So I had a guest come up to me with a paper that had a number with the 310 area code on it. He asked if he could make this call from his room. I said he could, but since our area code is 714, it would be considered a long distance call.
He then asked me if this call would be long distance while inside Disneyland.
Ummm...the first thing I wanted to say was, "No sir. Area codes and times zones do not exist in Disneyland!"
But of course I said that Disneyland is in Orange County and most of it is 714, so yes it would still be considered a long distance call.
He said ok and walked over to his wife. I hear him saying to her as he's holding his cell phone, "Well honey, I don't think I can make this call since we're in California and our cells are for Utah. We will have to find a pay phone."
He walked out before I could say anything..
What area code is Disneyland??

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

When I made a phone call on my cell phone home from WDW, yes, we were charged for long distance call and roaming charges too.

Re: What area code is Disneyland??
Maybe he has a special cell phone that only dials Utah phone numbers?
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: What area code is Disneyland??
I wonder if he had a limited use cell. They advertise cell phones with LARGE buttons and numbers, and can be made to only dial certain numbers?
OR
He is not that clear on the concept!!
