"You Know What They Used To Have...."
I over heard this today:
"You know what they used to have: horses that pull the trolleys"
Me, thinking, "Yeah, last time I checked, it's still here!"
Anyone got any similar stories like this?

Re: "You Know What They Used To Have...."
I'm not a CM, but this was an actual conversation with a neighbor of mine (we live right by Disney World):
"I like that thing that goes over all those places. There's New York and Florida...."
"You mean Soarin'. It actually just goes over California."
"No, no, I mean the one where you hang glide over New York and Florida..."
"No, I promise you, it's just California. The one at Epcot called Soarin'."
"Yes, but it goes over Florida. It has the orange groves and Disney World."
"Those are CALIFORNIA orange groves, and that's Disneyland. I PROMISE you it's California. The exact same ride is at Disneyland, and it is called Soarin' Over CALIFORNIA there!"
"Yes, but I mean the one that's at Epcot, that goes over New York and Florida..."
ARGHHHHH!!!!

Re: "You Know What They Used To Have...."
I got one of these yesterday. Not Disney but,
I was wearing my Bates Motel shirt and some guy said "Oh yeah, I remember that place. It was gone for a long time but it got moved back."
When I tried to say something about it not being moved, he swore he saw "somebody" move it.
Ummm, huh? As long as I can think back, the house has always been there. Which was the pic on my shirt...
My question I wanted to ask was, "Did David Copperfield move it on a special you saw on TV or what?"

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

"Where's the Hall of Presidents?"
"It's in Liberty Square."
"It's not here in Main Street?"
"No, it's in Liberty Square."
"Oh, because it used to be here."
