Sooooo, I worked at the wonderful Walt Disney World Resort last Summer, may be going back to work there here soon. Here's some things I noticed that people need work on!
How to... USE the Transportation System:
#1 The Parking Trams are not a personal funhouse ride. Sit in the tram, listen to your host, get off WHEN IT STOPS.
#2 The Parking Trams take you from the parking lot to the entrance of the parks or to the TTC. When you use it, remember where you parked.
#2A If you take a picture of your parking row at the beginning, you can refer to it at the end of the day.
#3 Monorails and Ferries are available at the TTC. The Resorts line and Ferries just might be quicker than you getting onto the Express monorail at open.
#4 Don't push people out of the way, just wait your turn.
#5 Ride the transportation for what it's for. The monorail is not your personal dancing pole.
#6 When your monorail or ferry stops, just walk, running will make it take longer.
#7 Don't jump over the gates at the monorail, they're there for your safety. Those trains don't like those sudden stops anyways.
How to... USE the Park Entrance:
#1 Have your pass or magicband ready.
#2 Aim for the shorter line that has a Cast Member at the touch points. Even if there's a slight line, it'll keep moving.
#3 Use the second touch point if the first is unavailable.
#4 Don't stop just on the other side of the touch point entrance. It backs up the line.
#5 Go through the tunnel or into the park, don't block any paths.
#6 If you want a picture of the flowers or station, step away from the open touch lines to do those.
How to... USE the Magic Kingdom:
#1 Know what you want to do so you can go straight there without blocking any paths.
#2 If the Trolley Show is about to start, get off the tracks.
#3 If the Trolley is OUT, get off the tracks.
#4 Don't block the station stairs, they get used for shows and for the ride.
#5 When walking down Main Street, try to avoid blocking doorways.
#6 Try to walk on one side of the sidewalk, not in the middle.
#7 Don't stand on garbage cans to see the show at the castle.
#8 Stay out of the road for parades.
#9 If it's crowded, try not to block any paths, it stops the whole crowd.
#10 Don't shove other people so you can have a spot.
How to... USE the Other Parks:
#1 Behave
How to... USE the Rides:
#1 If there's moving sidewalks, keep walking.
#2 If you're waiting for a ride and waiting on a group, wait outside the queue.
#3 If you have plans to ride a ride at a certain time due to fast passes, make sure you plan accordingly for walking and other rides.
#4 If you're waiting in line for a ride with a wait time, don't complain about the wait time. You saw it before you entered the line.
#5 When riding a ride, don't stand up. You'll upset everyone else since the ride has to stop.
#6 Book your fast passes early on for your favorite rides, it'll be harder to get them right then and there.
#7 On water rides, don't play in the water.
#8 Certain rides are more intense than others. Make sure you want to ride before delaying a whole line as you get there and don't want to ride.
How to... USE the Characters:
#1 If you want to see the castle show, try not to run up to the stage.
#2 If you are having a meet and greet with a character, have your books and pens ready.
#3 Each person wants their magic moment, don't try to rush someone away.
#4 If you can't afford photopass, ask the character attendant to take your picture with your phone.
#5 Since the attendants aren't always good at pictures, selfies are a good way to take pictures with characters too.
#6 Our happy friends are our friends, not our lovers. Keep it appropriate in meet and greets.
#7 Just because they are characters does not mean you can ruin the magic for other people.
#8 Some characters cannot do autographs. Feel free to get pictures instead.
#9 Characters in the parades cannot always come directly to you, so don't run out to them. Catch them next time.
#10 Meet and greets are even more fun when you add to the interaction. Ask them how they're doing.
How to... USE the Food:
#1 If you are thirsty, find a water fountain, or go to a quick service place and ask for a glass of water.
#2 Many quick service places have multiple lines. Look around before joining a line.
#3 If visiting a quick service place (like Cosmic Rays for instance) with a group of friends, wait for the friends before joining a line.
#4 If you're waiting for friends and y'all get in line, be looking at the menu before you get to the register.
#5 Try to get all of your stuff at the counter in one go. It's not always easy to go back up to get something you forgot.
I'll continue this as I can think of it. Kinda busy, XD
