Stupid Guest Tricks

...I didn't know what else to say! Earlier this week, my friend and I were heading into Haunted Mansion, and a couple with a little boy overheard us talking and asked if we had ridden it before. When we answered in the affirmative, they asked if it might be too scary for their little guy. He looked like he'd probably be able to handle it; in trying to think how to describe it, I blurted out, "Really, it's more cute than scary." The words left my mouth just as we passed one of the butlers. In perfect character, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Cute?" in the most withering tone! My friend was absolutely cracking up, and I (for once) was speechless. She ribbed me about it for the rest of the day...it was one of those moments where you just had to be there. ;)

(And I think the little boy did okay...he didn't freak in the stretching room, and I didn't hear any screams on the ride. I did, however, hear a person next to us who was obviously well versed in Disney trivia tell her companion, "This is an elevator, you know.")

Well, I don't know about Florida, but in California, the E.R.'s (expanding rooms) are not technically elevators: the bottom parts of the rooms are hydrolic platforms and the upper portions of the rooms are on cables like elevators, so when you get the couples arguing that the room is going up/down they both win because the California ER's are going both ways.

WDW's Stretching Rooms don't have any movement of the floor. It's all done with the ceiling stretching.

Yes, I was being facetious about the elevator...I always love the Disney "experts" and their "facts."

or when they come out going "those were good holograms."

"they aren't holograms."

"sure they aren't : :"

Isn't it impressive what 1968 technology could do?
