actual conversation at work today

Guy: “We had fastpasses for Kali River Rapids, and it broke down, and they said we could use our fastpasses for any other attraction, so…”
Me: “…”
Guy: “…”
Me: “Yeah, that’s out of my jurisdiction…that’s a completely different park…”
Guy: “LET ME JUST SCAN MY FASTPASS THOUGH.”
*He does. I silently show him the iPad that says “no selections made”
Guy: “Huh. Okay.”

“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.

Sometimes I cry because I miss teaching and I miss directing and I miss my students so much. They were my kids and I love them and I wish I could have stayed. I wish I could have directed more shows with them. I wish there could have been more Disney dances and inside jokes and crazy rehearsals that ended with me lying on the floor laughing like the mature adult I am.

I miss my babies.
