Robert6401 7 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have never seen this guy before, the older gentleman on a golfcart with a "Fort Ranger" sign. What exactly is his job? It looks self-proclaimed more than an actual Disney job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 "Supposedly" they are there to enforce the golf cart, and site rules around the Fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 When we were there in Oct/Nov he was mostly just directing traffic in front of the entrance to the Settlement Area most nights.We never actually saw him "on patrol" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Was this his cart?As cool as that is, the rangers I saw were more like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert6401 7 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 No offense to the "Ranger," but he looked a bit past his prime to be enforcing anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tigger 33 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 No offense to the "Ranger," but he looked a bit past his prime to be enforcing anything.You dont remember what they say about Old people do ya?"Never mess with an old person cause they will just kill ya since they ain't got much to loose anyway"And apparently you never watch Worlds Dumbest when the old people kick A$$ on them smart A$$ kids.

AuburnJen 771 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 There are several of the rangers on duty now because of people who can't follow rules. It is unfortunate really. However, a lot of information can be gathered from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MetalDad 33 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 We were busted in December with an improper fire-pit from an "experienced" gentleman with a flashing-light golf cart, had to invest in a Fort-friendly portable fireplace. I now have like 6 instruments in which to make a campfire...could be worse! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 No offense to the "Ranger," but he looked a bit past his prime to be enforcing anything.I'm going to whack you with my walker when I see you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks self-proclaimed more than an actual Disney job. You should ask Bill, he luvs :heart: :heart: :heart: him some Ranger(s). The younger the better for him... :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 No offense to the "Ranger," but he looked a bit past his prime to be enforcing anything. That reminds me of the greeters at Wal-Mart when the security tags go off. I keep walking, I know I'm legit. Tony always ask if I am going to stop, and I say no, they can chase me down, but I wager they won't or can't. Not my problem they didn't take care of the tag when I paid.

AndrewsFortLovers 2 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think that all the rangers are an asset to the fort and actually make it a better place. Traffic control is definitely needed at times as the fort continues to increase its cart traffic. Thanks Disney for making the experience even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Agree that traffic control near the Settlement entrance is definitely helpful. It's crazy there with cars, buses, carts, bikes and pedestrians all converging and no one seeming to know who has the right of way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm going to whack you with my walker when I see you.that's a fairy tag waiting to happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 As long as the Rangers are friendly and enforcing the rules uniformly they are just doing their job. Some one has to do it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think the impact of Bill posting what he really thinks of the Rangers would never live up to what most of us think he would post.I guess he wouldn't be able to exceed our expectations. Does that make any sense? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Not much is making sense to me right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert6401 7 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I had no idea this was such a hot topic, lol. I guess I can see their purpose, but I didn't see them doing anything other than cruising during my trip. They remind me of more of a neighborhood watch than anything.
