Stupid Guest Tricks

And there it is!

We were luck enough that we got offerred to ride in the monorail cab a few years ago. WE shared it with a couple that had a young girl (7 or 8 y.o.) it was more fun watching her interact with the pilot than anything else. but since we did it once, we don't need to again.

I guess people just can't enjoy being at the parks by itself. I guess they should think about going somewhere else if they can't have a great time by enjoying the parks like everyone else, and not need "extras" to "make their day magical"

DW and I get a kick out of walking in the main enterence, and everthing else!!

(oh, and the candy store!!)

AMEN AND HALLELUYAH!

Once or twice I've tried to come up with a response for when guests feel the need to inform you of their status as an AP, as if it will somehow change the level of service you provide them.

It never ceases to amaze me that people think that we will treat them differently because they have an AP. Sometimes it's in City Hall and it's "I'm an Annual Passholder and I didn't like the way ____(finish this sentence however you want)____", but other times it's as simple as a call in the PHONE ROOM! "Hi, I'm Kathy and I'm a PREMIUM Passholder. What are your hours today?" WHAT? How in the world does letting me know that you're an AP affect my answer to that question? Once in a while you get someone yelling at you in City Hall and threatening to not renew their AP! Oh, the humanity! Disney will certainly go bankrupt now that we don't have the Smith family from Tustin! Come on, people.

At AutoZone I get people calling in that tell me they buy a lot from us like that is going to make a difference. I really don't care how much you spend, you're going to get the same great service I try to give everybody. I don't care if you have never been into an AZ before or if you are there all the time buying parts, if we're busy when you call you are going to get put on hold.

I believe we just had the Tustin Smith's on island. One of their kids got busted for harassing a sea turtle.

I have a feeling that the same people would call a government and demand better service because they pay taxes! There is no appeasing those types of people, no matter what you say!

I had to laugh (to myself, of course, not in the SG face) when an SoCal Select AP holder was flabergasted that she and her SG son were blocked out the week of Christmas!! First of all she came to the window acting dumb, "Uh, we forgot our passes today." "Well, you've had one courtesy issued this year, so you will have to replace them both for $20 each, and you will need a block-out-day ticket for $40 each to get in today." SG responds," It seems silly to pay to replace them when we have them at home. And (here's the kicker) we paid over $200 for the year. I can't believe we can't get in today.!

I felt like telling her 3 things:

1. Remember your passes next time, after all they are AT HOME! Duh!
2. Refer to your Block-Out-Calendar!! Duh!
3. And Lady, when you have paid almost $800 a year for for Premium AP's for you and SG child, then we MIGHT feel inclined look the other way when you forget your pass and make some magic for you and your SG child and issue you a 2nd courtesy pass!

She had the nerve to tell the sad child that Disneyland wouldn't let them in that day, that me (naming me by name) "won't let you into Disneyland today." The child was crying and having a fit as she was telling him.

I think she won the Bad Mom award that day!!
