Occasional guest, annual passholder or Cast member, It does not matter. It is up to each of us to value the magic. It matters not your roll in the show. If it is your dream, follow it. It is a great place in which to be involved. Consider this: somewhere there are some kids that won't be able to sleep tonight because they are going to Disneyland tomorrow, and you could be a part of making that magic happen. - BalooTBear904.4 #97 1-24-13 9:07PMLike(26) Reply

Ah! I love this! - MrsSchnooks 574.1 #191 1-24-13 9:10PM
At first it can be a little overwhelming. Personally, it took me a few weeks to realize that I was working at what had and always be a special place. But there are still many ways to discover the magic again. If you just simply watch a character meet and greet and see kids and big kids (aka adults) and see how everyone smiles and are happy to see that character. Now, when visiting the parks, its even more fun to see the parks in a different way. And with the backstage drama, just block it out and don't get involved. If you're a positive person around your peers, others will follow. Instead, just focus on your job, which is to create happiness :) - BaseballMickey_CM2854.1 #16 1-24-13 9:57PMLike(7) Reply
And listen to this guy, too! Well said! - IDVandalSkipperCM 1296.5 #63 1-25-13 9:55AM
Great advice! I'm naturally a positive person so that would help with the magic! Thanks for the advice =) - kayceeb 111.3 #2884 1-25-13 10:22PM
It really is what you make it. Sure, sometimes things (such as drama) can happen, but as long as you can always look past them and remember that you, as a CM, are a big part of creating the magic, then you will always enjoy and love not only your job, but Disneyland. Creating that magic can be truly priceless. Like CMBaloo said, somewhere there can be someone who can't sleep because tomorrow they are going to Disneyland, and you could be part of making that magic happen. I hope these comments have been able to help. :) - dlmickeymouseCM2350.4 #27 1-25-13 10:48PMLike Reply

The crocodile was never part of the ship, and the sailing ship Columbia lost power midway and had to be towed out by the black maintenance craft. And so the show went downhill from there.. but the show must go on! - DonaldMissingPants296.2 #632 8-4-12 11:34PMLike(2) Reply

I hear nothing. I have tunnel vision and block out all noise as I prepare myself for the awesomeness that is Disneyland. Maybe that is why it takes the CM yelling at me to get my attention and let me know that I handed her not my AP but a Starbucks gift card with $0.68 on it instead. - Ferncantfight9.1 #7068 6-16-12 7:01AMLike(2) Reply

yes all gates (A,B,C and D) have a rebel spy chosen. it's either at random or the cm that organized everyone getting on picks the rebel spy. I have witnessed a guest being picked. she was a single rider and was chatting with the cm and I had said watch she will be the spy and I was correct. so trying to sit in a particular seat or not moving and such doesn't really increase your chances of becoming one. be patient and your time will come :) - SammyJo348.7 #415 3-29-12 11:34PMLike(2) Reply

Thanks everyone! I'll have to see what happens when I go on it again. I was so jealous because everyone posts pictures of the rebel spy and I didn't see it on my one experience on the new Star Tours so I thought I was missing out on something or that maybe it is only in a certain vehicle. I rode is vehicle C and it seemed that everyone wanted to ride vehicle D when we were being placed into the stand by areas so I thought maybe it was only on vehicle D!
