Stupid Guest Tricks

True Story:

I was working in the Castle Christmas Shop (when it was the CCS), and I had a female guest walk up to me and demand, "Where's the Castle?"

Me, lightly: Well, if you'll step outside and look up...
FG: No, the other castle.
Me, slightly puzzled: It's a Small World?
FG: No, the other castle.
Me: Um, Florida? (Don't you love the things that pop out before you can stop them?)
FG: NO. I mean the Other Castle.
Me: Ma'am, I don't -
FG: There is another castle at this park. I am supposed to meet my daughter there.
Me: Well, there is a small castle at Storybook...

I think that's where she ended up going.

I think this conversation was the biggest WTF moment I ever had at the park.

The only excuse I can think of is she had a debilitating neck disease that restricts the motion in her neck from looking up, and a glaucoma spot on her eyes blinds her from seeing all castles. HOLY POOP ON TOAST!!!! LOOK UP, YOU STUPID WOMAN!!! :bang:

I was chatting with a fellow cast member & she remembered about a week ago she was working at the candy cart in New Orleans when a guest approached her. The guest asked where the Tiki Room was. She gave perfect directions & pointed towards Adventureland. The guest looked at her in bewilderment as if she was giving her the wrong directions. The guest decided to walk towards the Christmas shop in New Orleans. The cast member stopped the guest right as she headed that direction & told her she would not get to the Tiki Room if she continued in that direction. The guest replied, So when did they move the Tiki Room? The cast member just looked in amazement :o & told the guest it has always been in the same place. The guest said, "funny, I was just here last week & it wasn't over there!"?:? Guest turned around & headed toward the Tiki Room.

Jedi! I've worked with you before. :D

Don't you just love when people do that! I've had that happen so many times...I just shrug and smile...knowing they'll be back for more directions.

A fellow cast member told me that she was coming back from lunch yesterday from behind pooh corner & a guest came up & asked her what time the firworks were. Mind you, they were already 5 minutes into the show & still going off. The cast member says, "Do you see those lights up in the sky, that would be them. The guest looked surprised :o & ran as fast as they could to catch them. How could they not hear them or see them? Makes you wander! :roll:

Monday starts my LOB training... :roll:

I was coming out of the stockroom for Owl Photo tonight when a guest passed by me. She had just come off of Splash Mountain & was telling the person on the other end of her cell phone that she just got off the ride. I go about stocking Owl Photo for a good 20 minutes & she was still standing in the same corner all that time still on her cell phone & then asks me, " Is this the exit to Splash Mountain :?: " Come on people :!: :roll:
Maybe she had short term memory loss :?:

I was working at Soarin' Over California, :D, And a young lady came up to me and asked me "Wheres the Tower of Terror," I said it's the big building in the back of Hollywod Backlot, she said" no the big scary ride that's supposed to drop you, and i said "In the back of Hollywood Backlot by the hyperion theater, and her response was, "Thanks for the help you're really creating the magic for me and my family."

i was walking to my location across main street and a guest approached me asking me why is the castle covered in a blue tarp. i expalined to her about the refurbishment going on for the 50th and she got upset saying it was unfair to her and the rest of the people coming from around the world and see that and she demanded her money back. i sent her to city hall and told her to put in her complaint in and she said she'd do that and put in a complaint for me because i was no help, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO! TAKE IT DOWN MYSELF?!
