Originally Posted By TheBellCaptain Oh, they were there alright. Three of them. The nice guy's name was Fred. I don't know if they were hourly CM's - I doubt it. More likely they were execs from DL Paris, but they were dressed as Bellhops and they were working the rides. They didn't draw much attention (which is probably why they dressed as Bellhops to begin with), but once I started talking with them I found out who they were, where they were from, and why they were there. Oh, and their nametags were Disneyland Paris tags - cool...
