Weird CM rules

[SpenceMan01]

About not asking the time... I think that this kind of changes this feeling that most guests have of Disney CMs that, in some way, they know everything about the park, including what time it is. To an extent, as a guest you expect a CM to meet your needs and being knowledgeable is one way we CMs meet your needs. There have been times when I have needed to know the time but haven't been by one of the several clocks in the park but usually I would try to find another CM, rather than give a guest the feeling that there was something I didn't know.

Not the organ, but the phantom piano in the library. Although I do have a picture of myself at the organ, too.

Any of you folks still going to be down there in Jan. of 2007 and want to hook my GF and I up with a behind the scenes look... you know... kind of a 'wedding present' seeing as we'll be on our honey moon. Pretty please..

I think the facial hair thing is a little out of date. If a person has a very well kept gotee, they should be allowed to keep it. I don't see how that affects their job, but maybe I'm wrong. The Disney point is actually used by me at my work place...LOL. My co-workers just use a regular point, but not me. It is a little more curteous.

I don't think the issue lies as much with that as many different people have MANY different ideas about what a "tasteful" beard is. One of the other reasons for the facial hair rule change was the arguement that Walt had a moustache too.

Except for maybe at the Haunted Mansion a CM cannot say the word "dead". For instance while spieling on the parking trams, one cannot say, "if your car has a dead battery....". You must say something like, "If your battery is drained....." or "If your car won't start......" Also a parking cm cannot touch a guest's car even if he sees a door about to be taken off by the next incoming car. :hammer: :brick:

I buy the "can't touch the cars" thing, but the "can't say dead" one is a stretch :lol: Where did you hear that?

I've been told the same thing. Problem is someone might only catch that word and one or two others and mis-interpret it into something terrible.

On at least one attraction you are required to touch the guests....that is on the Jungle Cruise when loading or unloading guests in the boats. You are suppose to just touch around the elbow to help them, but many guest will just grab at the CM's to pull themselves out. It can be quite interesting where the guests grab or were your hand accidently goes as you are helping the guests out

Funny. I can imagine arrogant guests putting all their weight towards a CM helping them get of Jungle Cruise, expecting to be "pulled" off.

They also sometimes lose their footing and so as they fall they grab on to you. It takes all your effort not to fall in with them.

This is totally off-topic, but because it was asked....

Where did I hear it? When I was training for my current position as a parking CM
