^^ You do realize that they bring a TON of $$ to the area and it is because of them that WDW has the hours and the staffing that it does this time of year... right? It is important to be respectful and grateful for all of your customers no matter what industry you work in - but especially the hospitality industry.

I totally agree that they help out the company & bring in a lot of $$. I would just like someone to explain to them the rules more clearly about how to behave at parks, about line cutting, & be more respectful to Cast Members directing them for certain attractions like when loading them on a one wait for the Cast Member to tell them to board rather than have them all stampede to try to get on at once.

^I've already worked a college Cheerleader convention & had to deal with a bunch of drunk cheerleaders all night which was interesting I'm sure Grad Night will be worse.

^Thanks I like Florida so much better than NJ!

^^That really sucks especially since you were on vacation. Yeah they seem to be everywhere here. I might be going to BGA on Tuesday just to get away from the area for a day & hopefully from the groups. They are even at my Wal Mart when I go shopping! Another thing that really annoys me about the tour groups is the flags they carry. Every time I see one I just feel really Patriotic & want to wave a giant USA flag right back at them & play "Born In The USA" really loud.

Nice TR! I moved to Florida that week from New Jersey & the weather felt like I never left

^Finally someone besides the people I work with is agreeing with me about the Brazilian Tour Groups I told all of my friends from the North not to come visit Florida until the middle of February after they leave. The funny thing is some of my friends at work are from Brazil & they are even annoyed with the tour groups They just don't listen.

Thanks for reading. Here is a video of us on Sky Coaster:

Today one of my roommates & I decided to be sad & pathetic credit whores. We went to Old Town & Fun Spot USA in Kissimmee, Florida to get some credits. I needed the Wacky Worm in Old Town & the Kiddie Coaster in Fun Spot & he needed all 3. We both had work until 7:30 so we ended up getting there around 9:30. We also wanted to check out the Sky Coaster since I've always wanted to ride it & he never rode one before. When we first arrived we were shocked on how run down & creepy the place & the guests who visited looked. I didn't remember it being this ghetto when I visited it way back in 2001. So our plan was to ride the credits, ride the sky coaster, & leave as quickly as possible. Our first ride was the Wacky Worm. It was an embarrassing run as we were the only ones on the ride & everyone was staring at us. But being in TPR & stealing a kid on the West Coast trip to ride a kiddie I didn't care. It was my 293rd credit Next we rode Wind Storm. It was decent. I rode it back in the day so it was nothing new. Following Wind Storm we rode the Sky Coaster. It was awesome! I don't think it is worth the $35 but since I don't want to go to that creepy place again we said why not & gave it a go. The last thing we did was credit 294 the Kiddie Coaster at Fun Spot USA. Unlike the 2 laps on the Wacky Worm we had to endure this one was 7! At least nobody was around & I sat in the back & got a pop of airtime Well I only took a few pics with my phone because I didn't trust bringing my $500 cameras to this place. Enjoy:

Credit #294!

This was pretty cool.

Heading over to Fun Spot USA!

Wind Storm was ok.

First credit of the new year #293 the Wacky Worm!

Welcome to Ghetto Town! I mean Old Town!

Today I visited Sea World (& then after went to WDW Hollywood Studios & Magic Kingdom) & spent most of the day filming Manta! All I did there was ride Manta 2x & Kraken 1x. I spent a good hour & a half filming Manta. The ride was better than I remember it when I rode it back in October. I didn't stay at Sea World long because there was a bunch of Brazilian Tour groups there & I was starting to get annoyed so I went back to WDW. No pics of Sea World or Disney just yet but enjoy my Manta music video in HD!

Great report Matt.

Looking forward to your first 'at work' pictures

Thanks guys! Unfortunately we can't bring any kind of phone or camera to work or training so no 'at work' pics. I'm probably going to continue on my TRs of the year in this thread but not as complicated & as much as last year since I will be visiting parks so often. My videos for 2010 will be filmed like the Universal one & besides Universal (since Harry Potter isn't open yet) I'm only making one video per park. I won't be posting a PTR of every trip because as I stated above I'll be at Disney, Universal, & Sea World all year for the most part. I would like to make a Manta only music video separate from the Sea World video but I'll see how that goes in the future. The cool thing is one of my roommates is from TPR (jkwan) & I thought that was a coincidence because he sent me a pm on TPR about the CP! For the WDW video I am just going to throw all of the parks in one video since it is hard to make a Disney video & see how it goes. I don't no when I'll have another update just filling everyone in on how I am doing things this year. I finally get to go to the Disney parks now & don't no if I want to bother with taking pics just yet. Thanks for reading & "Have A Magical Day!"

Well for months I knew I was going to work at the WDW College Program as an Attractions Cast Member & before I knew it I was heading down I-95 South from South Jersey. My good friend from Clementon Park helped me get in the WDW CP so we are now roommates. We left NJ about 10:45 am on Sunday the 3rd. We drove almost 8 hours straight until just passed the boarded of North Carolina & rested in South Carolina. For Christmas I received an 2 park preferred annual pass to Universal & went there Monday, Tuesday, & today. All we really rode was Mummy 10x, Hulk 2x, Dueling Dragons Ice 2x, Fire 1x & Jurassic Park 1x. We rode Rockit 1x & that was my first coaster ride of the year. Wednesday the 6th we moved into our new apartment & it is AMAZING! Enjoy my pics. Most of it is of us traveling & a few pics of Universal. Also I am proud to bring you my first video in HD! Enjoy:

ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and added "Photo TR:" to the beginning of the thread's title. Other than that, welcome to Florida!
