I have 2 to add to this list:

A bunch of high school grads were bragging that there was a bowling aley under Its a Small World. Dang! I did not know that. SG, pass the drugs to the cast members.

Then I over heard a guest asking a Toontown cast member is Cinderella's Castle located in Chip and dal's tree house? That must be a big castle in such a small space.

I have to add another one. A guest asked a cast member pointing at Chip and Dale's tree house if it was the tree of life and wanted to go and see a Bugs Life. That has to be the most lost guest in the world. :rolleyes:

Even more lost than the guest who asked me where how to get to Animal Kingdom one time I was working the merchandise cart just inside the train station and they had just entered the park.

What about the guest that asked me how to get to the Shamu Show from the entrance to Kilimanjaro Safaris? (their eyes glazed over at about "Osceola Parkway")

ROFLMAO! I have got to learn how to give directions to all the different destinations just so when someone asks me a stupid question like that I can tell them exactly how to get there.

To get to Sea World all I know is you go down I-4 East and follow the signs.

Hell, the main way I know how to get to Animal Kingdom from the Magic Kingdom is a back road that guests aren't supposed to go down. I'm getting better but I haven't done enough driving around property to learn my way around without depending heavily on the signs.

Don't forget the classic directions to Magic Mountain....

Didn't think it was true that we could do that....but while working Nemo GC, I've had it happen quite a few times.

"Where's Magic Mountain."

Normally I grin and say "Straight north on the 5...but it's going to take a while to get there..." before asking them which mountain they're really looking for. 9 times out of 10 it's the Matterhorn, which we're normally standing near the base of.

I remember someone posted here on SGT that a SG at MK asked for directions to Magic Mountain and they gave the SG directions to drive clear across the country.

When I lived in Oregon, I used to love the commercials that would come on advertising that Six Flags was closer than Disney parks.

From Portland, that's closer by about 30 miles. Funny, half an hour's drive after a 961 miles doesn't seem like all that much.

Yup, that was me, and when they swore at me for suggesting one of the mountains in Florida, that's exactly what I did -- I gave them directions to Six Flags Magic Mountain.

They even thanked me for it, and that was *after* I suggested they stop at Pecos Bills and grab a lunch to-go since it was about 2500 miles! :oweye:

Still qualifies as one of the ten worst questions I ever heard in the Parks.

Their eyes glazed over that quickly? Osceola Parkway is just outside DAK's front gate! What did you do, give detailed directions on how to get to the guest parking lot from KSR?

I was the person who was in City Hall and me and the CM got this weird look on our faces like watch talking about. Asian dude asks how to get to Magic Mountain not The Magical Mountain. The CM gave clear instructions on how to get to the 5 freeway then to go north. No no no the magical mountain. I think he pulled out a map.
