So, I was not having a pleasant day today at all...late to work, stuck at Ariel's for THREE hours, then Carrousel & we all know how I feel about that thing. THEN, I get sent to Peter Pan Fastpass return (AKA...the mob scene). Sure enough, people mad because they have to wait till their FastPass time, people wanting to sneak by with FastPasses for Splash Mountain, people mistaking me for Michael Eisner so they can complain about how unfair FastPass is, etc.
So, on a break from these people, I went to assist a wheelchair party through the accesible entrance when my manager comes running up & screams, "HOLD 'EM BACK! HIGH PROFILE GUEST COMING THROUGH!!!!" Ummmm....ok. I'm thinking, woohoo Eisner or someone, ya know? I turn to tell the newly gathered FastPass mob to hold off a second & they start screaming & rushing at me. I yell back "Look, I don't know what's up here folks, but I cannot have this! Back off & form a line, please". I turn to see what is up & I'm face to face with Michael Jackson!
So, what do I do? Even with all of my previous celeb encounters, I react by saying "Ohmigosh! It's Michael Jackson!" LMAO He had his two sons there in Spider Man suits as well. SOOOOO cute!
So, they took 2 trips through Peter Pan & when they were exiting, he came back by where I was with my FastPass crowd. He was great about stopping for pics & autographs...really sociable & sweet guy. The wheelchair party that I had originally been with had spent a lot of time waiting there with me & they were so sweet. The little girl with them got his autograph in her autograph book & then asked if he would do another one for me, which she tore out of her book & gave to me. ISN'T THAT THE SWEETEST THING YOU'VE EVER HEARD??????? He was really cool, thanked us for doing a great job, etc. Wow! I haven't even been a big fan of his in quite a few years, but that was still an awesome experience to have. VERY VERY COOL! And wouldn't ya know it, today was the first day I didn't have a camera in my pocket!!
A co-worker who adores MJ was in seventh heaven all night long after that. He finally got to meet his "idol", so he was ecstatic all night. Turns out, MJ visits frequently...esp. Fantasyland! WOW!
OK...I'm done now. That was just a VERY cool experience & I am still SOOOOOO impressed with that incredibly sweet little girl. What a doll!!!!!!!!!! LOL Guests creating magical moments for CMs, now, eh??? :lol:
