You know somebody is a tourist when...

You know somebody is a tourist when...

- They stand in at the entrance to Jungle Cruise trying to figure out the tour times when they see the sign above the entrance that says "Tours Daily".
- They belive you really need a ticket and passport to ride Star Tours.
- During heavy crowds they stop in the middle of a walkway to take a picture.
- They wear cargo shorts.
- Their Hawaiian style shirts are tucked into their cargo shirts.
- On top of those cargo shorts, they're wearing fanny packs.
- On top of that Hawaiian style shirt, they wear their park passport on a lanyard.
- They wear sports sneakers.
- when they are wearing business suits
- when they dont wear deoderant
- when they get in the fastpass line even though they dont have a fastpass

Now its your turn. You think of some.

[barfownz]

- when they think FastPass costs money.
- when they wear a t-shirt with some slogan they think someone cares about.
- when they save seats 5 hours before Fantasmic!.
- when when they get angry at CMs who say they cannot ride together from the single-rider line.
- when they smell like sunblock on a cloudy day
- when they think you're a CM when you wear the gold name badge.
- when they think walking in the direction of Splash Mountain will lead them to the park exit.
- when they spend hard earned cash on spinny-flashy things that will never be used again after that night.

oh! this looks like it can be really fun.....let's see:

*when they read a map, look at the sign to the attraction, and still asks a CM what its about...
*when they think that they are supposed to steal the flick cards, only to give them to the wrong attraction later and completely mess with the wait times
*when they wear sandals w/socks
*when they wear ponchos (in the summer) on splash mountain b/c they dont want to get wet, yet they complain that its too hot
*when they shove a credit card in the fast pass machine and dont understand why it doesnt come out
*when they think that putting a $20 in the fast pass machine will give them unlimited passes
*when they park their strollers blocking something, then complain to a CM that someone stole their stroller, only to be informed by the CM that it was moved to stroller parking, only so that the tourist can yell at them b/c either "there was no sign" (yes, there is), or "well, everyone else parked there, why aren't those moved??"

***:-) looong rant....sorry -- that last one has been bothering me for a while

[Space Junk]

*when they have a t-shirt on that says "Florida"
*when they ask how much a fastpass costs
*when they drive like idiots on I-4
*when they develop a fear of the lane they are driving in will suddenly become a turn lane without notice
*when they refer to WDW as Disneyland
*when they buy everything in sight at every gift shop
*when they are very pale and wear sock with sandals and fanny packs
*when they have a huge backpack with everything on earth in it - just in case...
*when they are in EPCOT, DAK, or MGM and ask "wheres the castle??"
*when they ask if they can pick up "the blue train thingy" inside Space Mountain


ill think of more soon....

[KnightStitchChica]

how about....when a CM applies to work at WDW, only to refer to it as DISNEYLAND!! (ha! got you back for the band thingy!)

[Space Junk]

i do did not do that!! i just got the taglines wrong....either way i stand by the fact that WDW is still a very happy place!!

- When they walk through the main gates wearing a Disneyland related T-shirt.

When you hear them say "Let's go to the Haunted House".
When you hear them say "Let's go on Auto-topia"
When you hear them say "Lets go on Star Wars"
And especially
When you hear them say "Let's go to California Adventure"

You might be a tourist if...

...You've ever asked a CM to show you "Magic Mountain" on the map.

...You've ever berated a CM for prices set by TDA

...You think the rules don't apply to you.

You know somebody is a tourist when:
- they are smoking in a non-smoking section (has it been banned at Disneyland yet?)
- they save a spot for the parade 90 minutes before
- ask how to get into Sleeping Beauty's Castle


I guess that technically I'm a tourist - but even if I still lived in So Cal I'd proudly wear a Disneyland shirt into the park (I have a couple great old ones).

[KnightStitchChica]

when you're in tomorrowland, starring at space mountain, yet ask where space mountain is

when you think that stitch's great escape is space mountain/a rollercoaster

when you think that stitch's great escape is the blue trainy thingy

when you think that the blue trainy thingy does loops (yes, that's why there's no restraint system...)

[Heather Ripley]

When they enter the Magic Kingdom at 12:00pm on a Monday!

the last two sound more like AP'ers...

[Heather Ripley]

you go to the right

[barfownz]

You ask how Disney built Disneyland around the Matterhorn.
