Does anyone else wonder when we stopped saying, "Please keep your group together!" as part of our attractions spiel.
Or, "Please take small children by the hand, exit and have a Disney Day!"
Though I do like "Please supervise your children!" :D:
Anyone else have spiels or statements that they really miss???

What ever happened to.....
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

We use both of those at GMR. "Please keep your group together" is in the pre-show speil, and "take small children by the hand" is in the exit speil.

My favorite is the recorded exit spiel at "Tough To Be A Bug":
"Please take your grubs by their grubby little hands...."
