We have now been back two weeks and already looking forward to next and free dining again!.
Just thought I would recount our encounter with a cast member at Blizzard Beach.
Basically what happened was that we went on the family raft ride and as there were 3 of us we had to share our raft with another party. Now thats all fine but when we got to the bottom of the ride we noticed that the raft behind only had 3 people in it.
As BB was not busy at all at the time re decided to re-ride and hiked back to the top of the mountain and indeed there was no wait at the ride.
We did note a sign which said minimum of 4 in a raft however no signs at the bottom of the climb to warn you!.
Anyway my wife asked very nicely if we could ride as a 3 so we could enjoy a family experience and also get a nice picture from the photo pass guy at the bottom.
The lady ride operator said she would need to check with a supervisor and we said ok thinking this would be a simple thing, however she then went off to her telephone to make a phone call.
We did find this a little odd as she came back to say her supervisor was on his way!.At this point things started to get a bit strained my wife asked where he was coming from and we were told some complicated story about how these messages are passed and that he was on his way.
As we we now standing in the blazing sun tempers were getting frayed and my wife said why is it that some go with 3 but not us. The CM said you need 4 for safety reasons, so OK fair enough weve had enough of waiting and no sign of the supervisor so we said we would go down and share with another party.
However we was now letting other parties go ahead of us and my wife said "you are just keeping us here to prove a point now "which she denied and kept saying he is on his way.
After a 15/20 wait during which I had visions of us being chucked out in disgrace the supervisor turned up had a discussion with the animated cast member and then came to us to find out what the problem was.
We explained what had happened and he apologised on behalf of the CM and said would we like her to apologise to us as well!.Well no thanks can we just go on the damn ride now my son is 7 and by now was parched.
Anyway we rode again (sharing) and put it all down to experince but not much pixie dust on the raft ride that day.
Later in the day we bumped into the very polite supervisor who remembered us and said that he hoped our day had not been spoilt.
Can I just add that 99.9% of CM on our visit were great and we look forward to going back next year.
