Why do SOME CMs Spread False Information to Disney Geeks Like Me?
Okay.. so I was over at the latest M:S thread, when something said caught my attention...
People come here with "rumors" all the time which have supposedly come from Cast Members at the parks.
My question is: Why do Cast Members lie to the guests - spreading false information and such??
I mean, I would think it would be Disney policy that they shouldn't do something like that. Plus, it may seem funny... but to me that's just mean.
The reason this struck me is because I too have been the butt of a few different CMs' lies. My most recent example was when I was down in mid-December at MGM. I was so excited b/c I read on this site that TOT4 "soft-openings" had begun. So, I asked the CM at the gate if they were running TOT4 tests that day. His response, "Yes." Then, before we boarded our elevator, I asked another CM. His response, "We have no control over our elevators any longer." To me, that was another confirmation.
But as the ride started the drop sequence. It was the EXACT same as the previous hundred times I've ridden. We rode it 6 times in about an hour - every drop sequence exactly the SAME! I was so ticked at those CMs. I even said, "Thanks for lying to me," to the one at the gate.
Not very nice.
