No, no, no...We are trying to help Wallaby remember! I thought chanting would help him! You win nothing, except your next case! Will that be good? :)

If I can pick the case, maybe...

So, Wallaby, you remember yet?

ETA: Woohoo! I just realized I'm almost to 1000 posts!

I dont work in a theme park but I guess I need to throw in my stupidest question I get asked, and more than once. I would for Johnny's Service Center Inc, I answer the phone a lot, when I answer the phone I say "Johnny's" and I have had several people then reply "is this advanced towing?" (Advanced is the other tow company in town) My reply is "no, this is Johnny's Service Center, thats why I answered the phone JOHNNY'S."

Well, I never did remember what it was, but it was awesome, I remember that one. I remember thinking, "I can't wait to get home to post that!"

We have Hub kiosks at work, can't we have a SGT kiosk right next to each of them?

Well, there's always the guy the other night at PI who got on my bus going to Animal Kingdom Lodge, and when we were pulling out, I made the announcement that we were headed to Downtown Disney, and he asked when we were stopping at the Contemporary...

C'mon, those aren't even the same load zone!


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

"It may take several days, sir. It just depends on how the buses are assigned." :D:

I had that backfire on me once when I was standing really still in the Haunted Mansion ER and a guest punched me in the stomach to prove I wasn't real. Never did that again.


"Excuse me, are those ducks real?"
"Yes, sir, but the water is fake."

When you're in the middle of Disneyland and they ask you how to get to Magic Mountain. :confused:

I can easily top that. I got asked directions to Magic Mountain by a guest at the Magic Kingdom!

After I couldn't convince her that she meant Big Thunder, Splash, or Space Mountain, and she started to get testy, I explained:

"Yes ma'am. Get on the train here in Frontierland. Go two stops and exit the park. Take the Express Monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center. Transfer to the Parking Lot Tram and return to your car. Follow the white arrows to the one and only exit. Follow the signs and take I-4 East, then I-95 North, then I-10 West, the I-5 North, and get off at Magic Mountain Parkway. Then just follow the signs."

"There, now that wasn't such a hard question to answer, was it?"

"Not for me, ma'am, but you might want to pack a lunch. It's about 2500 miles."

And with another snort, she boarded the train. Wonder if she ever got there?

I still think the stupidest question I was ever asked is, "Are you open until you close?"
