A parking toll-booth attendant was robbed Tuesday, the second armed robbery at a Disneyland lot in the past two weeks, authorities said.

Yikes. Those CMs are very isolated. Sadly, Disney probably won't do anything about it until someone is shot. :rolleyes:

The Porsche getaway really makes it.

I suppose now that parking is $11, the booths are actually worth robbing.

Gemini Cricket 09-29-2006 06:05 AM

$11?! That just happened, I guess. When I was there it was only $10!

The title of this thread has me cracking up.

THis wouldn't happen if everyone had to pay by Credit Card !!

:rolleyes:


...Maybe they should switch to the "Take a ticket and validate & Pay at the automated machine on the way out" system - then the only thing thats threatened is the machine !

Sub la Goon 09-29-2006 06:15 AM

Yeah, that new $11 is putting the "P" in AP. Literally. Pay the $45-$50 per year to get the big "P" on your passport (or just so Premium and get it automatically).

They should figure out a way to go cashless in those garages. Use Debit and/or sell parking vouchers somewhere else.

And Lashbear beat me to it...

"Take a ticket" would be faster, too! I wish I wish I wish...

Bummed for the CMs there, being the convenience store clerks of the Disney universe.

Be careful what you wish for. "Take a ticket" works great on the way in but it can really cause a disaster on the way out.

One simple solution is two fold. First, encourage use of electronic payments (perhaps a slight discount) and second add a locked drop box for each booth. They keep a bit of cash for making change and the rest goes into the drop box.
