Interesting thing at MGM today

**Tink#64** · 12-06-2007, 12:21 AM

We have had 2 absolutely amazing experiences (at least to us!).

A couple of years ago - it was our last day & we had time for one more ride & we were debating SplM or BTMRR, 2 young ladies walked up & asked if we were going to ride, also discussed pin trading with us (DH was wearing the lanyard) & they took us to the front of the line for SplM! We went in via the exit & went right to the front & boarded! Following the ride we were gieven a free photo package of our ride & a certificate with a pin of Walt Disney! This was definietly a magical moment for us!

Not sure if the second event was from the same trip or another?, but we arrived back home from WDW to find that one of our DS's souvenears was broken inside our mangled suitcase (thanks to Delta! :O). I called WDW to see if it was possible to purchase the item over the phone & have it shipped, (it was the short, wooden POTC gun - I can't believe there was such a hard impact on our suitcase, enough to break this solid wood gun!). The CM got my name & address & said they's send a replacement right out to us! I tried to explain, that the gun was fine when we bought it, that Delta had broken it, & the CM told me that it happened all the time. WDW replaced the souvenear at no charge to me! I thought that was so over & beyond & I love to tell this story to everyone! Unbelievebale - no one else would have replaced the item at no charge & I could have been making it all up! I think that was a real defining moment for me & how I feel about the magic of WDW!

I just saw a hilarious video on youtube of a grown man gobbling like a turkey! Was that you?

Just kidding…

Welcome

Even though you are a newbie, sounds like your a "leg" up on us already.

We saw something like this before:

We were in Mexico at Epcot back in September and the CM at the margarita stand called out free margaritas. We didn't get over there fast enough because they only gave out two. They are $8 each, so that was a magical moment for someone!

That's a neat story! Thanks for sharing. I've never seen anything like that before.

The only time we have encountered free food was in October at the Food and Wine Festival. My DH was wearing a birthday button. We had ordered 2 quesadilas, but when my DH picked them up the CM gave him a 3rd one and said, "Happy birthday!"

When we were there in March, my neice set down her baby ewok in the mission space gift shop and since we had warned her a million times to keep up with her stuff, we did not go back for it....Oh my..what a scene, well we got her calmed down and went for ice cream and the CM at the cart gave us it for free because there is "no crying at Disney World"

Then we bought sooo much stuff that one of our stuffed mickey's hid under the bed when we left...I guess mousekeeping found it as after we got home we received a call from Disney saying we had left something in our room and they would return it to us....and they did..free of charge.

Gotta love that Disney magic!

On our first night at Disney last week, we were at MGM. My daughter struck up a conversation with a cast member (Gisele) at an ice cream stand near RnRC. My daughter must have said the right things because she gave us all Ice cream for free!! It was a great way to start our vacation!!

DH and I had free food before. DH and I received free hot cocoa at Ghiradelli in DTD before. And on our last trip, we got some free desserts in restaurants as well. But we were also on our honeymoon.

We'll be at WDW on Saturday!

We were at Epcot last Wednesday and DS (3 1/3yrs) wanted an ice cream. When he went up to the CM at the stand and said he wanted a kodoozie, she handed it to him and said, "This one is on Mickey." That was one of our several Wishes that we received while there.
