Getting 3D glasses for Captain EO, when someone asks loudly "Why are you giving us sun glasses, isn't it dark in the theater, or is it one of those new open air kind?" oO

I was at the big tent shop in Mickey's Toontown and overheard (wasn't difficult) a woman yelling and screaming at her child to come take a g.. d... picture with her which made her child cry. I guess I must've been staring too much bc she turned to me and yelled that it wasn't any of my f.. business which technically was true but did I mention I was around 8 at the time?! I'm sure that picture turned out great. :rolleyes: Classy!

Yeah, "I've been to the county fair--why would I spend all that money to go to Disney World?"

WDW has done a great job at ruining local carnivals and amusement parks for me, in the same way that laying on a beach in the Caribbean has ruined visiting a Lake Erie beach here-and I mean ruined in a good way.

I saw a Brazilian woman with a thong bikini at Blizzard Beach.
I'm Brazilian so I understood her telling her family that "these people should just get over it. My *** is fabulous and it will be out for everyone to see."

The a CM showed up and said her bikini bottoms were not appropriate. She had to go back to her hotel and change. She was ****ed off and talking really loud in Portuguese how she was the customer so she's always right and that she didn't have any bathing suits that didn't show everyone how fabulous her *** was and that she had to go buy a new bathing suit. She then proceeded to say that if they had to go shopping, they might as well just go to Walmart and shop the rest of the day.

Yes, Brazilians don't have the equivalent of a one stop shop type of stores such as Walmart and they come here and shop the crap out of Walmart.

Disney tour groups have on their schedule, time slots for shopping at Walmart.

Do they chant while shopping and line jump at the Walmart checkout counters, too? :D

To be honest when captain eo first opened in the 80s 3D was a new thing. Now if this was during the reopen of Captin EO then I would have no clue how that person did not know what 3D glasses were.

Well, it's pretty common in theme parks, but, I don't recall ever seeing one recently outside of a theme park other then the occasional movie. I think it would be very easy to not know what they are for if you weren't really paying attention or didn't know what you were about to see was in 3D.

Always have and always will. I've never worn anything but shorts and T's during all my February trips. Wait, I take that back. One day during the 100th Birthday of Walt, I had to wear a windbreaker cause the north wind was a little chilly. Otherwise, always t's and shorts. You have to remember that when I would leave Vermont in February, quite often it was 20 or more below zero. That is a 65 degree difference and it seemed quite comfortable to me. I did have to chuckle at the Mittens, Parkas and Knit Hats worn by the CM's though.

Someone told us we were making them feel cold because they were bundled up and we were in shorts. It's all relative, in the 30s at home the day before, now it's 65? Shorts. It was in the 70s within an hour and I would have been miserable in long pants.

We were getting ready to get on our elevator at TofT. The CM was giving us the usual safety instructions, in character, and starts glaring at a woman on her cell phone in another row. The woman put her cell phone away. The CM proceeded, but continued to pick on the woman (who took it good naturedly)

Another CM comes behind us and says to the first CM, "You're so angry. It must be the constipation."

Needless to say, CM #1 broke character.

CM's are supposed to stay in character but honestly I think when they break the guest still get a kick out of it because it just shows we're all human.

I agree and I always like to see those human mements from the cast members. And I love it when I see them looking genuinely happy and enjoying their day (whether they are in character or not).

It can be a very rewarding job.... I tell people I can't wipe the smile off my face. They pay me to have fun and I look forward to every shift with excitement.

It's great, if it's rare. Otherwise, every ride becomes the Jungle Cruise.

Your right it should be rare but there are those times that it's just spontaneous and you let go and put it behind you and get right back in character. And in that odd special way it may have been amusing to some guest not because of the joke but they got to see a side that is not often revealed.

All of my CM friends take the role seriously. We are in the entertainment business. We do it because we love it. We know guest come to WDW for that special experience that can't be had anywhere else and it's our job to deliver. As a guest we know you have choices to were you can spend your vacation dollars and you choose Disney. There are many different types of amusement parks throughout the country with really cool rides but none have the immersion and the special interaction you get with Disney CM's. That's what makes us different. I know because I was a guest many many times through the years and that was a big part in my fascination with the parks. The CM's made it special.......... wow I just proof read my post and I sound like a tv commercial LOL.

"I thought Walt was a character but he's real"
"Oh my god, that squiggly is the D is Disney. I just thought it was a logo" In reference to the large Disney lettering outside of the All Star Resorts.

Same folks that show up in Orlando in February, still dressed in cargo shorts and tshirts, even though the local temp is around 45.

45 degree day in Winter and I'll be in tee shirt and shorts every time. I remember being at EPCOT in the early 2000's and a cold front was going through. All the locals were in heavy coats and hats. My family which had just left 17" of snow and single digit temperatures in Ohio had on our Ts and shorts when One of the locals looked at us and said " Not from around here are you?" wonder what gave it away.
