I had a guest ask me where's Disneyland and "Adventureland" (DCA). Ummm...I wouldn't go so far as to call it that. :p:

Ahh come on LDC. It would 'be' an adventure trying to figure out how to spend a 'whole' day at DCA. :D:

(other than spending the whole day at the beer cart) :rolleyes:

Slightly OT - but seeing the title made me think of every time we go to MK at WDW, I see the old loading docks for the Swan boats. Which I loved but never got to ride in the 70s because my parents didn't want to. Not that I'm bitter . . .
My 17 year old daughter can now answer the question I always pose "Do you know what they used to have?" "Swan boats!"

Reading these threads makes me want to ask stupid questions just to see if they make it here. I'll have to come up with a few questions, and then photograph the CM and associate the question using complex algorithms and post it notes.

I've considered doing that myself... but it seems like we'd be up against a tidal wave of actual stupidity, and the odds would not be good that our questions would make it here. I mean, I think I'm a pretty creative guy, but I doubt I could come up with the mindbogglingly :eek: stupid things we read about on this site!!

I don't know, if we were to harness the power of google, and toss around some creative ideas, I'm sure we could come up with a few good ones!

Can I help, I have probably asked every stupid question possible except for a dozen or so.

Why no CM's? I have seen an off the clock CM make be an SG and they probably know many of the best SG tricks.

At Disneyland they used to have a tram to the hotel area which meant a mile hike. The other tram did the main parking lot behind DCA. There was taxis in the corner and hotel shuttles right across the main pedestrian area.

Despite CM's and guests pointing out that the person was getting on the wrong tram the person would ride all the way around the parking lot then wonder why they were not at the hotel or why they were at the hotel instead of the other parking lot.

I once met a man who insisted the monorail stopped in front of Disneyland.

Well, we need to be as original as possible. The CM's would have a leg up on us :)

Although CM's COULD make suggestions to make stories better. Even using us SG's as a way to pull pranks on fellow CM's...

I'll start a new thread in a bit :twisted:
