Cast portal has some news of a guy who hit the 300th flight mark with M:S

He got an award and his friend and him got their own bay to ride all together for the 300th flight to Mars

"Cast Members at the attraction provided Kenneth a special Magical Moment by giving he and his friends their own personal bay for Kenneth's 300th mission to Mars. Kenneth also got a Magical Moment certificate signed by all the Cast Members working at the attraction during his special flight."

When I was keeping track, I saw the same Cm's all the time. Sometimes they even asked me what number I was up to. At one time, I was 2nd in line for most rides, beaten only by Rob

(as far as I know)

When Test Track was in its 1st year, I had a CM who counted me doing test track 7 times in one day! I'm sure if you (the guest) stands out in the crowd, they remember you. But, that week, I wound up riding test track 25 times. At the end of the year, I was well over 150 times!

God knows how many times I've been on TT now.

Who knows... maybe I'll reset the TT counter back to 0 and start over again. ;)

LOL

We had a couple who saw their 100th performance of Festival of the Lion King a few weeks ago. We got them a private professional photo opportunity with the floats and during the show, a Pumba plush signed by the cast, and vip seating for the parade. Good times!

Pheh. That's nothing. My son is autistic and riding Snow White's Scary Adventures is his favorite thing in the whole world. We go on it on average 20-40 times per week. I haven't kept specific count, but at a rough guess I would say we have ridden it over 500 times since we move here in August. I am reasonably certain that we have ridden it more than anyone else since the ride opened. Most of the cast members in Fantasyland recongnize us right away. If it's slow they will usually offer to just send us around several times in a row, which makes Ben deliriously happy. Me? I just kinda zone out. I am eternally grateful he didn't pick Small World to obsess on.

:lol: The positive side of it, huh? :animwink: Thank God indeed!

While I worked in El Rio del Tiempo, we had a family come on weekends with their 13 year old boy who had brain paralisis or something like that, to ride it over and over again. He knew my name and always asked me to twirl with the big skirt of my costume (he was no fool, eh? :animwink: good thing I wore the pettycot - lol). We enjoyed his presence a lot, not sure if his parents were that happy to ride it so many times though... hehehe ;)

Seriously, it's all in those experiences that make the GUESTS truly intimate with the parks to its extent - and the Cast Members, as well! I believe that the interactions with Cast are sometimes MUCH more memorable and enjoyable than the attractions. :)

I couldn't agree more. The rides and attractions are unique and often times awe-inspiring, but for many people who have been the parks before, this is almost expected, even taken for granted. But it's outstanding CMs that really define "the Disney experience" and truely make the visit magical. I only wish corporate Disney had a greater understanding of how important CMs are and keeping them happy, and how maintaining the magic of Disney is extremely dependent upon them.
