Stupid Guest Tricks

If you don't like to follow other people's rules, don't leave your house.

It isn't my fault that we have one way traffic flow because the other way is blocked, nor is it my fault that you aren't allowed to view from anywhere on the steps on main street station, and it isn't my fault that you expect to find perfect parade spots midway through the parade on a crowded, almost summer saturday night.

Please do not make it my problem, and do not make your problems with my enforcement of company, and anaheim fire department's policy's, my problem, or problems for my co-workers.

You are not the only person in disneyland, and i promise to you that if stairway seating were allowed, it would be full, and i promise you that if it was easier for you to go agianst traffic, we would not tell you to keep moving in the direction of traffic flow.

If you think that arguing will get you anywhere, or me in trouble, just know, that i know how to handle myself, and even if you do complain, i will not engage myself in a course of action that will get me in trouble, nor will I give into your demands, unless they are reasonable, and within my power to accomplish. I am over your head as you are the guest, you answer to the resort and it's cast, be it Matt Ouimet himself, or the kid that hired in last week, and really doesn't know the full gravity of his role. If you choose not to comply with me, i will find someone you will comply with, or who will cooperate you hindquarters out of the park.

So help me, my decisions will be backed onstage, even if it isn't the right decision, unless, of course, i'm flat out wrong, and there is a really good reason why my decision should not be followed, if it was followable, it will be taken care of.

so next time the kid in the thunder costume askes somethign of you, or tells you how it's done, follow directions, it's easier on everyone.

Amen GMC. Sounds like the Parade Route was tough on you last night.

Parade Crusaders, UNITE!

Does anyone actually call Parade Guest Control "Parade Crusade", or it something I came up with on my own?

Anyways, I know your pain, in fact, I'm gonna have to deal with it in a few hours from now.

Same applies to smoking areas. If you wanna smoke, you gotta do it where we say it's ok to. If you choose to ignore us, I know many people who could easily help you find the smoking area OUTSIDE of the park. Don't tell me you didn't know this wasn't a smoking area. If it was a smoking area, you wouldn't be palming away your cancer stick to try and hide it from us. So please put it out until you reach the smoking area.

Josh, i think you're just special...
As far as smoking goes, i never tell anyone they have to put it out, unless it's while in line for an attraction, or on the attraction. We're appearently not allowed to, however i do inform them that they may take it to the nearst smoking area, but if anyone asks them to put it they have to.

Parade GC, and Steam trains are my focus right now, those are the two locations i enjoy most, no fast pass, minimal speiling, and hard to break, however it was fun to see the lion king float e-stop right after dumbass yelled at me.

I hate it when people step right over a chain with a "Do Not Enter" sign or the equivelent hanging from the chain. I guess they want to give the impression that they just didn't see the sign (yeah, like in their home town, people hang chains BLOCKING people to let them know where to go?).

I'd like to see signs hanging on the chains that say, "Stupid People, please enter here". At least when they step over the chain, everyone would know them for who they are. :twisted:

why dont people realize that a float/tram etc. cant stop on a dime and once they do stop that they cant just get going again? and really is it all that difficult to walk those extra 20 or 30 steps?
Last Saturday we had a guest who said he was a "Cast Member" waiting for the Lion King Tram and when asked if he and his wife would step back behind the yellow line replied "We dont have to, I'm a CM!" Once on the Tram he scoffed and complained about the rules that the speil was saying then as the tram left the station started to light a cigarette! I think that he was an AP (he had way to many Tattoos in visible areas for a CM to cover up) unless of course he was Custodial or maintenance working backstage. But I love how everything we said to him (3 CMs and the Tram altogether) was just a major inconvenience to him.

One of my Mark Twain co-workers taught me a great trick.

On Mark Twain, we have ropes that basically guide people to the back of the boat, where there's a hell of a lot more room for people and it makes exiting the boat a whole lot smoother. For some reason, without these ropes, everyone lines up to take the port bow stairs when the other three sets of stairs are completely empty.

However, when we put up the ropes, instead of figuring out that we probably put the ropes there for a reason, the guests regularly take them down and next thing we know there's a flood of guests exactly where they aren't supposed to be.

But one of my fellow CM's taught me that since the ropes are not the same as the normal GC ropes used elsewhere in the park, we can twirl them in such a way that it is impossible to unhook the carabiner attaching them to the rail without undoing what I did to the rope (which takes some doing). It's a great trick!

Oh Pirate John, I'll bet Parade GC (or pest control) would love you forever if you could figure out a way to make that work on the parade ropes...

GMC, you are bringing back memories of World Cup Summer in 92 when parade GC was literally spit upon by people after saying "we are French, we do what we like..."

man, if i were that parade GC i would have been fire by disneyland after what i would do to those people.

Word of advise, don't let dumb people step on you, this is a long story. I was working at Pizza Mania at Legoland the otherday, a man gets to the register, i asked "What did you order?" (we make pizza on demand there) He said "a personal pepperoni and a coke" I decided to check the oven to make sure there was one cooking for him and the other people, there wasn't, so i asked a co-worker if he had ordered a pizza, they said no.

i turned back to the man and asked him if he ordered a pizza from the person at the sign that says "order pizza here" he said no, so i told him that he should have done that, he said there was no one there, i said "you should have waited there and you would have been helped, it will be 3 to 4 minutes for your pizza."

i pulled a pizza out of the oven that was pepperoni and gave it to the girl that was in line behind him because she had ordered one in the proper spot and he tried to take it. I said "Sir this is her pizza", he said, getting pissed now "but i was in line before her" I said, "she ordered it from the right spot when it was her turn and you skipped the spot" he said "but there was no one there, this is bullsh*t, i want my money back" then he stormed off and i laughed and laughed.
