woman that was helping me out. my roommate and I just about mugged her
to get our hands on it.

I remember when I used to work at MK on Main St two friends of mine used to love going to Window looking for the most unique names they could. For about two weeks they were Pangfua from Port-au-Prince, Haiti and Khan from Kowloon Bay, China. Even funnier since "Pangfua" was a five foot tall Irish redhead from Boston and "Khan" was six foot five, black, and from Brooklyn. Another girl we all new used to work at Sea World and one day just for the fun of it she wore her SW all day long in Adventureland. No one noticed.

I work at WDW, and about 15 minutes away is a town called "Kissimmee" and that is where I live and what is on my tag.
Unfortunately, you can no longer go to window8 for a tag. They now send you to the new zooming building. One day I went there because I forgot my tag, and the woman was like "OH, you made a big mistake. We don't have any nametags". I went all day without a nametag. My friend however was able to get a nametag from there. Maybe I just went over there on a bad day.
Oh yea, one time I was at Epcot just as a day guest and As I was walking around World Showcase I saw a custodian near the China pavilion had a nametag that said "Gay". Later, we saw her twin sister named "Gi".

I just was hired at Universal Hollywood today, and something that struck me as odd was that, in their electronic intake forms, the same page which asked us what name we wanted on our nametag also asked what our favorite Universal Studios film was. Maybe GuestRelationsKing or another current or former Universal employee can help me with this. Do they actually put the title of our favorite Universal film on our nametag?!?

Been there recently and yes they do put your favorite movie title on the namebadge. Pick a movie from a competing company just to spite them.
