- they walk slow like trying to notice everything.
-Random STop. Ing
- They have killer fadsion sense!

[TopCat8]

- they get scared of the "mice" in Honey I Shrunk the Audience.
- they wait for 45 minutes to ride Peter Pan's Flight.
- they listen to the cast member's demonstration when they go inside Innoventions.
- they wait hours to take their kids on Gadget's go-coaster, when there are much better stuff to do in Toontown.

Hey, I would have used my spinny flashy thingy again if I could have found it!

Okay guys, granted we've all come in contact with those that don't frequent the park often - I've had many times where families of 10 stop in the middle of adventureland to look at maps and talk into their little walkie talkies and hold up a very crowded areas. I wish they rented cattle prods sometimes you can shock someone out of their 'Disney dream state'

BUT

I've seen AP'ers use a flash on dark rides (and you know who you are)
I've seen AP'ers wait in a line for a show for 2 hours (you know who you are)
I've seen locals pay full price for meals and drinks - attending those character meals when you've been there many times (you know who you are)

So whether it's a 'tourist' or a local/AP'er - we've all done it

Now out of courtesy to those 'tourists' who are the reason Disney is so successful in the first place - it is those who are IN the know - to educate -

I've gotten mad, I've explained until I'm blue in the face - and no some don't get it - we all have to remember DL and DCA are sensory overload for those who have never been - there is so much to see and to experience and it can be confusing and people do get lost easily -

So just because someone asks how much is FastPass - or someone asks you what the line is - or if someone asks if 'that seat is taken' remember YOU were once a person who was new - AND yes I STILL don't like the mice feeling in HISTA! AND I STILL don't like the bugs in Bug's Life - I still react after being in those shows ZILLIONS of times

Off my soap box

[k_peek_2000]

I'm neither a tourist nor an AP. Whenever I go to Disneyland I usually get in for free. But of coarse that limits the times I go.

Anyway you know sombodys a tourist when they leave in the middle of Fantasmic

You know sombody is a tourist if they watch Golden Dreams.

You know sombody is a tourist if they buy the expencive disposible cameras which were like 20 dollars last time I checked. Thats outragious.

when they wait forever for a meet and greet then the kid screams his head off and runs away.

and heres one that happened back in the good old days on the submarine voyage I read it some place a person walked up to an SV cast member and asked how long is this ride the cast member being a smart a$+ said 3 days. The next day the person came back with baggage for the cruise

I saw that once, curiousity. Gotta try something at least once.

Anyway...

When they ask how ghosts get into the house, I understand if it's a young kid but an adult.

When they stand at the entrance to a queue(?) and you walk by to get in line, they yell at you for being rude. (Did that make sense?)

[Wendy Darling]

When they touch everything within reach and say "oh my gosh, ive never seen anything like this" even tho they had touched the same thing 3 steps back and had said the same thing there as well.

*She taps their shoulders with a long sick, has them look around for the perpetrator, then as they give up their search, she does it again.*

[Wendell]

When they confuse the HM for ToT.

When they complain about the locals coming in for a few hours.

When they ask a cast member where the bathroom is.

When they try to trade a Goofy's Kitchen button for a discontinued pin from a CM.

[stitchhead28]

- When they complain that the pavement is too hot when the cast members ask them to sit down.
- When they stand up during a ride to take a picture.
- When they talk in a completely foreign language LOUDLY during a ride so it ruins the experience for everyone else.
- When they believe the Matterhorn is a real mountain and Disneyland was built around it.
- When they walk directly in front of a Main Street vehicle to take a picture.
- When they argue with a cast member when they are told they cannot bring food or drinks onto an attraction.
