in honor of Star Tours’s 25th anniversary, I shall now share my favorite Star Tours story.

It’s a classic.

So the gate agent was checking the cabin and whatnot, “pull on the yellow strap,” all that jazz, and a lady had her backpack on, and the gate agent was like “ma’am, your bag has to go under your seat.”

And the woman looked confused and horrified, and said “baby go under seat?”

And lo and behold, she take the backpack off and turns it around…

AND THERE IS A BABY.

Baby did not go under seat. Baby and mother were hastily escorted out for a rider swap.

But now it is a custom amongst us spaceport agents to yell “baby under seat?” at each other. It’s like our traditional greeting. To which the proper reply is “Ehhh, together, family!”

Happy 25th, Star Tours!! I have loved my past year and a half being part of the spaceport and I am so proud to be part of the Star Wars legacy. Here’s to 25 more years of launching into hyperspace! #flight1401 #88789 #howdowegetbacktoourstartoursterminal #startours #starwars (at Star Tours: The Adventures Continue)

A new kind of weird at Star Tours

A party of six stopped me from loading because they had to examine every pair of flight glasses, and when they finally made their choices THEY PULLED OUT HAND SANITIZER AND CLEANED THE LENSES.

I was like “we do clean those, you know; they’re used once and then we run them through a giant dishwasher.”

They were like “oh…we didn’t think you cleaned them.”

I CANNOT ROLL MY EYES HARD ENOUGH.

“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. 😛

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.
