I love Leave a Legacy. From the first time I saw it, I thought it was such a cool idea. And I'm usually one who hates big changes around the World. The tile that my friends and I have is so special to me and now that the 5 of us live so far apart, seeing it makes my heart ache to see them again...

We usually get there as early as they will let us so we can get the best seats. Then someone will go get some food and we play war or some other card game until the place gets full and the wave starts. We always talk to the people around us. I have met some really cool people from all over the...

Again, this may be a stupid question, but for some reason I can't remember... do you hear the spiel from the front car? He always likes listening to that on my mp3 player. Pirate/Custodian Jeff °o°

Wow thanks everyone. I feel stupid for being able to figure it out on my own. Also I forgot to mention we won't have a car. So I'll probably take a bus to Epcot, monorail to TTC, then Express monorail to MK! That way he will have enough monorailing to satisfy him for the whole trip. I'm so...

I think I asked this in the middle of someone else's thread and didn't really get a response so I figured I'd do it the right way. I'm taking my boyfriend on his very first WDW vacation. We're going to be staying at the Pop Century resort and our very first day will be spent at MK. But I want...

My boyfriend and I are going on Oct 7! I'm so excited! It's his first trip to WDW (besides the one as a child that he barely remembers). Our first day down there will be the 7th which we'll spend in MK and then stick around for MNSSHP so we don't think we're gonna change into costumes. I was at...

Working on PotC, I saw a lot of mishaps with the AA's. The "captain" in the scene where they're drowning the mayor (the guy shouting out the orders) for some reason has a lot of problems in his neck. So many times I have gone through that scene and noticed his head upside down dangling at his...

I remember during the hurricanes last fall (not that they were Cat5, but still...) the worst damage I saw inside the parks were broken windows, small pieces of building fronts missing, and debris from the trees in the area. Before Frances hit, the parks closed early, and everything that wasn't...

I can't even count how many times that happened to me. For some reason, some people have that idea that it's okay to trash place because it's someone's job to clean it up. That is not quite the case. While we are there to keep the place clean, the place is only staffed enough to keep up with...

Not the organ, but the phantom piano in the library. Although I do have a picture of myself at the organ, too. Pirate/Custodian Jeff °o°

About not asking the time... I think that this kind of changes this feeling that most guests have of Disney CMs that, in some way, they know everything about the park, including what time it is. To an extent, as a guest you expect a CM to meet your needs and being knowledgeable is one way we CMs...

I have seen some noticeably slower days during the end of January and into most of February. As anyone who has been to the MK can tell you, Fantasyland is always packed with people, even on a normal day. One day in February of 2003, it was so dead there that I was dancing and doing cartwheels...

This might be a stupid place to ask this and I can't believe I even need to, but I've never really been a WDW guest before, just a CM. Does anyone know if there is a bus from the Pop Century Resort to the Trans. and Ticket Center? I'm taking my boyfriend on his first trip to WDW in October and I...

The things I treasure the most are locked up in a safe deposit box in the bank where I work. It is pretty much everything I was given as a WDW Cast Member. Employee handbooks, pay stubs, backstage maps, schedules, pins, buttons, picture frames, pictures, pens, magnets... all things that you...

I do it all the time at work here at the bank in Illinois! I even went so far as to just go ahead and book it and took the days off work! I'm so bad! I'm also guilty of "driving" around the Disney area with Google Earth. I drive from my old apartment to the cast parking lot and then all around...

As a former WDW PotC CM, I of course hold a major place in my heart for the Wicked Wench (the ship in the bombardment scene) and I would hate to see her go. But she is in a terrible state if disrepair. Nothing that you notice as a guest, but her structure is made up of a lot of metal which has...

The only thing I was ever told as a CM was not to clump around with other CMs. I can't imagine ever being asked to stop interacting with a guest unless it was creating a situation, like if I was loading boats at PotC and just kept the same person there talking to them, it would hold up the line...

No such thing as "too old" at WDW!

Hearing this kind of thing makes my blood boil. I can imagine the steam blowing out my ears right now! I'm a seasonal CM at WDW and it just makes my heart sink to hear of incidents like this. But I have to agree 100% that there is a problem that needs to be dealt with. It's been years since I...

I've ridden PotC that many times at least. Of course, I was a CM there for a year! And ride-thrus are a typical occurance each shift. Pirate Jeff °o°
