Thats funny, you tricked them into going to Tow Sawyer island. That is a stupid question, i have ever heard. Where is the E.T. ride? :icon_roll You are in Disneyland not in Universal Studios Hollywood.

Man on PA: "Attention please, if you are thinking that you are in another theme park, please wait outside near the entrance and leave."

After just reading the Mouse Tales books, I went to DL. My husband and I decided to eat lunch at the Blue Bayou. We had never been there before and were very excited! Well, not wanting to be one of those guests who ask silly questions......we get seated and I immediatly ask where the restroom was (we had gotten up at 3a.m and drove straight to DL from the bay area:wink: ). Anyways, my eyes weren't adjusted yet, and we were seated right by the entrance to the restrooms! I felt so silly. :icon_redf I apoligized to our hostess. Now I am one of those annoying guests! Ahh:icon_roll Oh well, at least I did not ask what time the 3 o'clock parade was!!

Funniest part about that is the ET ride @ USH hasn't existed for about 2 years now :tongue: So whoever that was believed the ET ride existed, it was in Disneyland, and that it was on Tom Sawyer Island? Wow :icon_lol:

There was this woman at the Brother Bear show in CA ADV, and she was trying to be cute telling the Castmember working the show that people in Washington state (where I'm from) can't pronounce tortillas right. She said, "In Washington, they say it 'tor-till-yas' instead of 'tor-tee-yas'" I looked at her like she was insane! What a dumb thing to say =) Of COURSE we can pronounce it right!

this isnt so stupid as it is gosh darn cute...

but we were in line for tower of terror, getting ready to enter the library, and we were near a bunch of 8 year olds. One of them saw the "out of order" elevators and asked the bell hop if the ride broke down. He responded in a very dry "We're sorry sir. Our guest elevators arent working properly. We are preparing a service elevator for you instead" The child, whom I dont know, turned to my group and asked "is this part of the ride?" Well the parents looked at us and smiled, and we took it in stride and said "Nope, it looks like there's something strange going on in the hotel". The parents chuckled and played along, and I felt like a cool guy.

So we go in the library, and the kids are just floored with all the effects and the lightning... when the show ends, and the lights come back on the kid says with a disturbing grin "oooh no... we're all gonna die"

So we do the boiler room... and we all end up in the same elevator together... we get buckled in, and instead of moving, the ride malfunctions, and goes into emergency shutdown. We're still at the elevator doors, looking at the bel hop CM and she's telling us there was a sensory problem, and that we would be moved to another shaft. In the meantime she tells us to remain seated in the elevator for the time being. So right now its just our elevator car, sitting quietly in the elevator. While that wouldnt unnerve you at all... they were still playing the background elevator sounds, so it was certainly building up inside the lil kid. Then, the kid announces that "were all gonna die", and proceeds to tell us all individually of that. His predictions are effective enough to scare his kid sister off from riding, and the rest of the car is trying so so hard not to giggle. Fortunately for me, he told me I wasnt gonna die... so I took that as a sign that I was a cool guy in the kid's eyes. We eventually rode... he screamed like a lil girl, and we all went our separate ways.

Again its not a stupid story neccessarily... but the kid thought I was cool. and thats always a great way to end a story.

:icon_roll The stupidest thing I ever saw at Disneyland was a group of teens tossing opened mustard and ketchup packets from the old Skyway cars on unsuspecting folks below. These guys were also doing a great job of drawing attention to themselves by rocking their car back and forth under the cables. When we got to the Fantasyland Skyway exit there was a nice security detail waiting for them. You see, each car also had a number printed on each side making it visible to the crowds below. Duh! :icon_shoc The dumbest thing I ever did there was having a cheesburger eating contest then riding the teacups. Part of the bet was to see who could keep their lunch down the longest so we did multiple rides. I was watching my brother and friends while waiting in line for my turn when suddenly I saw this stream of ...(you get the picture) go flying in a spiraling motion. I held my own but felt real rocky for a couple of hours after my ride. The hardest part was not thinking about what I had witnessed while still feeling green. :icon_cry: The dumbest thing I ever heard of at DL was people standing up on the Matterhorn. What? Were they trying to give new definition to the word "Splat!" for the Guiness Book of World Records?

Hey, I love MOUSE TALES. Its really funny and a good read. I like the part where the Lion eats another when Disney had the circus out front! Anyways, The dumbest thing I heard was some lady told her kids that the next ride they would go to would be Space Mountain. Guess what,we were in line for Space Mtn. She was a hippy with hairy armpits so I just blew it off and kept my mouth shut. Must have been to one too many parties in the 70's. GROOVY!

well, if they were in line for space mountain, wouldn't the next ride they were going to actually go on be space mountain? It would be next, if they hadn't ridden it yet, right?

I worked at the park from 89-92, and was asked that question at least once a day (no lie) while standing in front of the restroom. The majority of those people, oddly enough, where not from other countries.:icon_lol: I would always just smile, and point behind me, and the guest and myself would have a laugh over it. One time, on a hot, bad day, I was standing in front of the restrooms next to Village Hause, and was asked that most common of questions. I did the very un-Disney thing, and directed him to the nearest restroom...at the Hungry Bear! ;) Needless to say, I did feel bad, and chased after him to re-direct him the the ones that were behind me.

My boyfriend and I were waiting in line for pirates and the line was way out almost along the rivers of america. Anyway, as we were waiting this family was wandering around looking at the map and the mom was saying " I just know the haunted mansion is somewhere over here!" Then she lead them up and over the bridge towards tarzan's treehouse. It was too late for me to direct them the other way but if they just would've looked straight ahead in the first place they would've noticed a huge MANSION in front of them! I guess I just take it for granted that I know my way around Disneyland like the back of my hand :)

I go to Disneyland just about every year with the EGHS team in October on the weekend of the Mt. SAC Cross Country Invitiational. Yeah, move Disneyland to Elk Grove and move Suburban Propane and the proposed Lent-Ranch Mall to Anaheim!

So I don't know if this will get edited, but... I was in one of the Main St. Shops with a friend sophomore yr of high school. A little old, sweet, lady CM was running the register as I was buying something. My friend was hot and wanted to go sit down in the shade somewhere, so she came over to tell me this while I was paying. Except instead of saying "I'm going to go sit in the shade", she accidently mixed up the first 2 parts of the word "sit" and "shade", making her sentence a lot more interesting. I started laughing realizing her mistake, and then laughed even harder because she said it in front of the little, sweet, old lady CM who responded with a horrified look!

Okay. We were there on the 17th like a lot of you. Found the PERFECT spot for fireworks (back-to-back w/Partners about 3-4 feet in from rope). Anyway, Mindy (best friend) and I were waiting there (on and off) for fireworks to start. Start chatting with people around us and watching the video of earlier in the day, etc. The lady next to us INSISTS she is the most educated Disneyland fan there is. She knows EVERYTHING!!! And if she worked at Disneyland, she wants the job of driving the parade floats. Yeah. Well. I think she needs to do a bit more reading...

Once on space mountain (the old one) I was on a field trip in the 5th grade and we had a chance for extra credit. I started my report the second we had passed the animatronic. I started singing the galaxy song from the Meaning of Life film. Even though I couldn't see well I could feel the stare from my freinds and teachers trying to say what was I thinking. When the vehicle stopped I had just stopped singing but my song got me the credit because it was correct.

I thought this was pretty funny..

I was having dinner at the Plaza Inn last Thursday and was getting ready to pay for my food. The girl in front of me (16) was paying for her dinner and asked "do you have any Disneyland paper!" The woman behind the counter politley said "no, but we have reciepts on Disneyland paper" and the 16 year old said " Cool can I have it!" I thought it was funny because the girl was soooo serious about the whole thing!

:icon_redf I am SO EMBARRASED by doing this. When I was about...4 to 6 years old, I just got off of Pirates of the Carribean. Then, my parents took me to the Blue Bayou Restraunt, which, as you know, is NOT casual dining, and kids are SUPPOSED to behave there. I was stupid back then. When we were in the middle of our meal (I think it was lunch), I got up to use the bathroom, but got distracted by the boats floating by in the water. I put on a pirate hat and acted like an animiatronic pirate, in front of the boats and the restraunt!!!:eek: I even talked like a pirate!

The people on both sides were looking at me like I was crazy! When my parents found out what I was doing, I got in a LOT of trouble. One question still puzzles me though...Why in God's name did I DO THAT!?:( (I think it was the food...)

I think CMs have way too much fun with seeing/hearing dumb things. My FAVORITE thing that I was ever asked as a CM was "Do you work here?" >insert blank stare here< My first thought was always "No, I just wear this outfit for fun!" (the Fantasyland costume, with those wonderful green pants and flowered white tops), and the second thought was "Hi?! Nametag?!" I loved it, though, cracked me up every time. Working over in DCA at the Electrical Parade, the stupidest thing I saw there was two dad's almost start fist fighting over a place to watch the parade. A) it wasn't that great of a spot and totally not worth it, B) hullo...this is suppose to be a fun time for families, NO FIGHTING, and C) if you walk like several feet down the parade route, you will find a much better spot you won't have to fight for! It was really sad, though. That's not what disneyland is suppose to be about!

When we were at the park over the 50th, we were walking back to Disneyland from Downtown Disney. When we got to the security check point we jumped into the shortest line with only one person in it thinking we would zoom right through. The man in front of us proceeded to ask the security gal, "So what is this place?" She looked at him with a blank stare and her mouth hanging open. Then she said "This is a theme park, sir." He said "Theme park? I'm looking for the Disney village." She told him he just came from Downtown Disney and he said "No,No. Where is the Disney village?" She finally had him step aside so we could go through the check out. Now help me out here. How could anyone get as far as the security check point and not know where you are? Are there not signs all over that say DISNEYLAND RESORT? And how could anyone not know what Disneyland is? This guy spoke English very well so it wasn't like he was from the other side of the world. I'm thinking he was maybe from a differnent planet!

I have a story kind of similar to that.

I was sitting down and I saw that a mom and her son (about 6 or 7) were sitting in the area where people get onto the Mark Twain. The son whispered something to the mom and he went over to a trashcan nearby.All I could see was the son's back, so I thought he was throwing something away, but then I saw him pull down his zipper and something spattering on the ground.

Because nobody "steers" the floats, as I understand it. There are special magnets or whatever in the parade route so the floats drive themselves. That's my understanding anyway. I think the last float I recall being "driven" was by genie in the Christmas parade (it was Christmas right??)

Oh man... I don't think it would be possible for me to pick ONE stupid thing that my friends and I have done at Disneyland. There are too many priceless memories to choose from... :tongue: Frankly, I love Disneyland, but I do not encourage ANY of you to do any of the following. They are very stupid.

However, I'll detail five fun-filled and wacky incidents.

NOTE: Incidents 2, 3, 4, and 5 all happened on the same year (third year).
Incident 1 is the first thing that ever happened.
Incidents 3 and 5 are annual events.

1.) My friends and I were by the Conestoga Chuck Wagon (McDonald's Fries) and had just ordered a large portion of fries each. We went back to an area in front of the Golden Horseshoe Theatre and decided to have a certain contest. This contest involved Andy trying to throw fries into my mouth. Well, he got about two fries in before one hit me on the forehead. I picked it up off the ground and chucked it back at him. Next thing I knew, all six of us were engaged in a massive food fight. Two of my friends ran into the store behind me and taunted me through the window. Thinking I could throw a fry THROUGH the window and hit them, I threw one as hard as I could. It went "SPLAT" against the window and the residue looked like a sick seagull had digestion problems.

2.) My friends and I were by, once again, the Conestoga Chuck Wagon. We walked over to its left side to get some condiments, and we were now facing the Rivers of America. A whole bunch of what we thought were wooden ducks were just kind of floating around. So, being the idiots that my friends and I were, Spencer starts chucking fries at the ducks. He hits one of the poor things on the side of the head (from about 10 feet away) and it starts quacking up a storm. Right then, all of us took off to Pirates of the Caribbean.

3.) Yet another golden moment. This time, it takes place in Fantasyland. We were riding Peter Pan's Flight. There were two of us to a boat; I was sitting on the left of mine and Jason was sitting on the left of his. Our boats were running tandem with each other; one right behind the other. So, both of our boats eventually got to the Island/Volcano room right after the Big Ben room. There is a point right before the first boat exits where the two boats pass about five feet from each other. I stuck my arm out, and Jason stuck his out. We grasped hands and heard a wonderful "GRRRRRUNCHHH" sound. We quickly let go.

4.) TOONTOWN TIME! This one takes place on Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin. Two cars are connected into a unit via a black rod that runs between the two. The cars are no more than two to four feet apart. Jason turned his car towards mine and I turned my car towards his. Next thing you know, all four of us are whaling on each other. We all left that ride with very nice bruises (badges of honor).

5.) TOMORROWLAND TERROR! This last one takes place on Autopia. My friends and I were riding on Autopia, and all of us had seperate cars. Here is the ride order (from first to last): Joel, Spencer, me, Jason, Chris, Young. Joel was already far ahead of us when the whole thing happened. Spencer stops in front of me, and I rear-end him. After a string of insults (all in good humor), Spencer moves up a little bit, but not nearly enough. Jason comes around the corner and rear-ends me. Spencer takes off. Realizing who is behind Jason in the ride order, I just stay where I am. I turn back to him and smile. He says, "Come on!" I say, "Look behind you." Sure enough, the moment Jason looks back, Chris comes barreling around the corner and rear-ends Jason into the next day. Good times.

I know what you mean, I'm going for my birthday and my best friend doesn't want to go!!!! And it's free for her and she keeps comming up with stupid excuses! It sucks.

One stupid (or should I say embarrassing) thing that happened to me is that after using the restrooms near the front of the park (In Main Street, next to City Hall) I walked out and I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe and nobody told me until we got to the parking lot!!!

OMG, SnowWhite23! You've never had a Dole Whip?!! It's only the best treat at the park! Next time you're there you've GOT to try one! That is if you're a pineapple lover like me! It's like a frozen pineapple sherbert frosty. Kind of hard to explain. You just need to try one! I really wish they had a fastpass for the Dole Whip line! Sometimes it's soooo long! There's usually only one person working there. Can't figure that one out!

You know what? I remember back in '93 watching the Aladdin parade and when it got to the float with 5 different rows of men with turbans, I could tell one of them was alive--he sat noticably higher than the rest of them. I figured he was the driver. Did they change this since then or was I wrong?

While we were at DLR this June we took my brother and his wife along. And she hadn't been to DL since she was a kid so the first time we went on splash, right after the 1st drop before entering the mountain she asked "was that the big drop?" and this was after we had walked past the drop and watched several logs go down.

How can you even get your friends to go to Disneyland? My friends think my love for Disney is strange and childish.

Well, my friends and I have been going for almost 5 consecutive years. I guess it's the thing of getting to go to the place that really gets them. We all had an insane amount of fun the first year that we went, and all of us still remember it ;).

It just takes a certain kind of person, I suppose. Frankly, Pooh is my favorite of all right now :icon_redf ; I'm also the only one of my friends who will admit that he really likes Pooh. He's cute AND a bear. How cool is that?

:icon_roll The stupidest thing I ever saw at Disneyland was a group of teens tossing opened mustard and ketchup packets from the old Skyway cars on unsuspecting folks below. These guys were also doing a great job of drawing attention to themselves by rocking their car back and forth under the cables.

That's why they removed the skyway...

Weird... I thought that they removed it because it wasn't "Handicap Accessible."

Still, the two people chucking stuff out of the buckets does make a little more sense to me... :icon_roll

i was in the bathroom near autopia...and i looked back and there was a girl walkin in...about my age i guess 14-16... any ways there was another guy in there and we looked back and she pops in and went O MY GOSH and ran out...

The same thing happened to my friend at the airport and then my friend was standing near a security guard and the same woman just happened to walk by so he shouted to the security guard, "that's her! That's her!!" while pointed at her. Of course the guard had no idea what he was talking about

Here's some sage advice on Autopia from the weirdo himself:

There's a reason they tell you not to bump each other, folks. I rear-ended one of my friends at full speed and killed his engine. :eek: After a lovely and heartfelt verbal exchange, I smacked him again and it started his engine back up. He took off, leaving me to ponder what just happened.

That's because the answer is so obvious.

The 3 o'clock parade is, of course, at 1:30.

OMG, SnowWhite23! You've never had a Dole Whip?!! It's only the best treat at the park! Next time you're there you've GOT to try one! That is if you're a pineapple lover like me! It's like a frozen pineapple sherbert frosty. Kind of hard to explain. You just need to try one! I really wish they had a fastpass for the Dole Whip line! Sometimes it's soooo long! There's usually only one person working there. Can't figure that one out!


off topic sorry.but yes those lines are long,and i guss everyone likes them just before the parade,because thats when I usually go get one,because a short walk from there are benches that my friends or my mom saves while I go buy pinapple whips.twice when i have finally got to the front and the person says there is only enough for 1 or 2 (luckly I was only getting two.).anyway SnowWhite23 it is kinda like a rootbear float,only with pinapple sherbert and pinapple juce.

The stupidest thing I have done was on my 5th grade field trip,my friend had never been on the Matahorn,she was scared so in the line I jumped up on the rail and said that I could see the snow monster walking around and trying to push the cars off the side:icon_twis ,my other friend said that she read that someone died because the monster did push their car,well we got on and we went in a dark part and she started crying,when we took the first sharp turn she started crying more,when she saw the yettie she started screaming loud:eek: we had no clue she belived us and was scared of heights and the dark she cryed for 5mins after the ride(until we all chipped in and got her 2 churros lol)!I felt soo bad that I lied it was funny though:icon_evil :icon_lol: .

This is kinda funny,on HM I always try to pull the bar down I laugh everytime I hear "please do not pull the bar down,I will do it for you" :icon_roll .

Me and my brother with his friends once got off POTC and bought swords there at the shop and ran to the Dumbo tree and slayed it with our newly bought swords. It was fun, but it was stupid. LOL

The best thing I've seen was at The Blue Bayou. There was a middle age man sitting alone at a table by the water, staring over towards Lafitte's Landing. When his waitress came over to take his order, he pointed out across the bayou and asked "Excuse me, where are all those boats going to?"

The funniest thing I have ever seen at Disneyland was a picture of my friends on Splash Mountain. The oldest daughter (my friend) knew exactly when the cameras flash so all of her family did different poses. Her mom, little sister and her all decided to make funny faces, but the dad, who wasn't to crazy about the drop statred screaming so when the picture came out, he looked like he was crying!

Seen:
Parents that let there kids play in fenced off gardens and trample the plants. Kids that spit there gum on the walk way for others to step on.

Heard:
on Splash Mountain, A girl asks my wife, "do you get wet on this ride", wife being wet from just riding it said, "No". One time we went to DL with my wife?s parents, I gave them a walkie talkie so we could find them. Dad goes into the bathroom and I stand out side while his walkie talking is turned full up and make sounds over the radio.. hehe, you know, those sounds.

Done:
Went to DL during spring break, stayed 40 minutes and went home.

oh wow, i have some really embarasing moments, but ill say just one for now.
Only on wednesday i was in line for peter pan and the line was moving forward, and i was leaning against the railing as i was walking towards the line, and what i didnt notice was the railing stopped while i was still moving, and i fell off the railing into a light pole -_-, i didnt get hurt except for the sting of embarrasment and the pain of deep laughter..lol

We were standing in line for the Tower of Terror and there were two teenage girls in line behind us. One asks the other "How scary is this ride? Are the drops really bad?" Her friend tells her "Don't worry, it's not scary cause you aren't really falling, it's just an illusion that makes you think you are." :rolleyes: :icon_lol: and she was being SERIOUS! :eek: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Working over in DCA at the Electrical Parade, the stupidest thing I saw there was two dad's almost start fist fighting over a place to watch the parade. A) it wasn't that great of a spot and totally not worth it, B) hullo...this is suppose to be a fun time for families, NO FIGHTING, and C) if you walk like several feet down the parade route, you will find a much better spot you won't have to fight for! It was really sad, though. That's not what disneyland is suppose to be about!

But guess what! i jsut had a guest last week come up to me with a shiner, and thursday a fight broke out and its a regular ocurance now. You just dont see them, hey Look its Pete! Cast GC stands in front of other cast secutiry and leads trying to break up fight. fun times.. I love the busy spring break! :icon_roll Weee i had tonight off!

We were waiting to get into the park one morning and the people behind us were carrying on about the it's a small world castle. Then one of them said something about Disneyland tearing it down and now there was nothing in the middle of the park. It was all we could not to laugh out loud!!

idk if this is actually dumb, but it was very funny.

once i was at DL with my mom, dad, two cousins and my uncle and aunt. well we decided to go on splash mountain and we all got on one log (my mom didnt go on) and right after the drop we were laughing and then we started to get each other wet. so my uncle pretty much got everyone soaked, so we all ganged up on him and splashed him pretty badly. but what we didnt know was that we got the log ahead of us wet, so then it became a war between our log and the other log, which held a women's chinese basketball team. we were all having a blast. but then a CM on a speaker said we had to stop, so we did.but i still will always remember that time.

When I got back from DL in May of '05, one of my classmates said that same thing. OMG! I had proof you actually fell because my mom's purse actually went up in the air! I didn't know if he was BS-ing me or if he was serious.

Anyway, I can't think of anything stupid that I've done at Disneyland, but that thing about ToT my classmate said was stupid.

04-28-2006, 10:30 AM
When my mom & i were on TOT, there was this guy who thought the ride was a cute little dark ride. That all changed when we started dropping at incredible speeds!!!!! After the ride, we bought a picture for him & his family. You should've seen the look on his face.

Another funny thing that happened a TOT, was that when we got in the elevator, and the ride began, the doors were still open, so here's this cast member who is frantically trying to get the doors to shut. luckily, they did!

Back when Disneyland was selling the Disney ABC pins, a character for each letter of the alphabet, I had a Yensid pin. A cast member, yes, a cast memeber looked at my pin and said, "Oh look, Merlin.' Now it gets better. Yensid was standing next to a big "Y".

This isn't stupid or anything, but this reminds me of a recent ride on POTC where some kids mistook (is this even a word?) this scene for Peter Pan. So they were cheering for Pan and yelling that he get away from Captain Hook. "Save us Peter Pan!" they said. Some people were laughing, but I thought it was cute.

While, I was waiting in line for Peter Pan's Flight in Fantasyland. Mom, friend, and me saw a group of young teenagers from a high school group. They were funny. One of the group leader shouted, "Woo! Peter Pan! Woo Hoo! Peter Pan! *claps moronically* Peter Pan!". The rest of the group did it as well, it was stupid seeing do that, but it was a lot of fun, Peter Pan's waiting time was 50 minutes long! The teens entertained us be keep on shouting, "Woo Peter Pan! *claps moronically and happily* I heard someone yell shut up to them. I enjoyed it.

ok, here is a story for you... My senior year in High school, we were at Disneyland as part of the Academic Decathlon State championships, and we had all agreed to meet at the carnation cafe to head back to our hotel. Anyway, a couple of us were there early, and one of my friends, who was dragging big-time, took out some packets of sweetener, lined it out, and snorted it off the table!!! We were laughing so hard that I almost fell off the chair!! Shows who what the smart ones like to do, huh??

One of the stupidest things i have seen at disneyland happened about ten years ago when wearing your pants below your butt was the cool thing for guys to do. Well a whole group of teenagers went running past me towards space mountain in tommorrowland. One of the kids pants fell down around his ankles and he tripped. i still remember the embarrassed look on his face as all of his buddies laughing at him.

We were riding Splash Mountain the last time we were there, and right as we started up the big drop lift hill, we stopped, and a very angry castmember came out of NOWHERE and started yelling at the riders in the back of our log. Apparently one of the parents was carrying their very young child in their lap! I don't even know how a child that small got on the ride. I'm pretty sure some loaders got a good smackdown for letting that one get by. Sheesh, some people don't think (and I'm talking about the riders and the loaders).

Ok, I want to hear from everyone on this. You can post anything such as an embarassing moment, hurting yourself, or just doing something completely brainless. Also remember it doesn't have to be about yourself I just wanna hear it! One last thing, you can change it to sound like it was someone else if your too embarassed ( but you will have my greater respect if you do admit it was yourself).

I once rode Splash Mountain five times in a row. After that, I got on Pirates, and I had "Zip-Ah-Dee-Doo-Dah" stuck in my head. Little did I know, I was singing it out loud, and just after the second waterfall on Pirates, someone in the backseat told me to shut up. I was so embarrased, I didnt even know I was singing!!

When I was about 4 years old, my parents took me on Pirates of the Caribbean. I was terrified of the fire, and when the boat approached the landing I got out before it even stopped and ran! just as fast as I could! The wrong way! Everyone was calling for me but I wouldn't stop.

A woman in a long dress (I assume a CM) stepped out into my path and was looking down at me with such a sweet smile... I turned and ran back to where my family was waiting. Good thing The Haunted Mansion wasn't open yet...
