ISTCrew's September 20th WDW Update

[KevinPage]

Greg,

If you know how to get a High 8 video onto the net, let me know (I have no idea)

 

[KevinPage]

IST Crew,

Pooh queue - All right. I don't think it's an error, my wife says it is. To me 'alright' is more of a slang phrase and I don't think Eeyore talks in slang

Well, I have done it... if only I could remember how

I'll look into it for you

Well, it might be, it might not, but I was always told, and taught that the word "Alright", was spelled with one L, and not two, like Allright. Anyway, just thought I'd bring it up

 

[KevinPage]

Yes, Alright is spelled with 1 "L". BUT, I think it is correct in using it as 2 words, so there would be no error and still be proper grammer

 

[MrNonacho]

Yep, both are acceptable:

[Figment1986]

weard, most english teachers teach it to you as alright, last year Mrs. ***** said it is All right and the other way is bad...

(now im far away from here and going back to my nicer bad spelling...)

Anyway, we were all drivin in the middle of track, and, you know how I do, my hands arent on the wheel, but, I was talking to someone on my cell, and digging in my pocket. Anyway, the guy in front of my friend, Tifani, stops, and she stops, and I hit her (reeeeeaaaaalll hard) but, it wasnt my fault...and the CM dude standing on the side is all screaming at me, and I just drove off, with a finger in the air....

Okay, I'll probably get flamed by every one who loves your regular updates for this, but you need to look up the meaning of the word responsibility. The cast member had every right to give you a hard time. You were in the wrong. Your response was inappropriate. Much is made on these boards about a family atmosphere at WDW. Your response was what people go to Disney and hope they don't see. Yes, you are young. That doesn't exscuse you. About ten years ago I had to stop with on a two lane road because someone in front of me stopped to make a left turn. They sixteen year old behind didn't because he was distracted. Lets talk $10,000 in damage and, fortunately, no injuries. He told the cop it wasn't his fault (sound familiar?). All it cost him was his license for 6 months and reimbursement to the insurance company. Better talk to your dad about this because from the earlier part of your post, mom isn't much better than you are. JMO.

OMG, seriuosly, I realize how just, completely aweful bumping another car, on a 6 mph ride is. Man, I should of just gone to jail. I was wrong, but to get yelled at for a mistake, at a place where your supposed to have fun is wrong. If you dont like my updates, dont read them, plain and simple, your loss

This is exactly how I feel also. Those actions are horrible. I personally belive Patrick feels he.. Ok nevermind. I'm gonna make way for the exit. and leave the poor soul alone.. Bye

Hey, you have every right to come on here and voice your opinion, no problem there, but cool your jets. Your last sentence there speaks volumes about yourself. Coming onto a Disney message board and talking about someone's mom? What is this, sixth grade?

Voice your opinion, specifically on Disney, not on anybody else's mom. I could care less if he does weekly updates or not, it has nothing to do with that. I'm at WDW 4 days a week right now, so that matters almost none to me. I would jump in and say this to anyone throwing out personal insults towards anyone.

Speak rationally, or your words come with no respect. I've learned that the hard way.

Yes his actions were inappropriate. However I’ve seen Cast Members over react and yell especially when it’s a young adult. To compare it to your unfortunate mishap is just crazy. The speedway is nothing like the real road. A bump it 6 mph isn’t going to cause any damage and it does happen all the time. If were going to yell at someone, why didn’t the Cast Member yell at the guest in front of him who stopped on the track. I don’t know Patrick personally, but from reading his update’s he sounds like a kewl guy who was just having fun and being a kid. I think the lecture was not needed.

--My mom dropped my friend off at Epcot this morning. She usually brings us to the guest drop off. Well, we were following the green line, and we pulled into the drop off area, and saw a sign saying do not enter. She just went on going, and in the Epcot dropoff, there must of been 15 portables all scattered around. What for, I dunno. By the time we drove up there, security was behind us, so my mom kicked us out the car, and we had to run for it

The word is responsibility whether it applies to an adult or an adolescent. My problem is not with Patrick having an accident. It's with his response. "It wasn't my fault." Of course it was. He was also wrong for his response to the cast member. The old adage that two wrongs don't make a right applies here.

For the record, I find the updates entertaining. However if he were my child and pulled a stunt like this we'd have a problem.

I cant beleive Im even wasting my time, but, we did that cuz we thought it was a misplaced sign, and the guy at the toll booth didnt tell us to go a different way to the drop off. She didnt kick us out of the car, and if she did, its not your position to tell her she's wrong or a bad driver.

How you disipline your kids is your business, none of mine, so I really dont know why your even posting it. It was a spur of the moment decison, and it wasnt right, but whats done is done. The CM yelled, and pointed at me, and I wasnt gonna say, "Yes Sir"...thats not how I am, and thats to bad if you dont agree. Im done discussing this issue, if you have a question about the update, ask, but please keep your personal life, and your poinions out of MY updates, for another thread, forum, or just to yourself...

thank you
Patrick

 

[ToTBellHop]

Can we give the kid a freaking break? His actions were nothing in your lives, honestly. Some of you take this site WAY too seriously and need to either grow up, get out more, or simply stop criticising people you don't know.

 

[mkt]

sorry Patrick.. but if I were the CM I would have had Disney security waiting for you at the exit...

 

[shuflemstr]

Could everyone get off of ISTCrew20's back about this. I don't think he did anything wrong. The accident was just that an accident. Nothing was intentional. Who cares about the way he responded to the cast member who yelled at him. I don't think it would have warranted having security waiting for him. I could bet that a large majority of you all, at his age, have probably reacted the same way but in a different situation. Kids are going to be kids.

I agree that everyone needs to back off. It was a spur of the moment thing.

I'm sure none of you have ever shown someone the finger or got upset when out on the road driving.

 

[ISTCrew20]

Thanks guys....I know what I did is wrong, but I didnt have much time to think of how to react. It's ridiculous the way this was blown up to make a little incident this giant, 2 page fight. Im going to be bumping cars on the Speedway now, and forever. The finger will change, and I will be more respectful. I mean, if you guys would rather have a dry update all the time, with no stories from the parks, lemme know, and I'll make that change. If the SOP for bumping another car on the Speedway is to scream and yell at the person who did it, I think that needs to change. I enjoy writing these updates, and filling you guys in on the latest going's on, but, if you guys are just going to riducule, yell, and preach to me about how I should of acted 4 hours earlier that day, then perhaps I should stop?
