Interview with -
Goofy Guy
How long
have you worked at WDW?
I started working for WDW on April 24, 1997.
Where in
WDW do you work?
I work for Victoria and Albert's as a Seater.
What would
be a typical day's work for you?
I do work long days from 4 in the afternoon to 2 in the morning.
I am constantly working at the highest standards that makes V
& A's the best restaurant at WDW and one of the best in the country.
What do
you like most about working at WDW?
I love meeting all the new people that come into the restaurant
from all over the world. Also it is nice to see our regulars that
come in the restaurant. I must admit that I would love to have
the kind of money that would allow me to be a regular at V & A's.
Do you
have a particular magical memory that sticks in your mind, from
working at WDW?
At V & A's we have a wonderful procedure for getting engaged.
We have a silver tray and a dome to present the ring. On the tray
we arrange flower petals, usually rose petals, to accent the ring.
We present the ring right before desert is served. We usually
say, "Ms. Whatever, Mr. Whoever has arranged for you to have a
special dessert for this evening." We lift the dome. Then we exit
fast to let the gentleman take over and give them the privacy
for that moment. It is unfortunate that some people do not tell
us what they are doing and they do not get this treatment.
If you
could give one tip to someone visiting WDW, what would it be?
This is a tip that not too many people know about. If you order
one of those tubs of popcorn at the parks, you can get free refills.
The same is true about drinks. I always get a tub of popcorn when
I first get into the parks. It keeps my son satisfied and we can
get more later. I have more of those tub than I know what to do
with.
Thanks
