And i'll even be honest and clarify something: After my visit there yesterday, I realized that a lot of people besides just the ill-informed will be using those directories. The place is simply huge and for many people, it's completely redone since they'll have last been there. I even found myself using it once.
because that's something I really care about...And thus your theme park fandom street cred drifted away on the crystal clear springs..

I enjoy the parks, I could care less about what people think of my opinions/actions.
I never truly knew dreamfinder or the original figment so I couldn't care less. I do want them to redo the ride, but that's about it. I didn't start coming to WDW on a regular basis until much of the what the "purists" talk about was already gone. So my view on WDW are slightly more liberal because of that, but I still don't give them a pass for things like Frozen in Norway.Aww. That's no fun. I always imagined if you were a dland local you'd be one of the social clubs that wears a leather biker jacket that says "Friends of Figment" or "Dreamfinder is my copilot."
In fact, I couldn't help but realize that the music that was playing reminded me of general mall music- nothing really "Disney" about it.
You photographed that commercial quality! I call it the stained glass effect. Food should never be lit from the cameras perspective. From the side or rear gives it an inner glow making it appear more tasty.
In my opinion and experience there are varying degrees of tourists, but there most definitely are dumb tourists. As you said your a tourist and your not dumb, we need to be specific rather than just saying "tourist".
I do think that if you are spending thousands of dollars to go somewhere though, you should do at least minimal research. The kind that prevents you from buying Uni passes and ending up at DHS or vice-versa.I am really sick of the words "Dumb Tourist". These are people who are on vacation to rest their brains, turn them off even, and be directed. There is no rule that one must be on their sharpest awareness in Orlando or Atlantis or St Lucia. That is not why they visit these places.

It's really more of an observation than anything else. If we don't identify them as dumb tourist it doesn't change anything. I do agree with your point though to a certain extent. People should be able to relax and enjoy themeselves and not have to spend all their time figuring things out. That being said there are a good number of tourist who do some really dumb things that turn out to be detrimental to their experience. I'll give you one example. I was talking to a lady at DAKL who had ordered a taxi to Universal. She had just arrived at the resort and this was in the evening around 6:00. I just so happened to have checked the hours for the park that day and they closed at 8:00. So I asked her why she was going when she would only have an hour. She said well we have the tickets we might as well use them. I asked her what type of ticket she got, she said I don't know their on this and held up her magic band. After I explained some things to her she canceled her taxi and got a bus to a Disney park. Here's an example of someone who turned their brain off and was ready to enjoy themeselves, however she was about to take a $100+ round trip taxi ride to a park she didn't have tickets for and completely ruin her evening. If I just hadn't happened to have a conversation with her no one would have directed her to the right place.I am really sick of the words "Dumb Tourist".
