How about people calling it "Epscott" or today, the "Escargot Center". When they get viciously angry at you because they came past the 12-foot-wide signs and up the ramp to the wrong platform? Getting mad because they've ridden around the express beam five times and not once did that monorail stop at the Grand Floridian. Yep, I got that one.

At least the express beam goes thru the Grand. I once had a guest on the WDW Railroad who did three laps before asking how much longer before the train got to Universal Studios!

Last night the brat was at the front area running loose and screaching. She tears through the restaurant and behind the counter. Almost knocked the hostess down. SHUT UP and leash your brats.

Wow. That's pretty sad!

That deserves a *Slicker snicker* :hysteria:

Don't people READ about these places before they travel? Actually, don't people read anymore AT ALL????

It never ceases to amaze me that people actually take vacations to a place without knowing ANYTHING about the place they are going, but you would think that those who go to a Disney location would check out at least some info, like the packet of pamphlets and Park maps and brochures they get when they book a package. ALL the info is there. Do they even look at it?
How could anyone go on vacation without even knowung one thing about where they are going? :rolleyes: Scary! SGs!!!

The Princess of all that is satisfactory

I agree, this baffles me more than anything. Like the story (posted here some time ago) about the couple who went to Epcot, rode Spaceship Earth, and then left, not realizing that there's anything more to the park!!! :eek: :rolleyes:

I was just reading a comment in the Orlando Sentinel (online) from a woman who "didn't check the weather" before coming to the Magic Kingdom. Can you say "Fay"? :eek:


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