    We did it tonight!! It was so funny. Actually the guy picked up and hung up on me the first time so I just called back. He answered and was truly surprised there was a real person on the other end. He said he was actually expecting a Disney recording when he picked up. He was a Florida native. We just both laughed, kept to quick small talk and hung up.

    If you get the fax buzz, it just rang too long before anyone picked up.. try again in a few minutes!
    We have had a ball with this! Hoping the calls don't show up on our cell phone bills!!!

    That was to fun. Just called one of the numbers and a woman answered. Freaked her out at first took a second for her to actually resopond but then talked for a few and then she gave it to her daughter. The daugher really didnt have a clue what to say so I told her to have a great time at Illuminations and have some fish and chips for me. That was great.

    Last time I was in Epcot, I sat across from the phones, next to the pub. I called several times, as people walked by, or went into the booth, it was too funny. Next to me was a couple from Australia and they were enjoying it too, watching the people walk by and hear the phone and then trying to decide if they wanted to answer it.

    Hi all, I have decided to get involved on here. I haven't been on much since I registered last year.

    Anyway, there was a radio show in Orlando (I think it was on Heartbeat radio?) who call these numbers up often and play games with the people who picked up. I don't know if they still do that but it was very funny to listen to.

    Ackk! We were just there a couple of weeks ago and this was one thing I forgot!

    I did get pictures of my daughter standing in one with the door closed and open.

    On the picture of the door open, I put in a caption - it's bigger on the inside.

    That's a Doctor Who reference for those who did not catch it.

    I had no idea you could call the phone box. That's pretty funny. My husband is from England. I should have him call and mess with someone.

    Great idea! He could say he is from Arkansas. When they say but you have a British accent, he could deny it and say the phone must be changing his accent.

    We did this on our trip a couple weeks ago and it was hilarious! I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard! My mom had a 10-minute conversation with a little boy, who was maybe 5 or 6 years old, who answered the phone (and we were just across the street so we watched him as he talked). She started off by asking him if he could tell her where Cinderella was, and he went on and on about the castle, his favorite rides, his favorite characters...it was a hoot! He even put the rest of his family on one by one! Then on another call, my Dbf pretended like he was calling Rose & Crown and ordering fish and chips to be delivered to his room. The woman who answered totally thought he was serious and kept saying, "But I don't work there! I'm just here on vacation!"
