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'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.

The only warm jackets you wear belong to Disney.
You feel guilty telling others there is more than one Mickey.
You speak of portal, K Lot, queues, Partners, TDA, cycling thru. Wonder why others look blankly @ you.
You must explain on stage doesn't mean you sing & dance.
You lie or hide when it's obvious someone will ask to be signed in.
People can't understand why you don't collect EVERY item made by Disney.
You are so under paid & no one believes this truth.
You actually like The Inn Between cuz it's quicker then eating @ home after a long shift.
You are never without a military watch, or batteries for.
June thru Sept. 5th is no longer YOUR vacation time.

You know you can sleep in K Lot... in case. :)
You always expect a slow shuttle to take you to work.
You Believe In Magic.

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.
