One poor guy wanted to know how to get to Mr. Lincoln? At the time he was standing by the Fire Dept. So I told him to hop on the railroad, take it to the (at that time) 3rd stop on his journey, then get off and stay to your right. And yes, we did have my 8 year old niece convinced that some of the birds in the Tiki Room were indeed real, and not to sit directly under them.

I really, really think this person was just pulling your chain, and it became this "Wow, Disneyland guests sure are stupid!" story. I've made jokes in the park that, if taken out of context and posted on a message board, would be the ultimate stupid guest quotes. But I was always kidding around.

And then she said, you mean its not at this park, and i told her no, and then she said she remebered riding it at this park as a kid, and i asked her, wasn't this the parking lot when you were a kid? we both got a laugh out of it.

People would ask me where Splash Mountain was (meaning Timber Mt. Log Ride) and I would direct them to their car, head north on Beach Blvd, 5 Fwy south exit Harbor, turn into the Dland Parking lot and etc., etc. Usually they would just stand there with their jaws wide open trying to process something that they just couldn't comprehend. And then they would say; "Are you kidding?"

Originally Posted By Ursula At least the loop in the tram ride is real. Waiting for Shag autographs one fine morning, there were about 400 of us in line. We'd get pulled aside by Mrs. Randon Guest and asked what we were doing. My answer: "Waiting for the bathroom. Better get in line now if you'll have to go in two hours."

To the left, you'll see a big white house. You can't miss it. Touron: Okay, thanks! *walks off* The same hilarity ensues when you throw in a bathroom request. Of course, I'm not an actual DL CM (they're my initials) and would never do these things, but they're fun to toy around with.
