For one day someone should arrange a bunch of people going to all the parks and ask these stupid queustions to the tourists and see what they say.

The next stupid reality TV show. Anyway this isn't in Orlando but a few years ago I went to Disneyland with my family and I was in line for Indiana Jones. Anyway this family in front of me had two kids probably around 8 and 6years old. I was surprised the kids were going on until I heard the older kid probably about 8 say: "Mommy I don't think this is the Jungle Cruise" really scared( for those of you who don't know Indy and the Jungle Cruise are next to eachother. The Mom and dad insisted that it was the Jungle cruise and to calm down but he kept repeating that until he got to the ride vehicles.Finaly they were seated and the mom and dad kept on repeating it was the Jungle Cruise until the movie started to which the dad said "Honey I think he's right!". Anyway they left and when I saw them later that day he was still telling them "I told you so!"

my husband was at the ttc the other day. there was a lady there who was trying to use universal's comp tkts at the ticket vending machiness to try and get her free ticket into magic kingdom. she then went to one of the vacation planners insisting that she needed her free ticket to get into disney.
While at Universal Studios:
Friend #1: "Where's the Rock 'n Roller Coaster?"
Friend #2: "It's the big red one."

This one isn't Disney related.. But yeah..
At Seaworld a couple weeks ago, I heard someone saying "Let's go see the Schmoo show" Apparently Shamu got renamed.

Standing at a bus stop at a WDW resort: Woman: I've been waiting here for XXXX long and I still haven't seen a bus for my park. Me: What park are you going to? Woman: SeaWorld. Me: Umm, these busses only go to WDW parks. Woman: No, my travel agent told be that by staying at a Disney resort I could use their transportation to go to all of the theme parks. Me: Yeah, but only disney parks. Woman: And Seaworld isn't a Disney park? Obviously you don;t knwo what you are talking about. Then she stomped away, I assume to talk with a CM inside.
I blame alot of this stuff on travel agents. They really don't explain things clearly. My cousin went to WDW last year. His travel agent had him thinking that he could take a boat from POR to all of the parks, that by staying at POR with the dining plan he could walk into any restaurant without a reservation, and that all of the parks were open till midnight. I tried to tell him otherwise but he wouldn't listen. Boy was he surprised and peeved when thay couldn't eat in hte restaurants they wanted.
That is my biggest peeve! If SeaWorld and Universal were part of Disney, they would call it Disney's Universal, and Disney's SeaWorld. Geez. :rant:

One of my best friend's co-workers came back from Universal over Christmastime talking about "The Curious George Ride" and how the "Curious George Ride" was really cool.
Extremely confused, my friend was pressing him about the "ride."
My Friend: "You mean the play area?"
Co-worker: "No, the ride."
My Friend: "There's no ride. There's a ball play area and water stuff."
Co-worker: "Yes, there is. The big tall one that goes through the building that Curious George is holding on to."
He thought the "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" was "The Curious George Ride" because of the Curious George float put up in New York during the holidays.

"Busch Gardens is a great park with many different attractions for everyone, especially the dark ride lovers and those who are afraid of roller coasters."
"I don't ride roller coasters and I'm having a great time at Busch Gardens!"
"I love Busch Gardens"
"Busch Gardens is a quality theme park"

yesturday, I was over in Universal Studios and some guest was walking past the area where the concert would be that night and there were a bunch of those stilt walkers with mardi gras costumes and everything is decked out with mardi gras stuff when you enter the park right, ok well it took this guest until passing all the stilt walkers and french quarter to realize he bought mardi gras tickets and said to his friend, "Oh, *** its mardi gras!" as though it was a bad decision to come there haha.

You should go to a six flags. Before I took my first roller coaster ride, Busch was my favorite park.
On Big Thunder Mountain, at the end.....

I worked at Hersheypark for three years. I got so tired of hearing guests call "Rollersoaker" the "Super Soaker," and "Great Bear" the "Big Bear." Though I did always have fun explaining how "Storm Runner" would close down as soon as a storm was in the area. People would ask, "But, it says Storm Runner right there! So it must 'run' in the rain!" I also once got in an argument with a guest who thought Hersheypark had removed a drop tower from the park... which was explained to be like a 1st generation Intamin drop tower with a themed barn station. No such ride existed there, or possibly anywhere, but the guest was almost screaming at me when he finally gave up.
At Cedar Point, I heard a lot of people ask where to get on Magnum (which until 2009, didn't have an actual big sign at the entrance, only an A-frame sign with the logo and wait time). Also popular, people asking about The Beast (which is at King's Island, another park in Ohio), and of course "Magnum Force" and so on. My favorite is during the "Running of the Bulls" in the morning, when people sprint down the midways to the six or seven rides open early, but literally every day people stood in front of rides not open for another hour, thinking they'd be open.
My favorite was hearing guests repeat rumors that other employees told them... like, "Oh the games guy told me they're moving Space Spiral (observation tower) to the back of the park next year," or rumors of moving just about everything from the then-closing Geauga Lake to Cedar Point. "Oh yeah, they're moving half the park here!"
About a year ago, I overheard a teenager say this to his group on the bus ride over to Universal: "My uncle works for Universal, so he got me on the big new Harry Potter rollercoasters." Really? I would have liked to see this kid try to explain how DD was open that day.

Think you can PM me some links to that information? I'd love to read about it. I've seen a ton of stuff on the other parks, but not a whole lot about Animal Kingdom. Thanks in advance, if I forget to thank you formally. XD
"The wizard world is open! I just saw people go in!!!"
"Nono, ma'am, that was the entrance to the Dragons roller coaster."
"The one in the Hogswarts?"
"...No, the one in the smaller castle that houses the soon-to-be Dragon Challenge."
"Oh..."
I felt bad for her.
