Think the worse thing I did in WDW was to park at the Poly just to catch the monorail to go see the spectromagic and the fireworks. Just told the guard we were going to eat in the restaurant...
i'm such a goodie goodie.... lol

Never busted but:
When I was 11, a friend spit on Madame Leota's face on HM. The ride got held up later while they cleaned up. It was a long way to spit. In the sixth grade, this was the stuff of legend. And hey, here I am still telling the tale.
And then there was the time when, as a teen once on Thunder Mountain, a friend stood on top of the head rests while going up hill, trying to grab a bat. Couldn't reach them. I was yelling at him to get down, and he eventually did, and didn't die. Idiot.

Interesting story. Although I dont approve of that, it's kinda neat. I mean, to spit all that way.kronk's angel wrote:Never busted but:

Jeez, people just gotta touch and leave their mark on everything!

Yes, for 11 year old boys, it just doesn't get better than that. I think that was the sentiment, along with being frightened but not wanting to show that he/we were. I was petrified of the ride before that moment. But after, it was all fun. A little humor goes a long way, I guess.Lion Sleeps Tonight wrote:Interesting story.

And he definitely left his mark. And, at least it could be cleaned off vs. grafitti.

1994. I was a senior in high school. I had a ticket to the park but showed up near the end of the fireworks. My friend I were there for a week and we used to sit on the Main St curb at closing time to catch a glimpse of all the girls walking out. Pretty cool, eh!
Anyways, we showed up a little later that night and were denied access. Well, just to the side of the entrance the fences were pretty low at the time. I think they were the portable fences. Can't remember exactly due to the excitement if the moment. My friend and I barely had to hop over them. We apparently were quick enough to blend into the mess of people who were already on their way out. To this day I can't believe I was A: Stupid B: Brave enough to perform such a stunt.
Oh well. I had a ticket and the babes were on the other side! 8)

Not sure if this would count or not (don't know if I would consider it less than moral), but:
Was at Universe of Energy, during the pre-show (do miss the Radok), when a guy comes up to me, more than a bit nervous, and says: "Are you in charge here?"
Didn't answer yes or no. Just said: "How can I be of assistance?"
The man tells me he went on UoE because he got separated from his family at the entrance of Test Track. How long is this ride? "Well, sir, between the pre-show, ride, and finale, Universe runs about 40 minutes."
He starts panicking, about how his family was about halfway in line at Test Track before his phone died. "Can I get off this ride?" (At this point, we were getting pushed forward by the crowd trying to get onto the solar-powered cars.)
"Not a problem." Got through the crowd, got him over to Test Track, showed him the single rider line so he might close the gap. Thought that was that. Turned out he and his family ended up on the same car (nice bit of serendipity). The fellow asked me my name so he could give his compliments to whoever was in charge. Told him I was Agosaol. Then they bolted before I could tell them... well, I'm not really employed by Disney.
I later asked Dad (met him afterward in town) why he thought I was personnel. "Well, son, not many people go to Disney World in a dress shirt, slacks, and a tie. You probably stuck out like a sore thumb among the tourist gear."
Hey, I don't have the patience to change from my office clothes before leaving at noon. Means less time at the parks. Thank goodness it's not as severe to impersonate a cast member than it is the police.

Food
We pack in most of our own food. We get some funny looks from security when they see our sandwiches, Pringle cans, etc. We have only had one person give us a really bad time. We promised to put it in a locker (lie, sorry). We are also always eatting in line and get some dirty looks from other guests.

Re: Food
When in Cali, we get some nuts & snacks from Trader Joes. When you're munching macadamias, people aren't looking dirty, they're envious!soccermouse wrote:We pack in most of our own food.

I get that at almost every store I have ever shopped at, while in my normal street clothes. I have even gotten that at Best Buy when I was helping my friend get a new stereo, I wasn't even wearing blue except my jeans.csquare77 wrote:Thats funny, Thats happend to me, not at Disney, but after I tell the person, I say to myself, Gee do I look like an employee?
