Not an attraction quote per se but a personal Disney call-back...one trip, I would occasionally say things that I thought kids would say. I wouldn't say it like a kid would say it, but say incredibly sweet naive things with all the gravitas of an adult. Like when my wife would ask if I wanted to go in the pool, I'd sniff and say "that's not a pool for big kids, that's a pool for babies." That sort of thing.
Anyway, we're at Animal Kingdom Lodge after eating at Boma. We're looking at giraffes. I say "I know that giraffe. His name is Ned and one day he will let me pet him." Again, like a grownup with dignity and self-respect. And it struck both of us as so outrageously stupid, whenever we see any animal, even lightning bugs or salamanders, one of us will say "His name is Ned and one day he will let me pet him."
