I have a friend who told me that cast members who do "guest control" now consider themslves in a "riot type situation" and it's us (cast members) against them (guests) and guess who is going to win? Yep, the cast member. Guest courtesy has gone out the door in some areas of Disney and that is a shame.

But I guess they don't do this in Cali due to the expertise of the advanced Obama Nation folk out there, with tools for stealing wheel chairs.

It's entirely possible for the old coot to have walked in to DL, but then be too tired to finish the walk out to the busses.
