Stupid Guest Tricks

A CM will have to confirm this but I'm pretty certain that CMs can get in any day to any park, not sure about any blackout dates. I do know there are limits on CMs getting guests in, the average CM can only get a few people in a day (can't recall the exact number), they have to be let in at the same time, there is a limit on how many days they can use their pass and there are blackout days.

This applies to WDW CMs getting into WDW, I don't know about DL CMs getting into DL, nor, for instance, a WDW CM getting into another Disney park except that they get free access at them all but one of the foreign ones (because the park isn't owned by Disney outright or something to that extent).

Understand that!. There was a thread a while back, dont remember which one, (big suprise, thread changed subjects!!) where some CM's had some guests that turned into SG's, and they were talking about have the CM be in the company of the guest, but I don't think that is a hard fast rule.

I believe the rule is that if the guest is not a family member then the CM is supposed to stay with them.

That could be it!! Don't remember the whole thread, but was suprised that some CM guests were SG's! Guess it happens!

There are blockout dates (not "blackout", that's been declared racist). They are few, and apply primarily to days you wouldn't want to be in the Park anyway. (Yes, they actually *do* have to pay me to go into the MK on Christmas.)

Same blockout days, 12 days/year, and the number of people is 4, unless you have more than 3 dependents, in which case they'll cover all of your kids.

Starting today, WDW CMs can only get into Disneyland parks using their Maingate passes, our Cast ID is no longer sufficient.

Not sure about DL CMs visiting WDW.

Thanks for the Info!

Really? By whom? How did a term that describes the state of power, a mental condition or censorship be considered racist? It seems blackout would be an excellent description of the word blackout being considered a racist term. Someone has waaaay to much time on their hands.

My guess would be the ACLU or the NAACP. Perhaps both.

That's too easy. Probably some bozo in HR who's never ventured out of his/her cube.

Remember, Bozo's end up setting policy in most places!!! Hence the runaway PC sillyness going around!
