Happy Birthday Eliz!!
I just spent 35 min on the phone with a WONDERFUL CM... I am not sure of her name (they give fake ones anyway) but she was great! I booked the Wonderland Tea Party and the Grand Fl Cafe all within a matter of minutes and then we started talking about families and the storm. I'm sure she'll never read this thread and I don't want to post elsewhere but in case you do ---- I will thnk of you and your family - you are all in my thoughts and prayers!!

I didn't know they had fake names. That is interesting. Do they consider it a security risk to give their real names or do they just want to make sure there is only one with each name so they can figure out complaints, compliments, etc.?

No, just so if a guest wants to note back to a particular CM, they all have different names, no repeats. If you get a CM with a single name, they will have been there longer. Those with two names are newer, but not nessecarily new.

Don't get frustrated! I think we are all pretty good learners, aside from Macs and cameras! And crafts for Becka!

It is great to have you back Caroline!!!

 

[lillygator]

now debating how to fit everything in. John wants to eat at CM...which I have for the 8th as I assumed that would be the party night we attended. With the AP discount we opted for the 7th. I would rather luau, Ohana or KC on the 8th...

Go Diego GO is on...kinda annoying...

 

[pyramid2000]

Awww shucks Becka.

My Dds are watching Cheetah Girls 2 for the 3rd or 4th time since Friday!

 

[lbgraves]

OK so the new hires can be given the names anna bob, billy bob, caleb bob, dylan bob....

 

[lillygator]

Wild fact ---- I was on the phone with a CM making changes to DD's bday plans and we got disconnected....I immediately called back and I got her again! We were both so shocked we could speak of nothing more for about 3 minutes.

I keep checking in with work about the storm. Being a community hospital, we go into lockdown, provide shelter for certain "teams", have to evacuate certain patients, etc. Luckily since we are a communtiy hospital the state/county provides excellent up to date info for us. As of 2pm today the track is headed for us/Tampa.

Oh and I made a mistake. It is the origional Cheetah Girls on now.

 

[lillygator]

You would be stunned at the CM's names I have had....now Lisa you know me and my obsessive behavior to call daily...I get the best names!!

They would rival any strip joint!! (not that I would know!!)

 

[lbgraves]

Roflmao!!!!!!

 

[becka]

Lisa!!!

DS is watching a WDW Sing-a-long Songs video we got years ago before his first trip to get him used to the idea of the characters being big, etc.. Some of the kids in the video really annoy me....is that mean of me?

DD is still napping but she could wake up anytime now.

 

[Jhalkias]

Yup, knew I could count on you!
