Stupid Guest Tricks

Seven sets? Yowzers! I'm not to surprised though as I've seen the friends coming through the tunnel after the parade. Their basics are soaked in sweat.

WOW, you guys should look into the cool shirts that we have worn under some protective gear in hot weather! you get them wet or freeze them, they have a jelly in them that cools you by evap! It would make it a little more bearable if you were wearing something that would be warm!

Oh yeah, it's needed.

Wow, only 7! I wore two sets a day at least when I was a friend of Baby Shamu at Sea World.

My brother told me his students (he's a music teacher) sang in there the other week and a security guard I was talking with today told me it is being used for security briefings on Grad Nights as so many guards are brought on there's nowhere else big enough that they can use.

Sorry for the delayed reply Shorty, this is my first time on in a long while. I think I saw your brother's students perform; if it's the time I'm thinking of one of the managers (who used to be a music teacher at the same school) rounded up everybody that was tasking and had them watch. They were pretty good. Is the school in downtown Orlando? That's the one I saw.

The vest especially gets quite warm and the leather piece where the suspenders come together in back sometimes bothers me if I'm in the heat for a while and it hasn't been that hot lately. The long sleeves of the shirt and the pants made of polyester and wool don't help.

One of my biggest shocks coming to MSE was how much cooler the Zone 2 costume (yellow chef's outfit) is than the Zone 1 costume (regular Main Street Merchandise costume). The confectionery costume looks so much hotter, but it breaths really well and and is actually quite cool despite the vest and long sleeves. The brown costume on the other hand looks really cool with it's thin fabric, but it doesn't breath at all. Plus you have to work outside half the day. They gave me a Zone 1 shift next Monday, Accuweather is saying a high of 90. At least the shift is at night.

If I do get to Soarin' I'm not exactly looking forward to the heavy costume. Long pants, long sleeves, tie, and a blazer. Luckily the blazer has some built in vents in the back and Soarin' doesn't really have any outdoor positions. I am looking forward to a nice costume as opposed to that horrid shirt from the land. I think costuming should come up with another option at Soarin', like a vest for the summer.

You did see them. That's cool you got to see them. I'm sending a PM your way with more info.

Was at Epcot today and experienced some bad show.
First off: The loader at El Rio de Tiempo was using the microphone to ask people how many were in their party. Really Lazy.
2: Getting stopped on Spaceship Earth for a half hour and then getting evac'd with not even an apology. (Didn't happen to me but my friend)
3: Having the last monitor on Test Track where it is supposed to show your picture saying "DVI 1: No Input"
4: Having the Soarin' side escalator stopped with a stuck croc in the top of it. I do not want to see something that looks like it hurt a small child.
If you were at Epcot today and saw a group of people in maroon shirts, you saw my group.

Wait a minute...Maroon shirts...was someone talking about a youtube video while waiting for soarin' to dispatch? Because I believe I was talking to people in maroon shirts.
