Okay, went to Disneyland yesterday to kill some time. Fantasmic! is starting soon, and I'm walking through the area to get to Haunted Mansion.

I see a sign.

"Please Keep To Your Right"

No problem, its just like driving a car here, stay on the right hand side of the road. Too bad Disneyland was full of stupid guests. People coming at me at all directions, and having to avoid them, and I'm as far right as possible! (Any farther right and I'd be walking on the rope that seperates the preferred seating or whatever) And then there were the people that were going my direction on the left hand side. Can DLR guests read? Guess not...Jeez, you think keeping to the right would simple enough, but to these guests, it was like...brain surgery.

I've noticed that due to my having to often walk through said crowded areas hearing the "Stay to your right hand side please" chant I am constantly walking on the right hand side of wherever I am. I could be walking through a parking lot, mall, grocery store, etc. and I always catch myself on the right hand side of the path.

Sigh...the habits one picks up working for Disney.

How many times we have dreamed of taking one of the trams on a slow speed (14 MPH) chase down the 5 freeway. :twisted:

I wanted to hit a manual E-stop on my last day, unfortunately I called in on my last day!

hey i went as a guest on friday too! :lol:
i went with another friend from work... and i dunno i think other guests can somehow sense that we're CMs are something, cause we kept getting stopped and asked questions and stuff...either that or they noticed the 2 finger point we would use (special guest spidy sense) :?

the 2 finger point we would use

That's why when I'm working I hold somthing in my hand whenever I point at something. Either a guidemap, times guide, radio, or a flik card. Those have all but helped eliminate the 2 finger point. And it becomes natural to use one finger again.

I totally believe Guests have the Spidey Sense. Over the summer, there was a big group of us who went into the parks as Guests, and this guy walks up to me and asks what time the parade is. Seriously wierded me out...

Nope. As someone who has never worked as a Cast member and was visiting DCA for the first time ever in December, I was still asked questions. I think people just ask you questions if it looks like you know what's going on.

^ Guess that exlpains why people ask me if I work at Wal-Mart every time I go there to check out electronics. Though I don't look REMOTELY like I could be working there....

And stupid guests always seem to ask me crap when I go to Knott's....it's freaky.

I don't work there, so leave me alone. :throw: :hammer:

I am always stopped to take photos when i am a guest in the park. it gets to be very annoying when im trying to enjoy my day. even if i am with a group of cms i am the one that always gets stopped and asked :?:

Yea, have to agree with you all. What's really annoying is when I would be actually working there, trying to do what ever I wanted at that given time, and I am stopped to take a picture. Now, I am not a mean person, but I really wanted to CUT their heads off... muwhaha :twisted: but seriously, although I thought they had a special spidy sense, it's really just a stupidity sense, anyone who LACKS stupidity gets asked a question... sadly, that typically leaves the off-duty CM's. Sucks to be smart, huh? :wink:

Oh good...I'm glad I'm not the only one! I also find myself pointing with two fingers even when I'm not at work
