Don’t even get me started on the panic that overtook me every time a Cast Member asked, “Where are you from?”
“
Ehhhh. Well. My hometown is Florida. But I’ve lived in Germany for three years. And am about to move to England.”
I get to about “Lived in Germany” when the CM’s expression turns panicky and the regret over asking appears. They weren’t expecting such a complicated response from a simple question!
It shouldn't be a tricky question, but sometimes it is! haha
This is one of the reasons I prefer the question, "Where are you a local?" Tells you a lot more about a person, and I think it's easier to answer. I watched a Ted Talk with this premise once, and it was lovely.
In case anyone is interested:

Who would have guessed sitting around doing nothing but watching the world go by would be such a memorable moment from the trip?
I have to remember to do it more often. In life and in Walt Disney World.
Agreed! I need to keep this in mind, too.
Seriously, though. If you’ve never seen Epcot in the spring, it’s worth planning an entire trip around the occasion.
I couldn't agree more! My favourite time to visit WDW, and especially EPCOT!
And this is what happens when you all share a funny story on the DIS. It gets repeated to Alex and you become known as the person who did such and such.
That’s how Alex keeps track of everyone.
That's so funny! (I remember that story about Jeff, too!)
Funny how partners keep track of our Disfriends. For probably a year after Nathan had his first Dismeet and met Ariane and her husband, Steve, he only could remember them as the People Mover People, since that's what we rode together, even though I'm pretty sure she's the only Ariane he's ever met.
There was a Hank plush for sale that I seriously debated buying.
For the kids, of course.
I love this! I have his cousin, as you may have seen, and he loves to take adventures when we travel!
The woman got huffy and told her mother to wait there, then stormed off, only to return a few minutes later saying someone else in their party had gotten them a table at Rose and Crown and they needed to leave.
It was an interesting scene to witness. I can only assume the woman was unaware that you had to book restaurants in advance, but that’s such a hard thing to believe nowadays.
Oh boy! Sounds like quite the kerfluffle!
Alex and I ended up being seated (in the New Brunswick section) at 12:26.
This is our home province! We're happy locals of Nova Scotia now, but Nathan and I both grew up in New Brunswick. I've been lucky to have seen a lot of beautiful places in my life so far, but no place more beautiful than New Brunswick in the fall when the leaves turn. 10/10 would recommend.
Who knows…my heart went out to them, and I hoped the money stress didn’t dampen their last day too much.
That's tough! Le Cellier is nice, but it definitely is a bit pricey. I feel for them. It's really a shame they didn't split an entree! Some of the larger steaks could definitely feed two easily.
