I've got a wonderful story. When Wishes had just converted to the fireworks perimeter around the castle in the MK, my husband and I had anniversary celebration ressies at Cinderella's Royal Table with my sister and her husband, on our last day before heading back to Chicago. Due to the new fireworks show, they had a lot of gliches and were running an hour behind schedule. So we dejectedly walked down the ramp to the front of the castle since we didn't want to miss the new Wishes show. We encountered a CM manager in a white shirt and tie, and my sister told him our story. Wait right here and watch Wishes, he said, and come back to CRT and ask for me, Jim. There was a mob of people waiting for Wishes, but he escorted us to just inside the rope on the ramp. THen he and an assistant came out with mini-burgers, mini-hot dogs, chicken strips and sodas while we watched. I asked Jim how we could eat at CRT when it was close to closing, and he said, we will remain open for you. We went up and had a wonderful meal and were indeed treated like royalty. We asked Jim if we should leave soon after the meal because it was the end of the night, and was closing, even the stores were closed. He said, take your time, the Magic Kingdom stays open until the last guest leaves and you will be the last guests. When we exited down to Main St, there only Security was present. THe lights were still on, the music was still on. I asked when they would turn off the music, etc., and he said, not until the last guests leave, and that is you! Talk about turning a negative into a positive!!! Jim stayed on at CRT for several years and was promoted to another Disney location, and we have followed him and go to see him every time we are in WDW. And I wrote some whopper emails to his management! Well done, Jim!!
