Disneyland
Everyone's blogging spree seems to have ended after 13th August.
Anyway, just returned from Disneyland. Something eye-opening happened and I think everyone should learn about it. It is not the new Disneyland California park that's so amusing; not the 50th anniversary parade that's so stunning; not the new rides that are worth gasping. It is the tour guide that's worth mentioning.
Ok... below are the details.
My tour of 55 people entered the "happiest place on earth" at 8am. Then the tour guide was arrested by Disneyland security. What an exciting way to start the day. Not trying to be sarcastic but don't you agree this is an experience money can't buy? Alright, before I sound too evil, I shall clarify here that the tour guide deserved it.
Before we entered Disneyland that morning, the tour guide gave out the tickets to us and I sensed something fishy. I flipped the ticket over and there read "Nontransferable, must be used by same person on all days. This ticket allows the holder to be admissioned into same park for 3 days. EXTRA DAYS EXPIRE 14 DAYS FROM INITIAL USE..." I was feeling weird since the tour was going to spend one day in the park only. Why were we holding on to re-entry tickets?
Sure enough, we entered the park and the officers came over and quarantined all of us. Basic questions like "were we in the park before" and "how many days are we going to spend here" were asked. I was like,"errr... last time I was here was 8 years ago...We are only spending one day here." Eventually, all our words were recorded and used to charge against the tour guide in court. Apparently, the tour guide used the same tickets for different tour groups. What a stupid man, didn't he know such crude trick couldn't cheat computerised system, and people who actually bothered to read the tickets?
The tour guide was brought away, leaving the park supervisors with 55 of us. Some people tried to find out what's going to happen to the tour guide but the authorities refused to say. Anyway, they were terribly sorry for the hours of delay and offered us fast-passes so we could salvage the rest of our day. The day turned out excellent with that irritating tour guide missing.
Next time, when any of you are in a tour, watch out for such things.
