Is this the Enterance?

Post by Freak » Tue Jul 22, 2003 2:02 pm

God I've seen this alot. I was talking to a CM near the exit of a ride and some idiot would walk up and go "Is this the enterance?"....Is it me or are these people just seriously getting dumber? It has an exit sign and everything...yet people can't figure it out...Its sad really. Why would you consider an exit an enterance? I better shut up now...I'm rambling. :?



...Please don't beat me... :shock:


RIP Bud Hurlbut.

If only you knew how much of an epidemic that is throughout the park.

I see it firsthand all the time at the main entrance. At night when there's a huge crowd at the entrance turnstiles people with handstamps think they can just go in where it says "Exit Only." Sometimes i just wanna tell them, "All those people in the line over there have hand stamps" or "that's the line for people with hand stamps right over there."

In a related story, I was once walking through the main entrance area when i saw a guest walk up to an exit turnstile marked "Exit Hand Stamp," pause, then turn around and ask me, "where's the exit?"

What Garage? :lol: :wink:

they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

I'm in the DL Stores dept, and my home is the Main Entrance Stores complex (Strollers, Newsstand, Guide I, Guide II, DCA Strollers). Since I'm trained in Stroller Repair and Hotel Delivery, I walk the Main Entrance area a lot.

What Garage?
Mickey's Country House at WDW's Magic Kingdom includes a garage.

Alert guests enter through the front door, turn left in the backyard, and visit Mickey in the Judge's Tent. (Mickey had to move out of his house because Donald and Goofy are "helping" him remodel his kitchen.)

Less alert guests turn right in the backyard and exit through the garage without meeting the Mouse.

Stupid guests enter through the garage, then go backwards through the house, and wonder what all the fuss is about.

Really stupid guests go to Pete's Garage, turn left into the wings, go wandering around backstage, and end up falling into the water inside the submarine show building. (Oh yes, they do it about twice a year on average!)

call me crazy

Post by mahaihai » Wed Jul 23, 2003 8:32 pm

Call me crazy, but if i "magicly" wondered into a building that had water, submarines, and things i as a guest should not be seeing then i would definitely wonder where that damn mouse is. But hey maybe that's why i am a CM not a Guest :D


Guests are a lot like children, either they never listen or they think you are lying even when your not!!

heh, these stories amuse me.

Speaking of not being able to read or figure out where the hell you are...I was walking up to Disneyland's main entrance on Tuesday and a man came up to me and asked where Disneyland was. I started laughing but he was really serious about it, so I stopped. Heh, I said it's about five feet to your right man. He goes "Wow, thanks!" but then proceeds to go try to walk through the exit like many others have tried to do. It surprises me what kind of people come to Disneyland...no wait, nevermind, it doesn't anymore.

Is this the entrance?

This subject has always cracked me up. I think I have discovered something about your average guest by watching my own kids at Disneyland. I have a 7 and 4 year old that constantly think that they have to go under ropes or squeeze between garbage cans to get to the entrance of an attraction. I guess this shows that your typical guest has the common sense of a 4 to 7 year old.

Me: "Uh, that would be the Matterhorn."

:?
I'm suprised that you guys don't have the sub show building boarded up or something being the subs were removed weren't they? Or did DLR only get the subs removed?

I love it when the people are just straight out dumb. Ever see people try to enter Tarzan's Treehouse backwards, insisting that the exit is the enterance?
