2."Where is the nearest place I can get running water?"

3."Are the restrooms at the Magic Kingdom accessable?"

4."Ohh wow it's a real bunny!"

5."Does the Jungle Cruise take you to Animal Kingdom?"

And I can go on and on with the bizzare questions I get asked. One of the wierdest things that happened to me was a guest that broke through the ropes at the Hall of Presidents when it was closed and jumped the locked turnstiles came up to the break room door and knocked. The guest said "Hey did you guys know you have ropes up outside and your turnstiles are locked? How do you expect people to get in?"

LOTFL...:)

A few years back when we went with my in-laws from Virginia, my husband, myself and my brother-in-law were looking at the cow, Minnie Moo (a real cow, now at Fort Wilderness Campgrounds) who use to be in a pen by Goofy's Barnstormer ride. My husband said to my brother-in-law, "Look a hidden mickey on Minnie Moo" (her black spots formed it on her side), he replied "Wow, do you think anyone else knows it is there!!" I wanted to say "Well, duh, why do you think she is here and named Minnie Moo". But I refrained.

Also, that same day we were going to go on the Jungle Cruise and his 4 year old was sleeping in the stroller. He told his wife to just push her under the shade and she would probably sleep the whole time we were on the ride!! Needless to say he wouldn't win father of the year award!! I know Disney is safe, but I don't think I would leave my 4 year old sleeping in a stroller to ride a ride!!:eek:

Here's a conversation between a tourist and my sister at Animal Kingdom:

"That safari ride was so lame. It would be cool if they had a lion killing a tiger!"

"I'm sorry sir, but since lions live only in Africa and tigers live in Asia, that could not happen naturally."

"You're just saying that because this is Disney!"

This tourist falls into the "I failed preeschool" category. He was actually YELLING at my sister about this!:rolleyes: :eek: :rolleyes:

I kept running into the same man in Epcot. The story starts at the MouseGear store where the man picks up a Donald Duck T-shirt and says to his son, "Do you want a Daffy Duck t-shirt?"
Then he pooped up at a character dinner and said, "Hey, Look! It's Daffy Duck!" If your going to a Disney theme park, please know the names of the characters!

I just remembered a really funny one!
We decided to seat on a bench to rest. The bench was near the entrance to World Showcase. Behind us was a small pond full of flamingos. A woman next to us said to her husband, "Look! Man, they so real! Disney is truely on the cutting edge!" Then my brother turned to me and said, "They are real, aren't they?"
I thought how thick headed are they?!

When I was at disneyland we were waiting to see fantasmic (what a disapointment) we were talkin go the one tourist and we said "we're hoping this measures up to the one in disneyworld" (which i didn't!!) and the man said "o they test everything in disneyworld before they bring it here" i just busted out laughing..
by the way fantasmic at disneyland sucks. they do it on tom sawyers island! no seating and if you do sit where you are supposed to you can't see over the shrubs! And then if oyu stood you were in the way of a little kid and they'd start whining...so....
if you want a good park go to disneyworld..if oyu want to see a good fantasmic i mean!!

Fantasmic!

Don't say that about Fantasmic! Fantasmic! is Fantasmic! no matter where it is. The man must have felt silly because the original came from Disneyland in 1992 and then a copy came to Walt Disney World in 1998.

My wife and I were waiting at the main bus stop on our frist trip to WDW when another couple with kids came up. The wife wondered out loud were to stand to go to MK. Her husband started on the most patronizing display of behavior we had ever seen, yelling "read the signs, what does the sign say, it is right there on the signs" ect. Since then whenever we think the other one is being patronizing or obnoixous we just state "read the sign".

Port Orleans

A friend of mine went down once and stayed at the Port Orleans resort. One day, a woman in her 40s asked him, "Where are all the buses going?" "To the theme parks." he said. "What theme parks? I thought this was all there was for Walt Disney World?" I thought how thick headed is that woman.

YEAH!!!! MY 200TH POST!!!!:cool: :D :) :cool:

This is one from last Sunday....

It was getting dark that evening and there was a storm cloud in the distance. A man noticed lightning in the cloud and said, "There's fireworks coming out of that cloud." I'm not gonna ask.

Funny!!

"The fireworks are shot off from the top of Cinderella's Castle. They are shot from smal cannons because their isn't that much room."

I have just remembered two quotes from the same family who were sat with us when we were having dinner one night. I'm afraid it was in the Kobe Steakhouse, so not actually in Disney, but I think they are worth noting :-

1 "WOW you are from England.....what language to do you speak over there?"

2 "So what do you eat in England?"

Funny!

I remembered one when we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. A woman was sitting next to me on Main Street USA waiting for the parade (I was waiting for my brother to return from a store so I could ride BTMRR). She was telling a friend, "You know that snow. They take BIG blocks of ice and they shave it, then they shoot it out onto Main Street. Stick out your tongue and catch one." I wonder after she got one, that she realized that it was soap.
