Is Disney Using Videophones Now?

My father works at Wilderness Lodge, and he and I frequently try to top each other with stupid guest tricks. He won this week:

Seems another CM was at the desk, and when Dad came out for his shift, she was laughing out of control. He finally got her calmed down and asked what had happened. Seems a guest had come up to the desk, had walked down the entire row of CMs (all free and available to assist her) and right up to this particular CM. Before the CM could say anything, the guest announced, "You look like the person I spoke to on the phone!" The CM tried to explain that she didn't ANSWER the phones at all, so it couldn't have been her. The guest just kept insisting, "No, you look like the person I spoke to on the phone!" Apparently the guest is psychic and can "see" the people she talks to on the phone. Or at least, she's seeing something - and I'm not sure I want to know what it is!

Definately! Unless this person was deaf I doubt if they have a videophone. And even then the person the deaf person sees is the interpreter and not the actual person they called. (unless it is direct call to another person with a videophone)

That would require you to have a videophone as well, and we all know you can barely use a computer
:D:

You could call MS, but you would probably call the wrong number at the right time, or the right number at the wrong time.

Then again, she probably has caller ID and wouldn't answer the phone anyway.
