Greetings all.
Am taking my family to Disneyworld next week, so I'm trying to find ways
to still get an EQ "fix" while there. Hey, it's supposed to be a fantasy
world, right?
1) Refer to my daughter and son as 'Halflings'.
2) /con Chip and Dale before slaying and looting.
3) Try to /auction Mickey's Skullcap (+5 CHA -50 INT) for $5 and a
popcorn refill.
4) Study the park map by sitting down and sticking my face in it (I'm not
35 yet)

Any other suggestions? (all in good taste and fair humor)

Don't forget to Cyber with Snow White, and watch out for
those ninja looting dwarves

1. Do not group with Goofey. He will overpull and overnuke.
2. If you attack the "Bear Country Jamboree" beware of Holly
Windstalker
3. Get a full group before attempting to raid "Pete's Dragon".
4. Do NOT take the boat to "Small World" It lowers INT, and raises
Agro
5. If you loot a clock, save it. It is for a quest involving a pirate
NPC named Captain Hook.
6. Collect as many poison components as possible while exploring. (ie
Churos, Candied Apples, Corn Dogs)

5) Wave your hands in dramatic gestures and say, "Ben Covarrubias casts a
spell on you, but the spell does not take hold."
6) When you see little kids /conning you, say, "What do you want your
tombstone to say?" -- wonder what their parents will say? "You will not
evade me, ..."
7) Say to Sleeping Beauty, "What was the [spinning wheel]? -- complete the
spinning wheel quest to get the Poisoned Needle, a magical piercing weapon
for casters.

When you visit the different vendors, remember to wear ALL your best
Charisma gear. And go from vendor to vendor, seeing who will give you the
best deal. But keep an eye out for Rogues who might want to try to improve
their pickpocketing skills by lifting your charisma gear. In that
particular zone, PvP pickpocketing is coded to actually work, so beware.

Ask the vendors what faction they're on.

See if you can buy corndogs and popcorn in stacks of 20.

Right click on those stacks to confim that they are only 'Snacks.' Time how
fast you consume them compared to other food types.

Always refer to pennies as 'coppers,' dimes as 'silver pieces,' and dollars
as gold. Tens are plat. That way you can tell us how many plat you blew on
this quest.

Goofy and Pluto are NOT Gnolls.

When you hear the "It's a Small World After All..." music, close your eyes
and think of Rivervale....

Read the security guards' name tags, and say, "Hail, Guard Soandso." See
what information about the zone they might give you.

Safe Journeys!

All I can say is....YOU PPL ARE SAD!!!! ;-)
I think we can officially refer to EQ as an addiction now. When we think of
conning venders in a public amusement park and completing quests.

HEY! WAIT! IDEA COMING ON!!!!

Maybe we can convince Verant to create a theme park based on EQ.
Hidden quests, zones between rides, vendors that never leave their shops,
and .... oh, just a second, bad thought coming on.....

having to take a number to wait 36 hours so you can camp a rare spawn to
complete
the popcorn quest, giving an item to the WRONG vendor and having to recamp
those
36 hours, and worst of all, getting banned from the park for cursing at
those good-for-
nothing low-down 12 year old kill/stealers.....

HEY!!! Now you ppl have me doing it! anyone have the number of a good
shrink?
Preferrably one near the Karanas, so I don't have to rebind!;-)

Have a good trip and bring back some muffins and milk for the rest of us.
(BB stout would
be even better!)

Consider the whole event as a GM event that gives you good faction with
the family. Since it's a GM event, there isn't anybody you can slay with
any thing sharper than your wit.

Beware the rabid, drunken tourist who may try throwing up on your shoes
or insulting your wife. This mob is hiding from security.

Do make out your quest list of rides and shopping items- this gives the
best faction with YourFamily.

While waiting in line for your seat in a particularly busy ride to
spawn, remember it can always be worse. This line is nothing compared to
Ragefire or even Dylin Starshine, and it's not a camp you have to repeat
over and over.

They are Corflunk and Zarchoomi. Though I think Cornflake and Zucchini will
get more laughs.

Actually its Cornflunk and Zarchoomi. But Cornflake and Zuchinni are
really funny.
