[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 149291, member: 1991"] At least the guard was stopped in her tracks when you told her, so there is hope for her. But did she then give you a hand? Or was it all over by then? I'd be writing a general letter with ALL the issues you encountered. From the point of view of the staff, they probably see some appalling behaviour from kids who CAN be controlled. However, there are still far better ways of handling it, from a PR perspective. Purely out of possibly vindictive interest, a TV show in Australia a few years ago, "Race Around the World", was about a group of total amateur film-makers who won a place in a competition to travel the world (at the network's expense) on a tight budget and tight schedule, submitting stories from various locations. Can't remember the exact rules but I think they had to submit stories from each continent. Each submitted story was judged by a team of experienced tele-journalists and there were two prizes - for best single story submitted, and for overall top scorer. One particular entrant, John Safran, quickly became known as the bad boy. He would take risks, do the stories that nobody else dared to in the name of good taste. A lot of the time he scored badly because he had gone a bit too far. But he got the highest score for a single story (full marks) for his exposé on Disneyland. You may be able to find it on YouTube (I can't access it easily to search because for us, it costs too much). I think his story was titled, "The Happiest Kingdom of Them All?" (maybe without the "?"). He covered a number of contentious topics, including the pay rates for the staff. He tried to interview Snow White about her superannuation and health package - her reaction was priceless! (He also recently did a TV series titled "John Safran's Search for God?" about various religions of the world and how you get into them. And out again, when you need to leave in a hurry). For the record, I believe all the entrants have found good work in the industry. So if you're feeling jaded about Disneyland, look up John Safran, see if you can find his winning entry. Marg [/QUOTE]
