When my sister and I were in the MK on 9/24, we were on the boardwalk in Frontierland walking towards Liberty Belle, taking our time and enjoying a rare, uncrowded morning. Coming from the other direction was a family with a little boy, maybe 6 years old, who was just a few steps ahead of his Dad, and we could tell the boy was very excited to be in the MK. The littlest things seemed to thrill him, and as he passed us he pointed to a bird that was on the ground looking for his breakfast and said, "Look at the bird, Dad!" Dad on the other hand, the ultimate authority on the MK said, "Thats not a real bird. All the animals at Disney are mechanical."
My sister and I couldn't believe what we had heard, but the Dad was serious! We had a real good laugh and wondered what he would think of the mechanical animals at AK, but perhaps he is also sure that AK is not "Disney".

She starts looking all around and says that she is sure that she would be able to see it from here.
When I tell here that she needs to go to MGM, she looks at me in all seriousness and says "Oh this must be your first trip!! Let me show you the map". My DH had to step in after that comment, cause she was about to get Disney thumped. He asked her "Oh, how many times have you been here?" She says "Oh this is my third trip, I just love it here." And he replys " Well, the TOT is in MGM, like my wife said." She still disagrees and turns around and asks the family behind her and they tell her MGM. She just shook her head, like we were all crazy. "I'm sure I'll be able to spot it from the top of Splash Mountain"
