Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
When we were in EPCOT last Monday the phones were ringing off the hook during the evening when we walked by. My wife and I answered them a number of times and it seemed it was random kids calling the numbers. It was hilarious talking to them.Sharonofwindham wrote:Has anyone called and actually had someone pick up? If you did, what was the conversation?!
Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle until the ride comes to a full and complete stop. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day here at Walt Disney World.

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
We were there on Thursday (before the race) and it was ringing so my wife made me answer. It was some kid from GA...he was bored and calling the phones.

He said he was headed there next month. It was pretty wild..we talked for a few minutes.
Then later I called it and some lady answered and really gave me the business! It was funny...she said " I'm having a great time at WS what about YOU!" Very matter-of-fact like. I love that place!

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
My friend and I sat on a bench next to the beer cart at the Rose and Crown and called the middle phone for a good half hour. WE picked that phone because it isn't in a booth and you can easily see the person that answers. This after spending the afternoon at ESPN watching a playoff game, so we had experimented with a few beers. Needless to say, we enjoyed talking to the people that answered the phone and discussing their wardrobe choices. Watching them look around to try to find who's calling the phone was priceless!

Can't say for sure. We don't think so. It was dark. The people next to us on the bench to our right knew what we were doing and seemed to enjoy it. We of course were giggling like school girls! The Bass draughts we were having for dessert helped us enjoy it that much more!

Trust me. If people don't notice me right across the walkway by the fountain calling and talking and looking right at them, they didn't see you.kcarts wrote:Amy wrote:Did you ever get spotted?

And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
I answered of the phones one while at Epcot, I think it was someone pretending to be Tinkerbell. Anyone know if there are CM's waiting nearby to see who will answer the phones?

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
I'm from the UK and we don't have these phone booths anymore so it's a real nice to treat so see these around at epcot when I come to visit. Epcot reminds me so much of my childhood because I spent so much time there it's awesome that some of our heritage is built into the park .

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
I actually saw a few of the red phone booths when I was in the UK in 2003 ~ it was pretty neat to see them as the only place I had ever seen them before that was in EPCOT!cy1229 wrote:I like it, too, because while I want to go to the UK some day, I haven't been there yet.ghostelias wrote:I'm from the UK and we don't have these phone booths anymore so it's a real nice to treat so see these around at epcot when I come to visit.
