Stupid Guest Tricks

This one was really fun so I thought I'd share:

Last night I was on tour with someone who was being recognized a lot all day. Thank god we had reserved seating for the fireworks, so at least we'd be left alone THERE...right?

We got there and two seconds before we walked into the seating area, an older couple with coffee climbs under the rope and takes the last couple of seats. I politely asked;

me: "Excuse me, folks - did you check in for your viewing?"
man: "No."
me: "You can check in with the steam trains cast member right back there."
man: "oh?" (looking at me weird)
me: "You did arrange for these reserved seats, didn't you?"
man: "No."
me: "Oh, well I'm very sorry, but these seats are reserved and you have to have it set up in advance. I'm afraid you'll have to watch from over there with everyone else."

For those of you who aren't familiar with it - there is a tiny square of 4 benches roped off on the M.S. station platform for VIP viewing, but you can stand ANYWHERE else on the platform to watch - and last night there was plenty of room to do just that.

Then as they climb out and I'm trying to get my guests in (since the show has already started), the woman goes off on me. "This is some way to treat your PREMIUM Annual Passholders!" I apologized and tried to explain that the area is reserved and people paid for these seats. (which is entirely true as it's a part of the VIP tour)
her: "NO they DONT!!! NO!"
me: "I'm sorry mam, yes they did.
her: "you're a LIAR!"
me: "mam, I'm sorry you feel that way. They paid $75/hour."
her: "They didn't pay as much as ME! I'm a PREMIUM!" What's your name, LIAR?"

I gave her my name and she STORMED OFF to 2 feet away to watch the rest of the fireworks. lol

WOW a PREMIUM SG..you discovered a new breed!!

(I'm an AP and know that you have to pay, sheesh, even if I wasn't, it dosn't take a rock* scientist to figure that out!)









(*a geologist, the quote is from a "starlet" that was trying to say rocket scientist, showing she was an SG in the making)

...with a premium attitude, daft bat!

Did you point to your nose and ask if it grew, lol?
Premium idiots who ruined other people's day, lol.

That is why AP holders get that bad name...Jags like her!
What did she think, you set up seats for anyone who wants to sit in them? Yeah, right. That would work. The mob scene would be a bloodbath to see who would get the remaing seats. Gladiator right there in the Main Street Station! That just might be an E ticket attraction! :twisted: :D:

I think we may have to do this VIP seating thing. Get a VIP tour guide for 4 hours and make them go on the attractions with us :D: ;) and have great seats for the fireworks? Yeah, that works for me. And the guide can be my *fetch* CM, my gofer if you will, to go run and get my food and my drinks, and to carry all my bags..etc...heeheehee ;)

Aw, you know I wouldn't do that, though an SG would. I would treat the guide to lunch and they would ride the attractions with us and I would hope that they would have as much fun as us!!! :D: They ARE allowed to have FUN aren't they?
susi :p:

People think because they have a passport they are GOD in the parks now. sorry people, a passport is just a year paid in advance. you are still not the king or queen of the parks.
you just have a subscription to the parks.

oooh, I pay for my newspaper by the year, and it should be delivered to me in bed with a free breakfast when I want it?

When I have my AP I am still polite and wait in lines and act like a regular guest. and any special stuff I pay for like a regular person.

I guess that when some people get them, they think it entitles them to a lot of stuff that we all know costs extra! The only thing that I was grateful for is a discount on some tours, but I would get the SAME discount by using my Disney card! Classic SG.

Hey, to the SG that was a lot. I remember back in 1994 or 1995, we were at WDW at the magic Kingdom. It was not very crowded and DW and I were waiting for a parade, there was less that two deep along the parade route, and we were standing about three feet from a "crossing" area where you could walk out onto the parade route, as the parade was not yet started.

From behind me I felt something hit the back of my shoes and heard a women yelling "MOVE MOVE" think that there was some sort of emergency or something I turned and asked if I could help. Without looking at me, she said "if I tell you to move, you will move out of my way." (she was pushing a kid in a stroller that was just setting there, looking at everyone.) Since there was a rope up, (and some little kids setting on the curb in front of us) I pointed to the walkway area (didn't know the "Disney" point back then) and told her that the exit was over there. She backed up and huffed off. Some of the other parade watchers told me that she had tried to get through further down, and a CM had told her of the crossing area. AS she walked in front of us, a large group to my left, that had told me about her, yelled in unison "Have a great day" and the whole area started laughing.

Maybe she had been sniffing some premium.
