She thinks she knows everything...

*Disclaimer before I vent: I, by no means, am a Disney expert.

And I apologize, but need to vent.

So I have a co-worker who thinks she knows everything about everything. For example, someone tried to set fire to a building recently with a molatov cocktail. However, when relaying the entire story to another co-worker, she called it a mosaltof cocktail, he corrected her, and she insisted it was a mosaltof cocktail!

So the other night, she's bragging about her upcoming trip to Florida-how she's staying in a time share, and one day they're doing this, another that, going to Sea World, going to Disney World.:hammer: At this point, I turn around and ask, "Which park?" She goes, "Oh, you know, Disney World." :hammer:And again, I ask, "Which park? There are 4. Plus 2 water parks." And she goes, "oh, the main one, Magic Kingdom. I have passes from, like, 1995, and I'm getting in for free."

So I let it go at that. I don't know about those passes from 1995. Like I said, I'm no expert. But a little later, as I'm thinking about this, I try to offer what little advice I can, for her kids benefit, as I would want anyone's child to have a good time. It's like talking to a brick wall. Whatever. At least I tried. Maybe it will rain the entire time she's there.

Sorry...just had to vent. And my apologies to any from the Jewish faith. I don't mean to offend, just telling the story.

My sister-in-law & her hubby are sort of like that.
They have been to WDW several times in the past few years & they never research anything before they go.
Before each of their trips, we give them suggestions on tips & new things that they should try, but they don't act like they are interested.
When we told them about the DDP, they said that it would not benefit them to do that.
They said, "We only eat a small snack for breakfast, a CS for lunch, & a TS for dinner." (isn't that the DDP?).
Anyway, we don't try to suggest things anymore.
These are people who resently took a trip to Hawaii & didn't really enjoy it. :eek: :wave:

I'm not an "expert" either, though I'm sure they will respond to the thread as well; however our family has used old WDW tickets as entry into the parks. They now sell tickets with "no expiration" for an extra fee, but I believe years ago they did not do this and tickets were good indefinitely. I know we got into parks on 3-5-year-old tickets. :shrug:

I hope your coworker has a fun trip! :)

You run into people like that in ever walk of life. She should be fine with those tickets though she will more than likely need to trade them in for current ticket media at guest services. If you like you can keep that little tidbit to yourself and then you can get some sick satisfaction knowing that she might arrive at the gate only to be turned back to guest services. With any luck she will not see the one next to the turnstiles and will go all the way back to the TTC.:drevil:

One of my colleagues is a bit like that. She recently returned from a trip to Florida. She said that they didn't like Epcot, because it was boring and there weren't any rides?!:confused:

Also I asked if she had seen any of the Harry Potter construction at Universal, because my daughter is a big HP fan and would love to go there (we've only been to universal once, about 7 years ago). She told me that they definitely were not building anything to do with HP and that I must be mistaken.

I didn't bother to argue...
 
There was a girl we went to WDW with a few years ago. She was definitely of the same breed! Anything anyone would add to the conversation was a "Oh yeah, I know!" from her.

A day or two in, we started making up really stupid fake facts like "Did you guys know that you cant go swimming in the Lake at certain times of the year, because that's when the alligators are all hibernating?" or "Did you know that this building was built in the (some totally made up style the teller made up) style?"

Surprise surprise, she "knew" all of it. We all had a pretty good laugh after the trip.
