Talking trash can at Disney World

[Neo]

Last week I took a much needed vacation to Disney World (Florida not California). On the very first day we witnessed something that I feel was the best entertainment I got while I was on vacation. No ride Disney has can compare with what we saw and luckily the new point and shoot camera we bought takes great video (much better than what YouTube allows).

Posted below are three videos but all were taken around the same time and all were at Animal Kingdom around the petting zoo (only accessible by train from the main part of the park). The recycling bin looked exactly like all the other trash cans and recycling bins at the park with one exception:

We saw his 'cousin' at Magic Kingdom a few days later except that one was a regular trash can, but again looked like all the other trash cans in that particular park. Funny enough that the guy controlling and talking remembered us (the person controlling and talking hides very well and is very hard to spot) and ended up having a conversation with all of us. When asked where we were from he called us "North Carolinites" and requested a group hug. I wish now that we would have gotten a picture taken with him.

That is hilarious. Would be a hit on the streets of many cities. Too bad it would be stolen though.

i remember seeing something similar to that when i was a kid at disney world. i think it was a robot wandering around and talking to people. the guy controlling it was hidden, probably underground.

The guy controlling this one had on long sleeves, a backpack, cap, and looked just like everyone else in the crowd. A wire with a mic on the end went from his backpack, through his shirt, up his sleeve and he held it in his hand to talk into it. His mouth moved like that of a ventriloquist though. He did try to keep his distance though. Interestingly on the last video I posted above, he knew that we had noticed him so he came over to us and acted like he was part of our family to blend in. I certainly hope he is well paid because he pulls this off very well and is highly entertaining.
