Who is the grumpiest cast member you've ever met?
About 8 years ago, we were at Hollywood Studios and stopped by the DVC kiosk and agreed to tour VGF in exchange for a Disney gift card. After the tour and the sales pitch, there was free ice cream promised at the end of the presentation. The kids were in their own area, so after we finished we picked them up and took them to get their free ice cream.
There she was. The only cast member I've ever met at a Disney park/cruise/etc. who was doing her job and just looked miserable. Not smiling, not looking directly at anyone when giving them their ice cream, and not responding to the "thank yous" from the kids.
I know everyone has bad days, and maybe this was one for her. And she wouldn't have looked out of place at an ice cream store across the street. But it speaks to the great environment that the cast members create, when she stands out from the crowd as much as she did!
Anyone else have a similar experience? Do they still give you ice cream after your DVC sales pitch?
