I think that one's showing up in the San Fernando Valley.

No kidding!! A friend of mine was touring a house for sale in Woodland Hills. Turned out it belonged to a porn producer and they were shooting two flicks around the house. He wanted to buy but his wife dragged him out the door.

Im just a guest (but I for some reason or another feel more important than most other guests, I will be talking to someone in line, and I usually get the question: "do you work here?"), but i get really annoyed when people call space mountain Mission Space. One ride that i do always call by an incorrect name is that wedawy blueline ride thingy in Toimmorowland (see, Im not even sure what the REAL name is!) I always call it the peoplemover, ven though I know the real name.

got back from a trip to wdw recently, and while walking we passed a fairly large family discussing ride options. we had jsut gotten off mission space and i hear this...."i think mission to mars got me too sick to go ride fast track right away."
as an aside. Jack, who ran our behind the magic of steam trains tour....well he was awesome. i think he only works one day a week...thusday if im not mistaken. at any rate, we told my father he was getting a surprise, and he couldnt sleep. i later heard from mom that dad was afraid we were going to get him dressed up in a goofy costume or something....anyway. thanks jack for helping us get my dad good, and thanks too all of you who worked, helped, and dealt with the idiots so the rest of us could have fun.

"You know what I mean!!"
Yes, I guess I'm a mind reader!! :rolleyes:

The most common one I hear is "Fast Track". Half the time they are referring to Fast Pass, the other half it's Test Track :p: And they always say "Well, YES, you know what I mean"

Another one I heard often is "how do I get to the Jurassic Park ride" (meaning Dinosaur) to which they always reply, "Well, you KNOW what I mean"!! .... and the other day I was asked by a grandmotherly looking woman for directions to the breakfast with Scooby Doo :rolleyes: to which further questioning led her to say..."you know, the one in the big hotel". She was referring to the Contemporary, and when I inquired if it was possibly Chef Mickey's her reply was, "well, YES, you know what I mean" :confused: *shrug*

I'll make sure Jack gets the message.

And you're right, Jack rocks! :piano:

Did Jack mention that he was one of the two conductors who created the Steam Train tour?
