Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance LS, make sure you guys don't loudly discuss in front of the other guests how the cockroaches and rats on sticks are representative of the rats and roaches that hoard Disneyland after dark.

Didn't ladies used to wear live beetles or lizzards or somthing like that on thier lapelles or sweaters years ago? There was a trend years ago ,but I can't remember exactly. The Roach Brooch.

I may add insect repellent to my Disney kit... Hat, plastic bag for cell phone, sunscreen, fly swatter....
Originally Posted By Socrates Reading thru this reminded me of a story a friend from Alabama told me. When he was a kid, at night they would turn off the lights and watch TV. That's when the cockroaches would come out. But they had a tacit understanding that as long as the roaches didn't try to change the TV channels, they were left alone.

Originally Posted By pleiades357 Brings back a memory, a hotel in Brussels, wonderful old, elegant (well, at least it had been), left our bags and went out to sight see and eat, returned and as I turned on the light stepping into the room, saw the rush of cockroaches speeding out of sight. Really big cockroaches. People at the desk were apologetic (in a "you silly Americans" kind of way) but it was too late to do anything. I refused to open my luggage, friend undressed and climbed into bed without even looking under the covers (camper, out-doors man, guy). I spent the night on a worn but elegant chair, my feet on the edged, lights on, starting awake at any imagined noise. Rolled up map in my hand. Departing, they asked if we would do a review for them. I wrote "shabby elegance, too many bugs". They were still looking at it when we left, like there were not sure they understood...
