I Have a Bad Sense of Direction

But my dad has an even worse sense of direction, which is probably where I get it from. So I'm down in Florida visiting my dad for Thanksgiving, and we decide to go see the new Star Wars Galaxy's Edge park at Disney. We set the GPS (even though it's 20 minutes away, and it's not the first time he's been there. He's an annual passholder). Basically, here's the conversation:

Me: Okay, the sign says Hollywood Studios is the center lane.
Dad: Well, the GPS says to turn right, so I'm going to trust it.
Me: But it's Disney. Why would they make the signs confusing?
Dad: Well, we'll just see where this goes.

*makes the turn, into what is very obviously not a theme park, and is some kind of industrial, employee-only back entrance*

Me: I'm pretty sure this isn't it.
Dad: Well, why would the GPS take us here then?
(Pause)
Dad: You know what, I think you're right. There's no way all the buses would fit through here.
Me: Yeah, and no huge sign that says the name of the park, or the toll booth, or an army of people directing traffic through the huge parking lot.
Dad: Yeah, okay, the GPS lied to me.

*I look closer at the GPS*

Me: You set it to the employee entrance! That's why we're here!
Dad: Why would it even have that option? And why is it the first one in the list?

We did eventually make it to the park, but the security guard was not really amused by the tourists who can't read the highway signs.

Don't be too hard on yourself or your dad. That place is a nightmare and not all GPS apps have it correct either. Enjoy your stay down here and your Thanksgiving!

@Elisbch Oh yeah, once we made it in, we had a good laugh about it. It was just a weird moment of trying to figure out where we were.

I'm just jealous you're at Disney getting to go to Galaxy's edge it wasnt open yet when I went last year, have a blast

@Celt43 And I'm jealous of the people coming next week! The new ride opens on the 5th, and it's supposed to be an impressive feat of engineering.

@FaeLuna yes I've read all about it, but the lines will be huge for the first few months 😩
FaeLuna · 31-35, F
@Celt43 True... and you never know about those technical glitches in the first few weeks of heavy use.

Bad sense of direction is a sign of super high intelligence! 🙂
