A couple years ago I was exiting Hall of Presidents and I overheard this exchange between a (maybe) 5 year old boy and his mother: Boy, with a scowl on his face, "Mommy, when that Obama started talking, I just had to cover my ears!" To which his mother replied, very matter-of-factly, "Yes, sweetie, your daddy & I have to do that all the time, too."

I can imagine that it'll be more brutal with Trump, if he gives a speech.

A couple of years ago at Expedition Everest:
the vehicle is approaching and a boy about 8 years realizes that this won't be a slow train ride but a roller coaster.
He gets panicky, starts to cry and tells his mother "I'm scared, I don't wanna ride."
His mom grabs his arm and trys to pull him inside the vehicle while almost yelling "But I wanna ride".

Overheard a couple of weeks ago - two male teens walking by the German pavilion in Epcot. One says to the other, "hey, this looks a LOT like Germany."

Really, you think?

Haha, that's exactly what I get asked all the time. "Does it really look like that in Germany?"
Sure, and we Germans listen to folk music and yodelling all day while eating kraut and sauerbraten .

Yup, and all of us Canadians wear lumberjack shirts and live in the wilderness, with large chateaus and totem poles on every street-according to the Canada pavilion.

Hey, according to your CircleVision movie it snows everywhere up there, every day!

Yeah, and, unfortunately, it just adds to the myth that we are cold and snowbound all year. I live in the very southernmost part of Canada, which, in the summer, gets into the 80s and 90s on a regular basis, and yet, we used to get people from the US driving up here-in July-with skis strapped to their car-"hey, where's all the snow?"

@Raineman Another Southern Canadian here, ya'll !! yup we get nice summers for sure

Not something to be proud of, but remember - people grew up in a differnt time and culture.

My grandfather, circa 1990, in EPCOT, he was about 65-70 at the time. "What are all of these foreigners doing here?"

He is also the guy who thought the music for Illuminations was too lound, so he stuck rolled up napkins in his ears.

Same folks that show up in Orlando in February, still dressed in cargo shorts and tshirts, even though the local temp is around 45.

Careful now, 45 degrees is a heat wave to us North Dakotans (close enough to Canada). We're the ones at the water parks when it's 65 and sunny.

Is this not true eh ?

Maybe Currywurst due to der gastarbeiterprogramm... but remember they cycled Margaret Almer out of the entertainment lineup. Just like in the US, the Southern Germans speak quite differently.

In all my visits in January and February, I have always worn shorts and T's. I can remember walking up to the Monorail to find all the CM's in Parkas, Mittens and knit hats. All I could do was smile as I wasn't cold at all.

OK, as a public service it's time for a little schoolin on Cananadian speaking. The 'eh' although sounds like it should be a question... is not. That is how weird the Great White North residents truly are. You used it like a question... "Is this not truth, eh?" The actual igloo huggers will say... "That's the truth, eh!" Hand me a Labatts, eh! It's a statement or demand assumed to be correct. The only response is to nod ones head up and down in agreement.

I agree with everything in this post-except I'd substitute Sleeman or Alexander Keiths for Labatts. I like those beers better, eh.

Just tonight on the walk back to BLT right when we got to the end of the sidewalk there was an enormous woman standing at the end of it and as I pushed my little girl by in her stroller that woman let out a gigantic burp right in front of us and then STARTED LAUGHING!!!! Not a single "excuse me". Nothing! Who does that?!
