Stupid Directions Trick!
Yesterday, as I walked across the Esplanade, a woman stopped me to ask what time pyro was and where she should watch it from.
Me: "The fireworks show is framed around the castle, so if you're anywhere on Main Street where you have a good view of the castle, you're in a good spot."
Her: "Uhm...ok. ...Which castle? There seem to be quite a few."
Me: "..."
Me: "...the ...big one?"
Her: "Uhm...OK, thanks."

Re: Stupid Directions Trick!
when i did that statistics experiment so many years ago, i asked whose castle it was to people in the park, and i did get "there's a castle?" and "which one?"
the latter would make sense, except for the fact that, despite expectations, there's really only one castle (i actually had to think about that for a while... it seems like disneyland might have an additional castle somewhere...) :D:

Legend: Alligators dwell in the sewers beneath Disneyland.
Truth: There are no sewers below Disneyland, and therefore no alligators in them. The secret tunnels are infested with mutant rats, however.

Re: Stupid Directions Trick!
People think that it's a small world is a castle. I get asked all the time if it's the castle or what's in that castle and other similar questions.smart1hermione wrote:when i did that statistics experiment so many years ago, i asked whose castle it was to people in the park, and i did get "there's a castle?" and "which one?"

And there are those castles as well.Zazu wrote:Just the tiny ones in Storybookland Canal Boats.

Which are roughly the same size as the one at the end of Main St. I can see how a guest who is used to WDW might get confused.Zazu wrote:Just the tiny ones in Storybookland Canal Boats.

Well, you know, we always have the fact that Walt walked in our park. :D:

And you know, Walt wanted Disneyland's castle to look the way it does. ;)
