I totally agree with the tips about being nice to the CM's. Although once in a blue moon you meet one who may be having a bad day or is really rude, I have found this is be the exception. Over the years during my many trips, I have gotten to know several CM's. These are some of nicest people you ever want to meet.
I have experienced giving and being given FP's by both guests and CM's. Just for being nice, and sometimes just because. It definitely enhances my trips by being nice, and makes it more enjoyable.
I am not usually a big WDW bus fan. However, during less busy times I do use it. Once while at AK, I inadvertently (duh) got on the wrong bus. I was actually going to MK, but ended up going to WL. I was the last one to get off. When I told the bus driver what I did, he laughed and said, "sit down, we're on our way to MK. He did not have to do this, but I was so grateful and said thank you a few times. On the way, we were talking, and discovered he retired from where I work now. Also, he knew several members of my family. We also talked about our mutual love of Disney. When I got off the bus, he gave me two (2) CM pins, and told me to tell my Uncle hello. Gotta love Disney!!
Being nice, it does work!
