"One Theme Park Per Day" Means Just That! (And other Holiday Turnstile SGTs)

The hectic Christmas-New Year's period has just started, and already I want to pull my hair out....
A selection of my favourites, presented in SG-lesson format:
"If your tickets say 'One Theme Park per Day', it means that you can only visit one Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park each day of your ticket."
"It does not mean you can visit one park and then go to another."
"It does not mean you can go into one Theme Park, decide you don't like it, and leave to go to another."
"Yes, Epcot is indeed considered a Theme Park, one the largest in the United States, in fact."
"No, all of Walt Disney World is not one giant park."
"No, your tickets are not valid for admission ever to Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld Orlando and/or any other Central Florida attraction that is located outside of the Walt Disney World Resort."
"I don't know what the Ticket Seller at Universal Studios Florida told you, but your Universal Orlando Resort tickets are not valid for admission to Walt Disney World."
And my particular favourite....
"Mam, your Disney Gift Card is not valid for admission to our Theme Parks in and of itself. You need to buy a ticket with it first." (I spent about five minutes trying to explain this, and I still don't think the Guest understood.)
Yep, if Christmas Day/Boxing Day can be like this, I shall be bald by New Year's....

Maybe you should start a tradition of boxing their ears on boxing day!

Or maybe putting them in a box.

Hmmm...that's not a bad idea...a penalty box! Like the ones used in hockey games, surrounded by clear plastic so everyone can see the person who has been penalized. Oh! And it should have a display for showing the SG's offense that landed them in the penalty box!
Well, one can dream, I suppose... :cat1:

Oooh, make them wear signs all day saying what they have done :twisted: .
"I caused a scene because even though I knew I had to make dining ADR's, I didn't. Instead I threw a fit (that could be heard three counties away) and told the CM who refused my angel breakfast at the castle that "I would get them fired".
(Can I volunteer to make the signs? LOL)

I was thinking more of a black oblong box, buried about six feet down.

Perhaps something in knotty pine, with brass fixtures, then?
