Stupid Guest Tricks

weeehheeeeheelll..
i was working the matterhorn on monday it was pretty hot and girls were wearing skirts (which i never really understood why girls wear skirts to disneyland. so if i happento look not my fault, just checkin' seatbelts. altough there have been one or two reprimands that i wish i hadn't been a part of, but thats another thread.) and junk so it wasn't too bad. i was doing belts on b-side and i rarely will have to put my rock inhibit in unless the loader doesn't let the guest know ahead of time about there being two seatbelts or a large group comes in a insists on sitting together and i need to help them even more and possibly call other cast members down.

so i usually stand by the load cast member getting everything done before the next group comes in. this sled was filled with a mother in the back with her son and her daughter sitting in the front seat then another family that i didn't remember. buckled and they are down to the ready table. next groups comes in and i hear the chuck's bell indicating that something was wrong or i forgot to check something or a belt is hanging over the seat.. i look up and the shades are down in the tower and my lead is up there and i can only see him. the tower cast member struggles to get his hand out of the window and motions his hands in a "one-two" fashion. i call up with the ride phone and ask what the hell that meant.

after and explanation, it appeared that the mother had jump into the front seat whilst the sled was moving from the ready table to the dispatch position leaving her son in the back as she now sat with her daughter. i gave her soem big speil and alluded to the imfamous roger incident and warned her to never do it again, you know a big load in her face. she was frientened and all that junk. yay go me, however hes the kicker.

tuesday (the very next day) i was scheduled in toontown, and guess who i saw? thats right. scared to death of me, trying not to make eye contact. i finally realized who she was and when she looked at me she froze and i smiled kindly to her. she got in and as that train went up the lift i kept a watchful eye making sure that bitch didn't try and pull that stunt on me again. sure enough she hurried away after the 56 second ride let out. i sure as hell taught that guest. anyone else got a good story similar to this?

I'm sorry - I saw "belts" and females and all I could think of was the stuff you see that you really don't want to see when working belts. I'll sum it up like this...European tourist men in short-shorts wearing no underwear, flopping their legs open just when you bend over to check on their belts... :shock:

...although - I dunno...you guys might appreciate European women wearing no underwear doing the same 8)

I may think seriously about wearing protecive garments from now on! :shock:

I was working pooh corner. I believe it was a mother & her daughter. The daughter I would say in her 30's or 40's. They ask me first where they could get a Minnie Mouse hat. I replied the Mad Hatter in Fantasyland. They said we are not going that way. Then they said we are on our way out. I then said you could try the Mad Hatter on Main street which you would have to go right by to exit the park. They said again well, we are not going that way. I tried not to laugh. Anyway, after several explanations of where the Mad Hatter was by myself & another cast member they finally got the picture. After that was explained they then asked what the fastest way to the tram would be. I aksed if they would prefer the train or to foot it. They said we are not looking for the train we are looking for the tram. I said that I understand that they were looking for the tram but that I was offering another option if they did not wish to walk since it looked like the mother did not wish to walk, she told me she was tired. She again said I do not want the train just the fastest way to the tram. I finally gave them exact directions by foot & if they wished to take the train that they might have to wait a few minutes & advised them where the train station was located. I made sure & asked them which location they parked. They said the structure. I should have given them directions to the other parking lot, but I could not bring myself to do that. I also advised that if they took the train that the mother could sit on a bench & wait while the daughter went to the mad hatter. Again the mother said we want the tram not the train. I give up!!!! :roll:

The sad epilogue to your story, Jedi, is I'm 100% sure they walked away saying to each other: "What was wrong with that moron?? Couldn't he understand we wanted the TRAM and not the TRAIN??" :)

I was talking with a fellow cast member that was working in New Orleans a few days ago. He approached a guest that was smoking & not wearing shoes. When he gets up to her he realizes she is smoking weed & not a cigarette. He avised her that she could not be smoking that in the park & asked her to extinguish it. She hollered at him stating, "you can't make me do that & you can't make me lose my buzz" and blew the smoke in his face. She kept yelling profanities at him such as you M***** F******
A******, & so on. The husband finally showed up & dragged her over to the preferred seating of Fantasmic. The cast member called security & followed them, cast member had the cordless phone from the candy cart.
The whole time the cast member was describing the individual to security
he was right behind her so as to make sure he could hear everything. She apparently was quite disgusting with unkempt hair. I believe security halled her off. I would have told her this is the new millenium & that Woodstock was over.

hmm, what is it with Fantasmic, and weed, someone walked by me my on my first Fantasmic! shift, somking weed, unfourtunatly it was a busy split, and i didn't see the guy walk by, and just recently i was watching from Fantasmic 3's position i smelled it agian, but this time i had to wonder, since i smelled it about the same time each show, was it possible that it was the smell of the plants on the island side burning since the fire effects are used at the end of the show right near where one might find a plant.

And i know what you mean about bout people not getting the concept of a "train" that "goes" to "places" and also the don't seem to understand the concept of a steam train that runs on two rails, no electricity, and stays in the park, on the ground, not being a giant electric monorail the zippes around up and out of the park. not to mention that when you entered on it, it didn't let you off at main street, the costumes were red and white, and there were no ridiculous hats involved, people are not intelligent.

I was talking with a fellow stock cast member & she said a guest came up to her asking why Tigger on the t-shirt is spelle T I G G E R & not T I G G backwards R like he signed it in the Tigger Movie. She explained she was not sure why & that she did not design the shirt. He said that he has asked everyone this question & no one knows. She advised him to go through the line & get his autograph. He said he had already done that & that Tigger signed it T I G G backwards R. He went on & on round robin for 3 minutes as to why the shirt was not the same way. His friend then shows up & they start complaining to each other about the shirt not having the correct spelling. The cast member wanted to tell them that if this was there only problem in life then they should not have a problem. She also wanted to tell them that in America we use proper English. Just to let you know they were from the states as well & spoke perfect English.
