Port Orleans Question

[Dimplenose]

I'm currently doing research (i.e. planning without a date) into a trip to POFQ.

I keep coming across references to puns in the road signs and I have seen photos of one or two that are quite amusing but most articles I've read keep saying that "Rue D'Baga" is the best. But I don't get it.

I've tried saying it out loud, reading it as Rudy Baga doesn't help me either. Can anyone explian what I'm missing?

Thank you so much, I've never come across that word before.

Actually, you're right - I've not seen much Disney Winnie-the-Pooh. The most I've seen was on Disneytime as a child (I used to love that programme at Bank Holidays.)

There definitely wasn't any rutabaga in the original books (there wasn't a gopher either! )

Still I'm pleased to now know what everyone is referring to.
