Silliest/Stupidest question youve ever heard asked at Disney?

[Mickeyflower]

I was a CM at Disneyland while in college I've heard:

Guest: "Excuse me, but where is Magic Mountain?"
Me: It's another park in the city of Ventura, about an hour or so outside of town, just off Interstate 5. Great if you LOVE roller coasters! We have The Materhorn, or Space Mountain just over....." Guest cuts me off mid sentence
Guest: "NO! I said MAAAAGIIIIC MOOOOUNTAIN! Where is MAAAAAAAGIC MOOOOOOUNTAIN!?"
Me: Gave the rude dude directions to Cartoon Spin
Guest as he's walking off says to his party "Geeze, some of the cast members here are SOOO STUPID!"
Me:


Another one: I was working on Main Street wearing the victorian turn of the century costume and my name tag, standing behind a cash register when a guest asked me "Do you work here?" I simply said yes.

Another one: While working in La Brea Bakery where you can SEE THE FRONT ENTRANCE to Disneyland.
Guest: Excuse me, where is the front entrance to Disneyland?
Me: Just over there, slightly to the left (Doing the famous Disney 2 finger point!)
Guest: No they moved it since they added the new park, where did they move it too.
Me: Sir, the front entrance is just over there slightly to your left (this time directing with my whole hand)
Guest: huffs and walks off TOWARDS California Adventure!
Guest behind him: Guess your not handing out brains for a receipt huh?

Because I like to wear my VIP name tag (see avatar) I get regularly mistaken for a CM, so I get loads of silly questions aimed at me (though I don't count "do you work here?" As I do accept that most people see a name tag and assume...)

Not sure this is silly but the one that stands out is:

I was standing near Innovations East talking to a CM on a Segway (he was pimping the Segway tour at the time, which we eventually did) when a person came up and asked "Where's the smoking area?", not silly at this point.

She aimed the question at me and the CM didn't seem to know so I gave the person accurate directions to the smoking area using my best two finger pointing and they replied "Forget it! I've been given bad directions once already I'm not following any more!" then they walked off... In the wrong direction.

If they didn't actually intend to follow the directions why did they ask?

AK- Guest to Safari driver: "Are there bears on this ride"?

My reply would of been simply, "The elusive African is rarely seen thats why it is "elusive" (even taking both hands off the wheel for finger air quotes)".

This thread reminds me of a couple of cruises we've taken when the cruise director would tell of the stupid questions he has been asked:

What time is the midnight buffet?
Does this elevator go to the front of the ship?
Does the ship generate its own power?
Does the crew sleep on board?

I'm trying to think of some from Disney. I've heard some guest comments that were pretty amusing but weren't questions - just guests speaking to each other.

Only on the DCL will you find the forward moving elevators.
Steve are you on the Disdads subforum? and if not, WHY NOT!!!??

Not a real "silly question" but did you ever notice that nobody asks "Where is the furthest restroom?"

I try to push my bladder to the limit to see how long I can wait.

I particularly like the "Does the ship generate it's own power" one. Man, that would be one HECK of a long extension cord!!!!

Sayhello

Here's two I've heard:

Where is the Monorail to Universal?

And

How do I get to the MGM Grand?

Now I'm wondering what context you were discussing the Dolphin resort at the Polynesian. And this wasn't a CP cast member? Not "Earning My Ears"? Either the cast member hasn't explored Walt Disney World much, or the cast member is brilliantly feigning ignorance of the existence of a Starwood owned hotel. Hmm.

Oh, it was mentioned as I was fumbling around looking for my Visa card.

I mentioned how that one of the only "down sides" about staying at The Dolphin is how I couldn't charge everything to my room key.

That's when she made the "Is it nearby ?" comment.

She was an "older" lady, (not that that matters...) and I saw no sign that she was "Earning Her Ears".

Now, weather or not she was brilliantly feigning her lack of knowledge about the existence of a Starwood owned hotel is any one's guess.

I love those demotivator posters. DH has a calender of them!

Last trip to DLR we were in Disneyland and leaving Tomorrowland towards the hub. A lady in the hub was yelling back and forth with a man in the entrance to TL. She asked "Where are we?". He said "We're going to Tomrrowland" and she said "I thought we were going to Disneyland." He said, "This IS Disneyland!". Lady: "This is Disneyland?".

We could not figure out how she got through the gates with the tickets and up Main Street to the hub and not know she was in Disneyland.

In Florida, when in Epcot, DHS or DAK, I constantly hear people talking and say, "tomorrow we're going to Disney World." I assume they mean the Magic Kingdom, but it's always amusing. They don't seem to count the other 3 parks as part of Disney World.

Ive heard that one as well. I laugh on the inside and explain to them where they are.
