My wife and I met Captain Jack Sparrow on Castaway Cay last February. We asked him what it is like to be a passenger on board and not be in charge. He told us in his usual CJS way that the cruise is not over and he is in the market for a ship...as it were. You just have to ask the right questions.

My cousin was jogging on the Dream's promenade deck one morning when CJS came stumbling out of a Cast area onto the deck. The deck is always empty so he just started wandering along. My cousin looked around, saw no one, and said, "Pirate walk of shame?" The CM completely broke character and broke down laughing.

Back to the original OP...they no longer do the Andy's coming thing. Sad but going viral spolied it. I first saw it on facebook and then instagram on about ten different accounts in the same day. Would have been cool.:eek:

I'm still holding hope that in the right circumstance somebody will say it and it will work

Maybe Disney should grow some....you know whats....and go public about this. They love to use that blog of theirs - perhaps it's time to issue a statement. And maybe, just maybe, the attendants can make an announcement to the guests in queue, letting them know that they do not participate in the internet myth.

And instead of taking away something from the good kids, perhaps they could throw a Disney Security CM at the Toy Story greets to further enforce the policy. That way, if someone is actually assaulted (so far, I don't really believe those stories), they can be removed from the park immediately.

But no....telling the customer is wrong is bad PR, so God forbid they actually do something about it.

I HIGHLY doubt that. There's no way the problem is that bad, I assure you. People are making a stupidly big deal out of this whole @#^$ thing.

I will have to look for the article but I read that guests were saying the phrase fifty times within an hour and a half. That's excessive. People had to ruin it. Sometimes there are some secrets that should be left as secrets.

I don't know. Although they haven't been specific with how often, some of my character attendant friends are saying that this fad has been attempted enough with the characters to be sufficiently annoying. I doubt that anyone was assaulted, though.

I think part of the problem is actually the world "assaulted". I mean, it sounds super-bad, but, in reality, it could be anything from a character getting bopped by an empty plastic bottle to someone breaking a Nalgene bottle in half and using it to slice open a major artery. Either way, those people need to suffer some major consequences.

No one is breaking bottles and slicing arteries. C'mon. Plus no way a plastic water bottle is strong enough to cut through a chracter costume anyways.

I doubt it was the same person sitting there and yelling it every 8-10 minutes. So if you said it when you got to the front of the line, then 10min later I said it (unknowing that you had just said it 10min before), then someone else came by 10min later, etc, etc....did people really ruin it? I agree it has become a big deal that has seemed to really annoy Disney, but I don't think you can blame guests for ruining it when they read about it and wanted to try it?

I read on tumblr that someone who was "friends" with Jessie fell when someone said "Andy's coming!" and they actually got fired for doing it since they violated safety measures.

You can blame the Internet for ruining it. At same point in the past, someone figured out it might be cute to do the Andy thing with the Toy Story characters.

It was clever to think of, it was creative interaction with the characters, and it was probably very cool to see. Being posted on the Internet ruins it because it is not cute anymore when guests are constantly doing it, and then are getting offended when the characters aren't doing it for them.

The Internet kills the creativity and fun of things like this. People see it, and copycat it to death.
