Hey LittleMerman! Welcome back! (I hope this is you coming back other wise I haven't noticed you're other posts this month )
I hope you have fun in WDW! It's Escapay's last week, so he'll probably be sad if you see him . Just make sure you don't go to MK on Saturday b/c he won't be there!
Here is another tip:
Haunted Mansion Tip
When boarding your doom buggy and entering the hallowed halls of the mansion, DO NOT stare back at Master Gracey's hired help that is "treadmilling" on the moving floor. Just don't do it. Really. Don't. I speak from experience.
ok, i realize summer is practically over and not many of you are visiting disney...but here's my whole take on tips, guests, cast members and everything.
Now, from a cast member's point of view, guests may sometimes appear to be "rude, incoherent, or stupid,". But that's only because the castmember usually knows more about WDW than the average guest. So it's basically like a third grader talking to a first grader.
So to any cast members or future castmembers here, it's ok to get a little annoyed w/ guests, but just count to ten, accept and answer the "stupid" question/comment, and respond with a smile. And get over it...go ahead and complain a little to a fellow cast member, but let it go. You're there to help guests enjoy their experience.
From a guest's view...the main reason they ask some of the silliest questions is because it is so much easier and quicker to talk to someone or ask someone than to get out the map/timesguide/$30 guide book, open it, and try to find what you're looking for. Again, it is like a first grader asking a third grader to explain addition for the hundreth time.
Line Tips...now, the whole when to go on what ride tip thing is really hard to figure out. It largely depends on the season, the day of the week, etc. So, basically, just expect lines. Lines are everywhere, even in the airport, so be prepared.
Now, my own tips for everyone.
- Hakuna Matata: Don't Stress. No Worries.
+If you worry about lines, you'll be stressed while you're in line, and then you'll be disgruntled by the time you reach the front. That's never fun.
+If you are aggravated by prices, count to ten, it is Disney World, and if you really need to have that $8 Tinker Bell balloon, then you'll spend the $8.
+If you get mad that there's lightning and you're favorite outdoor attraction closes, stop and think...ok, maybe it isn't good to go on a metal ride while there's lightning in the air.
+If you're stressed because the ten thousandth guest complained about one tiny inconvenience in WDW, take a deep breath and ask if a free ice cream would help them.
- Take a moment and take in your surroundings.
+Take in the smell of the delicious brownies by Mrs Potts' Cupboard
+Listen to the wonderful music in Main Street.
+Admire the intricate details of the castle mosaic mural
+Try to make the bellhop at Tower of Terror laugh
+Pretend you're holding the "giant golf ball" in a picture
+For Castmembers: pay attention to the guests that YOU put a smile on, not the ones that leave with a grimace. The number of smiles usually outnumber the frowns.
- Most importantly:
Be Respectful, Be Polite, Be Patient, and Be Happy. Don't forget that you are in Disney World.
