Disney microphones theory? I BELIEVE!

[mkymaus]

Ok, I am a believer....my daughter and I were in Disney over Halloween....we were having lunch at Coral Reef...we were sitting there STARVING, when I mentioned..."boy, I wish I had that bread right about now." When out of the blue, and not our waiter...we are handed a basket of bread. The waiter that gave us the bread had a sneaky look on his face and kinda gave us that ... um look. He was no where near us when I mearly in a soft voice mentioned this. Coincidence?? Read on....

Another night we were dining late at Spoodles on the Boardwalk...we were STARVED...again, LOL...and we ordered our food and a few minutes later our salad arrived at our table. After we polished it off in seconds flat ( you think Im kidding )...I said, "boy, it would be nice if she would bring us our salad"...again in a soft voice...and what do you think happened!!! A few minutes later our food arrives with an extra salad!!!! I told my daughter....ok, NOW, I believe!

Do YOU?!:slurp:

To ACCURATELY test the validity of this assertion, go to a Disney dining establishment and, checking to make sure no members of the waitstaff are within sight, quiety proclaim to your loved ones that you could really go for a frozen grapefruit with melted chocolate drizzled all over it sitting on a baby-blue dessert plate with a genuine silver spoon...

I did that once and was so mad when they came over and said they were out of Silver Spoons.

It's funny, but I remember talking about this with my folks about this once. a similar thing happened to us. I don't know, but I wouldn't be shocked to learn there are microphones everywhere.

 

[Lovecraft]

No way.

Who would man the mics and listen to all the guests? It would be near impossible.

I think it's done with magic, pure and simple.

I love your avatar! The Gashleycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey, one of my favorite books!!

 

[Lovecraft]

Thanks!

I love Gorey (and especially the tinies) I added the mouse ears to the children and now it seems even creepier to me.

My sister just had a baby she named Clara, and asked me my opinion of putting the tinie for the letter C up in the baby's nursery (She loves Gorey's works too).

"C is for Clara who wasted away".

Needless to say, I suggested to her that it was a bad idea for a little one to grow up with that hanging in her room. I told her to wait until the child was 6

Was it busy? I've had times at an Outback where they would bring us stuff we didn't ask for.

The CEO...no it wasnt busy..its was like 930 at night at Spoodles and at the Coral Reef....it was not even our waiter that brought the bread!!

 

[The_CEO]

Interesting. But like stated above. They wouldn't wire your table.... Talk about a lawsuit. Just consider it disney magic

Law suits, if you can "prove" it...LOL

WE did think it was the "magic"..of course..it was just funny that it happened twice while we were there....

Food was excellent by the way....Spoodles and Coral Reef ARE the best! If we werent so honest, we would of taken that second salad in a heartbeat!!! LOL

There is no way this happens. You would literally need a CM for each and every guest in the restaurant. Think about it. As humans, there is no way we could sit and listen to 5 conversations at once and pick out requests. Even if we could, how would they know which table 'that' request came from? Sure, they could label where each audio feed originated from, but if you are listening to several tables at once, it would be impossible to keep it organized.

I believe they could use VIDEO to do things like this, because we are much better visually. But even casino security doesn't listen to the audio of guests at tables unless they are monitoring someone specific.

I think what you experienced was just the wonderful service at WDW. I have always found Spoodles service to be excellent.

sorry to get off topic, but i had to reply. i had never heard of this book before, but i saw the A and B excerpts in my Design 1 textbook just this past Thursday. and just now i found a site with all the letters (http://users.aol.com/emarko/gorey.html)
this book is incredibly morbid! (well, i suppose it's a book) but i loved it! the K and the R were especially disturbing ("K is for Kate who was struck by an axe" "R is for Rhoda consumed by a fire") of course, being that my name is Amy, A is my favorite
but the ink drawings are absolutely exquisite! I just love Gorey's style! ink is one of the hardest medias i've ever had to deal with, so i admire his work very much!
