What makes a CM "snap" As a former CM with an 18 month contract I have had my fair share of experiences - both good and bad (mostly good) - with guests and out of all the bad experiences I was rude once. Let me preface the "rude" story by telling you that I worked at the Woodcart in the...

I agree. I'm a fan of Blackadder and have always recommended it to friends but as soon as they see it everyone says, "Oh it's Mr. Bean!"

PO FQ Pool

I always thought it was funny that Rowan Atkinson voiced Zazu, since one of his most famous roles was Mr. Bean...it's like when you see him he doesn't speak, and when he speaks you don't see him :lol: I always liked Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts because she has such a motherly voice and...

I always visit the theme parks in the order they opened. Always have a Mickey Ice cream right after I get off Haunted Mansion (I swear now, it's like Pavlov's dogs now or something because as soon as i come out the exit I start salivating) Always ride Spaceship Earth twice on Epcot...

There is a Disney University on property where you can take courses for computer skills or educational upgrading as well as fun courses such as the bartending course I took where I learned how to flip bottles, juggle and pour with a team mate and make a blowtorch, where you spit out a spray of...

Just thought of another funny one...not terribly shocking but still funny. Part of my job was to engrave names on leather bracelets for guests. A young newlywed couple came up (they had Just Married @ Disney shirts on) and they were picking out bracelets for each other. They were quite...

^^^ Yeah I found it funny that she thought the falls would look completely different just be crossing the border. Like, yeah, on the Canada side we have trained monkeys tightrope walking across the falls while juggling fiery swords and tossing $100 bills down to the onlookers. It's a...

I had a few nights closing the woodcart in Canada where I was late for one reason or another...resolving guest issues, miscounting cash etc...and instead of taking the bus back to costuming which actually picks me up behind Canada and drives past EVERY OTHER COUNTRY before dropping me off at...

Reminds me of more tales of Canadaland (yes, it has actually been called that) A woman made a point of telling me that she had been to Canada and it was a "craphole". I said, "Oh really, where did you visit" She said, "I saw the other side of the Niagra Falls in 1971 and it didn't look...

I was a member of the Hurricane Task Force when i worked there so i was always on call to respond in case of a hurricane. Being inland, hurricanes rarely affect Disney, they most often turn to a tropical storm once they're no longer over open ocean. I was called to duty twice during my time...

Resort hopping is very popular. You can also make a point of visiting a few resorts during your park days. The monorail one's are obviously easy to visit during a MK day. Breakfast at one of the resorts then an early resort hop by monorail is always nice. A lot of people will do MGM in...

Another war story from the Canadian pavilion. I once had a family checking out souvenirs on our outdoor cart. We had some plush Plutos with a Canadian flag shirt on....I don't know how we got Pluto as our mascot...most of us wanted Winnie-the-Pooh because the UK has lots of characters to...

I've stayed there and really enjoyed it. It is not themed with a lot of "Disney" more like the Disney resorts with a grand theme/era. It reminds me a bit of Wilderness Lodge in it's themeing. The colours are muted earth tones and there are rustic touches inside the rooms with "aged" wooden...

Ok...all this breastfeeding is getting to me :lookaroun:lookaroun:lookaroun well...you know what I mean I'd rather get back on the topic. Reading about the Epcot "Dome" reminded me of another question that I got asked several times but one particular time it was quite funny. A woman...

Wow...alot of great minds have been working on this problem. I don't suppose anyone could help me with a question that's been on my mind for some time now... exactly how much ground CAN a groundhog ground?

1999.78 miles

That reminds me of a man who asked for a photo with me. He and his wife were probably in their 70's and he said he was getting a picture with a "pretty girl" from each country. I didn't mind at all...who could resist being picked as the pretty girl from Canada :o but his wife must have felt...

You're so right...Epcot is really geared to a pretty exclusive clientele...it's not for everyone only for people who like: Thrill rides, space adventures, great food, cultural experiences, musical entertainment, comedy troupes, movies, archetecture, science, horticulture, education, drinking...

It's a Small World After All... I have the greatest story of having my photo taken with a guest... Just before my contract ended at Disney my Mom told me she had started dating this man that she really liked. When I came home and met him he said I looked familiar. Well, about a year...
