It's crazy at the Fort

[liv luvs disney]

Me too! Do you think that Lorna has room for us? All I need is a corner...

Of course she does. You saw her rig!

 

[Lil' Lisa]

Now you've done it, I'm going to be in trouble with Larry. And I've never even met him.

Don't worry Lou... I'll protect you! You are my favorite bus driver after all! Hey, speaking of bus driving... Did you take everyone for a ride this weekend?

 

[Lil' Lisa]

Of course she does. You saw her rig!

Do you think that Bruce will understand?

 

[3gr8kids]

Good thing Lorna got those candles out before somebody Ohhhh-HANA'd. That could have been dangerous.

She didn't! Magicbus lost his eyebrows!

BTW, for all of you who saw the 8 black Suburbans and Escalades on Saturday night that was me being taken from the Settlement to my site. Seems they had some type of security scare that I was in danger. I wasn't even in the co. of a married woman lol.

Dale un descanso, ¿verdad?

Que?

I was loopy yesterday. Does that count?

Sadly, it's as close as I got to this year's shenanigans

It's always pretty easy to figure out how to do everyone else's job, I suppose.

Now that's funny.

Now you've done it, I'm going to be in trouble with Larry. And I've never even met him.

Welcome to my cupcake world

 

[stacktester]

Can you even afford a cupcake, cupcake?

One place you didn't want to be was near Lorna's cake. I've seen fires started by accelerants that weren't that bad.

I'm surprised the Smoke Alarm didn't go off in the MH while they were lighting the candles.

I have to agree with Magicbus on this one. It isn't their job to report things to security. Their job is to do the maintenance/custodial work that they were hired to do. It has nothing to do with it being a burden. Even though it seems simple enough to do on the surface, I think that you need to give this the proper thought that it deserves, Larry. The maintenance/custodial workers are are not trained as security workers and so having the them take on these additional duties could be a danger to themselves and also to others. If Disney needs more security, then the proper remedy is to hire more security guards.

Fair enough and you I just have to agree to disagree on what should do whaT. I do agree that there needs to be more security in the CG which I have seen in the past, but seems lacking the last several years we have been here.

I agree with Lisa. maintenance personal would be asking for trouble if they got involved in trying to keep the peace. They wouldn't garner the respect security personal receive.

You are missing my point in that the maintenance folks are not doing security, but simply advising security of issues they should check on,

I'll say it in plain English this time....give it a rest, will you?

Being retired from the military you, of all people, should understand the chain of command. If the loop attendant job included calling in questionable actions to security every time they witnessed such activity, they would be distracted from their main job. While being a loop attendant looks like such a la-dee-dah, easy job, it isn't. I personally know two attendants - Pat & Carlos. I've known them for years. They do exactly what they are supposed to do and they make it look easy. These attendants work in all kinds of weather conditions, cleaning up other people's messes, dealing with trash I would never consider touching (even with 5 sets of gloves), making sure engineering and landscaping is aware of problems, offering help to those who appear to be having trouble, and lots of things you are not aware of. The one statement someone posted that made sense was, if more security is needed at the Fort, they should get more security personnel. Not pile the work on to people who are already overburdened.

Oh - and just for your information - the walkies used by the loop attendants are to be used to communicate with their supervisors, landscaping, and engineering. In an emergency they can call in an Alpha Unit (aka ambulance). They are not to be used so they can be the gestapo and tie up the channel reporting nonsense - unless the nonsense is dangerous. Under no circumstance are the loop attendants to confront guest other than to engage in friendly chatter, answer questions, or offer assistance when a guest appears to be having problems.

So, I'll say it again....give it a rest. If you want your opinion to make a difference, talk to Jeff at the front desk or write a letter to Mr. Iger. Until you've worked a job, don't presume you know what would be "easy" for a worker to do.

I was thinking the same thing Debbie. The girl who does the 1700 loop busts her butt everyday and still has a smile for you when you come by. I don't think they have time either.

Did someone say Cupcake?

 

[BRDof3]

I'll go with the comedian Gallager on this one. Everyone should be issued a toy gun on check-in, that shoots suction cup darts. They'll have a flag on them that says "Stupid." Every time you see someone operating a golf cart, vehicle, or bike stupidly you just shoot one of the darts and stick it to them. When security sees someone with a bunch of "Stupid" darts stuck to them or their cart they can confiscate the cart and make them walk for the rest of their stay.

Problem solved.

 

[LORNADUCK]

It was crazy fun in the 1600 loop last night. Such frivolity and Tom Foolery!! Oh, and I understand that shortly after I left there was a bonfire???

No there was not bonfire!!!! Just a lotttttttt of candles, but I blew them all out in 2 breaths.

 

[LORNADUCK]

It was also nice to meet so many FrIENDS for the first time.

So glad we got to meet you also.

 

[LORNADUCK]

Me too! Do you think that Lorna has room for us? All I need is a corner...

you can come and stay with us anytime, no problem like Donnie says I invite the whole campground. Just remind me to tell my Son he has to sleep someplace else.
