have to have a talk with him. Uh-oh!

Piglet: Help Eeyore find his tail or go get some honey with Pooh.

Daisy: check on April, May, and June (her nieces)

Br'er Rabbit: Fix whatever mayhem Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear have caused.

Donald Duck: Run back for some Quackers and milk (haha), Chip and Dale are causing problems, or time to check on the nephews.

Don’t ignore me when I am trying to tell you something for your safety.

I quite frankly will never understand this. I was once shouted at by a guest for telling his kid that he couldn’t climb up and touch the bus bar of the monorail beam. Sorry, if I was just trying to keep your kid from lighting himself up like the cat in the Christmas Vacation movie. Let me assure you that theme parks are subject to the same laws of physics that you are at home, and just because you are on vacation, doesn’t mean that death is as well.

Ever been at illuminations in the rain trying to get drunk guest off the poles? I can tell you for sure, it's not fun. =( It's bad enough I had tell the kids to get off the wet poles, but can you imagine a grown adult? I had to be careful with those swinging bottles x_x;

And when Innoventions used to have the "jungle gyms" I remember this kid was all the way to the top and guess what the parents were doing? Laughing and taking pictures. When I ran over to tell the parents something they gave me this look and said "yeah yeah, he's not going to get hurt, calm down."

I also can't stand the "It's a free country, I can smoke wherever I want bit." No, you idiot, you're on Disney property and that's why there's certain locations to go smoke.

Ah...but when the kid does get hurt, they will not be calm when they try to sue Disney.

Next time tell the so-called parents, "I know he won't get hurt, because your going to make him get down...NOW!"

I thought of one Saturday night for Pluto. I was working the Chapeau and was bored (very few grads were stopping in the shops, they wanted to get to the rides) so I stood by the door watching Pluto.

I saw him head backstage and told a coworker that it must be time for his walk (he is a dog after all). He was back a few minutes later so it must have been a quick walk.

That kind of thing is why I'm glad I work in a dry park. Nobody is getting drunk there unless they sneak in their own alcohol.

And if he falls he will be hurt and guess who the parents will blame, not themselves that's for sure. Jungle gyms in Innoventions? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me. That might be part of the reason why they are gone.

I also can't stand the "It's a free country, I can smoke wherever I want bit." No, you idiot, you're on Disney property and that's why there's certain locations to go smoke.

Last I checked there was nothing the Constitution that says you can smoke anywhere. Disney is private property so can say where people can or cannot smoke.
