"Is Her Birdday.," ... Character Woes of the Day
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2005 8:52 pm
Hey gang!
Well, I'm sure the crowds and hot weather are boiling up some nice guest tricks.
Birdday:
Today was a particularly crazy day in the entertainment world. Goofy was running around in Town Square and was leaving after his 30 mins on set, and a lady came running up to him with a pen.
"Please! Is my daughter's birdday!" so Goofy decided to be nice and sign the book. The lady brings up another kid. "Is her birdday too." So Goofy signs that book. Then Goofy notices a slough of children next to the lady as she brings the next one up. "And is her birdday..." but Goofy just walked off. Now Who on Earth would think that trick would work for 10 kids in a row? That must have taken some very careful planning!
"... Follow Goofy!"
Is it just me, or are guests getting darned lazy?!?!
Goofy was walking from the break room across town square today to find a nice shady spot, and a lady with a stroller asked "Can I take my son's picture with you?" Of course, if a character stops at one point on the journey, he is there for the rest of the set. So, Goofy motioned for her to follow. About 10 steps into the journey, the lady starts complaining. "Goofy all we need is one picture. ONe SIMPLE picture!! That's All I need! Goofy! Why are you making us chase you?! All we need is ONE SIMPLE picture!! I'm tired!! I don't want to walk after you!"
Cry me a river, lady, but goofy isnt going to stop for you after 10 steps. Countless times, Goofy will be walking offset and people are just like "Hey, Goofy! Come here! We want a picture!" Umm, no. If you want a picture, YOU come TO GOOFY if you want your wife and 289 kids to take individual pictures and group pictures with every possible combination of people...
"... all questions should be directed to Goofy. Maybe he'll answer if you treat him like a person!"
People just want to line up. They do not care about the character interaction (generally speaking). Families just kept throwing their kids in front of goofy, taking the picture, and walking off without saying "hello" "thank you" or anything like that. So Goofy was walking around the town square today and got sooo many rude guests with their "Peeeecture!? Sign here now!" that he didn't stop to sign, only to interact. So people start asking his host "Can Goofy sign my daughter's book?" "All questions should be directed to Goofy. Maybe he'll answer you if you treat him like a person!" Goooo Host! These people get so ferocious over autographs and pictures (as I mentioned in another thread), it's crazy! I ESPECIALLY love "Goofy can you stop walking so we can just make a line for autographs??" No, thanks! haha
