Stupid Guest Tricks

*sigh*
I just wish I could get grouped on a ride with Mr. Depp for something or another, with or without picture. :D:
Any chance of that, CMs? ;)

Here's my favorite picture of me in my own ride vehicle. On our Adventure by Disney we got to see Soarin' Over California behind the scenes. Then our group rode it. Everyone ran to Row 1, but I selected the back row because I knew it would be my only opportunity to ever ride in there with NO feet dangling.

How was it back there?

Spoiled me rotten! I actually like the view from the bottom row because I like to look for the mountain climbers. How I'd love to always see it footless from any row (or better yet, watch it from behind the screen...that was way beyond cool).

I don't remember how many times it was. At least 2, possibly more.

LOL...We kept switching seats so I lost track. You will have to join us in Sept again. There is a scavenger hunt in the works. Fun fun. Meghyn just adores you...for the life of me I cant figure out why tho :p: If you see Rachel, tell her hi from us..havent seen her online for awhile.

Hey, the CMs got into it! (for the most part) We even had a CM wait for our train to come around before hopping on with the grabber arm to pick up trash along the track. :)

I think my favorite thing about that day was the "Rocky Horror" type callbacks we developed in response to the on-ride announcements. :p:

In all, the people who were there ALL day rode 50 times. They could have made one more loop before closing, but decided to stop at the even number and try and beat the bulk of the post-fireworks exit. I think my total number of rides was somewhere between 38 and 42. I joined up with them late, got off for lunch and one spin on Space Mountain. The nice thing was that if you checked your watch as you got off, you knew you had 10 1/2 minutes (or a multiple of that) to make it back to the platform to rejoin the group.

I just remembered what TTA stands for. 50 times people? Really?

Though Rocky Horror style callbacks does sounds like fun. Whenever I hear the safety spiel in spanish, I start to sing Tragic Kingdom to myself...

That would be really cool to do that!

I'm trying to remember what they all were... Some of them evolved over the course of the day. At one point we noticed a Brazilian tour group walking down below as we passed Alien Encounter (yes, it was that long ago). We tried clapping in rhythm to see if we could get them to join in. Did that for every tour group we saw. "Brasil! [clap, clap] Brasil! [clap, clap]" Then it kinda morphed into someone saying that the Brazilian tour groups get all the attention, but that there are other countries that are VERY under-represented at Disney. So each time we passed AE we'd become a different country's tour group...
Kha-zak-stan! [clap, clap] Kha-zak-stan! [clap, clap]
Ice-land! [clap, clap] Ice-land! [clap, clap]
Best one of the day: Out-door Ven-ding! [clap, clap, clapclapclap] :D:


Cruising past Carousel of Progress we would sing "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow". Of course it was also some sort of media day because it was around the time of the 100 Years of Magic kickoff, so there were tents with media people in them set up all between Space Mountain and CoP. We sang our hearts out to them a few times...

Oh, and we would cheer and wave like crazy as we passed through Mickey's Startraders trying to get the CMs to wave back.

I also seem to remember my friend and I ducking down in our seats while in the darkness of Space Mountain. When the car emerged into daylight, it was a few seconds before someone realized "Ummmm, guys? Where's Rob and Brian?"

Yeah, we had no lives...
(Though that doesn't mean that I have found a life yet, either...)
