Stupid Guest Tricks

I get asked where the bathroom and the smoking area a few hundred times a day just like everyone else.

My favorites questions/comments I get asked

"Where are the rides?" or "Which way to the rides?"

"So do I hop on that train up there now to get to the rides?"

"We are having breakfast in the castle, where is that?"

"Does this train take me to Epcot?" This one is usually followed by the I swear I took this train to other parks last time.

"Where is the Animal Kingdom Monorail?"

"Where can I buy a fastpass"

and lastly

My friend told me to go to city hall to get a card that lets me use the fastpass lane. Where is that?

I can not believe I forgot these

'Where is a good place to watch the parade?"

"Where is a good place to watch the fireworks"

That Fastpass thing is a puzzle to me. Nowhere is it written that it cost money for a Fastpass. Just last week a person I didn't know spotted me wearing some WDW apparel and told me so excitedly that they were going to WDW for the first time in December.

We chatted for a little while and I told her how many times I have been and she was impressed. Her kids were kinda young so I recommended that she go to the Disney site and see what was available for young children. Then I recommended that they get Fastpasses for some of those rides and save some time. Her response was...Oh, we are on a really tight budget and we don't have the money to spend $20.00 for each Fastpass. That was a new one to me...I had heard about it being a paid for thing but the $20.00 number had never been mentioned. She wouldn't tell me where she heard that it cost that, and she couldn't remember. I corrected her and she was very happy about that. I then re-recommended doing some only searching and a little planning before they went. Come back and see me if she had any questions.

I bet some people are confusing the front of the line pass Universal offers with the Disney fast pass. The Universal pass costs money, but it can be used instantly and as many times as you want.

Thats probably it.

I had co-workers who have never been ask me, since most figure out I have been there a few times!

I stopped trying after someone swore that they were going to Disneyland and go to epcot the next day. I figured they got a bit confused thinking that both parks were named disneyland and asked them which hotel they were going to stay in and they said the Disneyland hotel in anaheim!

I told her the difference, but she said I was wrong.

just not worth trying to teach a pig to sing!

I can understand this being a valid question these days since Disney is the only park to offer a system like FastPass that is free to use. Everyplace else (Busch Gardens, Cedar Fair, Six Flags, Universal, Ect) all charge to use their system or "Front of the line Access". Busch and Cedar Fair are the more decent of these two, Six Flag is just outrageous in how much they want for theirs.

So it really is a valid question when you realize not everyone is a local and knows better ;)

You wouldn't think so from the way I've been treated selling Fast Lane...

Compared to Six Flags Great Adventure? Yeah, it's CHEAP!

Oh, I just mean the way guests react to $60, you'd think we were confiscating their children or something.
