This past November, my best friend and I were in the Test Track shop after we rode the ride. My best friend, Heather, was doing the license maker, but decided at the last minute not to do it. It was too late, and it already began to print. Not wanting to have done it, Heather went around the shop and asked every employee if she could just give her money back. Every employee nicely said that they can't do that, so we just gave up. Just then, she asked one last person, and he said he couldn't, but we ended up talking to him for a while.
He was really nice and funny, and kept on making fun of the way I looked and the way that Heather was acting. I forget his name, but I distinctly remember that he said he didn't work for Disney, but worked for GM, and that's why he was at Test Track. He was actually supposed to be in the car showplace instead of the gift shop. Anyway, we ended up talking to him for a good half hour, and he was really funny and friendly.
Eventually, he told us that if we came back tomorrow and asked for him, he would take us up to the GM lounge. He said that the view is great from up there, and he would take us up there himself. So we told him that we would meet him there the next day. We were about to leave, but then he asked us if we wanted to ride Test Track again, but we said we should really be going. But he told us that we don't need to wait, because he can just take us to the front of the line. He brought us over the the GM desk near the cars, and told us to wait there, and told the man behind the desk to talk to us until he came back. The other man was really nice, but we didn't mention anything about what the guy was letting us do, in case he shouldn't be doing it, we didn't want to get him in trouble.
So finally he came back, and now that I think about it, I can't remember exactly where he brought us. He took us to some stairs that went up, and then around a corner, and then we found ourselves by the exit of the ride, where you get out of the cars. He said he had to leave us here, and he got a woman CM to take care of us from there. She let us through, stood with us, and let us on the next car that came. Heather and I were in shock that this had happened, we had just been basically backstage in Test Track and were invited to come back to see the lounge tomorrow. It was surreal.
We actually didn't end up going back the next day. We were supposed to go to the Magic Kingdom, then go to Epcot to see the lounge, and then go back to Magic Kingdom. I think it ended up that we were too tired to leave and come back, so we just stayed. Plus, Heather's parents weren't too into the idea of this man that we just met taking us backstage. We later realized that this wouldn't be a smart idea either. I mean, yeah, it's Disney, but you never know. Not that I didn't trust the man. I actually regret it now. I really would have liked to see the lounge.
So that's my lounge story.
Oh! I have a question, too. My dad is a car salesman for GM. I know this probably wouldn't get me into the GM lounge at Test Track, right? But also, my uncle OWNS the company that sells GM cars, so what I'm saying is that my dad works for my uncle, his brother. Since my uncle owns a company that sells GM cars, could that possibly get me in the GM lounge, if I had valid proof with me? It's probably doubtful, but what do you think?
How? I appreciate your help!
