No, MAW badges have the logo on them, give kids the world have the child's name and where they are from on them. HMMM, a new level of fraud? Sad...DisneyMom wrote:No Plaid around, and it wasn't the Birthday badges they were handing out at City Hall, they actually did say VIP but I don't recall any certain design on them....Would they be someone with MAW or something like that? They both looked about 12 years old.
That's for a quick round of golf?ktulu wrote:We have a friend who got a golf cart that was upgraded. Better wiring, but best of all, better gearing. It can get up to 40 MPH.
The original GOH badges said VIP on them. I still have a couple of them around somewhere. And if I remember correctly, for a short time they came in a choice of colors. I think they came out in the early to mid 90s.DisneyMom wrote:No Plaid around, and it wasn't the Birthday badges they were handing out at City Hall, they actually did say VIP but I don't recall any certain design on them....Would they be someone with MAW or something like that?

For a time as a promotion for the Virtual Magic Kingdom online game, if you completed all the Quests (scavenger hunts) available you were eligible for a special guided VIP tour which took you around the park and on several rides. I did this at both WDW/MK and DLR/DL, and we went on several rides through the exit line, including the Jungle Cruise where we had a boat to ourselves and the skipper kept silent so we could hear a lot of tricia and backstory from our guide. We wore green rectangular badges that said VIP on them along with our name either handwritten or printed on a sticker. Perhaps this is what you saw.DisneyMom wrote:We were at BTMRR at Disneyland one time last year when these 2 girls came up the exit, told the CM "We're VIP's" and had some sort of VIP button and they were let on the train AFTER ours. Anyone have any insight on this one?
That possibly sounds more like it, but as I recall the girls had large white round buttons that said VIP and their name on a sticker on top of that. it sounds like you might get special priviledges if you win something. This is the only time I've seen this, so probably doesn't happen much.Moonliner wrote:For a time as a promotion for the Virtual Magic Kingdom online game, if you completed all the Quests (scavenger hunts) available you were eligible for a special guided VIP tour which took you around the park and on several rides.

But wouldn't the CM's KNOW if certain badges were to be afforded special privileges?DisneyMom wrote:That possibly sounds more like it, but as I recall the girls had large white round buttons that said VIP and their name on a sticker on top of that. it sounds like you might get special priviledges if you win something.

Yes, just was wondering as never had seen it before or since. The CM's didn't question anything, and I was just glad we got on next. I do have a GOH badge now which I am proud of as I like to think of myself as an guest WITH Honor who would never be a SG! I bought a Tinkerbell one for my friend at work, and everyone thinks they look great! Yes, I wear it to work, I'm surprised and pleased nobody objects!GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:But wouldn't the CM's KNOW if certain badges were to be afforded special privileges?
We have to wear security badges with access cards, I have several that I wear on my (YES, DISNEY) lanyard. Each card is for a different location. I also have my "Star COMMAND" clearence card from the Magic Kindom on there! (I'm Staff!!) no one really noticed until we were at a meeting and an out of town speaker noticed it!!DisneyMom wrote:Yes, just was wondering as never had seen it before or since.
