Stupid Guest Tricks

Has everyone read the article about Airtran booting off the family with their "little darling" that was throwing a temper tantrum under a seat prior to takeoff, inconveniencing 112 other people on the plane (as it could not leave the gate until the little dear was strapped in), so the airline finally removed the family from the plane? The family (of course) is now claiming unfair treatment by the airline <sigh>, because they just needed "more time" to calm little satan down (regardless of the fact that the flight was already 15 minutes late leaving I believe).

How I wish that you guys had that option during shows at Disney. My life would be complete...<sings "dreamin">.

It just reminds me of one of our more "magical" moments on a recent WDW trip, wherein a little darling was SCREAMING "I don't like this, I want to go outside" over and over during Mickey's Philharmagic directly in front of us. My husband finally leaned up and asked the father to take her outside, to which he was called an asshole; my husband's response, "I may be an asshole, but I'm not an inconsiderate self absorbed prick" (to this the guy took offense for my husband cussing in front of his little dear. Apparently "asshole" is acceptable, but prick is not in his world). He took the little heathen outside finally, and the people around us thanked us after the show for saying something (although we missed most of it due to rosemary's baby having a seizure for most of the show in front of us). Thank goodness there was no wait to see it again (it was the morning we were leaving, and one of my favorites, so it would have been a bummer to miss out, although the look on the guy's face was priceless when my husband had the audacity to ask him to shut his monster up).
8 days at WDW with my friend's 10 year old granddaughter (her 1st trip), $3500, t-shirts $100, telling some non parenting mofo that he has given birth to the spawn of satan and that his non parenting skills suck, priceless....

Airtran, please buy Disney..... :D:

Not to bring this thread tooooo far OT, but I was trained (for small world/pan atleast) that if there is a disruptive guest they need to either be calmed down or they cannot ride for saftey reasons. When I crosstrained at Philhar/Dumbo, no mention of it was made-though probably due to the fact it was crosstraining. However, its hard for us CMs to throw people out like that. They give the same lines the AirTran customers did... "Oh, give us a few more minutes he'll calm down" or "She's fine, we have her under control" when clearly the child is not. Ive only successfully not permitted 2 parties to ride at any of my attractions unless their child was calm and not a disruption to the other guests/saftey hazard. They actually did thank me, and I offered them a no strings to come back later or try another attraction. But many of us don;t say anything out of fear of being accosted like you were. But we can't say anything back to them or we'd get reprimanded. :mad:

I wish. I used to get the screamers on my boats at Storybook. To a teeny person, it's all real, and those teeth on Monstro look miiiiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhtttty big and sharp, so they'd start screaming and throwing themselves on the floor of the boat despite you telling them that it would all be over soon. At least on Book, it was over within 2 - 3 minutes when they'd get out into the canals. You've gotta feel for anyone trapped with a full blown hissy that lasts longer than two minutes. And bravo to anyone who has the cojones to request that insensitive jerk parents get their spawn-of-Satan child out.

I highly doubt Airtrain will buy Disney. Now if Disney would adopt Airtrains policy,that would be a step in the right direction.

Eh, I took my first shot for one of my shows in gangster and this kid instantly started crying. We're leaving the scene then it dawned on me "****, this will be interesting when we get to Alien"

Sure enough, it got dark and the kid with ballistic. I seriously think that the others on the ride were more scared of the kid, than the aliens.

I've had a few cryers on my show but its only during the shots (Believe it or not it does get pretty freakin loud for the guests, but Im the only holding the gun maybe a foot from my ears, if that. . . just be glad we don't use LMAs rounds) then they calm down.

But this kid went for 8 minutes. . . EIGHT MINUTES! Give that kid a dream fastpass, he just broke the record for longest crying "session" on a Gangster show.
