For example, the disaster of a New Year's Eve, with all the screaming at the DL gate by AP's who never bothered reading the fine print on their passes that everything is subject to change without notice at Disney's discretion. Why should their party and their party alone be allowed into the park that has been deemed a sell out, when there are a hundred other parties that can't get in who also paid big bucks for the Premium pass? Or why should someone be allowed to prepare a meal in the parks, when the Parking Lot tram spiel flatly states that outside food needs to be taken to the picnic area? Why should someone get a refund on their tickets if the fireworks are cancelled when the show schedule and tickets all flatly state that events may be cancelled without notice? And the tickets do state "No refunds, non-transferable" etc?
More examples - the moms who have been (nicely) asked to take the wheels off their kids Heelies who flat out bark "no" at the CM's, despite being told it's for safety's sake. Or the idiots who think that they can come and sit in front of someone who has parked their butt on the cold/hard pavement for hours waiting for the parades/fireworks/shows, but it's o.k. because the latecomers are in a hurry or from out of town and they need to see the event too.
I was talking to a lady the other day, another passholder, who said that they were back because they had "issues" with the Jedi Training Academy - she was pissed off (her kid didn't seem to care that day) because her little darling wasn't picked, so she was going to be going back over to Tomorrowland Terrace and somehow make sure her kid was chosen. She reminded me of people who DEMAND the front row on rides or demand that a Stores CM go through all the boxes of a figurine to find the perfect (cheaply manufactured in China) souvenir. Whatever happened to just taking the day as it comes and appreciating it when something extra special happens? I don't understand this culture of thinking that their personal needs outweigh that of every other single person and group in the park that day - I guess it's part of the same thing that we were discussing in the cell phone thread.
Granted there were some guests in my day that I would bend a rule for, generally a group with a child who was seriously handicapped when the family was very nice and unassuming. I will bend over backwards in any circumstances for modest people going through a hard time, but don't get my hackles up by demanding that I do something out of the ordinary or jeaopordizing my job because you feel like it, especially if you are wearing $500 shoes or carrying a $1500 purse and treating me like dirt!
As far as I am concerned, the price of admission or an annual pass doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it!!! I don't care how much money you spent, if there weren't guidelines life would be anarchy. Anyone else care to sound off?
