There was an employee working at a Disney store. A little girl came in asking for a very rare and out - of - stock plushie. The employee, instead of just saying no, spent the whole day calling other stores and finally found one. When he presented it to the girl, her face lit up. It was funny because his determination to make the girl happy was so extreme but also heartwarming.
There was a Disney employee working at a food stand. A customer asked for a very complicated ice cream sundae with a long list of toppings. The employee tried his best to remember but ended up putting on some wrong toppings. When the customer looked a bit confused, the employee said, 'Well, this is our new experimental sundae!' and then quickly fixed it up while making the customer laugh. This kind of quick - thinking humor from the employee is really memorable in the Disney experience.
There might be an employee who was promised a promotion. They worked extra hours, took on additional responsibilities, and trained new hires. However, in the end, the promotion was given to someone else with less experience because of some internal politics. This made the employee feel undervalued and very sad.
Some employees have had to deal with unruly guests. There are cases where guests verbally abuse employees for minor issues like a ride being closed temporarily. An employee at a Disney store once shared that a customer got really angry because the item they wanted was out of stock and started shouting and using inappropriate language. The employee was left feeling very distressed but had to keep their composure as per company policy.
Sure. There was an employee who always fell asleep during meetings. One day, he was snoring so loudly that the boss had to throw a pen at him to wake him up. It was hilarious.
During my Disney vacation, we decided to have a character meal. As we were eating, Goofy came over to our table. My friend was so star - struck that she tried to offer Goofy her burger instead of getting a photo. Goofy just laughed and pretended to take a big bite. It was hilarious and a moment we'll never forget.
One funny story is about a little girl at Disney World who was so excited to meet Cinderella. When Cinderella bent down to say hello, the girl's ice cream cone accidentally smooshed right into Cinderella's beautiful dress. Cinderella just laughed it off and the girl was both embarrassed and found it hilarious at the same time.
There was a Tumblr post about a family's visit to Disneyland. Their toddler was convinced that all the characters were real people in costumes just for him. So when he saw Mickey Mouse, he tried to share his cookies with Mickey, saying that Mickey must be hungry from all that running around. It was such a cute and funny moment that the parents shared on Tumblr, and it quickly went viral among Disney fans.
One horror story is about an employee having to deal with extremely rude guests. They would be yelled at for things out of their control, like ride breakdowns. Some guests even threw things at them.
An employee was leading a parade. Suddenly, a dog ran into the parade route. Instead of panicking, the employee picked up the dog and carried it along in the parade for a while. The dog seemed to enjoy it and the onlookers were amused.
There was a family visiting Disney World. The little girl in the family thought the Disney princess was her long - lost sister.
