Code Words
When I first started working at WDW I was in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella Castle. I was a Fairy Godmother in Training and helped do little girls’ hair, “make-up” and nails. It was easily one of the most fun jobs—plus we got tips! One thing that sticks out is I had a little girl come in and I found two strange lumps in her scalp.
I thought maybe they might be moles, but on further inspection they were two ticks. We have a code for lice (“Pumba”), but I wasn’t sure what to call this one. I called a manager over and she pulled the parent aside and explained the situation and that we would be unable to do her daughters hair because of the ticks.
The mother grabbed her daughter out of the chair and a Kleenex and ripped the ticks out of her daughter’s head and handed them to the manager in the Kleenex. We were all kind of in shock but she got her done.
