Also when in line what kind of things do you notice...like while for the Jungle Cruise and there are "designs" for the boats they are approved by Walt himself.

I know that it is probably a fascimilie but just a neat detail, what kind of stuff like that do you notice?

The only reason a witch has for getting in line these days is to pick out just the right man to smooze with. Naturally he'd have to be a gorgeous hunk, hopefully fairy well off, too. I can't tell you how many men I've had the pleasure of meeting at Disneyland--

ORGOCH: --or how many times a guy's had ta call Insecurity fer the purpose of havin' a certain pesky theme park hag escorted right outta the park!!!

ORDDU: Hmmm....not sure if that was a mistake or not. I could have simply said 'fairly well off'. But I think I'll leave things as they are...

I try my best NOT to be in line often, meaning i load up on fastpasses. When i am in line i like to look around and talk. I see other people on their phones or playing games which drives me nuts. Some lines are way more interesting such as Indy, then you have horrible long lines at TSMM which suck.

On the last trip we were in a really long line for the Nemo subs (and boy, do they they need to get fast-passes for that one!) and the kids were getting restless so I got them to start singing Disney songs. A bunch of other families joined in too. It was really fun!

Basically 20 Questions (we don't limit the number of questions)of yes or no variety.

It's fun to pick some obscure character from the parks, old movies, etc and stump people.

One time, I thought I'll think of something really hard.. and I thought of "Johnny Fedora." My friend at the time - with no questions asked, no hats around to prompt her - guessed "Johnny Fedora." It was amazing!

We also (if in a big line) have an ice cream bar or a cotton candy...

You'll know it's me you're trying to engage inn conversation someday when my face turns red, have little to no response, and make you feel so uncomfortable you finally turn back around.

I've gotten so many different responses that nothing makes me really uncomfortable.

No matter what I do though, or how conversational I think I'm being, I always get labeled as the "quiet one". Oh well, hehe.
