It was the last day of a trip and we were just hitting the MK for shopping and last minute favorite attractions (Country Bears had just re-opened that day), but on the drive to the park I got the first sign of a migraine. I told the fam to go on and that having taken my meds, I'd be ok at the TTC, just resting and drinking water in the shade on a bench. They went, Dad most reluctantly of all. But my meds didn't keep up with the migraine (and the TTC doesn't have first aid) so I hopped a ferry to the park with the intention of walking to first aid. Couldn't make it, I sometimes get tunnel vision with my migraines and this one had it which makes walking in a crowd rather difficult. Got to Town Hall Guest Relations and waited my turn for a cast member, but since one of my migraine symptoms is the inability to speak coherently, I had a very hard time making myself understood (which in turn was frustrating and made me cry as the pain kicked in) and was pretty quickly surrounded by concerned staff and EMTs (migraine presents an awful lot like stroke and someone was clearly trained to recognize strokes as the EMTs were there in less than 2 minutes). I was able to convince them I didn't need to go to a hospital (showed one of the EMTs my migraine prescription); so, they wheeled me swiftly to first aid where the staff immediately dimmed the lights as much as possible for me and put me in a bed in the far corner (quietest spot). Debi brought me cool towels and was fantastic.

Every CM I talked to (or more accurately mumbled incoherently at) was soooooo nice and concerned. I was embarrassed to be making a scene but grateful for the kindness. I imagine the other guests who witnessed it must have thought me a total drama queen. I want to tell them, that was nothing - they shoulda seen me on the flight home...changing clothes every 20 mins because I had gotten vomit on the last outfit.

Not my best day ever.

Give the guy a massive shot of Vitamin D, tell him it's hair-growth serum, give him a coupon for a free Mickey ice cream bar, and tell him thanks.

You didn't make a scene believe me. HERE is a scene.

So I was tasking in City Hall a couple days ago (aka there was no current position for me at park entry so to keep me from standing around they sent me to City Hall since I have a lot more experience than the newbies and I essentially was keeping an eye on them, to quote my coordinator). This guy comes in and starts RANTING to my coworker that his FREE haircut at Harmony was TERRIBLE and he wanted something done about it and he wanted a manager RIGHT THEN. His hair looked like a perfectly normal trim that I think any normal guy would be pleased with.

So this was us...

1. IT WAS A FREE HAIRCUT FOR GOD'S SAKE.

2. What did he expect the cosmetology/entertainment manager to do, glue his hair back on?!

3. It made me realise that people will complain about ANYTHING if they think they can get a freebie....

So yes, JenMuse... a migraine is no scene, my dear.

It was hilarious. They waited for over 20 minutes for the cosmetology manager to come back from the costuming building - a whole backstage bus ride away! - and I never heard the verdict. I'm hoping the guy went and was like "YOU CRAZY!!"

You'd also be amazed how many people lose their strollers and then holler "stolen" when a quick call to the area where it was left finds it.

The OCSCO pulling people over on Disney property is actually something I've started to notice happening over the past few years. I've seen them hiding enough times on Epcot Resorts Blvd, World Drive, and one or two other places. I can understand frustration, but ranting in city hall will not accomplish anything on that.
