Me too! I always thought to myself, "Those cast members have the EASIEST jobs on property. Just stand there and bounce those balls because no one is buying them."

Yep...part of the video loop on the WDW Resort television channel and her "Top Things" or "Must Do" segment.

I'm having a hard time summing up my feelings on this. You do have a point, but what I keep finding it comes down to, after my 100s of times passing them, is they're really ugly, the balls create congestion, and you're literally throwing stuff at someone to buy.

Good riddance, those things were annoying. And I agree, I never saw one sold ever.

As much as this shouldn't be a big deal at all, it is one of those things that will make my 7 year old SO sad. We have to stop every time we are in MK so she can play with the CM working there. She would stay there for an hour if I let her! She always asks to have a ball and I always said no...until the last trip, I agreed. Good thing since she couldn't get one anymore. 
I have decided I am not even telling her about anything else...it has been nothing but constant bad news since we returned in June about characters being removed, hours being cut, rides shutting down, and now this.

Actually, obvious would be a matter of point of view; to the theatrically-oriented, the obvious would be a question about Chaucer and Rabelais. (Unless that's what you meant, but my readings through this forum would not lead me to expect that particular reference, at least not immediately.)

Did they ever sell any of them? Whenever I saw a CM in that "booth", they were doing their best to be as friendly as possible to everyone they annoyed. To the epcot purists, I know those booths were as much of an eyesore as the wind mills and tarps.

No more bouncers at Epcot. My friend used to brag that he was a bouncer, and when asked what club, he said at Disney - but he was a Balzac bouncer at Epcot! :ROFLOL:
