“Why the Andy Samberg face, Caitlin?” you might ask. Because I thought I was working GMR and was not prepared for the spaceport. Also did not have coffee this morning. But a little boy gave me a nickel. He said it was a tip for a good flight. So there’s that. (at Star Tours: The Adventures Continue)

Reblogging to add that I got to chat with Jedi Kristoff tonight. SO ADORABLE. We had a weird handwritten rotation that made it look like another spaceport agent was going to go to “cats,” and we were like “oh, so he’s going to be in the musical,” and Jedi Kristoff was like “you should launch all your cabins talking like Daniel Tiger from Mr. Rogers” and I was like “or like cat-Yzma from Emperor’s New Groove!” and I quoted one of the lines and he was like “that was really good!” and long story short this is about how I started quoting Emperor’s New Groove with a Jedi Master who looks like Kristoff Bjorgman. Also, every time a guest walked by he would put on his Jedi face and be all like “safe travels, friends” and it was adorable. I hope he’s single because I want to marry him.

Also I was SO NOT prepared to work Star Tours today. Every time I walked into my cabin I had to make sure to not say my dock spiel.

I think I know which Jedi you’re talking about. Because there’s literally only one hot Jedi. Who I lovingly refer to as Hot Jedi. You may have a fight for him but as I’m leaving, I’ll concede.

Jedi Kristoff is new!!! Jedi McHeyyyyy is the original cute one. You can have him. 😛

Of course my vehicle has a low battery horn.

And of course the reset button is right next to the “don’t ever touch this” button.

We’re going to play a game, kids, it’s called “close your eyes and hope for the best.”

The maintenance override button? Because I totally accidentally pressed that one in once when looking for the low battery silence button. Lolz.

Oh my god I came so close to pressing it. Like I literally was like “LET’S JUST TRY THIS” and I ended up pressing the right one.

The other option was the pilot light test button, which I feel would be pretty awful to pick too.

(dramatic reenactment.)

oh my GOD a maintenance guy left his coffee cup in the Casablanca scene IT IS JUST SITTING THERE OH MY GOD

Update: we had to wait until we were closed to go get it. I closed ADB, so I never saw if anyone came. OH MY GOD WHAT IF IT IS STILL THERE TOMORROW.

WHAT NO YOU’RE KIDDING

THERE WAS A COFFEE CUP. IT WAS “HIDDEN” BEHIND THE TRUNKS BEHIND INGRID AND BOGEY.

I DIED. I’M STILL DEAD.

I kind of hope it’s still there tomorrow.

Erm.. “baby under seat” story? Do tell.

OKAY SO

This happened at Star Tours.

The gate agent was doing seatbelt checks. A lady had her backpack on. The agents asks her to take it off and put it under her seat.

The lady looks tremendously confused and says “baby under seat?”

She takes off the backpack and turns it around and LO AND BEHOLD there is a BABY in there. It was one of those backpack carrier things.

BUT THEN SHE STARTS TO PUT THE BABY UNDER THE SEAT.

The agent was like “NO NO BABY NO BABY UNDER SEAT” and got her out of there. I think she was still confused.

You went to a convention?? Was it Disney related?

SO OKAY HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED AT WORK LAST NIGHT.

The park closed at like 7:30 or so for normal guests. I go and park my ride vehicle, and then my coordinator is like “go to Streets of America and cheer for people on the red carpet.”

I was like “…okay.”

So I go down to Streets of America and spend the next half an hour clapping and cheering with a bunch of equally confused attractions cast members as nine buses full of people walk down the red carpet. In between buses we danced. Dances included the macarena, the pony, the hula, and some kind of 50s background singer shoop thing.

Turns out we were bought out by the biggest bank in Mexico. Okay, cool. Park buyouts happen periodically. But…they didn’t pay for any rides. None. THEY RENTED OUT A THEME PARK AND CHOSE NOT TO PAY FOR ANY RIDES. So literally they had a dance party on Streets of America for like two hours.

After approximately 904928 people had disembarked, we were sent to get ready for fireworks. We sent Serial Killer Mortimer (his name’s not really Mortimer, but we do call him Serial Killer *Name*, which is a story of its own) to get the keys to the illegal closet. He vanished. He was later found pooping. But we got the keys, we got the ropes and stanchions out of the illegal closet…and something bit me. Like literally there was some kind of insect hiding in the ropes that bit my finger and made it swell up like whoa. It wasn’t pleasant. I was sent inside to put ice and hydrocortisone on it.

Eventually I came back out to do fireworks crowd control, which basically meant I stood behind the rope making sure no one crossed into the fallout zone. But my hand was still ballooning, so I ended up doing the awkward princess elbow rest instead (again, another story). By then people were beginning to meander from Streets of America to the hat. So they started playing music, and I was like “cool, preshow entertainment.”

NO NOT COOL THEY LITERALLY PLAYED “WALK THIS WAY” BY AEROSMITH ON A CONSTANT LOOP FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. IT NEVER ENDED.

And then finally they did fireworks, which were very nice and set to a medley of Disney music. And then the president (?) of the bank came up and spoke in Spanish for literally twenty minutes and the crowd kept cheering and we were all like “…we are not properly equipped to understand what’s happening.”

And once he was done the entire crowd vanished in literally three minutes. But they turned “Walk This Way” back on for eight more minutes.

That was my crazy night at work last night.

Also my finger still hurts.
