So now I'm picturing the chariot scene from Ben Hur only it's going down Main Street and it's 2 soccor Moms in a race to the death. :twisted:

I had three not-small friends whose goal was to get all three of them inside the phone booth on the Streets of America in DHS and close the door. (Which was tricky, as it's a bi-fold door that takes up interior space when folding open) It took 3 or 4 minutes to get the proper order figured out (smallest person last), but they succeeded. :)
Needless to say, this phone booth is now bolted shut... ;)

Yeah, but the door opens outward on that one... Far less of a challenge. :)

There's also one in Canada and I believe it still works. I know for sure the ones in the UK Pavilion (there's two, I'm pretty sure) are actual, working payphones.

I'm somehow disappointed to hear that.

Great! Now, not only will folks be able to see how many people can get in it, Mr. Kent has a place to change in and out of his uniform! :cat1:

The Canada one worked... at least *before* the D23 scavenger hunt had its way with it.

As the spiel goes: 2 or 3 to a buggy. Basically however many you feel can fit comfortably.

I've done 4. 3 skinny adults and one 8 month old baybay.
As for grouping stories....
I remember grouping at Mummy many years ago. It was 4 to a row( four rows of four). A group of 5 pre teen boys approach, so I say the old 3 in row 3 and 2 in row four. Once they entered the grouped rows, the realized " We are not riding together". The two duck into row 3. So not I have 5 people in row 3. Gates open, boys enter, 4 sit down, one with a duh look on his face. Load CM realizes what happened, directs the single boy to the empty row 4. The boy just stared at him and shook his head no, so the CM shook his head and closed the gates (to avoid a SM like "cascade"). Car pulls away, kid looks at me sad, like I grouped them wrong. Oh well, should've listened.
