I'm hoping the blackouts on 6/23 may thin the crowds ever so slightly, but I fear the worst.
I'm avoiding Cars Land opening weekend like the plague. I have to go the following weekend because I made plans months ago with a friend. I except both to be insane. - LaneSparrow316

Me too. I don't think I'll even attempt carsland till the fall when my son has a random nonholiday off from school. - aidensmama 336.5 #445 12:04PM

I just have to say....if you are going anywhere near DL and DCA for the next several months expect huge crowds and long waits for everything. There won't be any light days, it's summer and Carsland. I find it silly that anyone who has been to the parks or on MW for more than 5 mins would ask such a silly question. Just my opinion. Going to be a long summer. - Jimineycricket

Just a friendly reminder that MWers need to actually be in the parks to start the roll call post.👍 - SergZak

Please don't take this the wrong way, it's not meant to stir the pot.... I keep hearing this; but where does it says this? I see people getting jumped on for this but I can't find it in the FAQ's. - Mickey74 3660.5 #8 12:25PM
Probably one of those undocumented rules...I've gotten jumped on it as well as seeing others being scolded. If someone has a direct link to an actual rule, please post. If it should be in the FAQ, it needs to be added. Either way, it needs to be clarified for all. - SergZak 3125.8 #13 12:33PM
I thought of it as a fun way to see who's there and who's going to be there. I am going to be there after work, I figured minus whale start it now, because starting it at 6pm would seem a little late. =) - LaTruce 1640.0 #45 12:33PM
I look at it in the sense of being in school...the teacher takes roll call. He/she is in the school. They can't take roll call if they are not there...something like that. So in that sense, the MWer that starts roll call is the teacher and all those that reply are the students. So in effect, the MW who starts roll call gets to tell the MWers who responded to roll call what to do...no? 😜 - SergZak 3125.8 #13 12:39PM
Personally I don't see a problem with anyone creating it. Whether they are there or not. It's fun and friendly and gives people a great way to participate and interact with other MW's. I see people getting scolded for it and they shy away from MW. Someone posted one at 6am who was clearly excited to be heading to DL today but got jumped on because he wasn't in the park yet so he deleted it. It just didn't seem right to do that. - Mickey74 3660.5 #8 12:39PM
If anyone would know, it would be MayBie... - SergZak 3125.8 #13 12:41PM
So LaTruce is like a naughty teacher..? I like it😉 - ScubaSteve028 811.0 #114 12:44PM
"might as whale".. lol - crustle 625.1 #175 12:44PM
I know where sergZak is coming from but I'm with Mickey74 - epyon8250 295.9 #636 12:58PM
Considering that I, nor Mickey74 can find it in the FAQ (or anywhere else for that matter) and until it's verified one way or another as an actual rule, I won't mention it again. I hate to bring any negativity into the Lounge. Have fun, ALL! 😄 - SergZak 3125.8 #13 1:09PM
Yup, Sarah and her Storybook whale puns.. 😂 - LaTruce 1640.0 #45 1:23PM
Serg is right. DMW and Tone Loc started the roll call and you should be present in the park to post it and shouldn't post in It Coming at 5! Just post when you get there. It's not in the FAQ but it was started this way from the beginning and should stay that way. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:37PM
And Serg is SOOO non confrontational Idk why this was even made an issue. He said it very nicely, and it's not such a huge request. I would be like me 5hrs away starting the roll call, it doesn't make sense. Roll Call has traditionally been started by the first MWr to post in the parks. It seems un necessary to have to post things that are common sense into the FAQ. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:40PM
As someone who gets to visit the parks every few months it's exciting to be the first on property and get to post the roll call. If a local who wasn't in the parks beat me to it, I would be a little bummed out. As an out of towner, it's one of those things we don't get to do a lot... Hand over the butthurt cream I guess 😂 - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 1:41PM
Its an unspoken/written rule as Roll-call was made by a couple of mousewaiters. Dont take this as us ganging up on you though, it happened to me too almost two years ago lol - RandyNewman 401.0 #332 1:43PM
It's the reason you post te ROLL CALL IN REAL TIME! You post in Real Time when you are IN THE PARKS or on the RESORT. So that people IN the parks don't have to scroll a bunch to find the info. - toph 2398.6 #26 1:44PM
On a side note: if anyone could post the real-time roll call, chaos would ensue... - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 1:48PM
Cyndelgrace if a local beats you to it an THEY are in the parks then it's fair but when they are Home it's NOT at all. Lol! I like your use of butthurt cream though! 😂 - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:51PM
For some reason I am craving a dole whip! - VfxGenie 1353.3 #59 1:52PM
I love Cyndelgrace today! - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:53PM
Exactly. Roll call is so that people IN the parks can find each other, report info, etc. Makes no sense to post in the roll call if you are not even in the parks. - bluefairy 627.1 #174 1:54PM
Since it's posted in real time, it only stands to reason you would need to be at the parks in order to start it. - Mimmy 1405.6 #57 1:58PM
If anyone could post it we would have people scrambling to post it at 12:01 a.m. Let's avoid that please :) Leave it to the people on resort property. - MayBie 1864.2 #40 1:58PM
Thank you Miss MayBie! - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 2:00PM
I will say the "undocumented" rules are the ones that make me so nervous to post on here. Especially being a newbie. I've noticed that there are a lot of unspoken rules and it makes me second guess any time I want to say something. I know you have to have a tough skin but it can be intimidating. - erincredible
199.6 #1637 1:30PM
Don't feel that way. There aren't a ton of undocumented rules here. You can learn so much by watching how the lounge operates. And if you commit a boo-boo, and someone lets you know, don't be offended. Take it for what it is. Someone who's been around awhile, teaching you something. - DisneyFanZoe 1096.7 #75 1:34PM
I think it's less a case of unwritten rules and more a matter of respecting the foundations that have made the app so great, roll call being one of those things... - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 1:43PM
I know what you mean. New people don't always know the "unwritten rules" and are blasted for it sometimes. But me myself, try not to take things personal. Life's too short, to let something like that ruin ones day. Live and learn :) Everyone just has to remember they were all new at some point and didn't know everything. - SleepyTortuga 287.2 #685 1:48PM
Exactly Cyndle if it wasn't for the traditions that were established from the beginning the MW community would'nt be what it is. Which is pretty darn great! - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:52PM
And in the case Serg who isn't a bully lol said it very nicely. He wasn't trying to create controversy or drama that is he exact opposite of what he's about. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:53PM
Exactly, now if littlebullyblue over here posted her response, this may have gone differently 😂😂😂 - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 1:56PM
Exactly. But Serg is not me and has no offending tone ever. 😂 - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:59PM
I am also newer to MW but I find when I come into an established community, it's best to sit back and observe. I've picked up on these traditions simply by reading others' posts and staying open minded to those who are veterans. I am not saying that newer MWers opinions don't matter. I'm just saying not everything has to be in black and white.. - EpicDio 381.7 #354 2:00PM
Completely agree with EpicDio. When entering a bee community it's always best to get a feel for the way things run before jumping in. We were all new once, but people shouldn't be afraid to comment. Just use good judgement and follow the rules (written and unwritten), have a good sense of humor, and contribute positively. - Mimmy 1405.6 #57 2:11PM
