Hi there,
First of all, Great thread. I've been full time Jungle Skipper since the mid 90's. Why do I do it..well, I love to make people laugh and have a great time. I love to see the fun the kids as well as adults have, they are like little kids again..fun stuff. I know our jokes are old at the Jungle, but we all love having fun around the dock, I'm sure most of you have seen this. It's true we meet alot of amazing guests and very few upset ones. I, myself do my best to assist those guests too, help their day be a little more magical. While the money isn't that great we have something very special at the jungle... WE are one gigantic, fun loving, bad joke telling,family and pretty close to each other in that respect. As far as this pin mentioned , it does exsist, I've seen it, but it's a more recent addition to the kudos we get from recieving a letter from a happy guest we treated above and beyond. I seriously don't consider this a job, never have..I'll say it as I always have. I am a traditionalist, I'm a Disney purist, I love the ole' Disney and everything associated with it, though I truly miss 20k... The day I treat this is a job will be the day I leave Disney. I don't see that happening anytime in the near future.
Thank you to all who have joined us for brief stay or even a day or less. Without you this would be a job.
Cheers,
Babs..aka Whinging Wilderness William
