I'm pointing with 2 fingers now...

[LeahZ]

I work at a hospital 2 nights a week and I've noticed lately that when I'm showing people where to sign their paperwork - I'm pointing with 2 fingers! I've never worked for Disney - what's happening to me??

Did you drink the water while you were here? You are now under Disney's control.

The water? I thought they put the mind control substance in the Dole Whips and Mickey Bars!

Whenever I am pointing people places, I point with two fingers as well. I used to only point with one, but then I found out it was the Disney way to point with two, so I decided I had better start my training early.

Leah,
You have been subliminally hypnotized into a Mouseketeer.

Its a disease, soon you will wave like a princess and start calling co-workers, cast members.

No, that's just you, Don.

No, that's just you, Don.

Did you just call Puck a princess?

After taking the Traditions class at WDW you are never the same. They drill this into you. I always point with two fingers now even at other parks when helping out guest.

elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, pearls (aka: the princess wave!!)

I think I tend to point with a wave of my whole hand, using a twist of the wrist. It must be because I know the one finger point is "not nice". I will see if I can natuarally do the two finger point.

Actually, I usually try to walk the person over, instead of pointing. That is really giving the best customer service.

One finger is rude in many other cultures, and three fingers looks too much like an equally-offensive-to-some-cultures hand chop.

I "point with two" in directing tourists in NYC all day. I keep waiting for someone to ask if I learned it at Disney.

 

[Merry Mousketeer]

It has been many, many, many years since I've worked for Disney and I still use the two-fingered point. I've had strangers walk up to me outside the parks and ask if I've ever worked at Disney because they recognize the point!

I've never worked for Disney, although that is my dream job and I point with two fingers as well.
