SG drivers

[joanna71985]

There was a funny bit in the (now defunct) Disney Magazine about Celebration. In the article some homeowners talked about tourist wandering into their house and them telling them to leave to witch the tourist replied "oh, we'll be done in a few minutes" an the owners (thankfully) replied "no, this is our home, you'll be leaving now..".

The fact that this was printed in an official Disney publication is kind of telling.

What did they think was in there? A ride?

I remember driving out of MK after our first overnight rehearsal for CTS. We were very tired, but apparently not as tired as the taxi driver ahead of us. We were in the three lane section getting ready to pass the re-entry to MK. I was in the left lane attempting to pass the cab who was driving below the speed limit and weaving about when he slid across all three lanes to go into the re-entry. We were literally a couple of inches from hitting eachother, and would have had I braked even a split second later. My passenger had already gotten the cab number because of his erratic driving, and we wasted no time calling him in. I don't know if he was drunk or just really tired, but either way, he should not have been on the road!

Wow! That is really scary!

They do now!!
Actually I lock mine not so much out of fear of the tourists as of our next door neighbor. She seems like a sweet old lady till she gets drunk on port wine. Then she comes pounding on the back door and you'd better watch out!

She sounds like fun :D:

Oh yeah, she's a riot! We live on a cul de sac off the main drags so it's a great area, and we have the best neighbors (well, most of 'em).

I just love the questions we get asked by tourists. They are under the impression we all get free lifetime WDW APs when we buy our homes, and I had someone very seriously ask me why I would buy a house that I have to return to Disney in 30 years. Sigh! But living close enough to hear the Epcot fireworks every night makes it all worth it.

HA!! That's too funny!!


But that seriously sounds awsome. I can't wait til I can live close enough to hear the fireworks every night.

I can hear the MK fireworks here and if I looked for them I could probably see some of them. Once I hit 535 I can see the top of the Big Toaster for a while until the road curves away and it winds up more behind me than ahead of me.

If you think WDW is bad, try living next door in Celebration! There is a street I pretty much have to take to get home (there is one other way, but MUCH longer). I swear it's an SG magnet (or may ST-Stupid Tourist?). Granted, it's a street of mansions but they're no more exciting and impressive than the mansions back in Chicago. Actually, less impressive because they're on such tiny pieces of property. The STs drive 5 mph (no exaggeration), gaping like they've never seen big houses before. Think they would at least pull over? Heck no! Just mope and gape, mope and gape, the whole way to the end of the street. I turn left at the end, but I've learned not to use my signal if behind a ST because they are lost and will see that, think I know something they don't, and go left too. If I leave my signal off, they seem to default to the right. Some just sit there in a daze, but I've discovered that if I turn on my right signal, those will turn right and then I just turn left and get the heck away from them.

Oh God, How about driving through Isleworth? The SPEED LIMIT is 35... why do they go 12? But the sad part is, I've caught people gawking at a DUNKIN DONUTS BUILDING the same way you'd gawk at Shaq's (unbelievably TACKY) house.
