Anyone one else do anything they're less than proud of?
Originally Posted By TP2000 Done something I'm less than proud of? Sure. But done it in public? No. And done something at Disneyland that would be inconsiderate to people around me or the people who try to operate the park safely and courteously for their customers? Definitely not. And if I had, and then had years to reflect on it, I would desperately hope my level of personal shame would rise to something higher than "maybe a little". Just my thoughts, since you asked. ;-)

I was always amazed when someone needed to be asked to leave, escorted off property, or worse yet - arrested. You're at Disneyland, for crying out loud!

Smoked a jibber before went in to the park -- felt sacreligious and riddled with guilt. Almost as if TP2000 were lecturing me. Interesting feeling. Never did that again.

WE felt so bad for the kids not only was DL ruined for them, but what they must of thought when they realized what their mother had done to them...

The really stupid thing about it was he wasn't even drinking, the cop just assumed and wouldn't believe him. He is kind of a big guy so I think the cop was threatened even tho he is a teddy bear. He had to stand there the whole night with a bunch of drunken idiots. Then to make matters worse when he got home he go kicked off the baseball team as they didn't believe him either. It was a really dumb/bad situation. When we went back a year later we jokingly took pictures on him in front of the baby center. We are guilty of hand-stamp transfer, sort of. I was with my boyfriend and his best friend happen to come to Disneyland for the night. It was already 10 PM so we didn't want to buy a 2 hour ticket. So we just told the lady it washed off, she believed him and let him in. I guess I don't feel horrible with all the money I have spent on Disneyland I don't think they lost any revenue. Haha.

Originally Posted By imadisneygal "I guess I don't feel horrible with all the money I have spent on Disneyland I don't think they lost any revenue. Haha." This is the same excuse I heard from many Guests who were shoplifting. "I already paid enough to get in here, it's not like you're losing money on me..." Yeah, that's exactly what it's like. And Disneyland did lose revenue. Disneyland pays undercover Security CM's, costumed Security CM's, investigators, and utilizes the Anaheim Police Dept. to help stop theft. Sneaking in is theft as well as trespassing. And it's an arrestable offense. So yes, lying about a handstamp to get into Disneyland for two hours is theft. Even if you've paid thousands of dollars before, it's still theft. But I've heard the excuse many times about having already paid a lot of money.

They gave me a lovely parting gift. Now I could work there under my old availibility because they've loosened the requirements. But I wouldn't go back to giving up my three days a week off... not with my wife and new baby at home! SFH No, never got kicked out.

For example...paying to get into a theater and letting my buddies in the exit door. Wrong but something a younger person does not consider. Now, 20 years (or more) later I would very much consider that an act of thievery and worthy of arrest. It’s a matter of maturity...
Originally Posted By 8 ilovemickey 8 Ouch are you calling me immature? Haha. Nah, I don't really care. I am strict rule-follower, always do the right thing, and get upset when people don't follow the rules. Don't drink, don't do drugs, straight A's, pre-med, etc. Haha. I guess this was my rebellious moment. Aren't we all allowed one?

For example and totally off topic, i like to play poker for small amounts of money from home on my computer. The state i live in says this is a felony but imo this is ridiculous. I am not taking advantage of anyone or anything. I play poker for entertainment from my home and am doing what I fell a free individual in a free society should be able to do. What you did was take advantage of a situation that hindered another (the DL corporation). I did the exact same kind of thing in my late teens early twenties...but now i would consider that completely wrong. I guess it just depends on your frame of reference. If it deprives another it should not be done whether it is against an individual or a corporation.

Originally Posted By 8 ilovemickey 8 Haha. No worries. I totally get what you are saying. I just see myself as one of those people who has matured a little faster than others, but I am sure I still have a few lessons to learn. ; )
