Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Disneyland!From "More Mouse Tales" - the majority of these are from California locals, although to their credit most of them are from when the park was new and the only thing of its kind:
"Are you open until you close?"
"Do I have to pay to get in?"
"Do you give discounts to tourists?" (I doubt they still give discounts to locals)
(During a rainstorm) "Is it raining inside?"
(Looking for It's a Small World)
"Where can I find the Mad, Mad World of Children?"
"Can you tell me where the Valley of the Dolls is?"
(After staring at the giant fake Swiss Family (now Tarzan) Treehouse for 5 mins) "Is this the Treehouse?"
"Do these stairs go both up and down?"
"Can I enter the exit?"
Swiss tourist: You know, we Swiss people do not really live in trees."
(Tourist explaining why he didn't have to sit down during a parade) "Yes, but I am French! But I am French!"
"I've been to Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Frontierland - where's Disneyland?"
(Whispered to a clerk) "You know, these watches will be very valuable because California is going to fall off into the ocean next year."
Surely someone has a story about being insulted at/with the England Pavillion at EPCOT...
