Park Maps & You

I've never worked for Disney, probably never well, but as a guest...I've noticed some weird stuff:
One year while visiting the WDW resort, Magic Kingdom to be exact, while waiting in line for Space Mountain (this was about a year after the "new" Tomorrowland was just completed for Disneyland in 98)...and there was a group of 4 teenagers ahead of me, about three or five heads ahead...and there was a CM standing there, probably making sure no one would jump ahead in line...
I'm going to interrept this the way I remember it best, and may not be the exact things they said.
Guest #1 (The Blond One) to the CM: Excuse me, I can't seem to find a ride I've been looking for all day.
CM to Guest #1: Sure, I'll be glad to help.
Guest #1 to the CM: I've looked all over Tomorrowland, and I can't find Rocket Rods.
CM to Guest #1: Um, I'm sorry, but you're mistaken; Rocket Rods is in Disneyland.
Guest #2 (Appeared to be Guest #1's brother) to Guest #1: Show him the map!
Guest #1 pointing to parkmap, to CM: See, Rocket Rods is right there on the map!
CM takes good look at map...to Guest #1 and #2: I see what your probably is...this map is from Disneyland...this is The Magic Kingdom, here at Walt Disney World.
Guest #2 to CM: But we rode it earlier this year! Did you guys move it to Disneyland?
CM to Guest #2: No...we have never had Rocket Rods here at Walt Disney World.
Guest #1 to Guest #2: Sh*t...let's go...
And all four just stormed out of the line...I remember looking at the CM and just grinning and laughing my ass off...
