    I work as a 911 operator, and the BEST thing to do if you accidentally call 911 is to call back and say "hey my phone just accidentally called 911 but there is no emergency!". I don't even work for a large city and we get probably 100+ 911 accidental calls. I can only imagine how much their call centers get. You won't be in trouble and in fact it's saves the operator from having to treat each and every call like a legitimate emergency. Also DO NOT IMMEDIATELY hang up l, you you see your phone is dialing then we've already seen it. 911 IMMEDIATELY gets send to us so even if you think you hung up fast enough, you didn't!!! Just please stay on the line and let us know. Again there is no penalty and it's not considered 911 abuse to accidentally call. We just want to make sure you're safe and save our resources for actual emergencies! (Lol end my soap box rant, I'm just trying to look out for my Florida peeps haha)

      My kids accidently called 911 when they were little and hung up as they were afraid and didn't tellus. Minutes later, the police arrived to make sure everything was good. It happens unfortunately

      ​@@lou4057 When I was a kid, my little brother asked for his friends phone number (which he thought I knew), but to mess with him, I told him slowly to type "9.... 1........ 1." Took him like 3 seconds to realize it before hanging up. 🤣 Of course, a few minutes later, cops came and had to search the house.

    I was prone to headaches after Rock N Rollercoaster too. I found a trick that helps me...as soon you get seated and the restraint check is finished, push your feet into the floor with as much pressure as you can and push your head as hard as you can into the back of the seat. This helps keep your head from knocking all over the place. If you try this method after the launch though, it is too late, you have to do it before the launch.

    I can personally vouch for photopass cast members- and not just because they take phostos with my instant camera! During my first Animal Kingdom trip, when I started to panic because I got separated from my group(Autism + severe anxiety), I asked for help. WHile the DVC person I asked didn't do much beyond offer to call my friend, the photopass person went above and beyond. Brought me to a curb behind a drink cart where I could sit down(The drink cart CM even gave me a tiny water bottle to drink for free!) and since my friend had my phone and I didn't know their number off the top of my head, they called *my* phone instead a few times to contact my friend who was holding onto it while I was on a ride, while the drink cart CM talked to me and tried to calm me down through conversation in between customers. They truly went above and beyond and I'm so upset my memory for names is so awful because they both deserved praise.

  • @lcflngn
    @lcflngn Před 8 měsíci +7

    Been in several circumstances in which “emergencies” happened and cast members (whom we love!) were not clear or were simply unprepared. One was an earthquake in DL (just before fireworks) and while the CMs were on it, they were not super helpful directing folks out. The other was a recent Indie breakdown (DL) which stuck us in a boring corner for a half hour, but when a CM ran through I had no idea what he was saying. Was once evacuated from BTM (DL) and v confused in the rain, slippery steps, and being in charge of 3 kids. Still, on all of those we landed safely in the end.
    Point is, anything weird can happen, take charge of yourself, listen to directions as much as possible, and be very very very patient. We’re all in it together at that point. Loved all my fellow guests in each case so enormously.

    I can vouch for the joys of blisters. Last trip I got several on my right foot for day one and got some on the other foot on day two. And that was with shoes that had been broken in for 6 months before the trip. It made walking in the parks a real treat. I'm more prepared for our trip coming up in February.

    We were once evacuated from Pirates of the Caribbean (Disneyland CA) and it was awesome. Seriously!

    Many listed Good Neighbor hotels (such as Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista) no longer have the GN benefits. July of 2022, I stayed there because it was supposed to have the GN perks, but according to the Cast members checking you in, Rosen Inn LBV is NOT on the list (despite the continued advertising). That may have changed since I last stayed there, but make sure you find out beforehand.

  • @OnAHeroicMission
    @OnAHeroicMission Před 4 měsíci +2

    I think Genie+ ruined the crowd control at the parks. Before Genie+, most guests staying at hotels had the ability to book fastpass, which meant at all times of the day, multiple families would be in fastpass lines. People don’t buy and book Genie+ the same way you could with Fastpass, so more people are just out and about in the parks- giving the illusion that during the "FastPass era" it was less crowded. Sure, it puts more money into Disney's pockets but it makes the overall park experience so much worse for guests.

    This past Friday I went to Hollywood studios and tried rope dropping rise of the resistance. Since we had early theme park entry wait times weren’t shown so we couldn’t see what rides were down so we ended up running all the way there just to see that it was closed. They should really show what rides are down in the early morning on the app. Side note rock n rollercoaster was down 3 times through out the day and we kept getting lightning lanes, and lingering around the area. It even momentarily stopped right before we rode. Pretty concerning considering it was recently refurbished. Despite that it was one of our smoothest days at the parks 😅

      Basically, safety protocol at Disney would be extremely high. Anything that could possibly threaten with a possibility of threatening safety will be shut down. Mechanical stuff has to be done with machines, that is a given -- but can you imagine the quality of mechanics (imagimechanics? Imagichanics?) they have at Disney? If you were a mechanic or working towards engineering and wanted some experience, wouldn't you want to do that? Imagine what that would be like for a moment, being an oncall mechanic in the parks. You get the call, you get over there asap through magic tunnels, and start diagnosing the snags. You're good, like insanely good, but look at all of those rides seriously. They don't just go all day by themselves, that's not the reality of machines moving massive amounts of human bodies. Just sayin' the place is a miracle that it works at all
