Hands off the Princesses

[vixen101485]

Interesting to know about the transfering to a new card thing. Of course that only applies as long as you dont claim them via photo center in park or on line before doing that right?

In general you have 30 days to claim them (online/in person) then another 30 days to purchase what you want. (extraordinarily priced prints or a somewhat more better priced CD..LOL) Mine from March were set to expire this coming Wednesday but we just couldnt afford it this week.
They set me up, As much as I appreciated opening ToonTown and the photogs taking pics, we werent gonna get the photopass this time cause we just couldnt swing it..they hand you a card and say "here ya go, shell out some money" What a marketing ploy.

Anyway, I called Friday and explained the situation "pictures or food for 2 weeks" and the nice lady Laura (HI LAURA!) very kindly extended it for another 30 days (I only asked for 9 days)

As for the "special" pics. We got Meghyn fighting Hook--SOOO very cute and while I was resting my poor ankles (sitting in a wheelchair..OW!) while Donnie ran the stroller out to the car. Meghyn decided she really really wanted to have her picture taken in front of the big ball. OK---this is the child whom I had to forceably hold her hands down all week and tell the photogs "QUICK< SNAP THE PICTURE" LOL Anywho, the very nice guy did some fantastic shots of her posing with a stuffed Figment and the absolute funniest surprise face of her holding Tink. If I can figure out how to link you to the page to see them without logging into my account I will. IF not you will have to wait till I get the CD.

Don't forget Shorty, that the photopass has all those COOOOOOOLLLLLLLL borders and stuff to put on the pics. Last time I couldnt decide so I did almost every border for every pic and multiplied them by 4 or 5. (started with 100, wound up with 480-something and 2 CDs....LOL There is a limit of how many you can do..Yes I know this because........ ;) LOL

I view my photos in the centers the day they are taken. What I've done is write on the back of my card the date I need to have the pictures transferred again by so they don't expire and disappear into the ether.

I know all about the borders, believe me I'll make use of them soon enough.

There's a limit? Ah, man! I was sorta hoping to have so many pictures that by the time I get the CD it'll cost them more in the end than the CD cost me! :)

They will send you more then one CD for that price (100 bucks:rolleyes :) That is how I got the 2 of them. Now I have heard of others getting more then that 480ish put onto the CD's (600 is the most I have heard of one person receiving in one order) so it may vary but it wouldnt let me do more then that.

I would love to do the book thing but it is so limited in what backgrounds there are and how they are configured (1 pic, 2 pic, etc. layout of frames, etc) that I would rather just get the CD and eventually scrapbook my own (YEAH RIGHT--I still havent done the ones from 05 yet..lol) I wish it had certain rides or lands so that you can put those pics on proper backgrounds. Gets kinda boring using the same characters over and over.

Where are you supposed to put Tink and Capt Hook? On a page with Donald in swim trunks? Plus I played around just now and couldnt get the full shot of Belle I wanted in the frames (it either cut off Meghyn or Belle) OH BTW...here go see the brat (ignore the fat lady and dont laugh too hard at the large man)
http://www.disneyphotopass.com/photosha ... 83cdc482ce Last few are those with Tink and somewhere in the middle front are the Hook ones. I had to send it to my other email addy to be able to get the link so whoever views it cant edit anything. Sent the ones from 05 to Donnie's dad (with the password-not sure you could share them then) and he started playing with things and lost a few, as in deleted, of my pics, not to mention sending the link to everyone and their brother I WAS NOT a happy person. If anyone sees it glitch to not just view let me know please.

OH, the ones with Donald and Pluto and the barnstormer are from the private photo shoot for opening Toontown--that was cool.

HUH? Weird, maybe it has something to do with brower settings or stored cookies. I am going to try to clear stuff out and try again. OH well if it doesnt work, y'all will just have to wait till I get the CD's next month LOL

Thanks for trying again Randy. If it works or doesnt work for anyone else let me know please.

EDIT:: Well it must be the cookies and internet files thing. Now I cant get it to link. Like I said you will just have to wait then...LOL
If anyone really wants to see them that badly I will email the share link. I did go back into the email and tried that way and it did let me link from here after that..I tried.

And you know, I bet the Sparrows get hassled a LOT...and the Jasmines. . .

I wasn't present for this but in Norway a Jasmine had her butt grabbed by a guest, who then proceeded to grasp her. I can't remember if he got himself banned but I do remember that apparently he was removed from the restaurant.

I have heard of Cinderella and Alice getting their her breasts squeezed, right in front of children and other people. Don't get me started on poor Ariel. Really, you need to have nerves of steel some days to get on that costume and greet people.

It pisses the hell out of me that some men can't control their little hands. Really, those girls are someone daughters, would you like a complete stranger to fondle your daughter? I bet you wouldn't; so let me ask you this, why the hell are you touching and fondling someone you know you shouldn't? If you aren't getting any fun at home, guess what? A kiddie park is not exactly the best place to start looking for someone to fondle.

IMO all Attendants should have a Nextel (I know from my brother they don't in some parks) with a direct connection to Security. That way when somebody gets a little to "close" to a character, starts screaming that it is time for the character to head in or whatever they do, they can quickly call for assistance and Security can come running.

I agree!!! Sometimes SG become ridiculously and dangerously rude. There have been times that characters had to be escorted out of the set because of situations. What really pisses me off is that sometimes security is just freaking slow in getting there. I can recall two situations only that security was called and they came fast. One of them had four managers calling at the same time.

My brother told me a story how one time this guy started cussing him up one side and down the other because his character had to go in.

You know what's sad? I have been cursed so many times and in so many languages, that I simply think this is normal already. As I read this, I realized that yes, you can have security escort them out of the park. But I have become so used to this, that I have just taken it as part of my job. In the beginning it bother me, but some managers just don't do anything so I have just learned to walk off when the last family is done. I simply don't even bother to look back and leave them off screaming to themselves.

Maybe they shoud put a big countdown clock near the greet place, and the attendent could reset it for the "next" show or minutes left before Ariel needs to take a swim, etc.

And have security nearby, out of site if necessary, but nearby

There have been times that characters had to be escorted out of the set because of situations. What really pisses me off is that sometimes security is just freaking slow in getting there.

I've posted this on the board before, but I'll do so again. This reminds me of one of the more scary incidents I endured while working entertainment. It was the last set of the day for all of the characters in the Oasis at DAK. There were several families that had one person each character line and would run between them so they could meet all of the characters. This is never allwed and the attednants and captain made this abundantly clear. This was especially true because it was the last set of the day and they had to close the lines.

The attendants announced several times that they were closing the lines and only those members of the party that were already in the line would get to see that specific character. I was helping out Minnie Mouse, and my line had the worst offenders. After the attednants made the announcement and closed the line, several parties had group members trying to join them. The attendants told them no, and things started getting out of hand.

The attendants began announcing that only those guests who were already in the line would get to see Minnie, and that if the others did not leave Minnie would be taken inside. Naturally, many of the guests who were following the ruels got upset. Her attendants began pulling those guests up to see me since they had followed the rules. The rest of the guests closed in around her. Security was called, but they can't be everywhere at once and took a couple of minutes to get there. Three attendants and a captain had to hold the crowd back while shouting, "Run inside Minnie!" She sprinted backstage as quick as I could.

That was probably the scariest guest situation I have ever encountered. As a friend of a character, I do not have good vision, I am in confining clothes, and I must rely on my attendants to keep me safe. When guests crowd around us like that, it can be very claustrophobic, especially because we cannot see everybody and where their hands and feet are. All of us have been physically assaulted at one point, and having guests crowd around you like that without knowing their intentions is not a comfortable feeling.
