This Disney theme park greeting secretly means ‘f**k off’

WALT Disney built his theme parks so that children could have a magical day out – but they also have the added effect of turning adults into giant babies.

Stroppy parents are the biggest headache for staff at the parks – known as “cast members”.

But strict rules banning any kind of negativity in front of customers means that their hands are tied when faced with a diva guest.

So employees have had to be creative, coming up with genius catchphrases that sound friendly – but are actually full of venom.

So if you ever hear a Disney employee bid you farewell with the words, “Have a magical Disney day” – know you’ve done something seriously wrong.

In Disney talk, that’s code for “f*** you.”

The phrase was revealed during an AMA on Reddit, when someone said: “I worked for Disney’s Ad Agency for three years and we had some cast members tell us this is what it meant,” and it was confirmed by two former theme park employees.

That’s not the only phrase you don’t want to hear spoken about you at the parks though – if an employee ever refers to you as a customer, you’re probably in for a shake-down.”

Charles Harris, a former Disney employee in the 1990s said on Quora: “Disney does not have customers, they have guest and the cast members are trained to never refer to someone as a customer.

“However in one high profile location where shoplifting was a bit more prevalent, the cast members would use the term ‘customer’ when speaking to another cast member if they felt someone was up to something and to not alert other guests who might overhear that conversation.”

Sun Online also revealed the other day that any members of the public referred to as “treasured guests” are anything but.

If you’ve heard these words at one of the parks then it might be time to look at your behaviour.
