I read the first few posts in this thread and then skipped to the end. LOL Wow, how a thread can change!!
Two tips for everyone:
#1 - If someone is quoting wrong information excitedly, leave it alone. They're excited about Disney. Let them keep that excitement. The moment you get on them and embarrassingly correct them they will have that horrible memory associated with Disney. You know the right answer so just let it go. The big golf ball is nothing to get so upset over.
#2 - Everyone hears things like this coming from Disney visitors so you're not unique. And if you've never heard this incorrect rambling from a Disney visitor... then maybe you're the incorrect visitor. LOL
