Misinformation from guests at the parks is astounding

My favorite was oh earring Someone say how all the WDW offices were located under the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Let's come up with a totally over the top rumor to plant and see what happens!

I haven't made up rumors, but I have been on the park bus and intentionally called rides by the wrong name (e.g. Ford Fast Track) just so I can ID other forum members (they're the ones who do the quick double take when they hear the wrong name)

I just laugh at them!

Captain Eo will return in a new adventure, to be written and directed by Neil Blomkamp. The new film will star Usher as Captain Eo who is mounting a musical rescue mission to come to the aid of the Queen of Space, played by Sigourney Weaver, from her evil brother, played by Alan Rickman, who is trying to usurp the throne for himself.

Special appearances by Tom Hiddleston as Eo's cyborg copilot/sidekick Major Domo, and Warwick Davis as Hooter.

A guest told his family that BC was CBR. A friend (that came down for the DCP) was excited about going to Harry Potter, "that's at Disney, right?" "No. That's pretty much like Dunkin vs. Starbucks." At least if you are going to work for a company, do some research.

I heard a lady tell her daughter that Haunted Mansion was "on the other side of the park" and they moved it here about 20 years ago.

Overheard At Disneyland is a fun page/twitter to watch. There's an Overheard at Walt Disney World too, but it hasn't been updated in quite a while.

$6 for Tangled restrooms.

And an additional $1 each to wash your hands ($2 with soap) and paper towels

When we were in Epcot, two women were discussing where to find American Adventure while looking at the map. And my family's all-time favorite Disney line followed, "I think its in Japan." Still makes my kids LOL each time!

 

[Susan Savia]

While at MK I hear someone say, 'let's go to Disney World today'. Probably meaning one of the other parks...I hope....

King Louie on Jungle Cruise...
Those who know what I speak of are free to judge me.

You hear misinformation here, too.

Uni is all thrill rides. Uni isn't as well themed as Disney. My kids are old enough for Disney, but not for Uni.

Most people just don't know very much about the Orlando theme parks.

My kids are old enough for Disney and not Uni. . They will be 2 and 4 next trip. Not much for the 40 inch and under crowd when you compare what they can do at Disney Vs Uni/IOA. Of cours the ha both been to IOA because I love Harry Potter.

That's part of my entertainment while in line at Disney...listening to all the misinformation. My DH will turn to me and say "Where do they get this stuff?"

me too- it is quite entertaining. I try no to say anything, or laugh. Here's a good one that actually pi$$ed me off quite a bit so I said something:
"Normal" families get heavily discounted rooms at deluxes during "gay day" to keep alternative families out (I am paraphrasing of course the words they used are NOT in my vocabulary)

Going back to ticket books. Save your e-tickets

 

[zurgandfriend]

I once heard someone say Walt is buried under the partners statue, also that Walt loved kids but never had any so be built Disney land.

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

Well something's are true........or a matter of opinion, like UNI is mostly thrill rides and except for HP, not all that well themed!

This is the VERY reason why "reality" shows are so popular with the majority of the population in this country... too many folks takin' too much crap at face value. When I'm forced (yes, at gunpoint...and DW has an itchy trigger finger too ) to watch one of those works of pop crapture, DW practically has to gag me. Nothin' more than scripted sitcoms, dramas, etc.
