Yes, those three red phone booths in the U.K. You might say the phone booths are my Kryptonite. But if I did, the booths might be where I imagine transforming into Disney, Super P.I. I am drawn to these British red telephone boxes, originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, every time I'm in Epcot. Call the Epcot Phone BoothsĮxcept when I'm at Epcot's World Showcase at the United Kingdom Pavilion or at its neighbor, Canada. Generally, though, when I walk by a Disney payphone, it's something I admire from a distance, something I see as a nostalgic bit of technology and not a means of communication. Stopping at a pay phone is a classic way to conduct surveillance, after all. I simply find the nearest public phone and call WDW Dining, for free, by pressing *88. I've even found Disney public phones and payphones to be convenient for making a last-minute Advance Dining Reservation in order to follow a suspect to a favorite watering hole. (My informants tell me not to use a credit card or call outside the local area unless you have a high-roller client and an expense account.) I know payphones might be useful for other guests as a cheap option for those making a local call using coins. And it's good to see so many phones offer a TTY (TeleTypewriter) system for guests who need such assistive devices. It's comforting to know I have the option in case my battery dies and I don't have the time to visit Guest Relations, with my on-site 'Gal Fridays'. I'm glad payphones are still present at Walt Disney World theme parks and resorts. Walt Disney World Payphones and Public Phones

Like many others, I rely on my cell phone. Today, I still carry a trusty notebook - disguised as a Disney autograph book so as to not arouse suspicion - but have little use for the payphone. I'd pick up the receiver, throw in two bits, and offer my latest reports on the magic. Notebook in hand, I used to check in with clients using the nearest payphone in the parks. Times and technology have changed since I first hit the streets as Disney P.I.
