Disney Guests Really Asked That? Dumb and Silly Questions - Confessions of a Theme Park Worker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 кві 2020
- If you work at a theme park, you're going to get asked a lot of silly, dumb, and just incredibly stupid questions. A lot. And especially at Disney! These are ALL real questions and conversations I had while a cast member at Walt Disney World and the answers I (sometimes) gave or wished I could give when they were asked. Hold onto your sides and get ready to laugh- and admit that all of us have asked these same questions ourselves at various times...
A behind the scenes look at what a former worker at Disney World, Silver Dollar City, and Busch Gardens Florida experienced in his time working at the parks. From driving large safari trucks around live wild animals while cracking one silly joke after another, to spending 5 years as a #PhotoPass photographer at #WaltDisneyWorld and seeing and experiencing all sorts of things, to being a conductor and #trainrobber on the famous Frisco Silver Dollar Line at #SilverDollarCity. With 10 years of working in the parks, there's lots of stories to tell. Here is some of them...
Not only did I work in theme parks for 10 years, I've visited a whole lot of them as well. Here's some stories of great visits, not so great visits, favorites, reviews, and much more.

Yes, every single story and questions in this is true. None of the questions are made up or exaggerated (the answers, yes, but not the questions)
Here's my answer to air conditioner head: I have an air conditioner in my head but do you have one in your head then I'll tell you if the character has one in his head ok
I worked at Kings Island, at a food place selling BBQ food and I had some ask do you have BBQ Sauce. Then I had another guest ask me where they could get a stroller and the stroller booth was right behind them. I have also had guests ask me where the Haunted Mansion was before. We have a ride called Boo Blasters in Boo Hill. I seriously feel your pain.
I love the Dumb Question Videos. It's so funny. Is this a new one, or is it a rerun? I have seen a bunch of your videos on this subject. I know I have seen one with you playing both parts.
@@rwalkertrs1 It's all new video. I don't republish videos. I have done some of the material in this video in the past- particularly in my first 10 videos from 4 years ago. But there's also a large portion that is new and original content as well.
Thank you for the heads up. I listen to your channel every night when I go to bed, so I see some of it but I listen more than half of the time. These are always funny.
Thank you for your hard work.
I was given a magical moment with my baby niece and it still warms my heart. Her favorite ride was shut down during our fast pass time. She was in tears. I promised her that we could come back, but she was just so heartbroken. And a cast member have us 3 passes each that could be used anywhere. We went and got a treat and the ride came back up and she got to ride 3 times in a rose. She was squealing in delight and found the cast member and hugged him. It made her day truly amazing.
Aww that's so sweet 🥰
I used to work at the Zoo in Toronto, and everyday I would be asked "where are the animals?"
At those points your answer want to say: "I'm really sorry, they are running late. Last time I checked, they were in Vancouver, playing poker." But alas, in service-jobs, you want your paycheck at the end of the day, so you can't be a smart-ass. Unless you have another job lined up, because service-jobs were you deal with customers all day, does take a toll on your sanity after a while.
Did u ever answer all around u?
Guest: What time is the 3 o’clock parade
CM: 3 am
Guest: *goes to Magic Kingdom at 3 AM only to be told by security park opens at 9AM* I was told the parade is at 3 AM
Security Guard: Um... The parade is at 3 PM, not 3 AM
ThomasRosieFan2 2pm
“How do we get out of this park?”
“You don’t. Welcome to the Disney Dungeon”
Love it
Oh my! How much this reminds me of my own job at a hotel! "Where's the ocean?" "Uh, across the street...the big blue wet thing." Thanks for the video!
😂 Why I'm afraid to work in a hotel near the beach. Because I know I'd be fighting myself not to be snarky as hell and then probably get fired.
One of the biggest laughs I had to suppress was when I has a shift at the Studios and a guest asked me "what time is Orgasmic?"
Couldn't help with that one.
I don't know if I couldn't resist laughing hard in their face on that one. That's hilarious.
"Oi! Mr. Gandalf! Can't you do something about this deluge?"
"It is raining, and it'll continue to rain until the rain is done!"
I have a cousin that use to work in Magic Kingdom When I found out she was working in WDW i asked which park she was working and she would just tell me I work at the park that has the Castle. I had to tell her she worked in Magic Kingdom I couldn’t believe she couldn’t say the name She didn’t work too long
2:50 Epcot to Magic Kingdom with a bus? Do you want to get them even more lost! Hahaha
joop1991 caught that also. My thought with that is pawn the guest off on someone else as explaining the Monorail and the transfer would confuse them more.
Guest gets off at the TTC (Ticket and Transportation Center): "I still don't see the castle. Where is it?!"
Remember back around 2006 or so when guests would see the penguin(s) from Mary Poppins and think they were from Happy Feet?
oh my, yes! LOL
Guest: Give me a magic moment!
Cast Member: That's not how magic moments work!
I understand the bathroom and exit questions. I always have a hard time finding my way out of Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. As for the bathrooms Disney would take the gold medal if making small signs that blend in to their surrounding extremely well were an olympic event. I've had to ask where the nearest bathroom is for bathrooms that I've used in the past or knew from the map were there.
I take it you didn't notice the background on the bathroom and first aid segments. :-)
Ah man, the "do you work here" question part really makes me wonder just how many workers in grocery stores I've upset by asking-
Of course it's super obvious with the costumes and flashy clothes in Disney, but some of the neutral-colored photographer shirts still looked like something any random dad of the park could be wearing from a distance.
I have really bad social anxiety so my first question to someone who I think may be a worker is "do you work here" as to not be mistaken and embarrass anyone. You also never know if someone's on their way to break and may have to get someone else to help you instead, which I've seen a lot in outlet stores. By asking it also helps not come off as entitled to their service instead of right out asking "help me with this", at least that's what goes through my mind. Maybe I just overthink though, I guess it's just a way to be extra sure/polite. 😅
I actually once thought Sea World Orlando was part of Disney World. That was long before I was an enthusiast.
Guest: excuse me where can i see Mortimer mouse and why is his cousin there instead(points at mickey mouse)
Worker:mortimer doesn't like people so mickey comes out here cause he enjoys seeing the guest and gives me my paycheck
As a former cast member, I have been asked so many questions which, after you answer politely, and after they leave, make you shake your head!
I work at a casino in food service, in our deli and our employee dining. Some of the common questions I got while working in the deli were: where’s the bathroom/do you have a bathroom in here? After they looked right where the silverware was, the common question: “excuse me, can I get a fork/knife/spoon/napkin?” Before they revamped our menu, our burgers and chicken sandwich took the longest when made fresh to order, typically 15 mins or so. We inform them of this when they order but shortly after they order, they either come up to ask “where’s my food/what’s talking so long” or when we walk past with another order “where’s my food/what’s taking so long/how did they get their food before me, I ordered before them”. Sometimes when I got asked that, I’d often be funny when I could tell that they were in a good mood/drunk/or semi regulars, my answer would be “well you see we keep a farm up on the roof and someone had to catch, kill, and butcher the animal first.”
Regarding the 3 o’clock parade question: I did sorta ask that question at Shanghai Disneyland. I was waiting for the parade to start (near the beginning of the parade route). It did not start. I waited a good ten minutes before I asked a cast member (via broken English, pointing to the relevant Chinese print on the guide map and pointing to my watch showing it was well past start time). Basically the cast member indicated he did not know and couldn’t offer an explanation. I shrugged (he tried and was nice about it) and waited for the parade. It started 20 minutes late. Par for the course for China but very un-Disney-like.
There is a reason I try to be extra nice to every CM, especially if they just had one of those questions...
I am going to explain the exit question. I got a little disoriented at Animal Kingdom one time, and I was a little lost looking for the exit was. I had a map I could not place where I was, on map. I found this “nice” photo pass photographer to take me and my brother towards the exit - 400 yards from his position which was close to the exit.
I understand being lost.
It's the ones that are looking at the entrance/ exit, and then asking because that's the entrance, not the exit, that I'm really confused by.
my dad one time at Disney when they painted the castle to look like a cake for one of the anniversaries of the castle, my dad thought it really was a cake, so he actually did try to take a bite of it
I can understand people asking how to get out of the park. It’s a very simple thing... They cant remember where they came in at. My sister-in-law is someone like that. Our first trip to Disney we handed her a map so she could find everything. She forgot why she had it an threw it away then got mad at us because she couldn’t find anything. We gave her another map the next morning. She threw that one away in less than 5 minutes. After the app came out, things got much easier.
It's the ones that have argued with me that it can't be the exit because that's where they came in... :-)
Disney Food and BeveragesCM. I've had one guest ask where the pastries are when they're standing literally over them, many many ask where the chicken line is even when their literally under a giant sign, had multiple ask "Is the pot roast chicken?" and the first ever clueless guest I remember got a chicken alfredo pasta plate and only after I finish the plate does he ask "This is vegetarian, right?" 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I made a mistake of watching this video. Had my surgery Monday and laughing hurts!!!😂😂😂. It’s sounds so unbelievable unless you worked there. Parked in main lot at Epcot to find the car next to me was left running.......with no people in it.
sorry to make you hurt. sort of. hope you get to feeling better soon!
Oh wow 😱! The question about whose the mouse in the suit? Cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪
Rachel D. I mean really, if you don’t know the Disney characters or if you were never introduced to them as a kid, at least look them up!🤦🏽♂️😆
This video is so funny, please make more of these in the future 😂
I come back all the time to this specific video because I love the question and green screen videos. My throat hurts from laughing.
I love when you do these types of videos
Heard many of those as well and one that I kept getting asked while working in Magic Kingdom with PhotoPass had to do with the cable that ran from the castle to Tomorrowland. I told some guests that with all the sink holes in Florida the castle started leaning backwards so the cable is keeping it straight. While working in the Camera Shop at Epcot someone came in asking where Spaceship Earth was. Too bad right outside the doors there were 2 big signs that said Spaceship Earth and the ramp leading into it.
people dont ask that question, do they??? YES THEY DO!
As someone who works at Silver Dollar City.
I get asked stuff like this ALL THE TIME LOL. There's people who thought that Outlaw Run was the entrance to the train and people who asked if I worked there while I was operating a ride. Too funny
It astonishes me that people will spend a couple thousand dollars on a vacation, but they won’t sit down and do less than an hour of research to make sure they know where they are going and what is there. I know most of the parks like the back of my hand and I still comb through the site to make sure I’m up to date on rides that are being refurbished, what shows are going on, and what special snacks may be around. How can people save up for a vacation at Disney, take the time to book it, spend sometimes multiple thousands, arrive, and THEN and ONLY THEN figure out it’s not the right park. It’s not that hard. Not to mention the parks at WDW are pretty self explanatory even for those who know nothing, with the exception of EPCOT. Right now I’m on Disney groups on FB and people seem to think Disney is controlling the COVID stay home orders. Yes, it’s a magical place, but reality and logic still exist!!
Nikki Mirhosseyni There are so many FB Groups surrounding Disney that I have wittled it down to 3 that I follow. There are a couple of really nasty groups and others with too many amateurs. The question that most drives me nuts is how is the weather for a specific week they will be there! I roll my eyes when they use the caveat “for those that have been there at the time they are going”. Aarrgghh!!
I saw one comment on a news article about Disney+ from someone that was convinced Disney created the virus to drive up subscriptions to their streaming service. Apparently oblivious of the fact that the parks are far and away the biggest profit makers for the park and having them closed is not a good thing.
The question how do you get out of this park? The reason people ask this question is because the park is so big that people could get lost, especially when it gets dark.
It's also hard to find your way around in the dark.
And it’s a different point of view leaving than it was coming in.
A lot of this can be applied to my job. I work at a casino as a slot attendant. These are just some of the things I’ve encountered. Of course I never said things like this to guests.
1. Don’t ask me if I work here if I have my uniform on, including belt, name tag, money and such.
2. If I look like I am in a hurry with a fat wad of cash in my hand, don’t try to stop me and get in my way.
3. Look with your eyes, the bathroom and the restaurants are in all 4 corners of our small casino and one is right behind you.
4. Don’t ask me for a drink, I am not a cocktail waitress. And on that note, don’t think you’ll get you alcohol free, you have to play to get the drink. So technically you’re still paying it.
5. Don’t fight with the attendants on what machines we have and where, this is our second home so we know everything.
6. You spun you $20 all at once cuz you are on a 5c denomination. No we cannot give you back your money. Pay attention.
7. Give me your social security number, otherwise you will not be able to get your jackpot and you will not be happy when we have to give you a slip to come back with all the documents within the year.
8. No one under 21! Why do you think you can cut through with your 3 kids?
9. Don’t get mad at me when you don’t have your ID or won’t give it to me to check your age and I kick you out.
10. Don’t cry to me when all your money is gone. Please go to Gamesince and seek help.
20:38 Probably thought he found the train station LOL 😆
Worked Retail for 15 years and I've got many similar questions! Working at Staples I would help people find inkjet cartridges so I'd say, "Who makes it and model number?" One lady actually told me, "Oh Wow I don't remember. Hey, I bought it from you 6 months ago don't you remember?" "Mam I deal with 200 to 300 people a day I'm lucky to remember what I had for Breakfast!"
When I was around six I used to think there was a dome over Disney but I was not a grown ADULT!!
The only way I can see this being acceptable is if you are a special needs individual. Most adults should have enough common sense to know there's no dome over Disney 😅
1. The "Where to exit?" I can sort of get. I know that EPCOT, California Adventure, and Cedar Point all have at least two entrances. However, they should still remember where they came in, it'll probably be the way you come out too!
2. I have definitely gotten pins without trading, but I never asked! I can't believe how rude and entitled some people are.
3. I've definitely asked where the bathroom was and then realized, "DOH!", it's right in front of me. Many times. Oops.
4. I could tell you had to stop yourself from laughing too hard at the First Aid bit, lol.
When I worked at Busch Gardens Tampa, I was asked by a guest if we still had "that wild west roller coaster." I wish I made that up!
“Excuse me miss, where’s the bathroom?”
-Almost every guest asks me, with a big sign saying RESTROOMS like two feet away
That was me last year. I was standing behind a counter and the guest goes "excuse me where's the bathroom?". They came through the entrance which was right next to the bathrooms with a huge sign that said RESTROOMS positioned at an angle so it was easy to see walking in. They walked right past it.
I'm fairly optimistic, but seeing how many people will believe that cast members are trying to mess with them/don't know what they're talking about/some other fantastical explanation before considering that they themselves might be wrong, lord that really dents my faith in humanity XS
"Is anything free at Disney?"
..... oxygen? Fun? Sun/rain/storms/heat? Haha.
I hope you're doing well in these times. I know it's chaotic and I hope we can have fun again sometime soon.
Also good evil laugh!
Thank you Sir Willow for posting. As a grocery store worker. (Kroger) They are great to watch after a 8 hr shift. Yes even in these crazy times we get some.stupid question. I smile and answer their questions.
I’ll love these videos very funny
You know it is a two way street. I love going to young cm’s and ask for direction to extinct attractions. Mentioning the Mike Fink Keel Boats, Dreamflight, or even 20,000 Leagues they just give you blank stares, they have no clue
One time at Epcot I heard someone say “where’s Pepe le pew?”
I would have probably said this: “Pepe Le Pew’s Warner Bros. Sorry, wrong company.” Geez, know which company the character is even from before you ask some dumb character question like that!
I love your videos and I can totally see people saying that.
Awesome
Haha excuse me do you work here? No I just dress up like this all the time, here’s your sign.🤣
Yup. Ive recently become a trainer at wdw and im gonna show these videos to my trainees so they can mentally prepare. Can't tell you how many times I've thought a guest is joking with me. "Where is the tree of life?" As im taking their picture IN FRONT of the tree of life
I did ask where is the exit once because my sense of direction got so turned around I was lost. Sometimes you are just so tired that thinking isn't possible.
I can’t wait tell you can start doing meet and greats again
I volunteer for three steam tourists railroads in the UK and we get asked a lot where's Thomas The Tank Engine or the Flying Scotsman (if you don't know that is the most famous steam locomotive in Britain ).
And some people can be hard to deal with sometimes lol
My favorite thing that happened with one guest....lol I was with my family walking toward what was the animation/drawing class (cant think of the actual name of it but its the Star Wars Launch Bay now) and a Disney Jr character came walking by and I hear this kids dad say "Look its Dora!" I mumbled something grumpy under my breath about how stupid that was and kept on walking.
Now I really want to work at Disney just to hear these questions.
A couple years back I was a silver dollar city around Christmas in this family was trying to go on the Lost river of the ozarks.
Haha! I say Chip and Dip but I’m aware it’s wrong and I just have fun!
I often got the where’s the exit question when I did the water carts on Main Street. Most of the time they mean “where did I come in from?” It can be confusing traversing the parks when you’re new there.
As someone who worked for Seaworld, we got just as many and equivalent questions too haha, you should tell them if they ever ask about 'we paid for the ticket we should get free food' to go to Discovery Cove.
I was an EMT in a beach city. Every summer without fail, tourists would stop at the ambulance and ask us where the beach was. This was while we we were sitting in a parking lot right next to the water watching the water!
Ok I've been in retail for over 35 years.People asked me that Ll the time when I had on an apron ,vest and name badge.We would refer the people coming into the store at open as the March of the morons
20:40 I bet when he walked around the train station he told his kids the castle was the train station
I love new years at Epcot ..and New Years Evs Eve at the magic kingdom with crowds and leaving the park
At Disney Springs, there are three parking garages, a boat dock, two Uber/Lyft pickup/drop off zones and two bus depots. So yeah, I understand the “how do we get out of here”…still get annoyed by that question
I know this video is on the older side, but I was watching to see if you were going to mention my own personal pet peeve and you said it; PEOPLE ASKING HOW TO EXIT. Yes I get it, sometimes the place can be so large and overwhelming you may lose your place but you have no idea how many games of 20 questions in order to get the guest to remember where they entered and how to guide them there, because telling me "HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE??" does not help me help you get what you need. And the game of 20 questions go something like this...
1. Did you came here in your own car and parked in the garages or parking lots? If yes, I ask what they first saw, and USUALLY they will remember and then I give them the directions
2. Did you use the Disney buses? If yes, again, give them directions
3. Did you stay in a good neighbor hotel like Hilton? If yes, direct them to where the good neighbor hotel buses drop
4. Did you came via rideshare? If yes, tell them where the rideshare areas are
5. Did you use public transportation? Again, directions
But even if you ask all of these questions you WILL get guests that will have NO IDEA what you are talking about and just walk away...only to come back more frustrated because they forgot to take pictures of where they parked or try to remember how they entered. Like we have phones that can take photos; how hard is it to take a picture of where you were dropped off or you parked so you can use as reference at the end of your day??
I’ve definitely asked where a bathroom was while standing next to one! Super embarrassing!
4:18 There is a bus between Disney World and Seaworld! You have to take the Lynx bus 50 from the TTC to Seaworld. (we have done so the last time we were there)
I'm guessing that's new compared to when I was there. I don't think they had a bus running like that when I worked there
@@SirWillow It isn't the quickest way. The bus takes around 40 minutes, with a car/uber/Lyft it is around 20 minutes. But the bus is way cheaper.
Hehe. Chale and Dale
After rewatching this video, a thought occurred to me about the guy wanting to know where the Haunted Mansion was. It's very possible that he was expecting the Haunted Mansion in Disney world to look exactly the same as the original one in Disneyland, and that's why he "couldn't find it", and possibly also the reason why he got so upset with you. He probably thought you were messing with him at first, because he wasn't expecting that version of the attraction (At least the show building) to be so different looking. Still, it was so funny how you sent around a big chunk of the park to get there 😂
"Yes, Mickey is a boy. That's why he's dating Minnie."
Well, he's also just...straight, as far as the canon has ever told us.👀
HA, when I took my FIRST trip to Disney World back in 86 (I think it was), I bought a guide book, and knew EXACTLY what I wanted to see, and what I didn't want to see (to save time). IF I had gone WITHOUT reading that book first, I would have been so confused, I admit it. :-O But anyway, I'm so glad I did because I had a very nice 4-day vacation instead of wasting time at places and rides I didn't really care about. AND BY THE WAY, it was late November, so it wasn't crowded, and Christmas decorations were already up.
I work at a grocery store and at times I get asked just really dumb questions. I really want to say at those times "How can you be so stupid?"
We should all wear Sir Willow shirts when we are finally able to go back to Disneyland! We were supposed to go this summer, but now it's closed. Maybe in the winter.
I would love to see photos of that!
I wonder whet theese guest's live are like outside the parks
What do you mean I need to pay for my groceries?
What do you mean I need to were pants?
Wheres my house?
Burger King? Give me a big mac
LOL reminds me of when I worked at a Taco Bell that was next door to a Burger King. At least once a night we'd have someone come through the drive through that thought they were next door and wanting to order burgers.
As stupid as the bit may sound at minute marker 17 minuets is all so true. My wife used to be a supervisor at TTC (ticket and transport center) and she DID actually have someone want their money back! It was raining like crazy when they bought their tickets and then got all the way to the Magic Kingdom and came back. Their claim is that this is DISNEY and it is not supposed to rain! We want out money back!!! She sent them to the Guest Services (which also meant they had to go all the way BACK across the lake!) Now in my unit and most of the people I worked with at EPCOT and MAGIC KINGDOM had a saying that we used when we REALLY got stupid people that pissed us off. HAVE A DISNEY DAY! (it is an insider joke that we are telling you F**k you !)
So if anyone ever says Have a DISNEY DAY you now know what it means. Also I was the candy maker on Main Street for years and you are 1000% correct that the most common question is "what time does the 3 o'clock parade start?" My standard answer was it starts by Frontier Land at 3 PM and arrives here in front of the Candy Store at 3:18 - but you always still get the question what time does it start?
So to all the people that ask the really stupid questions HAVE A DISNEY DAY!. The laundry called and your brain is ready to be picked up
We always said, "Have a magical day," when I was there, and that was pretty much the only version I heard. I didn't hear the, "Have a Disney day" until later on. I'd be curious as to what years you were there, as is seems to me that one tends to be more "pre internet" and the other "post internet" but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
@@SirWillow 1998 to 2006
When I went to Disneyland I saw a cast member with a cool pin and I really wanted it but I didn’t have any pins so I was kinda sad but I knew how training works so I knew I wouldn’t get it. My family stopped to talk to them and I complemented the pin (and probably said I was sad I didn’t have anything to trade for it) and they gave it to me! It made me feel really happy and it’s my favorite pin to this day. Naturally you should never expect that though, just wanted to share my story 😁
You didn’t address the “Big” question asked... where’s Walt’s Cryocrypt?
I never had these guest experiences. I was doing a very special job in entertainment lol!
I used to work at six flags at the ticket booths and used to get complains that they didn’t want want to pay for the tickets
I work in a grocery store. People ask the same types of stupid questions too. Can't even read the signs above the aisles...
So I work at Home Depot and one of the things we do when an employee leaves is we make a apron filled with comments and goodbyes one of my coworkers at the time was leaving down to Florida to start working at Disney World and on his apron I put what time is the 3 o’clock parade
Technically, you can catch a Lynx bus to competitor parks from Magic Kingdom’s ticket center.
They didn't do that when i used tonwork there. ;-)
Not everybody is that into Disney so I don't blame them for being confused.
Funny you asked someone to explain guest behavior (11:35; guests not understanding the entrance is also the exit). Just before you asked that question, I had paused the video to answer that very question to my partner.
Some people have a TERRIBLE sense of direction. They honestly do not remember where they came in and can not retrace their steps. My aunt is a perfect case in point. Many times she got lost in a shopping mall that she went to regularly. She simply did not pay attention to where she came in and does not know how to get out (without a mall directory). And this was when she was in her 20’s and 30’s (no senior’s moments here). For someone like me, who has an excellent sense of direction, it is unfathomable to be that clueless.
I also wonder how many of these questions are from people who are seniors/suffer from memory loss/dementia (ie: when did they move the castle, or the lady who insisted that she took the monorail to the studios)? It would explain a lot of the confusion.
I can honestly say that I don't think any of them are from memory loss/ dementia. Confusion? Absolutely! But not due to age or deterioration. Not even the one lady. Over the years I've heard from several others that have had the same sort of conversation with people of all ages.
And I understand being lost. But it's when they are looking at the entrance and saying that can't be the exit because that's how they came in.... that's when I'm stumped.
Has anyone told you, your evil laugh sounds like Petey? At least it does to me.😂
Honestly disney prices are actually not that bad when you consider every factor. Number 1 being they are the most open to aloowong outside stuff in. The renaissance fair near me has absolutely no outside food or drink whatsoever, further the food is overpriced, further more you have to buy food tickets to buy food with and only in sets so you spend even more. And lastly they do not allow any re entry so cant even keep food in your car and go eat it. After dealing with 100s of places like that the slight over chrage in a place that adds alot of extra stuff and aubaunce.
The bathroom question is actually a good one though. My friends work at their local amusement park, and they get it a lot. I'd rather have them ask where the bathrooms are (since it isn't obvious at the park they work at) than have them go in the bushes.
did you notice the photo in the background at the time? :-) In many places it's not a bad question. When you're standing right in front of it though...
@@SirWillow I did notice that. That happens at the park my friends work at as well. It is silly at times, but it can be overlooked, even at Disney. That picture was hilarious, since it happens a lot
I think I have your explanation for entrance vs. exit. Apparently it is true that EPCOT is accessible through two entrances, one for boat and foot traffic in the back of the World Showcase, the other for parking lot, bus, and monorail traffic in front of Prototype City (or whatever that section of the park is called, forgive me but I've only been to Epcot once in my entire life!). My fiancee says her family has an easier time coming in either on foot or on the waterway than they do coming in the main gate, but as the evening wears on, at some point, the front gate gets less crowded than the back gate. Unfortunately some guests are clueless enough to not realize that Disney World itself is not an amusement park in the strictest sense, but rather it's an entire amusement park complex, and those people that think there's more than one way in or out of the park probably went to Epcot first. (Except the people who asked you in Epcot, who I hate to admit may have been smart enough to do their research on that particular park only to get lost along the way.)
Epcot with it's two entrances and exits can be understandable. Ironically I was rarely asked that at Epcot. It was usually Magic Kingdom, and sometimes Studios. I would have thought MK would be the most obvious, but apparently for many Main Street was very confusing.
I bet that if I get to do the Disney College Program, I will have to prepare myself for the dumb guests! 😂
absolutely!
I love all your videos on theme park guests asking extremely dumb questions, they have me r o f l! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Really?😱🤪🤣 a 7pm parade come on people seriously! 🤦🏻♀️ Wonder why people thought that Disney world had 7pm parade? 🤔
Ok really, demanding the pin on your name tag or the name tag it’s self belongs to you. 😝😱🤣
I just looked at your mail address in the description. I had no idea you lived in crane! I have an uncle that lives there. Maybe you know him? 😁
send me an email to sirwillow@gmail.com and I can let you know. :-)
Dude, is that a Vault Boy on your shelf?!
The entrance/exit to the park, I can only guess why people can’t figure out they are the same thing.
I am assuming they don’t pay attention when they entered and get lost in the HUB.
People have a tendency to not have any spatial awareness.
They couldnt tell the difference between being surrounded and being alone imo
Greg K that infuriates me! The parks have a front gate as your house has a front door

1. Some places really do have separate entrances and exits.
2. Disney parks are BIG and confusing and it's really easy to get lost and turned around. Although, of course you should grab a map on your way in. Duh.
Pat Green allrighty. I suppose
Try working for a Six Flags Water Park. #1 question - Why is the water cold?😂😂😂
that may partially be the fault of Disney (and I think Universal and Sea World) who actually heat the water at their water parks. I've been to Disney's down in Florida, along with Wet N Wild when it was open, and Aquatica, in Dec- Feb when it would be warmer in the water than outside of it
This didn't happen at the Magic Kingdom but it happened at an all-inclusive resort. There was this guy in line at the bar and I was behind them and there's a couple people in front of us and he freaked out on the bartender expecting one-on-one service. He was just screaming and swearing at the bartender and I stepped up and said look you don't expect one-on-one service in a bar in your hometown don't expect one-on-one service here. After that my wife and I never had to go to the bar again every time the bartender saw our glass is empty he made sure we had full drink brought to us. What do you know I'm magical moment not at Disney! You can get them elsewhere if you deserve them as well
at my job if a customer gets mad or doesnt understand the answer its our fault, it sucks
We should get a part 2
Part 2? I have at least a half dozen of these. LoL
My dumb question: Why are most of the lines for the indoor rides so twisty and hard to see in? Do they WANT us to trip or bump into someone?
For pete’s sake, a bunch of the lines were often so dark and convoluted that my party had to hold hands just to get through them without getting stuck.
Once when I was in school, I had a friend who apparently wasn't focused one day and instead of asking me "what teacher do you have eighth period" what came out was "what period do you have eighth period" I responded with "fourth period" thats when it clicked.
