Facts 3781-3810

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it! 

Just 3 months until I go to Disney World!!!!

And college has been going GREAT so far!

There's a few Employee Stories, and a whole whack-load of new Phineas & Ferb facts came out, so I have quite a few of those to share with you as well!

Fact #3781 (Employee Story) 
My sister used to work at the Bippity Boppity Boutique. Tom Cruise brought his daughter there like the day after he and Katie Holmes got divorced. It was totally a sorry-your-parents-are-getting-divorced trip to Disney World. The thing is though that since he's a mega-celebrity, he obviously can't be hanging around in public, especially a small area like that store. So they ushered him, the daughter, and my sister into a closet and she did the makeover in there.

Fact #3782 (Employee Story) 
I'm seasonal at Epcot after doing the Disney College program. I work in 5 different stores in the South/East Future World. One night, I was working at Club Cool and I'm just watching the guests, making sure no one is doing anything stupid. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a Brazilian guy (go figure) pull down his daughter pants and let her pee on our floor. Thank goodness our floor is already disgusting due to people spilling the free soda we have there.

Fact #3783 (Employee Story) 
I worked at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street. On Christmas day Magic Kingdom was PACKED, obviously. The fireworks were about to start and our shop was pretty much empty because everyone was more interested in getting a spot for the fireworks and all. A couple groups are milling about, pretending to be looking at the menu or discussing what to buy; not because they were actually going to buy things, but because they were looking for a less crowded spot to hang around in. We kind of turned a blind eye to it because, whatever, they're not bothering anyone right now, not blocking anything, etc. I was on register chatting with some of my coworkers when in storms this man in a rage. He starts screaming at all us, demanding to see our manager RIGHT NOW. We all stop and stare, having no idea what's going on or what's happening-- most of us had just clocked in about an hour ago, so anyone who might have been in earlier and known what this man wanted has left for the night, since we all assumed he was an earlier customer come to flip out on something someone id earlier. Turns out, not the case. He starts screaming at us that it's too crowded, he can't see the castle very well, he doesn't have a good spot for the fireworks, etc. etc. Just really letting it go at us. He ends his rant with, "ME AND MY FAMILY ARE RELIGIOUS AND THIS IS UNFAIR." He then turns around and storms right back out, leaving a totally silent, stunned ice cream parlor in his wake. None of us knew what to do and then the "what the f*** was that?" chatter broke out. I'm still not sure what he expected the manager of an ice cream parlor to do about his situation.

Fact #3784 (Disney Guest Story) 
Today I tried to get a lunch reservation for the very-sold-out Be Our Guest restaurant for our October trip. It was sold out the whole week, but as we were talking, a slot opened up at just the right time on just the right day! And then, right before the cast member was going to take my credit card number for the reservation, my phone dropped the call.
