Stupid Guest Tricks

Ok, so Im doing my once a month Town Square dutie, (which I hate cuz Baloo sucks!) and everything is going smooth as always (ha!) and this family comes up with three adults and some kids around the age of 7 or 8. k, nothing new at all. After a few autographs they want a pic, sure no prob. So as the camera person if figuring out they left the lense on, i feel a hand start going up my back underneath the fur and they are now touching MY acctual neck (if you have never seen a baloo costume the head just sits on your shoulders and there is a long flap of fur in the back but it just hangs and its only velcroed in the front) THEN they start lifting my HEAD OFF!!!!! and as Im trying to beat them off of me I frantically look for my greeter and she is off flirting it up with someother CM!!! I just dont understand why you would do that with a freeaking kid right there!!!

I work in Mickey's house inside the theater. We get people all the time asking how many Mickey's are there and stuff like that. Sometimes, they at least whisper it to you (I still tell them 1) but other times they ask it right out loud and with their own kids there. Talk about ruining the magic.

I got that question one day on parade duty. The correct answer was met with the loud response, "Don't give me that, I've been to that tent in Toontown, and I know there's more than one!"

It was almost funny how all the kids head swiveled around and locked on me like attack radar. My reply:

"There is only one Mickey Mouse, but he has four rooms in the Judge's Tent where he meets his friends."

This satisfied both the boob who asked the question and the kids who all started to tell each other, "Told you so!"

Dodged that bullet.

DCT is Disney's Share A Dream Come True Parade

sorry to use the lingo... it gets in your brain...

Since I'm an unpaid Campus Rep, I also work at Best Buy (although my job at Ben & Jerrys is so much better). I got there early for my shift, so I went next door to Target to find snacks.

Me: Looks at snacks
Stupid person: "Excuse me, where is the salt?"
Me: "Hi. Does it LOOK like I work there? Since when do Target employees wear blue?"

That felt good.

its weird that you mention that, on the island we get that question too...the rangers sometimes are asked that and they have those smokey the bear hats and those pickle color uniforms, and so of us including me wear black pants a nasty cream color polo and a grey jacket all marked with a big park service arrow patch...on top of that we all wear a radio that dates back to the early 80s bigger and heavier than a brick and a weapon within itself. then we have a set of large brass keys (like those kiddie plastic keys) that clang alot...name tags of course...and yet we still get asked that obvious question.... :D: ...ah well all i can say is...tourists...yikes

No problem. On Main Street we just call it the Stupid Snowglobe Parade.

A different vocabulary for every department....
