You know you work at Disneyland when...

Post by Placid_reverie » Fri Feb 04, 2005 1:36 am

Hey guys, i thought it would be kind of funny to compile one of those "You know... when..." lists. So i'll start off and you guys can add on and keep the list growing...

YOU KNOW YOU WORK AT DISNEYLAND WHEN...

- you can sing along to the fireworks word for word.
- you cringe when you see/hear those "50th anniversary" commercials (a constant reminder of the massive amounts of "stupid guests" you'll encounter come may)
- you come to the park to play and think to yourself... "holy crap... people actually PAY to come here?! ...why?"
- you come to the park to play and are relieved at the fact that you dont have to walk around with a fake smile.
- you go to other theme parks and notice things they do wrong.
- you can live off a vending machine food diet because you're so accustomed to it.
- you have a bunch of old cast member reference guides and dont know what to do with them (ooh... pretty yellow paper... sometimes white...)
- you always come home from work with a new pen in your pocket (yeah... you... forgot to put it back at work...riiiiiight....)
- you cant stop pointing with two fingers, even outside of disneyland.

...okay... now your turn! :-D

-you yell code m everytime you see a mullet, and wonder if anyone will know what it means
-you wonder if you touch the mullet will anyone scream?
-you wonder if you get 7 years good luck for touching the mullet, even thought you're not at your attraction.
-you secretly want a mullet, even if it's barely a neck warmer.
-you're really good with intials and acronyms.
-you measure time in 15 minute intervals, and tell people you be there in approxamently 2.5 hours.
-you wish you could wear the adventureland costume, guys or girls, mostly just for the hat.

-When you're at the park as a guest, and you hear another guest ask a question, you automatically answer the question.
-When a guest in the park, you say Happy Birthday to anyone wearing the "Happy Birthday" stickers
-You can't leave the house unless you're following the "Disney Look"
-You learn spanish from the safety spiels
-You refer only to military time


Spider-Man: Oh no. I am not joining the Champions.
Captain America: It means, my friend, that I have the authority to assemble any team I see fit to go on any mission I see fit.
Spider-Man: Yeah? I have clones.
-New Avengers #4

-You own a copy of the Fantasmic soundtrack and when listening to it you get upset there is no canon blast in the peter pan scene and when you get to the part with Malifcent you have a sudden erge to take down ropes.
-You know the entire ER speil for the Mansion (both holiday and normal) and when in an elevator your friends dare you to reciete it and you do.
-You use "Disney Speech" in everyday conversation. "My internet went 101 today"
-You find it odd when you have to wear pants to work (for ladies in stores, or work Lincoln or Mansion regularly)
-You get thrilled when its Chicken Fusiulli day at the DEC
-You get in the car and find yourself in K-lot

This sounds too much like it comes from Jeff Foxworthy... "You might be a Cast Member if..."


"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

You're walking out in the normal world and someone says "Excuse me" to pass you by and you greet them with a "how may I help you" look.


"I have a stupid question for you."

"Can I have a map?"

"Where is the restroom?"

"Do you work here?"
