Pirates or Big Thunder Mountain for me!

My friend worked in DLP about 14 years ago & absolutely hated it.  It's not put her off Disney though & when we went out there together on holiday she was pointing out loads of hidden stuff to me.

I think they're both in the top choices and you can see why both incredible attractions, 14 years wow! Wat did she work on/as there most CMs seem happy but then guess it's bloody hard work and some guests can be very difficult from what I've witnessed over the years... At least she hasn't lost he passion for Disney!

I'm thinking Pirates or Phantom Manor! Standard answer really  ::)

Does a character meet count as an attraction? That'd be really cool  ;D
Hotel Santa Fe - 95 / Dream Castle - Jul 07 / Hotel Cheyenne - Dec 09 / Hotel Santa Fe - Dec 12 / Sequoia Lodge - Dec 14 / Sequoia Lodge - Feb 16 / Newport Bay Club - Halloween 16 / Newport Bay Club - Feb 17

She found their to be a real bullying culture (from French managers to English staff).  She worked in lots of different areas I think, but mainly in the restaurants rather than the rides.  .   At the time she said even people that were playing characters were given a tough time.   She told me a story of how a new goofy was given a complete dressing down for walking too quickly.   This was a long time ago, so things are probably (and hopefully!) very different now

Oh dear! That's extremely sad to hear :( I hope things have changed for the better for all the staff at DLP
