Phone booth in Epcot...

[Eljay]

Here's what I'm going to do on our Oct trip. I'll park myself at a table outside of the main Rose & Crown entrance. From there I'll call one of the booths when I see a young adult there, I'll say that the call is a contest for a Disney prize. I'll ask a simple Disney question, and when they answer correctly I'll tell them that they won a free drink at the R&C, just go see Carl to get their prize. Should be fun!

My husband didn't know you could do this, so when we were there last week, I told him I wanted a picture, but that I had to go to the restroom first--he died laughing when I called him on the phone. I called the left one a couple days after we got back and talked to a nice family from Utah who said they had never talked to anyone from WV--they couldn't believe I was sitting at my desk at work . I hope they never disconnect this because it's so much fun and a perfect "pixie pick me up" when at home.

I called and got a hold of someone. I had a brief conversation with them and then they hung up on me. I wonder what people think, as they walk by and the phone is ringing. The evening might be a better time to call, after people have had a few cocktails. I called again this afternoon and got a group of girls from Panama City. I called the first phone booth, then called the other and said, "I just talked to your friends in the other phone booth."

Had a good one tonight. Called the one in the back of England and a guy picked up. I sounded echoey, do these things have speakerphone? Anyway, he picked up and said hello and I asked him to pick up some milk on his way home. He said he'd do his best and asked if I wanted skim, whole, or chocolate. This kind of set me off, and I said "do you not know what kind of milk we drink around here? We drink skim! And I'm not going to play these games, I found the last of the milk this morning still in a bowl in the sink with Fruity Pebbles still in it and I'm not pointing fingers but..." and he cut me off yelling about having done my laundry last week and I fired back about it being the end of the month and not having a rent check from him and then I yelled "get milk!" and hung up.

It's always more fun when the other party plays along!!

I meant to arrange to call last week when the senior class was there and I could have a staff member text me when someone I knew was at the booths!!

Technically they work, but not that well. My sister was there a month ago and I called her on all three in the UK and she said there was a lot of static.

I messed with someone in the right booth last weekend, worked fine and no static.

YUP!!!! It's real!!!

 

[stindall]

I've had a few others! I can't think fast enough for funny lines but it's fun to call anyway!

eta: well someone just ruined it for me. I finally got through again and the guy was a real jerk.

I called this week when I was close enough to see who answered but where he wouldn't see me. He was a 13-14 yo. I told him I had lost my prince and needed help finding him. He told me he thought the prince was at the castle waiting for me. I told him I couldn't find my way and could he give me directions. He gave me directions from EPCOT to MK I asked how I would know which man was my prince and he told me mine would be tall and holding a rose for me.
