Protein Spill or Code V: Vomit. Gross. Steer clear of the area! Again, the Disney
Company theorized that the use of ‘harsh’ words such as “puke” or “vomit” may
make guests uncomfortable and determined the phrase “protein spill” was easier on
the ears.
Signal 70: There is a lost child.
Editor’s Note: WDW handles the problem of lost children VERY well. Be sure your child knows
how to spot a Disney cast member and ask for help - he or she will be back in your arms in no
time flat! It’s a good idea to snap a picture of your child with your camera each morning, in
case you get separated the picture can help cast members spot your child in the outfit they’re
wearing that day! And, if you spot a child who looks to be alone, be sure to alert a cast
member - they are all trained to handle lost children and will take it from there to ensure
that everyone is safe, sound, and back on their way to a magical day!
Signal 25: There is a fire.
Abbreviations: When speaking with guests, Cast Members must use full and proper
names. But when speaking amongst co-workers, CMs will also abbreviate rides to
one word such as “Pirates” for Pirates of the Caribbean or “Thunder” for Big
Thunder Mountain Railroad etc.
On Stage: Anywhere in the park to which guests have access.
Backstage: Areas of the parks that guests are not allowed access.
