Sometimes I hope that I'm on a special edition of "Punk'd." Feels like "Punk'd, Disney Cast Members edition" Sadly, that hasn't been the case. I never knew what stupidity, brainlessness, numbskull, dumbass, etc. really meant until I started working for Disney. I feel as if I'm on another planet or dimension 'cause these guests do not behave like normal human beings. No wonder why some guests do not treat us like humans 'cause they're not humans and don't know how to behave like humans.

Come on, realizing that you're staying at a Disneyland Resort instead of a Disney World Resort when you're already there? Asking a CM what type of ride you're on when the doors to the ride are already open or when you're already sitting down in the ride? Expecting a CM to speak every language in this world when it's not humanly possible to do so? I hate to say this, but there are times when this land of magic feels like a freak show. :p: By the way, the best shows I've ever seen at Disney are guests getting stuck on rides for long periods of times and watching them experience pain and guests getting kicked out of the park for reckless behavior. All CMs give a round of applause :D:

Sometimes I worry about guests. I had one experience that had me wondering. I was working at the Teacups with the Tweedles when it started to storm. So I finished up the couple of people that were there and we started (dashing) in. However, before we left a family came up and I told them we were going in due to the storm. Well, guess what the mom said? "Oh they are covered". You know where they were standing? Under a tree. And where's the worst spot to be in a storm? :rolleyes:

CMs should be equipped with a bucket of water that includes a table spoon of baking soda so they can soak the ground around the tall guests to create a good ground. You don't want ungrounded exploding guests littering the paths as it creates more work for the cleanup crews.
:blowup:

Is that heavy duty freezer tinfoil or the regular kind?

No. You need to use salt, not baking soda. Rock salt is best.
