Forget that! I'd tell my boy that I'd kick his ass myself if he didn't listen to "this lady." (not really ... but you guys all get the picture)

And you are HOW FAR from the main entrance? You are HOW FAR from your form of transportation?

I love when guests put words in your mouth. You ask the child to get off the railing then mom says "You better listen to the lady. She said you'd be in trouble" I never said that....

I hate it when people do this. Whe parents get on dark rides and don't want their children sitting on their laps so they tell them, "the lady said you had to sit by yourself" I love telling them you know actually they can sit on your lap. They always look soooooooo pissed cause I ruined their plan. Or then theres stuff like the other day when i was walking to the office inside pinocchio and a pregnate lady stops me and asks if she can go on the carrousel. I had to read her eyes to see what answer she wanted me to give her because she knew she could go on but she just didn't want tot take her child on.

Shame I don't work routes you sound like a lot of fun Alice. :D Yeah same holds true at Pooh. We allow lap sitting, parents get mad when we tell them its ok to lap sit. Jose who used to work Routes once told me they encouraged lap sitting cause of the lap bar and keeping the child seated.

Alas my favorite one is: "Will this scare my 3 year old? (In reference to the Mansion)" Serriously I don't know what will scare your kid. I've seen 30 year olds too terrified to get on and have seen 2 year olds think its the funniest thing in the world.

I hope you told her "Yes, you can go on the carousel."

I use the exact same line when I work tour guide at the Movie Ride. I'm sick of people who want us to think for them and think that we know what will scare their kids. I also hate it when I'm working gangster and the guest starts to ask me questions about the park. I usually threaten them or something.

Oh I love it when people get off of Snow White and their child is bawling, then the parent walks up to you and says, "Someone should have told us it was scary." I mean honestly did they now read the name of the ride, Snow White's SCARY Adventure, or did they not get a creepy vibe from the dungeon scene in the queue or the other scary themeing all around them. I mean this ride is scary enough for them to put a, may not be suitable for all children sign up. But noooo it's still our fault for not directly telling them that this was a scary ride.

Come on, I think we are all asking for too much for the guests to actually read the name of the attraction and put the name of the attraction togher with some of the elements on it. I mean we never do that. I work at the Great Movie Ride and the question that I get the most is. . . "Is this a ride?" Let me think about that one. Is the Great Movie Ride a ride, I don't know that one. Let me read the name of it for a second. Now I don't have a college degree yet Dr. Stupid, but I'm assuming that it would be a ride you idiot. Somebody should get me off this soapbox soon or I may go on about other stuff that is not so funny.

Yeah its the HAUNTED Mansion. Not Mickey's House for crying outloud. There are ghosts, spirits...and cast members who delight in scaring guests. -evil grin- Yeah guests expect you to read their minds. I usually tell them I failed mind reading in college....

But what I love even more than being told it's my fault their child got scared is when their child is kicking and screaming, trying to run away from them and they drag them into the car. Honestly I hate the fact that all I can do is sit there ask if they're going to be ok and then tell them I can dispatch the car until the child sits still. Why would you do that to your poor child?
