Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[KingdomHearts]

We're just back from an amazingly wonderful five days - and here's one of my funny moments.

My 2-year-old granddaughter had been running around in one of the Fort Wilderness stores, and she fell and smacked her head on the floor. She's very fair-skinned, so this left a big red bump on her forehead. A while later, after we'd picked up our purchases and were getting ready to pay for them. The CM at the cash register said to my granddaughter: "Oh, how did you hurt your head?" She said "Like this!" and ran across the floor, then threw herself down, once again smacking her head on the floor. The funniest part was the horrified expression on the CM's face.

OMG! That is so funny! :lmao: :eek: :headache:

We just recently returned from our grand gatherings of 16. We had 8 adults and 8 children. Well you can imagine how many times everyone had to make bathroom breaks and how many times the women and girls would have to wait in the ladies line to the restroom. Well after a while, my sister started referring to the restroom as the "Great Restroom Ride". It caught on and we referred to it that way the rest of the trip. You should have seen some of the inquisitive looks we would get when one of us would ask to the sixteen, "Who wants to visit the Great Bathroom Ride?"

[cmonroe]

I was in EPCOT today in Morocco and this husband and wife were walking up to the camel and the husband said "What country is this" without missing a beat the wife replied "MOSCOW!!!!!" she was serious!!!

I'd love to see a camel in Moscow. Think they hook snowplows up to them?

LOL. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

That and we all forgot that Moscow was a country!!!:confused3 :confused3:confused: :confused:

[BeautyNBeast]

Yesterday, we were at AK waiting in line to see Lilo and Stitch. The lady behind us (who had 2 daughters) asked us how long it takes to take a picture with them. I responded, well people want autographs too. A few minutes later, she asked us if she can go ahead of us because FOTLK was about to start and her husband was waiting for them. I said I did not care (it was just me and my DH). Anyways, the funny thing was, her kids probably took longer than any other child up there, because she kept taking photos and more photos and more photos.

[larkles]

My grandparents took my sister and I, along with some friends of theirs, to the Magic Kingdom for the day. My sister and I convinced them all to go on Thunder Mountain - my grandparents knew it was a roll :earsboy: ercoaster, and they both like them. Their friends didn't apparently know what it was, and we must have never mentioned that it was a rollercoaster. We get on the train, and just as the ride starts, my grandmother's friend starts yelling "Oh my God, this train has no driver!!" And then she screamed through the entire ride. She thought we were going on a train ride

I haven't made it all the way through this thread yet. I use it as a pick-me-up when I'm feeling the Disney blues. :)

I'm glad I have one to add though! It's more cute than really funny. It's about Disney, not at Disney.

My 3 and 5 yo dds are always asking when we can go back again. (All of us had our first trip in Sep 06.) Well a week or so ago, my 5 yo comes up to me and says, "Mommy, when can we go back to Disney World again?" Before I could get out my standard "Someday" or "Soon, I hope," she said, "Because I really liked riding those buses everyday!":goodvibes

[KingdomHearts]

Forget the rides.... bring on the busses!! That is soo cute!

[Kimberly815]

This didn't happen at Disney- but is Disney related.

Yesterday, my DH and I went to NYC to see the 3pm show of Beauty and the Beast (wanted to make sure to see it before it closing). There was a cute Mom and Daughter next to us. The daughter had brought her Belle doll with her and kept asking when the show would start so she could see Belle.

Well the show starts, and the little girl was obviously enjoying it. Every once in a while something cute would just pop out of her mouth- just loud enough for us to hear.

We get to the part where Maurice is running into the Tavern to tell Gaston and everyone that the Beast is keeping Belle locked up- and Gaston and everyone in the tavern start laughing at Maurice, saying he is crazy. Well, just as they all stop laughing, my DH and I hear the little girl next to us say "Hey! That's not funny!"

:lmao: :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

We tried to keep out giggles silent, but it didn't work too well!

[sl_underwood]

Just wanted to add our funny moments...

One evening at Crystal Palace we saw a middle aged woman jump on Piglet and wrap her legs around his waist. Poor Piglet nearly lost his head. The funniest reaction was my dds (she was 9 at the time) she screamed "Lady, leave piglet alone!"
and then to us "Can you believe an old lady would act like that, geez whats wrong with her?"

Another funny, happened on Expedition Everest, DD, 12 at the time, started screaming as the ride had just began its descent "Daddy make it stop!" Of course dh could do nothing but tell her it would be okay. We tease her because once it was over it became her favorite ride. Granted, we probably should have planned better so everest wasnt her first coaster.

[jonslola]

My DS(10) will KILL me, but last year we were in line to ride EE. We were all VERY excited, as it was our first time riding it. Well, DS was thrilled when he got to ride in the FRONT. While standing there, he looked at the people in line in front of him and said,' I'm so excited, I just far--d!" Needless to say I was, :scared1: and:eek: And the people just looked at him and turned around. I guess he was just delirious with joy?:confused3

Here's a story from my childhood. My parents got seasonal passes for all of us and would take us to WDW a couple times of year. (No we weren't rich. My mom is the queen of good cheap.) One time we were getting ready to leave for the parks and my youngest bro said, "I don't want to go to Disney. I want to stay at the hotel."

On a different trip, we were riding Spaceship Earth. We heard some snoring from the car in front of us. My middle bro shouts "Mom quit snoring! You're going to wake up all the dead people." He then proceeded to explain how all the audioanimas were dead people that Disney bought.

[larkles]

Our first visit as a family was when DS#2 was almost 3. We were in AK when we saw Chip, Dale and someone else(?) spread out around the meet and greet circle. I don't think DS even knew who they were.

All of a sudden, DS runs to Chip and grabs his hand, he starts to pull him across the circle, very insistently! I ask "Honey What are you doing? Say hello to Chip!" :confused3

DS says very seriously to Chip "Hurry, your friend is over here!: DS dragged him across the circle then says "Here he is!"

He looked so proud of himself once the two were together! I think Chip may have been worried about being kidnapped by a 3 yr old :rotfl:

Now that's funny!

[disneymom3]

Mine is something we continue to giggle at but still feel a tiny bit guilty over. Last trip as we were leaving MK on the tram the announcer guy at the back had a very strong accent. Now, first off I have to say I am always blown away by people who are able to speak English as well as he and I know I would not be doing nearly as a good of a job in their country. As we take off and he announces where we will be stopping, he says various names including "Slippy and Doopey" DD looks at me and says "WHERE are we going???" And DS at the exact same time says "Who are THEY?" I just lost it. I tried so incredibly hard not to giggle. And I could have pulled it off if the two of them had not looked so confused. So, I sat there shaking with my giggles and not speaking. Then the kids turn to dad "What did that guy say?" DH, totally straight face says "I have no idea. Guess we will find out when we get there." Oh I just totally lost it then.

[momof5boys]

Not as funny as some but it was to me. My DS was 6 at the time,we were riding IASW (his 1st time at WDW) When we were halfway through the ride he taps on my arm and asked "mom is this almost over?" I tell him almost and then ask why? He stated " cuz it's really stupid!" :rotfl2: I was practically crying by the time the ride was over I was laughing so hard!

That reminds me. Last trip was the first for DD8 & DD4. I've never liked IASW (don't flame me! I know some of you love it... ok someone, somewhere loves it.. :rotfl2: ) so I boarded the boat with some trepidation (I was determined not to let my likes or dislikes colour my kids feelings for the rides. Let 'em make up their own minds on what they like or don't). Not a word was uttered during the ride; OMG does that mean that they like it? Am I going to have to sit on this ride ten more times? After we disembarked, I nervously asked them if they had enjoyed it. I was treated to a chorus of, "Not really" and "No". Two years later they still mention the 'doll boat ride' as the one ride they didn't really care for. :rotfl:

Your bro was right! I have it on good authority that none of the audioanimatronics are alive. :lmao:

Security came in and made her get off poor piglet but they didnt kick her out just warned her that her behavior was unacceptable.

[Anie87]

It didn't happen IN WDW so to speak, but we always fly down from MI to WDW and every time we're waiting in the terminal in MI to go to MCO, it always seems like every family is going to MCO for WDW too. Last time I was there, there was a family of 4 and the little girl, I'd say about 3-4 years old dressed in all Disney princess attire, wouldn't sit still and kept asking "Are we almost there? How much longer? Where's Mickey? Where's the Castle? When are we gonna be there?" It was pretty cute!

[luvthephunk]

My favorite was a couple standing right in front of me while I was working, were discussing where cast members live. Apparently, the majority of cast members live in apartment buildings underneath the Magic Kingdom.

I really wanted to step in and say something to this couple, but I was afraid the only answer out of my mouth was going to be a sarcastic one so I kept my mouth shut.

The only reason my girls liked the IASW ride was because it annoyed their parents. For hours after they hummed the song just to annoy us.

Yep, there's a huge underground cavern underneath the MK that not only houses our apartments, but also our shopping malls (300 stores, but they all sell the same plush items and t-shirts), private amusement park (it's where we moved 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Alien Encounter and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride), Cast Member Brainwash-and-Dry, and best of all, the Secret Lair for World Domination. My favorite location down there in Utilidoorville is the Michael Eisner Wading Pool -- it's full of money Bob Iger rolls around in when he comes to visit.

If you ever get lucky enough to go down there, ask to see the Audio-Animatronic of Walt Disney that Roy Disney had built to dispense brotherly advice and backrubs.

SSHHHHH!!! Don't tell everybody! All of that is considered proprietary knowledge!

[twinmommyks]

Okay, this funny one involves my ds4 (at the time). We were at Epcot early and it was very empty and we were just walking around the countries, when all of a sudden our ds4 starts taking off running, for no apparent reason. The only people close by are a little boy about 2 and his mother. The boy is running a few feet in front of the mom. When all of a sudden, my ds4 catches up with the boy, wraps his arms around him and takes him to the ground. :scared1:

My dh, who is not as quick as ds4, finally catches up with him and is totally shocked at our son tackling this lady's son. Me and my other 2 kids are standing back just watching this all play outpopcorn::

When dh returns, our ds4 explains that he was afraid that this little boy was running away from his mom and was going to get lost, so he wanted to help.:)

My dh was quite embarrased having to separate our son from her son and try to figure out why he tackled her son. The mom had a look of shock on her face not knowing what was going on and understandably so.

This was way out of character for ds 4 to tackle someone because he is such an easy-going child, but he truly thought he was doing something good for this mother. The vision of my ds4 taking off and tackling this child is still very vivid and I giggle every time I think of it. :rotfl2: And, luckily no one was injured.

[troijka]

Here is my funny WDW story: Memorial Day weekend last year in the MK was CROWDED....
Well, we were walking past Cinderella fountain in FAntasyland and I saw two couples of early, mid-twenty somethings and one of the girls was saying "where do you want to go next??? Tomorrowland? Frontierland?" and one of the guys answered "Tobaccoland. Where is that delightful little smoking area????"
Too funny...

[Disney 4 Me]

During my family's trip in May of 2005, we were getting on the parking lot tram, heading to AK. Another family was getting off, heading to their car. The father must have been at his limit with his two kids, probably about 3 and 5. He had one of those mister fans. He said that the next one to whine would get squirted in the face. :rotfl: We still laugh at that comment.

[agame2323]

Funniest comment I have ever heard by FAR!!!
Okay, so we are at Typhoon Lagoon one afternoon standing in line waiting for the lazy river. Next to me is the nicest looking boy, about 5 or 6 years old. As we are waiting for the next group of tubes to become available, I notice some guy in a pair of Speedos walking out of the river :eek: . This man was not in the best shape either. As he started to walk towards us, the kid next to me in sheer amazement, looks up at his mother and says “mom that guy has on undies, you said no undies. He has on undies right mom?” Needless to say the kid was RELENTLESS on his incidental verbal attack. His mother started pulling him in the water and placing him in the tube…but the kid kept on saying things as he floated away. “Mom did you see that guy had on undies?” “You said no undies mom.” As for the Speedo guy, he looked back once, but continued to walk away. There was a nice crowd of people who all had that [I want to laugh but I won’t] look on their face.

We were laughing :lmao: when we got into the water. It didn’t seem to upset the guy but I felt a little sorry for him. Parents…be careful what you tell your kids. They may just bring it up at the worse time.

In the early '90s, back when my family was dedicated to being in line at the gates prior to park opening, we were standing in the crowd waiting to enter MK. The opening ceremony included a small marching band with a conductor. The wife of the couple in front of us pointed to the conductor and very seriously informed her husband..."Look there, that must be Walt Disney leading the band." Now, everytime we see live musicians in WDW we ask why Walt's not conducting...:rotfl:

This is a great thread! (And, this is my first post! :) )

This past Feb. my family was staying at WL. Well, my Aunt had the greatest idea, we should eat at the "Roaring Fart", I didn't know that the Roaring Fork had changed its name;) We still tease her about it, it was the funniest thing. I ofcourse, call the Flame Tree BBQ just "BBQ tree":rotfl: I can never remember the name correctly:confused3

Here's mine; A few years ago a friend and I were walking through the world showcase in Epcot. There was a group of teenage girls in front of us. One said to the other," What country are we in now, Paris?" One of the other girls said "NO, we are in Italy" Another girl replied" Duh.... Italy is in Paris!" The other girls were just like "OH, thats right, I forgot!" My friend and I were already a little tipsy from the margaritas in Mexico, so we had such a good laugh over that!:lmao:

Ok, so we weren't AT WDW when DS said this, but he just mentioned it yesterday...

I was talking about our next trip (next May) and asking DS (nearly 3) what rides he would like to go on again when we go back. He was talking and talking about riding on the flying floors. Took the longest time for me to figure out that he meant the Magic Carpets! And people told me that he wouldn't remember our last trip because he was so young. He remembers, his memories just need a little translation, that's all!

My nephew just asked me today where we are staying on our next trip. I told him probably AKL. He said they are staying at the Jazz Inn. I told him there was no such thing. He insisted that there is. I told him that I think they are staying at ASMo. He still insisted that it is the Jazz Inn. I guess he'll see when he gets there.

While at Epcot, my 10 yr old brother had to go to the bathroom and take care of some business. As he was in there, is started POURING!
As soon as it had started, the rain stopped. Little brother walks out looking surprised and asked, "Oh, did they wash the floors?"

When we were laughing & telling him it had rained, he said, "Well, it is Disney, they do like to keep things clean!

Just shows you how unexpected & fast those showers can be!

Alright - not IN WDW, but I wanna get this post rolling again - such funny stuff here!

I always offer my Disney planning skills to all those I know that are planning a trip... Anything to talk and think Disney, right?! :rolleyes: When someone told me they were looking forward to staying at POFQ because it had a boat to MK, I knew they needed more help than I had to give! :rotfl: Oh dear - I did try to set them straight, to no avail... :sad2:

I was in Norway's Stave Church at Epcot, which for those of you who may never have ventured in, is a historical museum. The doors to the museum are kept closed so as to keep the exhibits at the proper temperature for preservation, but the building's door proclaims that it is a museum and visitors are welcome.

So I'm standing there, admiring Eric the Red, when the door opens quickly. A woman and her husband, looking tired after a long day of touring, stop short in the doorway and take in their surroundings. The more they absorb of the situation, the more their faces begin to differ. The husband looks bemused, while the wife looks, well, angry. I wasn't sure why, but then suddenly it all became clear.

With a loud smack, the wife hit the husband on the shoulder and exclaimed, "I told you 'Historical Stave Gallery' wasn't a euphemism for restroom, you idiot!"

[ThunderMTexpert]

My favorite, while waiting for the MK parade: "Sit down, shut up, and don't breathe." That became the family motto for years and we still say it now to get a laugh...The kids would NOT behave and the mother was frustrated and it just came out-wrong.

Another favorite-Walking out of MGM one night, it had rained and there were puddles everywhere. There were these two adorable little girls jumping in all the puzzles and singing that commercial jingle "I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!" Hilarious.

i'm embarrassed to say- u might have over heard this from MY family! LOL--

That's alright. They'll probably be excited when they get into MK for free, but disappointed when they find out there's no rides. Just shopping and eating.
Just tell them they have to try Wolfgang Puck for lunch at MK. :)

Just tell them they have to try Wolfgang Puck for lunch at MK. :)

:lmao: Too funny! Knowing my luck they'd probably come back with, "There's no Wolfgang Punch at MK." :confused3

[helloirishkitty]

At the magical light parade, a mum to her son, "If you don't shut up now- Mickey's going to jump off that float and spank you!!!"

I heard one like this when I was at MK watching Cinderellabration. The kids in front of us were singing and their Mom screamed, rather loudly..

"you remember that mean octopus from the little mermaid? keep singing and ruining the show for everyone and you'll get your voices stolen too"

:rolleyes1

I bet these kids didn't want autographs after their parents corrupted their minds....mean parents!

Recently got back from a trip with my sister, Rhonda, and a couplke of friends. I like to talk to the cast members, especially in the World Showcase, where I'll use whatever words of their language I know. Every time on the trip that I said something to a cast member in their language (and you’d be amazed at the number of little words you know in other languages!), Rhonda would say konnichiwa.


I say to Rhonda, "Is that the only foreign phrase you know?"


And Rhonda (taker of 37 trips to Walt Disney World) replies, "Yes, it’s too bad there’s not a Japan in the World Showcase."


Uh, Rhonda???… :confused:

[wise king mickey]

This thread is too good.

At RnRC in MGM, the preshow area features Aerosmith preparing for a concert. And I swear, this guy behind me, 60-something probably, said "Hey, it's Motley Crue!"

Now, I think he was joking, but then I went into conniptions.

[Poppins62]

Last week we were at the entrance to EPCOT where they check your bags. A little girl behind us asked the security guard if they were checking for mouse-traps. I thought that was pretty funny......obviously she was very concerned about the safety of Mickey Mouse.:lmao:

[micknpluto]

My brother was ordering a beer at the beer stand in front of the Rose & Crown. The girl asked for his ID. He hands her his DL and she looks at it, and proceeds to say.. (in her british accent) "Oh, you're a Taurus? "he says... " Isnt everyone a tourist around here?"

[PDJPrinceCharming]

Ok this one made me & my friend & several others laugh.

Ok we just get done at Fantasmic & as we are headed out of the stadium, there are like 20-30 people wearing brightly colored Disney shirts & screaming loudly. We get away & head towards RNRC, when we get there we encounter these people who now are screaming things about Finance & what not. I look over as i'm about to enter the doors to G Force & yell out to them, "You tell 'em Steve Dave" in my best Fanboy from Mallrats voice. Clearly had several people & one of the CM's laughing at that one. One of them looks over & the rest immediately get quiet noticeably embarrassed. Shame, we never saw the Finance people again.

After returning from DS's first Disney trip at 18mo we were at the mall and he saw the giant Mickey at the Disney Store. He screamed, "Look Disney World!"

we were in cinderellas castle for dinner one night last summer and this lady with lets say 3 or 4 kids is getting tired and is ready to go back to her hotel room. anyways we were talking to her and she says excuse me for one moment and she turns to one of her kids and says dont make me beat you in the happiest place on earth!! omg i have never laughed so hard in my life before!!!:lmao:

This reminded me of something that happened to me! (at DL, not WDW)

We had just parked and got out of the car and I was stretching and my shirt rose up a bit, and my mother cought a glimpse of the tattoo just below my bellybutton. (I was 17 at the time:rolleyes1 ) She freaked out and I convinced her it was a temporary one. she ended the conversation with:

"Good, because I'd hate to have to F****** kill you when we're about to go to DISNEYLAND!":rotfl: Not her best moment (or mine for that matter)

[boston1029]

This didn't happen at WDW, but in my own kitchen today. My dh(epcotmatt) and I were listening to live365 Disney music and talking about his favorite park, Epcot and he said "if Epcot were a man, I'd be gay." I think that he loves Epcot more than I thought. Thank goodness he can't marry a park or I'd be single right now!:rotfl2:

[GemmaPixie]

Not at WDW but about Disney. Me and my mates were talking about if we were to build a theme park, what the theme would be. One said Angel/Devil theme, another said 50s theme and so on. Then my best friend pipes up and says 'If I were to build a theme park I'd make it all Disney..Disney rides, Disney characters- the lot!' We all burst out laughing and said 'Eh ______, I think there already is that theme....it's called DISNEY WORLD!!' She just looked at us and said 'Oh c*ap- the stole my idea!!!'

funniest day ever

[StephaBabe50]

We were walking down Main Street and
there was an older couple behind us.
The woman was like "So this is Downtown

"Yup, here it is!":lmao:

[Starstruckdancer]

My Dad and I were at the Poly and we were in line to go down the water slide. And this dad and his younger daughter were in front of us.
"I don't want to go down the slide" the girl said crying.
Then the dad shouted "I don't care! Go down the slide or were going home. No Mickey Mouse, no Ice cream, no rides!"
They were quiet the whole time till they got to the slide and the girl cried some more but her dad made her go down. I didn't see them again.

[Loafmastermom]

o.k., I am on like page 10 of this thread but I had to share. 4 years ago when DS was 4, we took a potty break near POTC (you know where the walkway shortcut is?). Anyway, DH is in the men's room and DS came with me. DS goes first and then when I am finished with my turn (trying not to be too graphic:) ), I turn to flush. Hadn't been to this potty in a few years and apparently they flush on their own now. In fact, they flush so powerfully that if your sunglasses are hooked on the front of your shirt and slide off, they will go right down the drain! My son looks at me with these HUGE eyes and says "Mom, it just.. did that?... OMG!" I told him it was o.k. and I would just buy another pair. When we met up with DH, DS tells him "THE TOILET ATE MOM'S SUNGLASSES!!!!" Until I explained the whole story, I think DH was a little scared, too! :laughing:

[Loafmastermom]

p.s. George Plimpton was great!;)

[Buzz Litebeer]

Does this mean you think George Plimpton is hot, Buzz? ;)

Well, let's briefly look at the guy, shall we?

Plimpton, with his ivy-league accent and distinguished looks screamed "academian" (when Epcot opened he was seen daily on television as the spokesman for Mattel's IntelliVision video game console -- later he'd host "Mouseterpiece Theater" for the Disney Channel). However, Plimpton was notorious for constantly trying to expand his horizons. He was present at the assassination of Robert Kennedy and wrestled Sirhan Sirhan to the ground. He competed in several professional sporting events (including the PGA Tour) and later wrote books about his experiences from the point of view of an amateur. He was a US tank driver serving in Italy during WW2.

To me, he epitomizes what Epcot is: absolutely fascinating once you get to know it, but with a reputation for being rather stodgy.

Off topic but had to comment -- that happened to me once ... only it was my cell phone! My friend tried calling it as it was flushing. I didn't answer. You had to hear me explain that to the t-mobile guy!!

[resol37]

Yep, there's a huge underground cavern underneath the MK that not only houses our apartments, but also our shopping malls (300 stores, but they all sell the same plush items and t-shirts), private amusement park (it's where we moved 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Alien Encounter and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride), Cast Member Brainwash-and-Dry, and best of all, the Secret Lair for World Domination. My favorite location down there in Utilidoorville is the Michael Eisner Wading Pool -- it's full of money Bob Iger rolls around in when he comes to visit.

If you ever get lucky enough to go down there, ask to see the Audio-Animatronic of Walt Disney that Roy Disney had built to dispense brotherly advice and backrubs.

I'm reading my way backwards through this thread until I reach where I last left off and I just hit this post.

I believe it may be the best thing I've ever read on the Dis.

[dreamn_Disney]

My mom loves IASW. It is her favorite ride. The first time I took dd to WDW I told her we had to ride it because it was Grams favorite ride. When we got off the boat she was super mad at me. She said I lied about it being Grams favorite just to get her on that horrible ride. I kept telling her it was and now at 16 she still hates it.

My nephew (4 at the time) had to go the the bathroom after Pirates ride and the lady in the stall next to him (and my sister) had a cane. My nephew looked down, saw the cane and said VERY LOUDLY "Mom, that lady has a PEG LEG"! I just about died laughing and the lady was snickering in her stall. My sister didn't want to come out until everyone had left and her face was red! I thought it was hilarious!

Also, on the plane trip there (same nephews first airplane trip) as we taxied out to the end of the runway he started YELLING "GO FASTER WE'RE GONNA DIE".

At the end of a long night at MK, we stopped in the store at the entrance to get some camera batteries. It's the same place where you return wheelchairs. An older lady was waiting for her family who was in the store, and she must have been tired so she sat in one of the returned chairs left out front. When we were in line we heard a little girl yelling "Grandma, get out of that wheelchair!" And when she didn't get out, the girl yelled "Grandma, you get out of that wheelchair right now! You're normal! You can walk like a regular person!" The grandmother was mortified, as there were people approaching to return their own chairs at the time. :rotfl:

:rotfl:

I can just anticipate my daughter getting even with me on this vacation all over a "fib" I told her when she was younger.
To begin with she was one of those "busy" children that used to push all the buttons on an elevator when we would get on one anywhere. To break her of this habit I used to tell her if you push all the buttons sometimes the elevator will go sideways and you won't know where you will end up. And yes this time we go to Disney MGM, and ride the TOWER OF TERROR I can just wait for her to tell me, " . . . I didn' push any buttons, and we are going sideways. . . " So I guess you better be careful what you say and plan ahead for pay backs.
Wish us luck, I am afraid of that ride, never did it and this time promised her we will.

[hiddenj]

Others may not find this as funny as I do, but I just couldn't believe what I heard. Dh and I were sitting on the curb at MGM waiting for the parade to start and this mom and boy were sitting next to us. A few minutes later, dad and brother came back with 4 drinks and cotton candy. Now the drinks were the brightly colored drinks (12 oz cups) that are pure sugar. They hand out the drinks, and dad says to mom "should I handout some cotton candy?" Mom replies "only a little bit, cotton candy has a lot of sugar and I don't want them to get sick." As soon as I walked away I couldn't stop laughing. 12oz of sugar won't make them sick, but cotton candy will? Something seems wrong with this thinking.

Son to mother: When are we going to Disney World? (Taking place in front of "Great Movie Ride" at MGM.)

[cdvictorin]

The funniest thing DH and I heard was when we were waiting for the MGM bus at the Port Orleans hotel. When we got to the bus stop area, there was a family:a little girl, mom, dad, and a grandmother. The mom says to her little girl, "Say hi to grandmother." The little girls looks at her grandmother and says, "Hi stinky." My DH and I tried not to laugh and keep a straight face while the mother told her girl it was not nice to call grandmother stinky. The little girl continued on by saying grandmother was not allowed on the bus. We found it amusing because we were both raised to respect our elders and could not believe our ears. It was funny and sad at the same time.

[radev104]

I have funny stories but I don't have time to post them now...getting ready for my girlfriend to come down on Friday so we can leave for the World on Sunday...hoping we will have more funnies on this trip...especially my girlfriend hasn't been there since she was really little...Have a nice week everyone...I will be cleaning and packing all week.

[youngdizluva18]

My family and I were walking out of AKL one morning on our way to MK as we passed by the check-in desk. Suddenly, my younger sister screams out "Look Mom! Jesus works at Disney World!" We all look over to a man behind the desk, whos nametag did indeed read "Jesus", giving us the dirtiest looks. At the bus stop, my mom had to explain to my sister that the man's name was not pronounced the same as Jesus from church.

It was a hot day and we asked him if he wanted some ice-cream and he responds "yes, I want that pokadot ice-cream"......it took us awhile to figure out he wanted the dippin dots icecream. We just couldn't stop laughing :rotfl:

On a serious note, does WDW have a Dippin' Dots stand anywhere? It's my favorite ice cream. I cannot imagine being in WDW on a hot summer day without it. For those who do not know, it's THE coldest ice cream in the world (trust me). They take the ice cream mixture and dump into a huge vat of dry ice. The dry ice is so cold that it freezes the ice cream instantly. The ice cream hardens into little beads about the size of the pellets they use in BB guns. That's why it's called Dippin' Dots.

[pednurse]

Nope, no Dippin' Dots anywhere at the world last week. Had to wait until we returned home to get some (they're at our mall and a local park).....and just discovered a new brand of them at Walmart in the freezer section. Yum!

Funniest thing I have ever heard was during the MVMCP parade last December. My DH, DD and I were chatting with a couple of different families while waiting for the parade to start and we all told where we are from.

When I was 12 my mom took me and my brother to Disney for the first time (I went when I was 2.5 but don't remember). We were swimming in the ASSp pool one day and I was talking to another girl about my age. When I told her I was from Canada her response was "Oh cool! Do you live in an igloo??"

I don't remember if I said anything back to her or not, just remember thinking how rediculous and cliche it was.

OK, so we're in Pecos Bill's Cafe about lunchtime, and it's packed. My mom-in-law, daughter & son-in-law go off to find a table, while the other three of us wait in line. (My DMIL is in a wheelchair and is also blind so she's totally unaware how close together people are seated.)
Anyway, the line is moving so slow that my DH decides to call our daughter about 20 minutes later and let her know that we're still in line and ask where they found a table. (The seating area is really big).
But DD never answered her cell; after we were all seated, we realized that she had not been able to hear the ring due to the noise in the restaurant. After considering this for some time, my wonderful mom-in-law suddenly says, in a very loud voice, "You need a vibrator!!" :scared1:
Obviously, she meant the ringer on the phone should vibrate, but of course, the folks around us heard only her comment. The stares we got!!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Kinda OT, cause this didn't happen IN WDW, but at a retirement community NEAR WDW when we went to WDW and eastern Florida to visit my grandma in 1987. We were relaxing near the pool, surrounded by many very friendly retired persons. My grandma introduced my brother and I to an elderly gentleman friend of hers, he asked where we were from, and we relplied "Montana". He thought about this for a minute, then, with a thoughtful look on his face, asked "Well, how did you get here?". I replied, "We flew." He said, "On a plane?!?" I answered, "Yes." Even more confused, he now asked, "You have AIRPORTS in Montana?" I was sorely tempted to reply with a smart-@$$ remark like "No, we took Pony Express to Spokane and flew from there!" but I didn't... respect for your elders and all that. I thought my grandma would hurt herself trying not to laugh. :rotfl:

My grandma introduced my brother and I to an elderly gentleman... "my brother and me", not "I"

Sorry -- I just finished reading through the entire 158+ pages of this thread. I was able to resist correcting grammar on years-old posts, but it was hard sometimes. Unfortunately yours is the last post, so I did it just this once to get it out of my system. ;)

The only relevant story I can think of at the moment follows.

DD8 is really looking forward to our upcoming Disney trip. She's never been there, so DW and I have been talking to her about it, trying to build the excitement a bit. DW asked her recently if she's looking forward to meeting any of the characters.

DD8: "No way, Mom. Those are mascots." She said the word "mascots" as if it were a four-letter word, with a serious and slightly disturbed look on her face.

DW: "What do you mean, honey? What's wrong with them?"

DD8: "They're not real, Mom. There's a person inside there! That's creepy!"

Apparently DD9 is totally weirded out by the concept of a person running around in a costume pretending to be something else. Now DW and I refer to anything or anyone negative as a "mascot." :)

I once passed a man telling what appeared to be his grandson that he had a picture of himself with Walt in front of Spaceship Earth. Anyone else wonder how he pulled that off???

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

When I was 12 my mom took me and my brother to Disney for the first time (I went when I was 2.5 but don't remember). We were swimming in the ASSp pool one day and I was talking to another girl about my age. When I told her I was from Canada her response was "Oh cool! Do you live in an igloo??"

I don't remember if I said anything back to her or not, just remember thinking how rediculous and cliche it was.That comment has been made so many times that it's not even funny anymore. If it ever happens to me I would feel like saying what about the people who live in such cities like New York City, Buffalo, Chicago, Boston and Alaska. It's also very cold there during the winter months, so how is Canada any different?

I do think part of the problem is how the Canadian Pavilion is made up and that video they keep showing, so it's time they renovate it to show how Canada really is.

[dqpowell]

If it ever happens to me I would feel like saying what about the people who live in such cities like New York City, Buffalo, Chicago, Boston and Alaska. It's also very cold there during the winter months, so how is Canada any different? FWIW, New York City and Boston don't get nearly as cold (or snowy) as Buffalo or Alaska. Their temperatures are moderated quite a bit by being on the coast.

I can sympathize with you as I live in upstate NY and have been to Canada dozens of times. On visits to Ottawa or Toronto in the summertime I always wonder if it gets colder there in the winter than my hometown. I would guess Toronto doesn't get as cold as it has Lake Ontario to help moderate the temps somewhat but I'd bet Ottawa gets really cold, being inland. Of course Ottawa is only about a three hour drive north, so it's probably not all that different than upstate NY.

[briar_rose_59]

Just to continue the "people who are clueless about Canada" tangent. ;) My law teacher was telling me about a couple she met that was convinced they were going skiing in Windsor, ON in July... Nevermind Windsor's south of Detroit, and the fact that they have no mountains (at least that I was aware of in the 4 years I lived there). But no, they were going to go skiing. :rolleyes1

DavidI remember a few years ago I was in WDW during the month of December when Buffalo got a major snow storm, however it did not hit Toronto. When I asked my Dad how is that possible, he said the same thing you mentioned about how Toronto has Lake Ontario to moderatre the temperature.

I remember a few years ago I was in WDW during the month of December when Buffalo got a major snow storm, however it did not hit Toronto. When I asked my Dad how is that possible, he said the same thing you mentioned about how Toronto has Lake Ontario to moderatre the temperature. More specifically, Toronto has Lake Ontario to help moderate the temperature, and furthermore it's on the northern shore, the relevancy of which will become apparent in a moment.

Buffalo is on the eastern shore of Lake Erie. Why does that matter? Because Lake Erie is (compared to the other great lakes) quite shallow. There isn't nearly as much actual water in there to help moderate temperatures. So little, in fact, that it freezes over by mid-January most years. When the top of the lake is frozen, it's more like a giant flat piece of land, and it no longer has the same moderating effect on temps.

Lake Ontario, on the other hand, is very deep by comparison. Some ice forms on it near the shorelines where it's shallower, but the majority of the lake never freezes over in the winter time. That makes a big difference.

As far as snowfall goes, Buffalo tends to get hit really hard early in the season. This is because the prevailing weather patterns move from west to east. When a cold air mass moves over Lake Erie from west to east, it picks up a lot of moisture off of the (not yet frozen) lake and dumps it on Buffalo. A few years ago Buffalo got over 7 feet of snow in the course of two days because of this -- right around Christmas time. Once Lake Erie froze later in the season, Buffalo got far less snow, but of course those cold air masses still moved in making it pretty cold.

Toronto is on the north shore of Ontario, and so doesn't get anywhere near as much snow. Cold air masses move east over Lake Ontario and pick up moisture, but since Toronto is north of the lake most of that moisture ends up falling to the south and west of it. Basically, over upstate NY, where I live. :)

Again, sorry for the sidetrack. Somebody post a funny Disney story!

[marciemi]

We recently moved from the Detroit area to Green Bay. Of course being in Detroit, no one thinks much of anything of going to Canada (Windsor) and if you asked most people what Canada was known for, the answer would probably be the Casinos! Getting Canadian change is common and no one would ever make the comments you guys are saying. But here in Green Bay, Canada is like, well, a foreign country or something!:rotfl: I've yet to met anyone whose actually visited there, and they find it fascinating that I have (we used to camp there many times each summer). Never found it that much different from Michigan, other than having to do quick math calculations for currency, distance, and temperature!

Anyways, a Disney related story at least to try to get this thread back on tangent! I was getting a perm today and talking to the stylist about going to Disney later this summer. She asked about cost since she said she'd really like to take a trip there someday. I explained the MYW concept and that it was negligibly more expensive to go for 10 days than for four days. I explained that this was because Disney expects you to go for 4 days, but then wants to keep you there, rather than visiting the other parks in Orlando. She then said "Oh, yeah, like Epcot!" Guess she needs to do a bit more research before planning that Disney trip!

Just out of curiousity, why is 'me' the correct usage? I really thought that it should be 'and I.' What's the language rule used to decide?

ETA: Yes, I am a teacher. However, I've been in kindergarten so long that I've forgotten a lot of the 'upper grades' rules! Yikes! I'm moving to 3rd next year. Guess it's time to get reaquainted with grammar!

[briar_rose_59]

Just out of curiousity, why is 'me' the correct usage? I really thought that it should be 'and I.' What's the language rule used to decide?

From what I understand, you have to be able to take out the "my brother" or whatever part and have it still make sense. So you wouldn't say "My grandma introduced I", you say "My grandma introduced me". I'm sure there's a ton of rules that just aren't coming to me at the moment, but that's the gist of it as far as I've learned lol.

Yup, you're right.

[dqpowell]

Just out of curiousity, why is 'me' the correct usage? I really thought that it should be 'and I.' What's the language rule used to decide? Here's the original statement: "My grandma introduced my brother and I to an elderly gentleman..."

Correct usage depends on whether the self-reference ("me" or "I") is the subject or object of the sentence. If it's the subject of the sentence, you use "I." If it's the object, you use "me." The easiest way to figure it out is to remove "my brother and." Does the statement still make sense?

"My grandma introduced I to an elderly gentleman..."

Nope! Sounds ridiculous now, because "I" is being used as the object, and should only be used as the subject. It's wrong in the original sentence as well but is harder to catch because "my brother and" masks the error. It should be:

"My grandma introduced me to an elderly gentleman..."

However, if the situation were different -- if the self-reference is the subject of the sentence -- then "I" is correct.

"My brother and I introduced grandma to an elderly gentleman..."

Let's use the same test to check it -- we'll remove "My brother and.".

"I introduced grandma to an elderly gentleman..."

Yup, it works. :)

As I understand it you only use 'I' in 'Mom introduced my Brother and I to..' if you would use it if talking about you only ie. 'Mom introduced I to..' which is wrong tou would say 'Mon introduced me to...' so me is the correct usage.

Last summer, my mom and I were staying at a hotel off sight and we were waiting for our cab to take us to Animal Kingdom. There was another family sitting next to us waiting for a cab as well asked where they were headed and the mom said, "We are going to Epcot today and tomorrow we are going to Disney World." :rotfl2:

It took a lot for me not to break out in laughter.

[HallGirl]

I just got back from Disney World and I heard lots of funny stuff on the buses. Unfortunately, I forgot them. I do remember one thing that I thought was strange. We stayed at Pop Century and to go up the stairs for each building (we were in the '70s, so we climbed the stairs with an 8-track) you have to pass by some bushes. I don't know what kind they are but they don't smell nice. So, I heard a boy tell his mother "It stinks here." She told him it didn't matter. The boy kept insisting that "It stinks here" and the mother kept saying that it didn't matter. So, finally the boy says "It doesn't matter."
I know I heard funnier stuff than that and I wish I could remember. The funniest things are heard on the buses, I think.

This comment came form a little boy on our flight to orlando last Oct. It was his very first airplane ride. It was a very cloudy day when we left Mpls. After take-off,we rose above the cloud deck and the sun was shining very bright. The little boy turned to his father and said very loudly...."Are we in heaven daddy?" The entire plane I think heard this and everyone had a smile on their face:) From the mouth of a child. You gotta love it!

The entire plane started laughing and then as we took off and lifted off the ground he started clapping and yelling "WHOOOOHOOOOOOO". He had a great 1st flight!

I'm still working my way through all of these but I thought I'd add my own (and bump it from Page 5!). It's not really something "overheard" but it STILL cracks me up.

We were at AK and it started to pour. We wanted to get out of the rain, so even though DH really doesn't like It's Tough to be a Bug, we figured it would keep us dry for a little while at least. So we came in and put our umbrellas on the floor. During the part where they blow the "bugspray" at you, DH started freaking out and stomping the floor furiously. I asked him what he was doing and he said there were fake "bugs" running along the floor! Um, they run them on the benches but not along the floor! He was apparently trying to kill his umbrella! :lmao:

I realize that (hence my rolling smiley face!). My point was that in Detroit, going to Canada was not unusual and everyone realized that Canadians were much like Americans, although they did in fact live in a different country. To the people in Green Bay, it's as bizarre to go to Canada as to France to most folks and I could see many of them asking the questions that other posters had brought up ("When do you celebrate Christmas?", "Can you ski in Windsor in July?", etc.). It was not meant as a "dis" on Canada at all!

We stayed at CSR for a business trip I was taking, and went to the pool-side bar by the slide. My colleague and I ordered Margaritas and as our bartender poured, I noticed his name tag said "Jesus". I laughed and pointed out the irony of a bartender named Jesus, and as soon as I calmed back down a kid walked by (age 10 or so) and said "Look dad, Jesus is a bartender!" I looked backed to see an obviously embarrassed dad, then turned to see a red-faced Jesus who was mid-pour of my tequila. Priceless! :rotfl2:

Not a comment exactly, but funny nevertheless. SIL and I had just bought some light up headbands from a street vendor. They were pink with light up bobble mickey heads and maribou around each of the "heads"- they looked kind of like antennae. So, we were walking along, headed towards the Seas when we saw a family coming towards us and the guy had this huge Nemo hat where it kind of looks like Nemo's eating your head. All of a sudden he stopped and pointed at our flashing mickey headbands and started laughing, then SIL started laughing at the absurdity of being laughed at by a man with Nemo on his head. Well, his family and our family were looking at us like a bunch of nuts, but finally we all stopped laughing, he gave us a big thumbs up and walked away. To make it even odder, I don't think he spoke English- he and his family were definitely speaking some other language. I guess awesomely bad hats are something everyone can understand.

the bartender was probably red-faced because its not pronounded Jesus, but "hey-Zeus".....

[LixardKing]

I guess I should have pointed that out (it was certainly part of the joke.) My colleague was a fan of "The Big Lebowski" In case you haven't seen it, there is a Spanish fellow who actually pronounces his name as the common English "Jesus". So when he said "actually it's pronounced HEY-sus" I said "Naw man, its The Jesus." I guess if you haven't seen the movie it wouldn't be funny though.

I was shocked that Disney would allow for the ambiguity at the bar.

LOL. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

That and we all forgot that Moscow was a country!!!:confused3 :confused3:confused: :confused:

I've heard some people mistake Norway for Sweden or Switzerland! How on earth!? I still cannot figure out the similarities between the three countries and I spent a great deal of the last five years in Switzerland so I certainly won't mistake it for Sweden!:rotfl:

This comment came form a little boy on our flight to orlando last Oct. It was his very first airplane ride. It was a very cloudy day when we left Mpls. After take-off,we rose above the cloud deck and the sun was shining very bright. The little boy turned to his father and said very loudly...."Are we in heaven daddy?" The entire plane I think heard this and everyone had a smile on their face:) From the mouth of a child. You gotta love it!

It looks that way sometimes. Plus, I always think about how just about 100 years ago people didn't get to see that view!

Here's another first flight story...
when my youngest dd was 7, we took her to WDW, and it was her first flight. When we boarded the plane we told her upon takeoff the seats on the plane would all slide to the back so she had to hold on tight to her seat.
When the plane lifted off, she yelled out so loud everyone could hear
"Hang on everyone!"
the whole plane was laughing, esp. the people around us that had heard what we had told her.
I think by the age of 8 she had learned to take with a grain of salt anything we told her:rotfl:

Of course not, the man should just change his name to something more "acceptable" for Disney if he wants to work there (totally joking here, please nobody hurt me ;) ).

Last week as we were waiting in line to get our Dole Whips the lady next to me was talking to someone on her cell phone. She told them to meet her for some of the best ice cream in the world. She was already in line and would get them all some. She was right beside Tom Sawyer's Treehouse. The person must have been realted to her because they found her with no problem. :upsidedow

It is the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House that is near the Dole Whips. It's Tom Sawyer Island.

:confused3 :confused: ???? Was this funny?

I'm guessing this is supposed to be funny along the lines of the following fictional story:

We were waiting in line to ride "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh". The guy in front of us gets a call on his cell phone and the conversation went like this: "Hey Bob, ya'll finally make it into the park?... great, we're in line waiting to ride the best ride in the park. Meet us where we exit the ride" and hangs up. Sure enough, the guy meets up with a group waiting for him at the end of the ride.
(Note that Winnie the Pooh was never mentioned in the conversation).

Maybe it's fictional and it's a joke to say how bad that ride is. I'm confused too. All I know I went on the pooh ride at DLR, and it was torture. And the cast member tried to put 3 adults in 1 row.

You do hear some funny things on vacation.

[bntlyclg89]

Apparently it has issues and moves around a lot cuz it's here in Missouri too! (Sorry completely off topic).

[HooKooDooKu]

I guess "fictional" probably explains a lot. :confused3

OK, Let's try one more time to clear up the confusion.

Person #1 wants Person #2 to meet them at a particular location. But rather than identifying the location my name, the identify it via a dubious description. The average person would have no clue where Person #1 is talking about because from our point of view, the description matches several places. But because Person #1 and Person #2 are related, there is something left un-said between the two that allows them to meet at the stated location.

I think that is the logic behind why this story is supposed to be funny. I'll leave it up to you to decide if it actually was.

[Amapola]

FWIW, I thought it was quite cute and yes, funny!

[mickeymousemom]

Easily understood. The lady on the cell phone never had to tell the person on the other end where the "best ice cream" was. She told them to meet her and they knew exactly where to go.:goodvibes

Ohio also has a Russia and Lima. As with my prior post, Ohio just can't get the pronunciations correct: Russia is pronounced Rooshee and Lima is pronounced like the bean not the Peruvian city. The latter even got a mention in a Pierce Brosnan movie--can't recall the name off the top of my head, but the star mispronounced the bean and favored the Peruvian moniker--guess we know Pierce has never made it to Lima, OH. :rotfl: There is also an Oxford (Miami University), Athens (University of Ohio), New Paris (one upped ya' there), Lebanon, and I'm sure I could go on, but you get the picture. . . ;)

We were at Epcot two weeks ago, happily shopping in England, when we overhead a lady talking to her daughter, "We aren't at Disney to play." The mom really wanted Pooh's autograph and the daughter really wanted to play with Thomas the train. I thought Disney was all about Play:confused3

Ever since, naturally, our whole family routinely refers to that park as "Jim Jim Jim."

We laughed at my stepmom all week because she calls any part of the park with kids in it Kiddieland. Doesn't matter if it's Fantasyland or Toontown or Shamu's Happy Harbor or Seuss landing. I'll call her to find out where she is in the park:

Me: Hey, where are ya?
Dsm: Well, we're over here in Kiddieland...
Me: (pause) well, do you see a carousel or a roller coaster or mickey's house?
Dsm: Well, I see a lot of kids..

Gee thanks that helps.

We were at Epcot in January, walking to find a seat for Illuminations, when a family with two small kids in strollers walked by us. We overheard the boy saying to the mom, "Mommy can we stay for the "light show " tonight? Please Mommy, please, please?" At that precise moment, a CM walked past them pushing a cart of light-up toys sold for the show. The tired looking mom and dad passed a glance between them and the mom stopped the cart and said to the children "Oh look, here is the light show! Isn't it wonderful? Wow, I am so glad we got to see it! OK now lets head back to the hotel!" Then they bolted . We were laughing so hard we had to sit down! I guess those little ones will figure out one day that they were cheated out of the real "light show", but I have to sympathize with the worn out parents!:rotfl2:

Don't you hate when parents do that? My mom took me and my brother to WDW when I was 12. I hadn't been since I was 3 and didn't remember anything about that trip. Well I wanted to ride Dumbo more than anything! It was the middle of August and HOT, and also very crowded. This was before the days of fastpass when you didn't get on any ride in under an hour. Well my mom must have took one look at the line for Dumbo and decided no way! She told me "oh, you're not allowed to go on Dumbo unless you have a little kid with you, just like the ride at Wonderland, so you're too big to go on alone". Well for YEARS I thought she was telling the truth!

Then I find the Disboards and I'm reading all these stories of adults going on Dumbo... well last year me and DBF went and I finally got my ride on Dumbo, gave good old mom a pice of my mind when I got home as well :rolleyes1

[dameodie]

I don't agree with parents who decieve their children unnecessarily either. Kids need to learn to accept the fact that they don't always get what they want!! It may be a band-aid to get you through the day, but kids arn't dumb. They remember, and put two and two together, even if it's years later like the above poster and the Dumbo ride! :rotfl:

Sometimes you need to tell white lies, or skim over the truth, or package the truth in kid-friendly portions. But don't out and out lie to them!

Okay, someone else can have a turn on the soapbox now ;)

I hope you just get over it. You may be a mom someday, and during a very hot and humid afternoon also decide that you will do almost anything to get out of the miserable weather with your own children. Just laugh about it, and someday when Mom is very old, this will be one of those stories you all sit around and laugh and talk about. Been there and done that, and now I wish my mom was here to talk about things from my childhood. :cloud9: :love:

[ThePhantomsGirl]

We were in the bag check line at Epcot this past Saturday, and the guy in front of us asked the security guard if this was the park with Shrek. The guard had to break the news that Shrek is at Universal :) .

Ha ha - I used to work (okay still do occasionally) at Shrek. I can't count how many times people would INSIST that Tower of Terror or Space Mountain were in Universal...

Another Universal story BUT Disney-related. A woman was complaining that it was raining and wondered why we couldn't put the dome over the park "like they do at Disney".

Okay, another Universal story - but it could've been at Disney... This didn't happen to me, but one of the team members I worked with:

A woman comes up and asks the TM what time it was going to stop raining. The TM says, "Ma'am, I don't know what time, but hopefully it won't be long." The woman keeps insisting that the TM should know what time it would stop or that he should ask management. She keeps insisting, so finally the TM gets on his radio and goes, "XXX Greeter to God...."

Hm.. maybe I should have put more smiley faces in my post LOL.. it was meant to be a joke more than anything else! I wasn't angry at my mom.. I might have been if I found out when I was 12, but now I just think it's hilarious that she had me believing it for all those years (even though we only went back to Disney once after that time). I DO think I was old enough though that she could have just said "you know what, I don't want to wait 1.5 hours for that".

[litlpixie]

Hi, I love this thread!! I have been holding out telling this, cause it was ME that said it, and it's embarrassing, but oh so funny after it happened:

We were in the store at the AKL, and of course, the 5 year old has to go around the store touching every toy in the place. If your not familiar with the store there, in front part are very expensive African art. She goes to touch a hand carved Giraffe, and I say "No, No Honey we don't touch that. That's an Adult Toy". As soon as I said I knew what I said, looked up quickly to the other adults around me laughing at what I said. I said "Ooooh, that came out wrong!" lolol I 'm laughing right now still at what a weirdo I must have sounded like.

I'm really goofing off today reading this thread - now I'm all the way up to page 60 (and it's still 2005...) It HAS made me feel better about something though...

I am about to make a confession...one I may never live down if my friends hear about it...

When I first moved here and heard about the Osbourne Family Lights, I couldn't understand why Disney of all places would name lights after Ozzie Osborne's Family....:confused3

[tjaggies]

I haven't finished reading this thread yet... sometimes I am laughing so hard I have to stop for a while.....

My family (DH, DD8 and DD5) were at BB with my DSis and my nephew, age 4. He was not having the best of days.. He was a little grumpy :mad: to say the least. He was not interested in having any fun or participating with the rest of us. :dance3: His mother was getting more and more frustrated by the moment. While we were standing in line to ride the ski lift up the mountain, she had finally had it with his attitude.... She said, I am sick and tired of all this complaining and your ugly attitude.... At age 4 he looked up at her and said, Well, I am sick and tired of listening to you!. We all just looked at each other and busted out laughing.:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

After having lunch, everyone's attitudes improved and the rest of the day was bunches of fun....:cool1:

[Me!Thatswho]

While I am sure someone on this thread posted something similar, I'll share one that made me laugh from our last trip to WDW this past May. On Small World, a youngster of about 9 or 10 was acting like a shutter bug with his digital camera, trying to get as many shots as possible. On several occasions during the ride he stood up to get a better angle. At one point his father told he to sit down because, being on the outside, he might fall in. The boy then gave classic line #1: "Don't worry Dad because the water is just make believe like everything else in Disney." To which the father, who was on the opposite side, responded to by dipping his hand into the water and flicking some at his son. Upon getting sprayed, the boy then responded with classic line #2 (the one that had the entire "crew" cracking up): "Wow! That actually felt like real water! How much did Disney spend to make fake water wet!" :rotfl:

Luckily for me, I just happened to be taping the ride for my DD (4yrs). We've watched this portion of the video so many times since our May trip that my DS (7yrs) nows the entire conversation by heart. :happytv:

I've heard families threaten their kids: "If you don't stop crying, I'm going to tell Mickey that we're going HOME!"

[lwestwise]

Years ago in the MK there was a family with a little one about 3yoa. He was whining and pulling on his mom who was trying to communicate with other adults in the group and his pulling and whining was interrupting her. After she had heard enough and been pulled on enough she in all of the frustration she could muster announced " I'll take him.... I'll squeeze him till his b@lls pop" We have laughed and used this saying for years and years. He, if still living must be about 30 yoa now.

[StephaBabe50]

We were in WDW in April. We were in MK and this older couple was walking behind us down Main Street USA. The women said to her husband "So this is Downtown Disney right?" and her husband answered by saying "Yup this is it!" :laughing:

A while ago before they had the Magical Express I went to WDW with my mom, my brother, and my nephew. Instread of renting a car we just took a taxi type thing. It wasnt really a taxi but it was just someone driving us to our hotel, I dont know what to call it lol. But anyway at the end of our trip it came to pick us up at CSR. The driver was a foreign man with long-ish hair and a beard. We were walking towards the car and my nephew yells: "LOOK AUNTIE! ITS THE WOLF MAN!!":rotfl:

At Epcot leaving the park after Illuminations, behind a family with kids and the kids literally take off running away. Mom says "You didn't ask permission." We wondered at what point it occurred to her how to find the kids in the crowd????

This is a GREAT thread....

Here's mine...we can never tell my 5 yr old daughter anything in advance.....she will drive us crazy asking questions about it, so we usually save our announcements for special events the day or so before...

Our first Disney Vacation....we decided at the last minute to drive to WDW.....we are in the car FOR 12 HOURS and we are now 15 minutes from Orlando and I finally ask her "Honey, do you know where we are going?.....We are going to Disney World!"....and she says "OOOHHHH, that's just like the Disney Store ONLY better"

She had no idea how much better it would be.

DS5 and I were in Epcot without Dad, so DS had to go with me to the ladies bathroom. He didn't have to go and didn't want to go in the stall with me. As we walked into the crowded bathroom he ran over to the feminine product machine against the wall. It had a big glass display so you could see what you were buying. He spread both arms up and out, pressed his nose to the glass, and said (very loud)... "Go ahead mom, I'll just wait here by the CANDY MACHINE." He couldn't understand why everyone started laughing. :rotfl:

This one cracks me up every time I think of it:

Last October we (myself, my mother, my sister and my 13 yo twin nephews) were at Rainforest Cafe in AK. While we were waiting the boys had wandered around the gift shop and one of them saw a stuffed toy of a monkey that he liked. Well we get seated shortly after and are looking at the menu. You know how noisy it is in there right?
Well my mom asked "What are you going to order?"
and my nephew, not having heard her, said "I want the stuffed Monkey."
my mom starts flipping through the menu and says, "Stuffed Monkey? I don't see any stuffed monkey on here..."!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[ellebeegee]

Not at WDW but at DL last month. We were in line at a snack bar and the woman in front of us asked, "If I get the large drink and large popcorn, do I get free refills all day?" :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: It's no coincidence that "mouse" and "money" start with the same letters.

and my nephew, not having heard her, said "I want the stuffed Monkey."
my mom starts flipping through the menu and says, "Stuffed Monkey? I don't see any stuffed monkey on here..."!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier in this thread. We were at MK during our trip last month and we entered the line for BTMR in front of these two guys who were handed one of those red cards that help calculate the wait time. One of the guys says "This must be one of those platinum fastpasses. cool." He then shrugs and slips the lanyard over his head. Me and my dad just couldn't keep from laughing. I wish I could have seen his reaction when he actually had to give it back. :rotfl:

My family (DH, DD8 and DD5) were at BB with my DSis and my nephew, age 4. He was not having the best of days.. He was a little grumpy :mad: to say the least. He was not interested in having any fun or participating with the rest of us. :dance3: His mother was getting more and more frustrated by the moment. While we were standing in line to ride the ski lift up the mountain, she had finally had it with his attitude.... She said, I am sick and tired of all this complaining and your ugly attitude.... At age 4 he looked up at her and said, Well, I am sick and tired of listening to you!
ROLF! That reminds me of my nephew...this didn't happen at WDW, but it cracked me up. My family is bunch of dramatic yellers and smackers, and when my nephew was three, my sister-in-law was chasing him around with a wooden spoon to swat him. She was yelling and swiping at him, and he crawled under the coffee table, where she got him trapped. The kid was 3...he looked her in the eyes and said, "You may have won the battle, but I will win the war!"

That's hilarious!

Ok this one made me & my friend & several others laugh.

Ok we just get done at Fantasmic & as we are headed out of the stadium, there are like 20-30 people wearing brightly colored Disney shirts & screaming loudly. We get away & head towards RNRC, when we get there we encounter these people who now are screaming things about Finance & what not. I look over as i'm about to enter the doors to G Force & yell out to them, "You tell 'em Steve Dave" in my best Fanboy from Mallrats voice. Clearly had several people & one of the CM's laughing at that one. One of them looks over & the rest immediately get quiet noticeably embarrassed. Shame, we never saw the Finance people again.

That is great! We are HUGE Kevin Smith fans and we use that line all the time!

I was walking past the Carousel and heard a cast member announce: "Please don't beat your horses with the seatbelt straps; it will not make them go any faster."

Completely cracked me up!

Another thing - not in WDW - but very definitely related: As I was coming through customs at the airport on this trip, the customs agent asked me where I was going. I explained that I was going to WDW, on my own, for vacation. She looked very disbelieving and said "Why would you go to Disney World by yourself. Adults don't go to Disney World alone, it's for kids." I was seriously quite worried that she was going to stop me from getting on the plane because she did NOT believe that an adult woman would go there alone.

I should have just directed her to the disboards, I guess.

I was walking down Main Street last November, and this was the conversation of two 20something girls in front of me:

Girl 1: The castle seems alot bigger than I remember it.

Girl 2: Yeah, it used to be smaller when they first opened, but they got alot of complaints, so they tore it down a little while ago and rebuilt it to be bigger.

Girl 1: Really?

Girl 2: Yeah, people come to Disneyworld expecting to see the big castle, and when it was small, people were really upset and Disney lost alot of money.

Girl 1: Oh, that makes sense. I knew it looked different!

They were DEAD SERIOUS. My sister and I laugh at alot of people's mistaken comments in WDW and DL, but that one was so ridiculous it just left us stunned!

At MGM last week, about 1/2 hour before closing, a dad pushing a stroller walked by us and we heard the little one inside whining..."but..Daaad...where are we goooooing?"

and tired, worn out Dad wearily replied, "Crazy...and getting there fast."

:lmao:

Then, on the bus back from Epcot to the resort on our last night, there was a screaming (and I mean, this kid had lungs!!) toddler on the bus. A man with a thick Irish accent was heard to say (when the bus suddenly went quiet).."ah, another happy child at Disney!"

:rotfl2:

:lmao: :lmao: I only hope that I someday am that witty! :rotfl:

(buummp!)

Most of my examples are more cute-funny than ROFL funny...

1) Waiting in line for the ride in Norway, a father hands his 4-5ish year old daughter a slushy-type drink, and she exclaims, "MMMM, Sludge!"

2) ToT, DH and I (well, I) are/am seated next to a single-rider British girl who is in her mid-twenties, and clearly is new to ToT. (She is next to the wall, I am between DH and her.) She is clutching my arm the whole time, and I think it's silly--except I forgot myself how intense the drop is!! In the photo, you can see her and I clinging onto each other for dear life, and screaming into each other's faces!! (As well, you can see my merchandise flying around--oops!) Priceless, what perfect timing. I should have purchased that photo.

3) MNSSHP06, DH is Captain Jack Sparrow (and a dead-ringer for him, if I say so!) All evening, kids were excited to see him and would yell, "CAPTAIN JACK! CAPTAIN JACK!"

On the bus back to Pop, however, this adorable and very tired 3ish year old girl was simply terrified of him. She was sitting with her grandmother right in front of where he was standing, and could only stare in terror. He had been holding a stuffed Boo To You Mickey Mouse, and he tried to amuse her with it--at which point she squealed, "MUCKEY MOUSE!" Most adorable thing ever! (Her grandmother explained that since she cannot say Mickey, she says Mucky) :cutie:

4) Heading back to Pop after a night at the parks, on the bus next to me is this British family, with their little boy of about 4 sitting next to me. Within minutes, the little boy had completely slumped onto me and fallen asleep! The father repeatedly and quietly apologized, and offered to wake him up, but I said it was fine. Poor kid--so tuckered out!!

5) Hope no one is offended here, lol--this may have also been a "You had to be there" thing. On the bus back to Pop (noticing a trend? haha.) DH and I had struck up conversations with different people, all of whom happened to be local to us. We're from PA, and there can be a bit of animosity between PA/NJ people. I don't remember why or exactly what I said, but I said something to the effect of "No, I would NOT go into New Jersey for ANYTHING, unless I absolutely HAD to. I can't STAND NJ." in a clearly disgusted voice... just as DH's conversation partner said to him, "Allentown, huh? I'm from Phillipsburg(NJ)!" :guilty: oops! (And sorry to any NJ'ites!)

6) Finally... and my absolute favorite... January 2005 (DH's first WDW trip!). Late in the evening, DH and I were taking a bus from CBR to DTD. There were very few people on the bus, but the bus driver was the most entertaining guy EVER. For the ENTIRE RIDE, without stopping, he kept going on... in a hilarious announcer-type voice, talking about his DTD travels, in the manner of,
"I don't do doors!!... I don't do windows!!!!... I only do DOOOOOWN TOOOOOWN DISNEY!"
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl: :lmao:
Oh it was the most fantastic thing EVER. DH and I say that ALL the time now--especially when actually en route to DOOOOWN TOOOOWN DISNEY (hehehe). I wish I had his name.... does this guy sound familiar to anybody???

I wish I could remember more!! Eek! Next time, next time...

In the bathrooms at the Beach Club, around the corner from Cape May:

A mother had brought her son, maybe 4-ish, into the bathroom with her and let him go into the stall alone to do his business. Shortly after he began to tinkle, the automatic flusher went off and suddenly, we hear him cry out in a very distressed voice, "HEYYYY! I wasn't finished yetttttt!"


We still get mileage out of that one. :rotfl2:

[Scoobmuzic]

On the way into the MK on Sunday my DH and I were walking past this tour group apparently planning where to meet later and as we walk by one of them says "ok, so we all meet at 4:00 at the Matterhorn" :confused3

[Davscotcar]

We went to ice cool in Epcot last week and were trying the drinks. As we left, this other couple were stopped by a woman who asked what it was. The woman replied "It's free soda from all over the world. Do you know what try the Beverly one as that is fabulous!" I couldn't help but burst out laughing and so did her dh, to which the woman hurriedly said "No no I am joking!" But it made me chuckle. Wished I had hung about to see what the woman did.

We had just passed through the gates at Animal Kingdom yesterday when the family in front of us stopped to look at their map. Their ds who looked to be about 10 lets out a sigh and says, "oh man, are we lost already, we are always lost, I can't believe we are lost already!" Everyone around started laughing as his mother explained to him that they knew where they currently were but were looking for where they wanted to go. Poor kid!

[emer95]

I absolutely love reading these! I have been laughing out loud at so many of them! Here are mine:

1) Two years ago my little girl turned 5 while we were in WDW. The night before her b-day we were watching the parade at MK. She was tired and had her head in my lap. I was stroking her hair and telling her how this was the last time I'd ever have a 4 year old, and how special and beautiful and smart she was. I stopped talking for a second and she lifted her head and said, "Keep going."

2) We came out of a bathroom at Animal Kingdom, and she told her Daddy with GREAT enthusiasm, "Daddy! I am so glad we came to Disney World! They have a hand dryer in there that almost blew my skin right off!"

3) When we were on Dinosaur at AK, and the big T-rex had the smaller dinosaur in his mouth, my daughter turned to me with terror in her eyes and asked hopefully, "That's just how the Mommy dinosaur carries her baby, right?" We didn't have the heart to tell her the truth!
