you don't have to be in WDW to be an SGT

Post by figgeek » Mon Mar 29, 2010 12:38 pm

I've lurked before, but couldn't resist sharing! In our local Sunday paper this weekend, there was a write up on Orlando in the travel section. The columnist writing the article apparently stayed in one of the DTD hotels and used personal transportation. He stated how expensive parking was, especially since he had to pay for parking at both EPCOT and the MK in the same day! Don't most people (especially professionals!) do a little research before they visit the Mouse?

What is this research you speak of? Anyway, as many of us have found, there are SGs everywhere, many of them check their brains at their front door instead of waiting to get to the gates.

anyway, please allow me to offer you a very warm* welcome to the slice of the internet we like to call SGT. This website contains threads with quick twists and turns and we would like to advise you to not try hard to keep up with them. Please keep your hands, arms, and legs safely inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay.

*this instance of warm in more hot** instead of warm

**this instance of hot means that you are now literally on fire, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience

I actually question whether some "professionals" actually visited Disney World after reading their reviews. I swear some of them just regurgitate the guidebooks, no matter how incorrect and out of date.

Most "journalists" are not as interested in the facts, nor as ethical, as our own Syndrome!

I've heard this "check their brains" theory before. I still say it's a stretch to assume that they have brains. :rolleyes:

Yesterday while waiting to return to the break room, the train at New Orleans station had just started to leave when the train conductor haulted the train to a stop. A bunch of stupid cheer leaders decided to climb over their seats and regroup them selves. The conductors told them to remain seated and don't move an inch. :eek:

:confused: Huh? According to Disney, you only have to pay to park in the lots once per day. If you leave the Epcot lot, keep your parking ticket, drive to the MK lot, show the ticket to the CM at the "pay to park hut" and they wave you on through.

Usually those columns are written by a national travel writer, not by a local (of your newspaper), and they usually publish their email address at the end of the article. I would write him and correct him on that, plus any other errors he has made (seriously!). Then again, let him keep making those errors about WDW/DL, etc. That way, people who read his article would think the same idea (Disney is SO expensive! I'm not going there!), and there'll be less SG's in the parks. :twisted: :)
