New to the forums, decided to see if I could answer peoples questions, im currently employed as a Attractions Attendant over at Seuss Landing at If I ran the zoo, The Caro-Seuss-el, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. I will not disclose my name for privacy purposes but ill be looking out for all of you!

Disclaimer: This post is strictly for laughs, sometimes we do feel like this but thats because its a general crappy day for us, most of the time we have fun!

5:00 am: I wake up and shower, get in the car and drive to work, picking up breakfast at McDonalds from the cheery Crew there who woke up at 3 am most likely!
6:30 am: I get to work, go through gate 2(employee gate) and head on in to wardrobe, I slowly stroll to my locker slot, hoping for a set of my clothes, as usual their not there so I march towards the clothes counter and request my clothes (btw they wont have my size, so ill have to go down one size and try to squeeze into teeny weeny pants)
7:30 am: I clock in! after making the 15 minute journey from wardrobe to IOA I make it into seuss landing and into the Cat in the Hat/Fish Break room. I grab my squeegee, as my fellow opening fish attendants grab their assigned cleaning tools and off we go to prepare our rides for you!
8:15 am: after cleaning for 30 minutes and sitting down for a few, we are all dispatched out to our assigned positions, as were walking out we spot rain clouds in the sky, hopefully it will rain and slow down the park a bit, but it won't, the clouds will slowly stroll by and head on over to Disney and Rain its little heart out.
8:20 am: we are all at our positions, but the park wont early open till at the earliest, 8:30 and even then! everybody makes a left on over to Marvel to ride hulk and spiderman, and Seuss Landing is left alone...on the right..watching everybody go to the left (this makes us sad, and oh btw were BOREDDDDDD I swear I ended up taking pictures of Ducks walking by with my cellphone while waiting for people.)
9:30 am: Finally! people are heading this way, but the first 15-20 people will fly right on through seuss and head straight to dueling dragons, but eventually we'll get a family or two with children to ride, our first guests of the day!
9:31 am: Because of circumstances out of my control a child has decided to jump off a character at the caro-seuss-el and requires me to Emergency stop the ride, so we'll be down for about 6-7 minutes while we wait for the Tech's to head on over and reset the ride.
10:00 am: Finally my first break! but not before I got asked 10-20 questions on the way to the break room, not that I hate answering questions, anything to stop ignorance or being a burden for someone else. Finally make it to the break room.




WILL CONTINUE LATER! off to bed!
 
Keep going. I'm finding this interesting. :thumbsup2
 
I don't know why it never occurred to me that you'd go to wardrobe every morning. For some reason I had images in my head of employees already in uniform darting through the parking lot on their way into work.

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.
 

yes me too ........got to say though my kids love it when they can have their photos taken with you guys !!

We promise to head to Seuss Landing before anything else one morning! Keep it coming!
 
if you read my trip report - this past trip we bucked the system and headed right to seuss instead of left to marvel :thumbsup2 I got you covered!!!
 
We always do Seuss landing and then go to Spiderman and then when leaving we come back to seuss landing :woohoo: :woohoo:
 
Thanks for sharing. I find your report AWESOME !!
We are heading to US/IOA for our 1st trip in December, and my
DD5 is a HUGE Seuss fan..... I can't wait !!

I would visit y'all more often but I'm embarrassed to skip kids in the line with Express. :confused3

*Some* TMs do do that.

As for you, Srantin, I know the feeling. I've worked Cat/Fish/Caro before.
 
we are spending over $300 to go to univeral for one day of our disney vacation (with tickets, transport etc.) when it would be free at disney since we have 7 days of tickets and 7 days at disney.
and part of the reason is because we love the dr suess area so much! We were at Islands of adventure last year with make a wish - and we didn't go beyone dr suess and marvek - since my husband was very into marvel growing up. This year we hope to venture beyond the two areas a little bit - but we'll be in the dr suess area for a good long while.

Oh and I just want to say - sionce it was her make a wish trip she had the pink badge - and a medical pass to avoid lines - and people at Universal were sooooooooo nice to us - I think we saw more "universal magic" than we did "disney magic"
here are some pictures of my daughter and my niece enjoying the dr suess area last year :

I've enjoyed reading your report. It's nice to get information/views from the other side. Looking forward to reading more.
 
Great to hear your family had such a good experience Kristen! Thanks for the pictures - the suess outfits are too cute!
 
Hi:
We'll be there to see you bright and early the last week of April. We WILL be doing Seuss Landing first with our young ones. Since I won't be able to spot you I can guarantee you'll be able to spot me. I'll be the handicap mom in the bright scooter with the embroidered Cat In The Hat shirt that says "Mom to three things". My boys will have embroidered shirts that say Thing 1 and Thing 2 and my daughter will be in a dress that says Thing 3 with thing/cat in the hat fabric skirt.

We're the geeky family (you laugh at) that dresses alike in custom clothes in the park! You'll just love us! Ha. Ha. Even my husband will be in a matching Cat in the Hat shirt.

See you then!
 
So interesting...can't wait to read more.

We are coming mid April for our very 1st trip to Orlando. And as I keep saying...I am sooo excited!!!

:dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:
 
Come back! I was into this....where did you go????
