What is your perception vs reality of being a CM
smf replied to Lou...'s topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
Don't feel like a schmuck. I'm supposed to call Fiends that, and then they can feel like a schmuckface. Many, many, people have expressed the same sentiments you have about the change in the drivers. Before transferring a few months ago to "Park Events Ops" as a Convention Guide, I was a bus driver for six years. While having an engineering consulting business, I would take six months off every four or five years and be a CM for about six months. My first time as a CM was eighteen years ago last month and I've been rehired a half a dozen times or so. I've been a Front Desk CM at two re -
I'm ecstatic finally sensible signs
smf replied to Grumpy and Grandma's topic in Disney and Fort Construction
I'm sad about the new signage going up. It takes away from the rustic look of the campground. Unfortunately, stupids go camping too. If they can't read, maybe the picture will help -
Turkey Legs: A Fort Fiend's Poll

Big disappointment for me, they smell much better than the bland, dry taste it has. -

What is your perception vs reality of being a CM
smf replied to Lou...'s topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
Well when you put it that way, I feel like a schmuck for suggesting it....it's just something that stuck out for me when I was a kid. Even so, maybe the greetings coming and going could be a bit more outgoing. I'd still want to be a CM someday... Whatbis your background Lou? You have some obvious grand experience but since I'm new here, I'd love to here all the jobs you have/had at Disney. -

smf replied to Lou...'s topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I would love to be a CM but it will have to wait until working for a paycheck is not such a necessity. The pay versus gas is not feasible. I already know what I want, I want to be a bus driver when I grow up. I remember being a child and loading on a bus, the drivers were so friendly. Before the automated systems, they would talk to you on the microphones, joke, laugh, answer questions. Now when you ride the bus alot of times it seems that unless you say a greeting first, it doesn't happen. For many people the bus ride is their first Disney experience and it should be an introduction -
How was the race??

My bad Lou! I see them now....great job! I can see that in what is going to be my Disney nook in my entrance way

Great Matt! They are good about free upgrades. We will stay at full hookups but we have been partial to the 900 loop on the outside because of the 4 - legged Fiends. Good luck on your race! I did the 3k Tower of Terror the last year they did it for a 3k and I had a blast!

Thank you! AAAAND....my inability to think for myself continues. DD would REALLY like me to add the 7D Mine Train game style dwarfs, but they are very different from the orginal dwarfs. SO, do I still with only original style characters or throw caution to the wind and add the new fangled dwarfs? My original vision only had the very standard disney characters in the plan (mickey, minnie, donald, goofy, pluto and possibly daisy duck) but I added tigger because the graphic has him playing the violin which DD loves. First world problems, I know. This whole project is getting out of cont

We upgraded our AP so I'm thinking about visiting a water park tomorrow with my son, weather permitting, and have never been. How does it work? Do you have to wear water shoes or is there a place to put your shoes by the ride? And towels? We can keep those nearby too? I assume there will be lockers? Thanks for answering my stupid questions and anything else you can add oh and which water park is better?

Thanks for the info!

What a great job!

We're you able to book that entire time in advance? I was once told you could only book so many weeks at a time and then had to rebook once you got there...which makes no sense to me. Are there extended stay discounts? The most I've stayed was 10 days during the summer.

Save me from a bad mama moment!
smf replied to cindymac11's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
We always get the buffet so the only decision is to have the buffet walking out comfortable or have the buffet walking out with much difficulty and a much needed nappy. Not sure what the server was offering then but she did offer something else besides the buffet. Whatever she did the manager asked me to recognize her officially on the survey card thingy. -

smf replied to cindymac11's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
That was according to our server. I've never eaten off the menu, maybe she was referring to the take out menu? I'm not sure if waffles are available off the buffet. Guess I don't know much, just what she said lol -
Disney updates Theme Park Rules
smf replied to BradyBzLyn...Mo's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I've always joked that when I retire I'm going to become a Disney Etiquette Specialist. Especially for those parties of 4 or more who just have to walk side by side, and as said before all decide to stop in the middle of the road- 61 replies
