There was an invisable sign only to be seen by those who are stupid. It read "I have answers ask me questions" Kind of the same sign we have when we are playing in the park and guests ask us questions.

HA! This was going to be my exact post too. Think when we play in The Park we must automatically have ODV glow around us stating]

I was called on it by an AP friend of mine who works at LLC (for you non-san diego residents that's Legoland California). I was standing on Main Street talking to them (I was in costume) and was about to go back stage to clock out. We were going to meet for a LATE dinner at Coco's. I was giving directions by pointing where to go and she said "I love your Disney Point" I looked at her and said "Argh! Must you point that out? I am on stage and in costume. I have to point like this"

My cousins and I would stand by the planter, pretending to be reading the entertainment guide, but in reality seeing how many photos we could appear in the background.
One day we picked a family at random, tailing them for hours throughout the park, and jumping somewhere the background every time they pulled out their camera. Nearly every shot had us in it.

This whole, being in a foreign guest's picture thing has happened to me before, and to my friend's brother; I think it's unavoidable. It's funny when there's a group of like...20 of them, all in business suits and huge glasses and they just stop random people as they pass by. I used to people watch on Main Street, near the train depot, it's amazing what you see.

As for the bit about guests stopping to ask you questions, true, it could be the Disney two finger point, or they could just hear something you've recently said that makes you seem 'in the know'...but personally, I think it's some kind of Disney aura that permeates everyone that works there. Probably akin to the glowing sign over one's head...but I don't think you can escape it...

If there is an aura it isn't just for people who work there. I have never worked for Disney and I get asked these questions as well.

Ditto here. Someone in another thread (forgive my faulty memory as to who) got it right: I think you attract questions when you look like you're not totally lost and bewildered.

WE often have ppl ask if they can take a pic of MJ....but I think that might be because of the 500 or so pins she has attached to her wheelchair! LOL
