Yesterday afternoon in Tomorrowland.

Guest: Excuse me sir, do you know where Cinderella's Royal Crystal Palace is located? You know, the one with the skewers of meat.

Me: Actually the Crystal Palace and Cinderella's Royal Table are two separate table service restaurants at the Magic Kingdom that do not serve skewers of meat. The restaurant called Ohana's at the Polynesian Resort offers those for dinner.

Guest: Oh, okay. I guess I'll just head over there then. Do you think I need a reservation?

Sounds like a legitimate question. May have been a newbie or just confused.
Back in 07,I was standing in line for Pirates,when the guy behind me asked,"What's this line for?", at first I was thinking SG moment,but I gave him the benefit of a doubt and explained it to him. He starts talking to the rest of his group in German or Austrian. The only part I caught was Johnny Depp. They were in the same boat I was,and at the end of the ride they were all smiles. :cool:

Yeah, sounds like a first timer to me as well. If I'd never been to WDW, I can imagine how overwhelmed I'd feel, particularly if I hadn't done any research prior to my trip.

Do you mean 'a steak on a stake'? :confused:
That sounds like our last camping trip. (or was it marshmallows on a coat-hanger?) :cool:

Steak on a stake is a piece of meat on a long skewer.

Story time!

Once upon a time, a writer came up with a neat little science fiction short story, all about a human writing a report on a recent happening on a planet where the inhabitants were all sentient plant life, while the "trees" were actually immobile primitive animals. Their had been a recent rash of attacks, where the victims were all drained of their sap. When they caught this "sap-sucker" and killed it, several superstitious-types demanded that a certain precaution be taken: it was to be buried with a steak through its heart.

When the story was publishes, an over-eager editor caught the "spelling mistake", corrected it, and ruined the pun.
