Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[step4now]

We were in Animal Kingdom one day and as we were entering Harambe village, we heard a mom say to her young son, "Okay - we're in Africa now so ACT RIGHT!".

I've wondered ever since, just what is the right way to act in Africa? What if I've been acting wrong all this time and didn't know it? :)

I've read 90% of these messages...mostly in one sitting...and this one literally made me LOL. I love it... too funny. Great thread. Oh well, we're off to Disney tomorrow, if we hear any new ones, I'll post them!

[step4now]

2) My daughter, 4 at the time, was bugging me and bugging me to take her on the haunted mansion. She is a pretty catious kid, though, and prone to nightmares, so I kept telling her I thought it wasn't a very good idea. It's on one of her movies though, and she was adamant, "No, I'll be fine, I promise, I just want to see it, I won't be scared!" etc. I finally decided to take her - it had been several years since I'd been on, and I didn't remember it being bad. Well, after we get in and she lives through the stretching room and we get in the doombuggies, we've made it through a few scenes, but we get to the graveyard, and she takes one look and says, so reproachfully (like I'm so disappointed in you, mom), "I really don't think this is good for me. Do you really think this was a wise choice?" She rode the rest of the ride with her head in my lap and her hands over her ears.


I love this one! Sounds exactly like my 7 year old... she was --and is still--always saying things like this. "Do you really think this was a wise choice?" Tooo funnny, great post.

Last Saturday a friend and I were at Epcot. On the way into The Land we were following these two elderly ladies and I couldn't help overhearing their conversation. One says to the other, "Let's eat at that grill place." And the other lady comes back with "How are we gonna pay for that?" To which the first one replies "Hell, we'll put it on the credit card! We'll be dead long before that's ever paid off!" And they both snickered at each other! My friend and I both stopped dead in our tracks and looked at each other and busted up. I mean they both looked to be in their nineties.

[Tink n Poohbear]

I was in WDW with my parents and brother several years ago. We had just left dinner and were walking thru a little shop. My brother, who was probably about 4 at the time, says (quite loudly), "something stinks in here 'cuz my daddy just farted!"

My mom and I walked away as quickly as we could and pretended we weren't with them. :blush:

[whacked]

:rotfl2: Bump...

[tinkerbell of winter]

Well this one is straight from my daughter's mouth!
We were in the bathroom and while she is waiting for me to finish washing my hands I notice her looking at the feminine product machine in the bathroom. I go over by her and she says, loudly "Fifty Cents for a napkin! You can get them for free at McDonalds!" Of course I start cracking up as does the women standing nearby and my daughter is just confused as to why we are laughing so hard. After that she had to comment every time we went into a bathroom, "There are those expensive napkins again, I don't know why people just don't go to McDonalds and get them for free!" Well I just had to share that!

[JealousTinkerbell]

it struck me as funny.....

We were waiting at a resort (can't remember which one) to catch a bus to TL and there is this kid about 7 years old and he is reading all of the destinations for the buses as they pass so when our bus comes he shouts at the top of his lungs "LOOK MOM!!! LOOK!!! ITS THE BUS TO TOONLAND!!!!! YAY!! WE"RE GOING TO TOONLAND!!!" mom didn't have the heart to tell him it was TL.. afterall he was so excited to be going to toonland..is there even a toonland in WDW??? :goodvibes kids...so cute...so...unpredictable.

[Kala]

These are great!


Bump!!!

[MELSMICE]

is there even a toonland in WDW???

There is Mickey's Toontown Fair in the Magic Kingdom! :flower: However, no toonland. :sad2:

[GOOFYFREEK]

Ok I have to get a little set up to the hole thing so might be a little long but bare with me I thought it was funny.

Heading out of MK around 8pm. DM stops at the bathroom next to City Hall. While standing there waiting I hear this conversation. Father and son say to wife and daughter we want to ride Space Mountain before the park closes (9pm). Wife and daughter want to watch the parade. So she tells them to go ride and they will meet back there after the park closes. Bare with me this is the funny part. She tells them to ride the train it would be the fastest to get to Space Mountain. Yes SPACE Mountain not Thunder Mountain.

I hope you find it funny as I did. It was the conversation for the rest of the night. So fellas DONT LISTEN TO YOUR WIFE, especially if they dont ride rollercoasters :D

[rayelias]

I'm of Chinese descent but can't speak/read a word of Chinese and somebody gave me a T-shirt with Chinese writing... when my dad saw it he said, "Do you know that your T-shirt says 'do not pee here'?"

I threw away the T-shirt... especially after wearing that shirt for the entire day in Chinatown.


I just found this thread, and most of the posts made me chuckle. Unfortunately for me, I was taking a sip of hot coffee when I read FatCow's post. I did a real-live spit-take! THAT is HILARIOUS!

I've seen pictures from many Asian Countries (mainly Japan) of T-Shirts with English writing on them. They're apparently pretty popular, just because they're "American" products, not because of what they say. Well, many of them, unbeknownst to the wearer, have VERY vulgar sayings on them. VERY funny! Reminds me of a website called www.engrish.com (http://www.engrish.com). Visit the "clothing" section.

This post also reminded me of someone I used to work with. She was from Viet Nam and was fluent in Chinese (along with several other Asian languages). Well, you know a few years back when the "hip" thing was to get Chinese charater tattoos? You know the ones that are supposed to mean "Life" or "Love" or "Strength"? As a joke, (especially with new-hires), when she would see one of them on someone, she would tell them it meant something completely different, like "General Tso's Chicken" or something. The people with the tattoos would be in shock, until she let them in that she was just kidding. Oddly, she said that most of the tattoos that were supposed to mean something, technically, were just "babble" and didn't really mean anything.

That is so cute. Reminds me of when DS was younger, about 9. Not Disney at all but still funny. One of “those” commercials came on and DS turned to me and asked me, “Those things don’t really work do they momma?” I said what things. He said, those things you put on your feet. I just told him honestly that no, honey, they don’t do a thing for your feet.

[step4now]

We just returned from Disney and I heard a bunch of new ones. Of course I heard the classic, "Shut up and have FUN already" and all the variations. BUT -- I heard a new variation on this classic in Epcot. We had just gotten off SpaceShip Earth and were heading toward Innoventions when we heard 2 kids crying and the Mom getting all flustered. She was getting really angry, but she calmly explained, "Yessss... we'll do the fun stuff today, but we have to get the educational stuff out of the way FIRST!"

Gotta love it...!

[mattr555]

Heard this at Epcot outside 9 Dragons:

Very old American man with his family are looking at the menu. Family look hungry and want to get inside, old guy not so sure. Old guy gets a major attitude turns to his family and says loudly,"This is the god damn united states of america, you'd think they would have something i could actually eat". Then resigned to his fate of a Chinese meal says,"I guess I could just have the soup"; hangs his head and follows his family inside.

I guess thats what 70 years of meat and potatoes does to a person.

[Eeyore'sthebest]

I heard this at the AKL and actually thought of this thread! I'm glad to see its still here so I could post it.

Outside of the kiddie pool at the AKL, a grandmother turns to her grandson, about 7 yo,

"DON'T TOUCH THOSE PLANTS! THEY COULD BE POISONOUS!"
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Okay, does anyone in their right mind actually believe that WDW would place poisonous plants as part of their landscaping, especially the plants surrounding the baby pool?! I guess there isn't an IQ test to book a room. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[GOOFYFREEK]

Got one from this past weekend. Staying at All Star Sports standing in line for the bus. One DW says to DH why are we standing in line for a bus why dont we just take the monorail.

[Weegie]

While waiting in monorail line to MK we were behind a family of 5. Dad turned to his 3 preteen kids and said, "we drove 1500 miles to get here and you will have fun. Is that understood?" I couldn't help but laugh.

[savs]

Here are a few of my faovites from this past vacation.

We were riding the monorail and a group of people get on and there was this one lady that seemed to know it all.....she points to the "Polynsian Resort" and says,there is "Coronado Springs" we stayed there a few years ago. It was so nice being right on the monorail :confused3 I about died, I so wanted to say something :rotfl: Then she goes on to tell them that she can't remember the name of the resort we were going thru (Contempory)but she wouldn't stay there because it is more for people with little kids...huh???


This one was from my ds5. 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:

[marciemi]

Glad someone else pulled this up because I wanted to add this one. Another not from Disney but about it.

We're at my son's soccer game on Sunday and Clueless Dad sitting next to me (hereafter referred to as CD) asks why we weren't there Saturday. I told him we went to Cedar Point (a big amusement park a couple hours away). We then proceeded to discuss the new ride there, big coasters there and some other parks near us, etc. Then the conversation goes like this:

CD: Well, have you been to that one out in California?

Me: Magic Mountain? (Thinking along the lines of Cedar Point).

CD: No, the other one.

Me: Knott's Berry Farm? Legoland?

CD: No, it's something with Disney in it.

Me: Oh, Disneyland! (Okay, I'm sorry, but it never occurred to me that someone wouldn't be able to come up with that name!)

CD: Yeah, that's it - have you been there?

Me: Yes, we were there a couple years ago.

CD: I was there in the 80's. No, wait, it was in the mid 70's. It was pretty cool - has it changed since then?

Me: UMM...(Not wanting to hurt his feelings I said something about how Disney is always Disney and although there were probably different rides - even a whole new park - than he remembered, the overall feel would be similar! Guess he hasn't even heard about this new thing (WDW) out in Florida!

[Disneyholic]

I have two, both from the same night at Victoria & Alberts-- my husband and I went last September for our 10th Anniversary.

We were seated under the dome-- that weird area where due to some acoustic abnormality you can hear even quiet conversations at a table across the dome clear as day-- as if the people were at the table too. And I'm sure they could hear us. If the harp is playing it isn't bad but when the harpist is taking a break you can hear everything.

Two choice exchanges-- from one table, across the way, with a young attractive couple

1) Man to woman: "Will you relax? You can have your joint after dinner!"

2) And after the bills had been delivered to all the tables, a man and a woman, the man in a northern English accent: "What do you mean expense it? We can't ****ing expense it darling! We had all this ****ing caviar and this ****ing champage! It's seven or eight hundred dollars! We can't ****ing expense it!"

We were there for our 30th Anniversary a few years ago. Heard every word from the table across the room. Man was talkinf to Date/Wife? about "Cousin Brucie" We knew all about "Cousin Brucie's investments, vacations, homes and probably more things about "Cousin Brucie" than we or even the lady probably ever wanted or needed to know. :rotfl2:

Wonder if they heard our comments about the room acoustics. If they did, it sure didn't stop him from talking.

Actually, I got more of a kick out of thinking that OP wants us all to get naked with them while we read this !!! :earseek: :earseek: :earseek: :earseek: :earseek:

[spectrums]

Another non-Disney but funny...

A little background: My daughter is 11 and has high-functioning autism - everything is black and white with her - no gray areas - so it was hysterical to get this response out of her one day!

My daughter had been in the shower and she must have used 20 towels - they were on the floor, edge of the tub, on the counter - you get the idea. Anyway, I wasn't happy to see it since I had just finished washing and now I had even more laundry to do. So as she was getting dressed, I said to her,

"I am getting really sick of telling you not to use so many towels in the shower!"

Her response to me was....

"GOOD! Cause I'm getting sick of you telling me about them!!" :rotfl2:

Needless to say, I almost died laughing and I don't think the towels have ever come up again! LOL

Disney-related:

I told my mother I wanted to make sure we got to Mexico next week when we visit Epcot to try the margaritas - her response had us all cracking up - she honestly said:

"Am I gonna need ID to get in there?"

My father, smirk on his face, looked at her and responded, "Yes and be careful - DON'T DRINK THE WATER." :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[lllovell]

I may have posted this one in the past....but the best one uttered so far in my family was recently.

My 3 year old was on hubby's shoulders as we strolled around the lake at Coronado Springs. It was dark out already and we were enjoying the sights when he looked up and saw the spot lights from Downtown Disney. "Look!" he shouted. "Its House of Mouse. Let's go see Mickey!!!"

(if you have ever seen this cartoon show, the House of Mouse has spotlights out front :teeth: )

[WDW_DV]

A few years back we were in DLR and saw a dad with a child (boy) of about one year old. The dad was holding the kid up to see Goofy, but the little one wasn't too interested. Boy's mom says something to the effect of don't force the issue to which the dad replied "I didn't fly half way around the country to have him NOT look at the characters!!!" :confused3:

[disneymom3]

We were on the Safari ride for the first time and DD was 6.5. She saw the place where the ostrich eggs are and was really excited about them. They were sooo big and weren't in much of a nest, etc. That was in Dec. We went back in May and oddly, ;) the ostrich eggs were still there. Now, DD is quite smart but pretty gullible and the magic definitely works for her. I always think the Safari is the most amazing place at WDW because some thigns are totally real, but then there is all of this that is not real, but seems real, so I get where she was coming from. So, there is it 5 months after she has seen the ostrich eggs and she is amazed that they are still there and is saying she needs to look up how long it takes ostrich eggs to hatch, but perhaps they are new eggs and the ostrich just likes laying them in that spot.

Fast forward to March a year later. Yeah, the eggs are STILL there. DD who is now 7.5 turns to me and says,"I am getting mighty suspicious about those ostrich eggs." :rotfl:

[Doc and Family]

DW will shoot me, but here goes.
Educated woman who LOVES WDW.
First trip to AK.
First safari.
She says so seriously and obviously disappointed:
"You would think Disney could make the animals look a little more real, wouldn't you?"

I still ride her about that one.

[lsutigger2]

Dh and I did the Segway tour (by the way, it was great fun!!). As we were headed to World Showcase we passed some other guests and a mom turned to her child (didn't see the child so I don't know how old they were - had to concentrate on where I was going :rotfl2: ). She said to the child, "Those are not real people, those are robots!" I know she was just kidding, but it was cute!

[bugsy]

This one was unbelievable....
Dh :smooth: and I were renting watermice at the Poly, the CM was
appeared to be a south islander, which is very important to the story.
This east-coaster wassa - matta - you new yorker type. comes up to
the CM and says, "Hay ! So's I can put the charges on the room at my
own joint, right?" but here is my favorite part... THEN he says, "SO
BUDDY, WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU FROM - HAWAII ??" :rotfl2: clearly
American government was NOT one of his stronger subjects. And by
the way he looked to be the age of maybe, Oh yeah! Probably born at
about the same time at the "country" of Hawaii became a state !!! :teacher:

[CourtasanSatine]

Keep the laughs coming:)

[philaround]

I didn't think it was possible for someone to come up with a new name for teh Spaceship Earth geosphere but it happened a few days ago. We were on a bus from POFQ to I can't remember where. The route we were taking gave you glimpses of some attractions from a distance. At one point Spaceship Earth was peeking over the top of a line of trees off in the distance. A boy, probably about ten, turns to his dad and says "Look dad, the bubble thingie."

[kycat]

My daughter and I were sitting on the Omnibus at the entrance of Main street in MK, waiting for it to leave…when a snooty couple got onboard and asked the driver to “please drop us off first…at the entrance to Big Thunder Railroad…because we are supposed to meet someone there and we’re late.” :wave2:

[aubriee]

This past week (May 13th) I nearly died when the DME driver made a point of telling everyone to be sure to get a refillable mug at your resort. He said that it was a great deal and that 'for only about twelve bucks, you can get it refilled at any resort or park, including the water parks during your stay'. The young couple in front of me said that sounded like a good deal and they were definitely going to get two and then just put them in their backpack to use in the parks. The driver said 'yeah, it's a great deal'. He sounded very confident of his information and no one corrected him. I'm afraid I didn't say anything either, but thought I would love to see the look on some of these people's faces when they try to get their resort mugs refilled in the parks.

[LtlTee]

We were at the Studios last week entering Indiana Jones. There was a man and his son standing just outside the turnstiles. As we passed by, we heard the boy, who was about 8 or 9, say to his dad, "You can't trick me again. I'm not going in -- I just know this is a ride." :teeth:

[Sthronds]

Here are a couple of funnies from just a few days ago. I was walking through Tomorrowland with my mom when a little boy (around 8 or 9) ran in front of us to a cast member. We couldn't hear the discussion but he shouted back "Dad, no beer here!"

Not to embarrass my own dad but we had a huge discussion about whether or not my parents had been on Buzz Lightyear before. I swear they did, they swear they didn't. After going on the ride, which they loved, my dad says firmly. "I have never been on Bud Light before." For the rest of the trip he kept calling it Bud Light and then when we were at AK, he asked if we were going to see the Bud Light Show (Bug's Life). I giggled every time. Oddly enough, he is not a beer drinker!

My 3 year old DS thinks Buzz Lightyear's name is Buzzlight Year, and last time we were at MK, we were in a store and he asked me if he could have a "Buzzlight" and I told him maybe later. I got a very strange look from a woman next to us, now I think she must have thought he was asking for a Bud Light!!!

[BethC1952]

OK, I've read almost every post in this thread, and I even posted myself a while ago, but on Sunday afternoon (May 22, 2005) I heard one I haven't heard before.

We were at the TTC, waiting for the ferry to the Magic Kingdom. A lady standing next to us asked her son if he wanted to take the ferry to Epcot, or the subway. So her son asks "What subway?". She explained that both monorail tracks really go to Epcot, but one goes underground most of the way, so that people won't have to look at the ugly monorail tracks. I really wanted to hear her explanation of how to take the ferry to Epcot!

Next day, we were at Epcot (we took a bus, not the ferry or the subway :rotfl: ) and heard another woman arguing with a CM. She wanted to know where "It's A Small World" was. The CM directed her to Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom. The woman said "No, I was on it last year, and it was here in Epcot, somewhere in World Showcase". So the CM asked her if maybe she was thinking of Mexico (there are some singing dolls in there). The woman insisted that last year, Small World was in Epcot, and the year before that, too. Then, remembering that it had been closed when she was there recently, she told the CM that of course it had been in World Showcase, and that they moved it while it was closed.

And then there was the little girl at The Animal Kingdom who asked her mother why there weren't any live dinosaurs on display, and then answered her own question. "I know, mommy! They all died when you were a little girl."

Beth

[ophie]

Heard recently while exiting Safari... "Why are the animals so lethargic? Do you think they've been sedated?" Evidently this lady is used to seeing the crocodiles snag wildebeasts on the National Geographic channel.

My new favorite person I've met at WDW is a pre-K student named Brianna. While sitting next to each other at the bar at Prime Time, Brianna instructs me to help her color the picture of Goofy on her kids menu. I was supposed to use red and she was using blue. I asked her what color she would get if she combined red and blue. She thought for a moment and then confidently replied, "Beige!"

Oh my gosh, I died when I read that. Never let it be said that kids are good for the ego. I think my children are the best ever, but I could hear one of them saying this with no problem. :rotfl2:

[milmore104]

While on the Kilo Saf. thhe family in front of us (mother,father,2 kids, &grandma) were looking and pointing to everything. The little girl turns to her grandmother and says "Grandma is there somewhere we can go and pet the animals?" Without skipping a beat the grandmother says "Oh,No honey these animals aren't REAL!!! Isn't it amazing how they can get them to be so life like!" My DH and I couldn't contain ourselves. Her son said to her "Mom they are real animals" The mother just looks at her son and says "No their NOT I saw a special on the travel channel about how they made them. And if they were real the lions would eat the zebras and how would that look on a Disney ride!" I guess you can't argue w/ that logic. My DH and I still say it everytime we see the ride "It's amazing how they look so real!!!!"

[GingerbreadCoffin]

LOL!

My 3 year old DS thinks Buzz Lightyear's name is Buzzlight Year, and last time we were at MK, we were in a store and he asked me if he could have a "Buzzlight" and I told him maybe later. I got a very strange look from a woman next to us, now I think she must have thought he was asking for a Bud Light!!!


My 3 year old DS dose the same exact thing!He also went through a faze where he called Pinnochio 'Ohokie'.It took us months to figure out who 'Ohokie' was.
Last December when we were at the Magic Kingdom I overheard a mother telling her children that they only sold the Mickey Mouse ice creams during parade times.I have no idea if she was serious or not but I think I may have to use this one.My 3 year old just isn't getting the cocept of "Later".

[Vivianne]

I was looking at the display in the Stave Church at the Norway Pavilion waiting for my DH. A man strolls in looks around and as he walks out I heard him telling someone. "Oh it's just a display of Mexico stuff".????? :confused3

[Alice42]

While over by test track, I overheard some lady say "lets go on the crash test dummies ride" The Test Track sign was literally right in front of this lady.

While in line for the monorail, some guy said that he rode the "space to Mars" ride, referring to Mission:Space.

My DH and I were laughing so hard! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[jenbren]

The funniest thing I ever heard there was said by my almost 9yr old daughter. We were at River Country in line for a slide and there was a guy in the line ahead of us that was very tattooed and pierced including rings in both nipples. I could see my daughter looking at him quizzically and then she leaned over to me and whispered "I didn't know you could pierce those!" I whispered back "looks painful doesn't it" and she just nodded with huge eyes. It was so funny I thought I would die trying not to laugh! :rotfl2: You can tell we live in a small town!

[cyndibelle]

so the first time we were there,...and we were at chef mickeys eating..my daughter who was 6 at the time yells ...LOOK ITS CHIP AND DIP!!!! ..instead of chip and dale...it was so funny....the rest of the trip ..they were called chip and dip..by all of us.. :rotfl:

[dakyak]

When we were there Tuesday, May 17th, we saw this little girl walking out of frontierland all tired. She was cute, she had her face painted. right as we go to walk by, she turns to her mom and says "I don't want to be pretty anymore." the whole crowd around us must have heard her, because we all chuckled. Definitely a cute one.

[WDW_DV]

Ate at Boma the other night...it was the first time there for my sister and her husband. While eating dessert, sis tried her first Zebra Dome. She bit into it, her eyes half closed, and she looked at her husband and said, "You've just been replaced." :rotfl2:

[Densgirl]

When my DH was my DFi, we took our first trip to the world together. We were in Epcot sitting in the Canadian pavillion waiting for Illuminations when we overheard the following

DW(screaming and nasty)-"Did you get directions from that girl over there to the fireworks(mind you they are sitting on a bench in front of the lagoon)
DH(also yelling and nasty)-"Uh-I tried Hon, but I couldn't understand the lady. She was speaking Nova Scoatian" :rotfl:

DH and I had just had a lovely conversation with the CM in question and had not one bit of trouble understanding her. Then they launched into a deep geographical discussion about whether or not Nova Scotia is in America or is it just one of our "outposts"!?!?! :confused3 DH and I were trying so hard not to laugh but it was pretty funny.

[lfontaine]

Overheard in the Men's room at MGM, relayed to me by DH:

Dad and son are in a stall and son says "Daddy, tell me a story." Dad starts telling a story and son says "No, Daddy. That's the short story. I need the LONG story."

The funniest (and most embarrassing) thing I have heard came out of my granddaughter's mouth when she was about five.

We had flown to the USA on Virgin airlines who always gave the children a backpack full of goodies i.e. puzzle books, pens, sunglasses. My granddaughter was very taken with her red and white sunglasses. As we approached the boarding area for the tram to go to TTC she said in a loud voice:-

"Nanny I am going to put my sunglasses on so everyone will know I'm a Virgin!".

This coming from a tiny blonde five year old who looked a total angel!

Please just imagine about a hundred pairs of horrified eyes looking in my direction (as Virgin Atlantic wasn't a very well know airline in the US at the time) and me spouting incoherent rubbish about "sunglasses with Virgin written on them, ha ha ....ummmm, it's an airline.....ummm.... oh dear!"

[sanapunk]

I overheard a family constantly telling their daughter while waiting in line for Stitch "it's only a 3d movie, it's not scary!"

boy were they surprised when they walked into the room and saw the chairs with the harnesses. they didn't stay for very long after that.

[Disney Fool]

This happened last week: while I was babysitting a six year old who his parents thought was too afraid to experience "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience", the little boy (who is extremely intelligent and gifted) stopped playing by the dancing fountains, and ran up to me and very seriously asked me, "How long will it take my mommy to go back up to normal size? and will it hurt?" I was so flustered that he was indeed deadly serious, I had all I could do to keep from laughing!!! I just said, "No, honey, it won't hurt. She'll be out soon." :goodvibes

[crzy4dals]

This past week while on the bus going to Epcot
(Mom, Dad, Daughter 3-4 years old and Grandmother)
The young girl was in Grandma's lap fidgetting around....
The Dad turns to his wife and says " If we call Super Nanny now...
How long do you think it would take her to get her.... I do not care
the costs......"

[ImarriedGrumpy]

We just got back and I heard so many funny comments! Most were from kids - I think teaching preschool for years has tuned me in to their voices...

The favorite was during Wishes at MK. We were standing just outside Tommorowland Terrace Noodle Station and had just seen Tinkerbell fly down from the castle. When the fireworks took off in earnest, I heard a 2 or 3 year old girl on her daddy's shoulders behind me suddenly gasp and call out "Tink, Tink, you otay? You otay, Tink?" I could also hear her family's smothered chuckles as her parents assured her that Tinkerbell was just fine. For the rest of our trip, whenever someone seemed to hurt themselves we would ask each other "Tink, Tink, you otay?"

Our second favorite was on our last day when we went to Downtown Disney to pick up a few last minute gifts. I was in the Pooh store and saw a very frazzled mom with a preschool boy (maybe 3 or 4 years old) on his way to a full blown temper tantrum. Mom was doing her best to keep her cool while the boy kept insisting that he wanted the giant stuffed Pooh Bear in the store. After she once again said it was too big and too expensive, the little boy cried out "but mommy, he wants to come home with me!" I cracked up, but I'm afraid the poor mom was far to fried to be able to laugh at it in the moment.

[Disney Gator]

OK I've got a couple. First I'd like to give a shout out to ophie and her "are the animals sedated?" post which is actually something I overheard and told her about. :wave2: Although to be fair she was there at the time.

This first one is from a few years ago. I was at the little store next to the American Adventure just browsing. A little kid was looking at the flags they had for sale. They had a selection of older American flags, including the one with the 13 stars in a circle. The kid asks his mom if he can have it, and the mom says, "no honey we don't want that one, that's the Confederate flag"

Another one happened while I was in the restroom at The Land. I was in a stall and I hear a little boy a few stalls away, "Daddy?" The Dad who is waiting near the sinks, "Yeah buddy?" Little boy, "Just making sure you are still here" This exact conversation repeats 3 more times until I leave. It was just so funny. I guess he was worried his dad would take off and leave him there alone.

[AnaheimGirl]

My dd, 4yo, waiting in line for TestTrack, eyes getting increasingly wider as she listens to the descriptions of all the tests they will put the car through, finally turns to dh and says "Daddy, you have to drive, because you're the strongest." LOLOL

Then, not really funny, but the most charming thing I've heard was a little girl with a British accent, "Mummy, dreams really do come true and this is mine." Aww.

Pirates Of The Carribean attraction....

I heard someone say this back in 1989 and everytime I go on the ride I think about it.

You come up to the pirate ship and the captain is giving out his orders. One of the things he says is..."Fire at will"

And of course some guy in the back of the boat shouts...."Which ones Will?"

Guess you had to be there. I always say "which one is Will?" under my breath everytime we go by the ship now.

This guy was actually smarter than you thought....who would have known that he would have the future vision. The captain must be talking about Will Turner of POTC.....I don't see why your making fun of the guy. :teeth:

[DisneyDotty]

About 15 years ago, went to WDW with my DH who has always been terrified of boats/water. Convinced him to take the ferry from MK back to Ft. Wilderness by telling him, "Honey, all Disney boat rides are on rails. You'll be fine." Many overheard him utter choice words to me when the captain came on to announce that we were on a free floating vessel (he must have overheard me!)

Same trip--travelling companion was totally offended by the Aladdin shirts the parks were selling--wondered why a family park would sell a shirt that said, "Did you rub my lump?" We pointed out to him (after crying with laughter) that the word is "Lamp".

I'm not sure if it's the funniest, but maybe the stupidest, and it came out of MY mouth!! Actually, my family thinks it's pretty funny and can't stop teasing me about it. Every trip since, no matter who is with me, they've heard the story and have to see where it happened!
In June, 2002, I was at WDW with just my then-17 year old DS. We had never seen AKL, so decided to go there on our arrival night, to check out the hotel, eat dinner at Mara, and go see some animals. As we were standing outside TRYING to see animals (it was already dark, plus I'm near-sighted and had forgotten my glasses!), I decided to look around at the balconies. I then made the STUPID comment, "Hey, look! Isn't that weird? There are people on every balcony and they are ALL skinny and have little heads!" To which my DS replied, "Mom....those are poles...".

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! I think I've been laughing for 5 minutes over this one. The sad thing is, it's sounds like something I would say!... :rotfl:

[SkipperBubba]

DW and I were at Typhoon Lagoon in 2003. I elected to try Humunga Kowabunga. She elected to remain at the bottom. After I came barreling down the slide, she recounted the tale of a middle aged British man who went down before me, stood up and uttered the line, "By crikey, that's the biggest wedgie I've ever had in my life" I had to sit down, I was laughing so hard.

[GurGie]

Funniest thing to me was on our last trip, as we are walking around and a kid up ahead is having a massive tantrum and the parents are arguing, my now 9 yo daughter mimicks me and says (rather loudly) "Welcome to the happiest place on earth!!!"

:moped: ciao!

[tlbwriter]

I think there might have been a thread like this, but we overheard something so funny last weekend I just had to share. While we were in MGM Studios we heard a teen telling anothere teen that they were going to see the " Ozzie Osborne Christmas lights" :rotfl: Now those would be some interesting lights!!!
I have to admit I never heard of the lights before last year, so I assumed they had something to do with the Osbournes too. "Sharon, look at all the f-ing lights!!!" :rotfl:

[Tink0513]

This was soooo cute!

We were over at the Contemporary just resort hopping and shopping on Saturday May 21, and we hopped on the DTD bus. We picked up some people at the PR, and this family with 3 boys came on the bus. The littlest of 3, told his mom, "Mom I want to go see the big golf ball today!!!!" I was like awwww cause he was the cutest little boy!!!!! :goodvibes

My first post!

A few years back, I didn't so much overhear several amusing lines, as I--well, actually, I said them! I was having some health problems and was taking a medication that put me into a mellow fog during which the connection between brain and mouth were not functioning at their best. When I meant to suggest that my son and I ride PotC next, it somehow came out as "Carrots of the Pyrobbean!" And as a topper, while at AK having just ridden Dinosaur, I commented that it wasn't as scary as the first time we rode it because it had lost the "elephant of surprise..."

Needless to say, my son has NEVER let me forget about these gems!! :blush:

I'm not saying that someone's medical condition is funny, but on our first trip with the kids (M12 & A8) we went through the Back Lot tour at MGM right behind a young lady with Terets. Needless to say our kids got an education.
Again the medical condition is not funny and I'm glad that the young lady got a chance to experience the magic!

[DaddyBeast]

A 2 year old after riding POTC started singing "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's After Me".

[tink90]

I rememberd one! While riding The Animal Kingdom Safari there was a little girl (about 3 yo) sitting behind us. There were loads of animals out that day for some reason. There were Giraffes in plain sight, and Elephants too! Howevor the little girl was too small, or didnt have a fast enough eye to see these animals. Then at the end of the Safari where the "pochers" (spelling?) are cuaght and the "Baby Elephant" (not exactly the real thing ;) ) sits in the truck the little girl yells "Look Mommy an Elephant! And I saw it! Do you see it Mommy?" It was so cute, I laughed the rest of the day!

[revrob]

My favorite has to be from the mouth of my 8 yo DS. Last November (he was 7 at the time) while walking around and listening to children scream all day long, he finally outs with "You know, this place would be perfect if it weren't for one thing - all the screaming kids!"
I gotta say, there are times that I agree.

[tn_disney_addict]

Not really funny and sad in many instances....but I have overheard some variation of: Shut up and have a good time!!!! too many times to count.


Huh, I tell my DH to shut up and have a good time ALOT while we are there :rotfl:

[tn_disney_addict]

I can add to that one. After our entire family went together for a week at WDW, we were asking the kids what their favorite parts were, and everyone was naming favorite rides, etc., when my neice yells, "My favorite was that train at the airport - that was AWESOME!"

If only we'd known that we could save all that admission and just let her ride the airport monorail/tram thingie over and over.


We splurged on the pay for 4, stay for 7 and stayed at the Wilderness Lodge instead of our usual All Star Movies....my daughter must have thought for days and finally asked "Did we get poor, how come we couldn't stay at the DISNEY hotel" :earseek: Needless to say, we are staying in the value resorts for as long as we can get away with it!

[CAD3655]

Funny one that happened to us...It's a long set up but worth the punch line, I promise :rolleyes:

I had taken my sister to WDW in January 6 years ago. Right before we were scheduled to leave, she fell and broke her ankle and got an infection needing antibiotics. Well I wasn't going to let that stop MY fun!

We got down there and she started to develop a terrible rash from the antibiotic...so I have her some benadryl to help with the rash and. Well that warning about not operating heavy machinery on that stuff shouldn't be taken lightly. She was in a fog for most of the trip, no matter how much caffine I tried to get into her. :confused3

One day it was somewhat cool, and we decided to go to the Tiki Room. Well it was warm, dark and she had a couple of Benadryl in her. She fell asleep during the attraction. SNORING, I mean lumberjack sized, room vibrating snores. The whole room was giggling listening to her. Then I decided I'd just get her out of there instead of ruining the show for all, but an older woman next to me told me to just leave her it was fine. So we stayed.

As the show ended, she suddenly came awake and started clapping. The older woman then asked my sister if she enjoyed the show.

My sister replied "I'd never seen it before, but it was really good"

I replied "Well it would have been better if your view wasn't obstructed by your eyelids"

With that everyone cracked up....

This is funny regarding Disney World.

I excitedly went to the library this week to pick up a new Disney travel book that I reserved.

When I walked in, I saw that the woman working the desk was a clerk I try to avoid. Not that she is unfriendly, it's just the she announces the books you are taking out and wants to talk about each one.

"Irritable Bowel Syndrome (or insert any other disease, ailment or malady you'd rather not discuss in a large public place with many strangers)!! Wow, I hear that's problem." As she flips through the book so you can't leave.

I get to the counter and ask for my book.

"Hmmm, Disney World. I suppose you're taking some children on a trip?" she asks.

I smiled sweetly and told her that you don't need to have kids to have a great time at Disney World.

She kind of looked at me strangely and said "Well, as long as they're good to their dolphins. That's all I care about."

I paused for a second because I wasn't sure if she was confusing Disney with Sea World, or if there are even any dolphins (Maybe Epcot Living Seas?) in Disney World. I replied "Well, Disney is very good to ALL there animals as well as the humans that work for them."

She just gave a "humph" and repeated "Ok, just as long as they're good to their dolphins."

[DISUNC]

NOT ONCE>>>BUT TWICE....We were on Splash Mountain, years apart, and shared a log with a husband and wife. Both time's the two different wifes was literally MAD because they got wet...and both times the woman VOWED to write a letter to Disney complaining that they got WET on Splash Mountain.

The first time this happened myself & my nephew mad a joke out of it...and from then on, everytime we get wet (in the rain, at a pool...wherever) we tell each other we are "going to write a letter".

When a different woman said virtually the same thing on the same ride a year later...we laughed so hard...she gave us "the look"! :rotfl2:

[LongIslandCouple]

Okay, it's not a comment, but my wife found it pretty hysterical.

I commute everyday to work on a small train. Seating is very limited and it's virtually impossible to have an enjoyable commute.

There is one fellow traveler who most of us do our best to avoid sitting with. He constantly is talking on his cell phone (even at 5:30AM) and without trying to be overly critical, let's just say personal hygenie doesn't seem to be his forte.

The day before my last trip, I wound up sitting within 10 feet of him both going to work and coming home (1 hour each way). He was ultra-annoying that day and it was all I could do to keep from boiling over.

After I got home, I relaxed, breathed in a deep breath and thanked my wife for booking a trip to WDW so I could have a week away from the horror that is my commute.

The first night in Disney, you can imagine my surprise when my wife and I are seated at Teppayanki and the CM brings over the other people to our table - THAT guy, his identical TWIN BROTHER and their two wives!!! Sigh.

Okay, this is not about Disney at all, but I was reminded by LongIslandCouple's story, so sorry if you're bummed it's not Disney - I'll do better next time!

I went to grad school in Manhattan, but lived on LI because my husband was grad schooling there and we wanted grass. I was commuting on probably the exact same train LIC was talking about. And everyday I would leave really early because it took forever to get there, and most people would actually go to sleep on the train. I made this an art form. I got to the point where I could sleep anywhere (and this is not always a good thing - once I fell asleep on the subway, missed school and ended up all the way in the Bronx)

So one day I was very excited to have scored a window seat - much easier to sleep there. At the next stop, a very well-dressed Wall Street kind of guy sat down next to me. I put my bag on my lap, he got out his paper, and I went to sleep as always.

Now I'm dreaming that I'm at a junkyard, and I'm lying on one of those machine that flattens cars - sorry don't know the name - but you know, the big plate comes down and crushes the car. And I'm being very slowly crushed, and it hurts more and more and more, until finally I wake up.

It was completely dark, I could not move, and I had no idea where I was. I saw the bottom of the seat in front of me, and realized I was on a train, and thought, "Oh my gosh! We've had an accident! Am I injured? Is anyone else injured?" and I jerked to try and get up when...

The man sitting next to me also woke up and got off me.

He had fallen asleep reading his paper and fallen over on me (see, he didn't have that handy window seat) and had crushed me down almost to the floor.

I have never in my life seen a man so embarrassed as that man. :rotfl2: It was so bad that I actually felt terrible for him, but I could stop giggling for the rest of the trip. Which was 20 minutes. When we never spoke. And never made eye contact. And when we got to Penn Station, I've never seen someone actually run for the door before, but he did.

And my husband and I thought that it was kind of a frightening testimony to my level of sleep deprivation, that my body would rather work it into a dream, than wake up! :rotfl:

Okay, enough about the LIE. Back to your regularly scheduled Disney.

After a day at Blizzard Beach, my dd looks at me coming out of the hotel bathroom with a towel wrapped around me. She instantly said "Mommy you look like Nemo" - I didn't know what she meant, I thought maybe because I was wet :confused3 . So I get my clothes on the bed go back to the bathroom to get changed and look into the mirror to see that I was very burned (aka orange) with 2 wide strap marks (aka white stripes.) I started laughing so hard in the bathroom I went right to the toilet to go to the bathroom :rotfl2:

When we first sat down at CRT, dd looks around and spots Belle and Sleeping Beauty and she gets this big grin on her face and turns to me and says "They're here, they're here, Mommy look we found them in Cinderella's house!!" So we get a chuckle and I am so excited to be there too. So our server dressed in the CRT waiter outfit comes up and is so pleasant and calls her princess etc.. and she is gazing at him and then she blurts out "Where is Cinderella, Mr Prince Charming?" We all got a good laugh at that :rotfl:

I love thrill rides; just had my 43rd birthday and still love 'em. My family, however, does not always share my enthusiasm. I decided to "surprise" them with Space Mountain on our first Disney trip to DL. DH is sitting behind me so I don't see him take out his brand new video cam to tape the action. It was all he could do to hold on to the camera with one hand and the car with the other! When the car pulls in, I get out and look back and there is DH picking up, what I thought, were broken pieces of camera! :earseek: It turns out it was just the accessories that fell out of the camera bag, but I knew I was in big trouble, lol. For the rest of the time we were in any park in CA, any ride with the words "Space" or "Mountain" earned me a suspicious look from DH and the DK's.

I couldn't help myself; the last day I bought them all the T-shirts with the pics of scared Disney characters that said "I Survived Space Mountain!" :rotfl2:

Oh, and I loved this one: DD, then 5, received the first autograph in her book from Tigger. She took one look at it, says "I KNEW animals couldn't write, this is just scribbles!" She then tears it out of the book and crumpled it up. :rotfl:

Poor Tigger, too much bounce juice the night before?

This may be a "had to be there moment" but it happend at MK this past Wednesday. We were leaving the train station at Toon Town and a father was walking back from the dead end by the train station. He was pushing a double stroller with two toddlers and had a boy of about 8 years old walking beside him. He looked beat. As he was walking away from the dead end he said "C'mon son, there's no Disney magic back there". My mom and I had a good laugh over it.

[Daisy'sMom]

My poor father-in-law is the brunt of both of the following comments recently uttered last week. In AK, as we were leaving DinoLand and heading into the other areas of the park I make a point of telling everyone that all the animals in AK are real. This point is repeated a few more times while we are standing still so that everyone understands. Not more than ten minutes later my husband gets my attention and asks if I just heard what his dad had just asked. His dad had asked if the animals we were looking at were real.

This comment should then explain the comment made by my nephew later that week as we are standing beside the Finding Nemo display at EPCOT. My husband says he wants to have his picture made with Dory. My nephew, without skipping a beat, says "Papaw IS Dory." My mother-in-law began laughing immediately at this. My father-in-law acted offended, but with a grin because he knows he is Dory.

[Daisy'sMom]

I forgot one. My nephew8 had gotten a tube of that pixie stix candy and had eaten a good bit of it. A while later he turns to my mother-in-law(his grandmother) and says "Mamaw, I just cut the cheese and it smelt like cotton candy."

[LSUDis]

My 9 year old son knows a lot about WDW, and, unfortunately, he lets everyone know about it. Last week at MGM, my 7 year old daughter finally had enough. She wanted to show him that she knew as much as he did. As we walked from the Muppets toward Indiana Jones, they walked behind us. Suddenly, I heard her say in an authoritative, tour-guide voice to her brother, "Now we are walking past the Great Scary Cheese Village. There is a ride in there that will really scare you." Then, she sniffed, tossed her head, and marched onward.

I looked at my husband, baffled. Then, I looked around and burst into laughter. Do you know what the Great Scary Cheese Village is??????






It is the Tatooine (sp?) village right before the Star Tours ride. Now that she's mentioned it, the walls do look like a huge wedge of Cheddar cheese. Now, we call the famous Star Wars landmark, "The Great Scary Cheese Village."

[MickeyMacks]

"Mamaw, I just cut the cheese and it smelt like cotton candy."

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Oh no, I'm going to choke to death laughing over a "fluffer" joke! Next time I smell cotton candy, I'll look around for an eight year old kid with a guilty expression! :rolleyes1

[InsanelyMickey]

Not as funny as some of these but a couple weeks ago I overheard this exchange between girl and her boyfriend (?) who were behind DH and I in line for Splash Mountain...

As fastpass holders walk by on their side of the line...
Girl: Are those people cutting us?! (I got a chuckle out of this, but then...)



Boy's response: No, that's for a different ride.

Now, isn't that convenient to have two rides' lines so close to each other? :earboy2:

[WDWguru]

Last month while I was off doing press stuff, DH was at Epcot the day of the press event when the park closed at 3 pm. At about 2 he was headed back to the international gateway and passed a family in Canada. The two kids had run up ahead and called back to dad "Can we look at the totem pole?". The dad said "We have 17 countries and one hour... we don't have time to stop and look at anything!"
:D

[disneyfreakjackie]

I was waiting for this thread to pop back up!

I was in the One Man's Dream Movie at the end of the attraction (which I cry EVERY time). Anyway about four women sat behind us and I heard them talking about Walt Disney, wondering if he had any children. One women (thinking she knew EVERYTHING) said, "Walt Disney didn't have any children, he had neices and nephews that he treated wonderfully . . . he treated them like they were his children. He never got married." :confused3

I found it hilarious because we all know how he got the idea to create Disneyland!!! :rotfl2: DA!!!!

I couldn't help but turn around and give them the facts about Walt!!

They probably thought I was such a BEEE-ACH!! I couldn't contain myself. If they noticed the tears in my eyes during the movie, they were probably wondering what kind of DISNEYFREAKWEIRDO I was!!! :earseek: :rotfl2: :earseek:

[Briarmom]

These are so funny!

Last week ds6 and I were at DL and we were on the Grizzley River Run (sort of like Kali) and at the very end he yelled (in his best Incredibles' neighbor impersonation) 'That was totally wicked!!' The whole 'raft' was laughing at him.

[iwannabeinwdw]

We're at Blizzard Beach in April. I'm hanging out with napping 1yo dd, dh has ds(9) and dd(6). DH comes back w/o dd, I ask where she is, he says she is in line for Summit Plummet (Yes dh was lectured on safety issues). None of us have dared to ride this ride. We are all chicken and he left my 6 yo dd to climb the stairs by herself(!!!) and go on this slide :scared:

We all hustle over to the bottom of the slide, pick up a shaken but proud little girl and on the way back to our "camp" I ask her what had changed her mind about the slide. She said:

" I wanted to see if you really fly off the end?!"

The funniest thing that I had heard at WDW happened in the GF lobby. There were several characters in the lobby signing autographs. There was a little girl waiting to get Tigger's autograph. She was so excited that she was jumping up and down. Finally it was her turn! She ran up to him and gave him a big hug and said.."I just love your cereal!....Frosted Flakes are my favorite." I just thought that was the cutest thing :rotfl: :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce:

While in the World last week we heard a few funnies:

At Epcot when we passed Rafiki signing autographs I heard the following comments:
"Hey, isn't that the Lion King?" Could they not tell he was neither a lion nor a king? :confused3

Also heard this:
First woman-"Hey, isn't that somebody?"
Second woman-"Yeah, it's Pumba or Hakuna Matata or something like that."

While entering the FP line for Splash DD#1 witnessed a Disney Duh Moment....
Woman tries to enter FP line without FP when CM asks for FP she appears confused. CM explains the entire process but she doesn't get it--she turns to the rest of her group and says "Let's just go wait in line (75 minutes at the time), this is too complicated."


While waiting for Illuminations we had a couple approach us and ask to take their picture and "be sure and get the ball in it." Actually almost everyone who stopped there to take a picture requested that the photographer make sure the ball was in the picture.

And this from my own DD -- we always print out a license plate bingo game for the road trip and DD knows that the best place to spot license plates is WDW parking lots. As we were walking thru one such parking lot I asked DD which states was she stilling looking for--she rambled off about 8 states and then said she was still looking for one from London. :rolleyes: I told her to keep on looking...

I overheard a few people talking at MK while standing next to me.
One asked about the different castles between DL and MK. I really wasn't paying much attention at that point.
Then one person replied that (pointing to the castle) was Cinderella's Castle.
Reply: Then what castle does the Magic Kingdom have?

:scratchin Where did he think they were? :confused3

[Danno Magee]

My wife and I were waiting in line in Mickey's Toontown fair to get some autographs in the judge's tent. We ended up standing next to a nice family from the UK. The daughter was really excited about her trip and loved getting autographs. She told us about how she had been to MK and EPCOT so far. She was looking through our autograph book and suddenly exclaimed "Where did you find Princess Jasmine?!?" My wife said "Oh we saw her in Morocco". The girl got a confused and saddened look on her face and said "Oh...but we're in America". We all laughed and her parents quickly reminded her of her trip to EPCOT the day before.

[Luv2Roam]

We did experience something unique at ToT last Sunday. It rained on and off all day and the crowds had thinned out early evening.
ToT had a 13 minute wait. So we got FP for a second ride and did a walk on for the current time.
Usually there is a large crowd standing in front of the library doors.
Since the crowd was so light, there was a couple standing in front of the doors, to the far left, at the left hand side entrance.
Rather than gather around like most do, a line was forming to enter the library. (I have found it is true at WDW, stand long enough and people will form a waiting line. ;) )
It does not take many people for a line to start getting long.
Without even thinking DH and I stood near the first couple. (And actually surprised the CM did not tell guests to fill in all available spaces. I suppose because it was so light, he did not say anything.)
The woman did not say anything to us, but made a comment to the man she was with, meant for us to hear, that we were cutting in line.
Of course the room easily held the group we were with, with lots of space remaining.
I suppose she must have been a first timer, thinking the library doors would open into a que to go direct into the elevators.

Then... while riding ToT, DH and I were in the second row. In that section there are only three seats across. I was in the middle. A woman was on my left.
She must have been a first timer -- and a very friendly one at that. She was laughing and smiling the whole time. But right away during the dropping she started grabbing my leg, repeatedly. :earseek: Above my knee happens to be the one place I am VERY ticklish. :rotfl:
Then during a drop she somehow found my left hand and latched on to that as if she was going into labor! :laughing:
Had I been a man sitting next to her, that ToT ride may have been a very memorable experience for someone. :teeth:

The second ride included a boy (sans parents) who stated out loud more than once he was going to loose his food. (And not in those words) :crazy2: I couldn't get out of there fast enough! :crazy:

What a weird ToT day.

I know that you posted that because of the stupid answer, but I think the question is just as stupid. I guess it's true...ask a stupid question and you'll get a stupid answer.

We were at MK last week watching Cinderellabration when I overheard a little girl behind us say, "Daddy, after this, I want to go back to FancyLand!"

[mac3013]

When we were there last 4th of July, going again in 13 days, it was DS's first rip there. While watching Wishes one night DH was video taping and I was hold DS so he could see everything. He looks at me and says, "Mommy, this is the best day of my life" and we have it on tape.....

Funny stories!! Sorry we didn't run into each other last week! I left your phone number right here on my desk at work :blush:

Traveling with the baby made things interesting -- it took us something like 30 minutes every time we stopped for a bathroom break :earseek: I am surprised we accomplished as much as we did. We did spot some fellow DISers - we ran into JeffNebsky and his son at Soarin', saw LIFERBABE at SAB and ran past kpm76 and meuseman on the way to lunch at CRT. I'm sorry we didn't see you---how was the cruise and what did you think of San Angel Inn?

[sleepyone]

I've got a funny one! While we were in AK, waiting for Flights of Wonder's next starting time, my dh is pointing and stutters out the following, "Hey, there's the tree!". I'm totally confused wondering what he's talking about...after all The Tree of Life is in the opposite direction. "you know the tree, it's the tree, the one you were telling me about". To which I reply "The Tree of Life is the other way if that's what you mean but, I've never "told" you anything about it". He's pointing "no, over there *she's* hiding. Then it dawned on me he meant DeVine! The kids and I were laughing so hard at him; it was so funny. I had to take a picture of him by a plain old tree in the vicinity as a memory of his stuttering.

[conciergekelly]

We were at the pool at YC and a family was fighting about what to do next. The dad got real mad and said "I don't care what we do, let's just go make some F#$*&! memories". :rotfl2:

[Sthronds]

This just happened and I have to share this even though it is not WDW related at all. I am a Travel Agent and had a couple of clients at my desk talking cruises. The man said to me that what he really wanted was to go on the Titanic. I thought he was joking so I suggested that he look into renting a submarine. He gave me a funny look which made me question that he was joking. I asked him if he maybe meant another ship and he did, he meant the Queen Mary 2. Gave me a good chuckle after he left!

[Humphrey Bear]

I just remembered our first visit to AK about a month after it's grand opening. We were following a group of older ladies as we all walked towards Africa. As we come over the bridge and get our first look at the Village of Harmambe, one of the ladies says "Boy Disney sure has gone down hill...Look how BAD this place looks already, and it just opened a month ago!"

Here I was amazed at the job Disney did in making it look like an actual African village and this lady thinks the place looks like a dump!

[LLagow]

We were walking past a meet and greet with Woody and Jessie in MK in May. We overheard a guy saying "hey look they gave Woody a girlfiend, Is she new?"- Had to smile at that one! :earsboy: :earsgirl: pirate: princess:

[tone.def]

I just found this thread and I HAVE to contribute!!!

In February 2004, my boyfriend and I were seated at Beirgarden in the Germany Pavillion with a family from North Carolina - there was a grandmother, a mother and 2 children, a boy 12 and a girl about 5 or 6. When my boyfriend and I had returned with our food, the boy struck up a conversation with me because he liked "my accent" (I'm from Toronto!!!)

When we said where we were from, the mother was shocked and exclaimed that we couldn't be because we weren't saying "eh" at the end of every sentence. I decided to make fun of her because it wasn't the first time I had heard that comment for the day so I said, "that's because we gots post-secondary ed-u-ma-cation".

She looked slightly baffled and asked if that was "like grade school"???


AND THEN... she asked us how we got out of our country with all the snow and 'frozen stuff' we get up there. I asked her if she had ever been to California and she said no and I politely pointed out to her that the northern part of California (think - Redding and Yreka) is basically on the same latitude as parts of Ontario.

Her son had to tell her what latitude was and that Ontario (the province) wasn't in the U.S. because I was laughing so hard and couldn't!!!

[ksoehrlein]

Well, I said it myself, and it made other people laugh, but since they're probably not DISers, I guess I'll have to post it myself. After a failed attempt at dinner at Le Cellier due to 20-month-old DS crying and being disagreeable, I decided to take both kids to get ice cream while DH finished his meal in peace. We head out around World Showcase, in the direction of Mexico. There, I found margaritas (and boy was I tempted) but no ice cream. We keep walking. And walking. Finally I find ice cream at "The Outpost," that group of kiosks that are vaguely African in theme. I knew by this time that DH would have finished his meal and would be looking for us near Canada, and here we were, practically around the World from him.

As we were heading back toward Canada, we met up with DH in the vacinity of Mexico. Apologizing for the delay (and looking pretty haggard by now), I said, "It is no exaggeration when I say we had to go all the way to Africa for ice cream!" The family next to us cracked up.

[Belle's Castle]

The funniest thing I ever heard at Disney came out of my mother's mouth. We were on main street waiting for the daytime parade (1994 maybe) and someone who spoke little English was trying to get closer to the road. My little sister, brother, and myself were sitting on the curb with our parents next to us when these people started pushing us off the curb. My mother very nicely asked them to stop and explained we had been waiting a long time. However the pushing did not stop. After awhile my mother packed us up and said to the gentlmen: "May the birds of paradise poop on you." When we left the man was scratching his head with a strange look on his face.

[marcyinPA]

Its not a comment, but there was an asian woman about 85 yrs old, and her shirt, in huge letters on the front said EAT S%$T!

Se did not speak a word of english, somebody must havetold her itsaid Mickey mouse or something.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

My dh and I went to Disney on our honeymoon 'way back' in Oct of 93. We were having lunch at Pinocchio's and this cute little kid with an English accent was quite upset about the lettuce on his burger. "Mummy, I don't want salad on my burger"....We thought is was cute.....and now we always say salad for the lettuce and tomato on a sandwich or burger! :)

How funny! I heard something very similar when we were there in May! I was waiting outside the restrooms in Africa for the rest of our group when I overheard a group of people talking about how worn down both Africa and Asia looked! One woman was complaining about how terrible the ground was - all uneven, dirty, cracks, etc. and said "you'd think Disney could keep this place up - they don't seem to think AK is as important as the Magic Kingdom - the roads there look great!" Another woman in the group replied "I think this was a big parking lot or something before they built the park. They must have just left the parking lot and built this on top of it to save money." :rotfl:

I'm with you - I thought Disney did an amazing job of making it look authentic, and loved the close attention to detail!!

:rotfl: That is funny. We had a couple of athletic training students from Toronto here and they had some similar stories to tell.

To be fair though it does happen the other way. We work mostly outside in the evening, and it can get pretty cold and windy out. Upper 30's with wind chill on top of that. There's always someone from Canada, or Michigan, or somewhere up north that says, "I can't believe it's cold, this is Florida!" I guess they think we just walk around in shorts and tank tops every day of the year. :confused3

Yes, but you folks in Florida carry it to extremes. I was there the end of February this year. The temperature was in the high 60's and low 70's. I had just left Vermont where the temperature had been steady at about -18 degrees for the previous week. I was wearing shorts with a t-shirt in the parks and you Floridians were shivering, wearing parkas. Tickled the heck out of me.

I have to laugh at the people from up north talking about keeping cool and staying hydrated at WDW. You're just walking around! I played football, baseball, and soccer in worse heat.

I know it's not really a laughing matter, they obviously aren't used to the heat and are more susceptible to heat related illness. I just get a chuckle watching people walking around with those spray bottle fans and looking like they just finished running a marathon. Meanwhile I'm walking around barely breaking a sweat and telling my friend, "you know it's pretty nice out today."

YEP, I always find that a little cute too. They have to know I am a tourist because I am in tank tops and shorts when its in the low 70's. Geeze when we travel down its always a balmy 8 degrees or something around here.

We may not be able to handle extreme heat but you all couldn't survive in our cold either :teeth:

I survived in that cold for 35 years... now I've smartened up!!! 2 years here, and I am well adjusted to the heat!

Can't think of any really good ones, but when we were at MK 2 weeks ago, Chip came to our dinner table, and DS8 says, "Hi Chip, I'm NUTS!!"

I just get a chuckle watching people walking around with those spray bottle fans and looking like they just finished running a marathon. Meanwhile I'm walking around barely breaking a sweat and telling my friend, "you know it's pretty nice out today."

LOL! I think the same thing. I always wondered at all the various parks in FL about who would actually pay $12+ for one of those little spray bottle/fan things - then I found DIS and discovered they were actually popular. It's about 78 degrees outside now, and I was just commenting to DH on how cool it was tonight!

My grandmother lives in Tampa, and you're reminding me of years of us visiting her in "winter" when it was blizzarding here, and we'd get there and it was high 60's or low 70's. We'd all be in shorts, wanting to go swimming and thinking it was awesome, and she'd keep saying, "Don't you want a sweater, dear?" and telling my mother it was going to kill us. And we always loved her bringing out her gigantic parka to visit us on spring break. :rotfl:

[mathgeek]

Here are my couple of funnies to contribute after enjoying all of these:

1. Shortly after Star Wars Episode I came out, I was watching the Stars and Motor Cars parade at MGM. The Star Wars car with Luke and Leia came by and I heard a mother telling her kids to look - there's Queen Amidala and Han Solo. I walked away chuckling and trying to remember that not everyone is both a Disney and Star Wars geek.

2. Before there was fastpass we were waiting in a 90 minute line for Splash Mt., and the dad behind us, who had on one of those Goofy hats with the ears and was sweating horribly in the 95 degree July heat, was reading to his kids from his guidebook about the ride and had obviously never heard of Song of the South and the characters b/c every time he mentioned a "brer" character it came out sounding like "beara." My dad and I still laugh about the sweaty guy with the goofy hat who couldn't get the pronunciation right after many tries.

This is Disney related; though not actually at WDW. While out on the lake fishing this past weekend, my dd3 points & screams "there's Epcot". She was pointing at a water tower...heehee.

[michaelwilliammidd]

How funny! I heard something very similar when we were there in May! I was waiting outside the restrooms in Africa for the rest of our group when I overheard a group of people talking about how worn down both Africa and Asia looked! One woman was complaining about how terrible the ground was - all uneven, dirty, cracks, etc. and said "you'd think Disney could keep this place up - they don't seem to think AK is as important as the Magic Kingdom - the roads there look great!" Another woman in the group replied "I think this was a big parking lot or something before they built the park. They must have just left the parking lot and built this on top of it to save money." :rotfl:

I'm with you - I thought Disney did an amazing job of making it look authentic, and loved the close attention to detail!!

That is too funny.....they probably couldn't wait to get out of HM with it being so dusty and couldn't get out of SE fast enough as to not get caught in the fire that they could smell burning!!! :wave2:

[Ragnrok23]

Two things that really get to me

1) "I paid a lot of money for you to come here and have fun..."

2) When people complain about the long lines. All I remember from when I was a kid was at least a 2 hour wait for EVERY ride

[JDietz40]

Hi All,
I don't post very often but am a regular reader of these boards and had to share this rather long-winded bit of my day with you.
This is a snip-it from an interesting conversation with a co-worker today. She is going on a trip to the world in July with her family and her daughter will be playing in a national softball tournement at the sports complex. I have an overhead view of the EPCOT resorts area as my background on my computer and I made a comment about her being there in a few weeks. She asked where it was and I pointed out the various resorts and the visable EPCOT pavillions. Spaceship Earth is clearly visable in this photo. I was then asked wher Disney World was, knowing that many people refer to the MK as DW I showed her what direction MK would be. The response was I thought that EPCOT was part of the MK. I politely told her that there are 4 seperate parks and I was informed that they had park hoppers and couldn't wait to visit AK and IOA. I asked if she was aware that IOA and USF were not part of WDW and were several miles away. She said that she was sure that the park hoppers were good at all of the parks including IOA. I know that they are staying offsite so I am not sure what tickets that they really have but I would not be to shocked if they get a surprise when traveling to at least one of the parks that they intend to visit. I was also told that $75.00 per day is being budgetted per day for everything including food for 3 people. Some of you more thrifty DISers may be able to manage that but ther is no way I could cause' this boy likes to eat. I have told her a bunch of times to get a guide book any guidebook and have even offered one of mine although they are a few years old they would help alot.

It has amazed me when I have read things like this on this board in the past and now I have experienced it for my self. Why do people go on any trip unprepared let alone one with the expense of a Disney vacation. :confused3

[bibbidiboo]

I'm glad this post kept going, I've spent a good portion of today laughing my butt off!!! I have a few funnies to share

We took a big family trip (13 people in all) a few years ago and that all ways lead to funny things happening within the group
The first is my DNephew who was 9 or 10 at the time. We got to MGM and he was so excited all he could do was jump up and down and chant over and over "I'm missing Tower of Terror". I finally interrupted and said, "We're in line for RNR" He paused for a second and then "oh, okay" --I don't know, maybe you had to be there.

The second was my DNiece who was 16. Being the normal 16 year old, she acts tough and invincible--nothing can phase her. Well the whole family rode dinosaur (2 sat out) and we had a whole car to ourselves. At the end of the ride, we get the picture, and here she is cowering down in her seat with her sweatshirt up over her head. She didn't live that one down for the rest of the trip. (and of course, we have the picture to always remind her).

The next two are stories related to me about Space Mountain.
--My DH went with his family to WDW when he was a child and he wanted to go on SpaceM, his mom really didn't want to go, but being a good sport she went on. DH says that his mom chanted through the whole ride--Walt Disney wouldn't hurt me, Walt Disney wouldn't hurt me. To this day, I can't ride SM without saying this.

The other is my own experience as a child of 3 or 4 or so. (as relayed to me by my mom). I rode with my mom and screamed the whole time. When we got done with the ride my mom asked me why I was screaming. I replied "Because everyone else was". For years all I could remember about Space mountain was the red tunnel.


Hope these made you smile

[lbgraves]

--Walt Disney wouldn't hurt me, Walt Disney wouldn't hurt me.



ROTFLOL! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Had to laugh because on our recent trip DS decided to try Star Tours & BTMRR. We didn't have a long wait for either one but there was enough time for him to quiz me on what was going to happen. He just stared me down & asked if we would really be ok. I told him to look at the people in front of us & remember the long standby line that we had passed with the FPs. I promised him that WDW was going to make sure that we were safe because there were still alot of people waiting to get on the ride & they needed us to get out of there. :rotfl:

[CourtasanSatine]

:rotfl2:

[allisonwonderland]

not AT wdw but about it.I was talking with a co-worker(and very good friend) about our(me and DH) next trip.I was offering to get a larger room or suite off site so he and his partner could join us.i said"all ya hafta worry about are your tix,etc....I will pay for the room.And we can split th gas if we ride in the same car"...well..he went a few years back and just did not get the MAGIC i guess.so he did not wanna go. a few mintues later another co-worker(an older woman) had overheard us and said"I think that was nice of her.You should go,,you might like ANIMAL PLANET and MAGICAL STUDIOS....",,hhahaha,,,,poor lady.it was cute coming for her,,she is REALLY SUPER FLAKY and the stereotypical grumpy old lady.

[MickeyMousesGal]

Keep them coming! :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: lol!

[Loves Disney]

I am not sure if this is as funny as it was annoying for us. We were at the GF pool slide and were waiting for our turn down. My sister and dad were with me. This one boy comes up to the CM at the top of the slide and says something about going down backwards or something like that. The CM says "But that ain't right." the boy says "But that ain't wrong either." CM- "but it just ain't right." Boy-"But it just ain't wrong." CM-"It ain't right, but it ain't wrong." Boy-"It ain't right, but it just ain't wrong." This went on for a couple more minutes. Okay, at that point I felt like pushing the boy down the slide whether he went down backwards or sidewards or whatever. My dad and sister repeat what they said often, like when we have any doubt whether whatever we're doing is good or bad, "It ain't right, but it ain't wrong"! It made me laugh. Maybe you had to be there. :rotfl:

[Piglet42]

My favorite comes from something my mom said to be many, many, years ago. I was about 5 or 6 years old and we went on a trip to Disney with some family friends. I was scard to death of roller coasters back then, but of course my mother made me ride everything with her. First it was Space Mountain, of course being in the dark I was scared to death. Then we go and ride Thunder Mountain. Again, scared to death of the ride. After we got off the ride, I look up at my mom and ask her- "Are there any more mountains we have to ride?" Her reply-"Just one more-Death Mountain". I'm not for sure of my reaction, but I knowing me, I probably starting crying. After returning last year for my honeymoon, it's been about 20 years, I just have to laugh at myself of how non-scary those rides actually are.

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Several years ago (pre-DS) DH and I were in line for Space Mountain. There were three British folks ahead of us, two men and one of their sons. After a few minutes, someone had obviously...umm...passed gas. The father (I assume) said to the son (with a British accent, of course), "Did you fart?" "What?", said the son. "Did you fart?" said the father~"Someone laid a fart!" The son replied~"No... but I could!"

DH and I just cracked up over that!!!

[Simba's Mom]

To this day, I chuckle at this one: I was in line for IASW, and there was a young couple in back of me. Obviously the young man had never been on IASW, but the girl had. "So will I like this?" the man asked. Her answer? "Well, remember this-I love this and I love you very much!" Guess he knew he'd better like it!

[lajones81]

Oh these are just hilarious! Keep 'em coming! :)

[Aidensmom]

My own family generated a few laughs at Epcot this weekend:

1. DH and I sampled the wine flights in the Germany and Italy pavillions, and the CM's poured us one sample at a time and described each one to us as we were tasting it, spending a lot of time with us. In the France pavillion, we decided to do the same thing, but this time the CM just poured all the glasses at once, handed them to us, and walked away without a word. DH said "Well, that's the French for you" which caused a few snickers from the people around us.

2. At Turtle Talk with Crush, my 3 year old DS was sitting in the first row. He is the child that Crush first picked to interact with, but my child who normally is talking non-stop was rendered speechless. Crush moved on, and then later in the show asked if anyone had any questions. DS raised his hand, and was called on. For at least a whole minute, all he said was "Um, um, um, um, um........." Finally, Crush asked him his name, to which he replied "Um, um, um, um...Aiden!" Then Crush asked him what his favorite food was, again "Um, um, um, um.....cereal!" The rest of the day, whenever we asked DS anything, he would start laughing and say "Um, um, um, um......"

We were at the pool at YC and a family was fighting about what to do next. The dad got real mad and said "I don't care what we do, let's just go make some F#$*&! memories". :rotfl2:

I sometimes mutter something like this several times during the trip but usually to myself!
:rotfl2:

[aubriee]

his mom really didn't want to go, but being a good sport she went on. DH says that his mom chanted through the whole ride--Walt Disney wouldn't hurt me, Walt Disney wouldn't hurt me. To this day, I can't ride SM without saying this.


Let me preface this by saying I HATE ROLLERCOASTERS and always have. Anyway when I went in January I had promised my 8 y/o GD I would ride whatever she and her dad did. We rode BTMR several times, as it immediately became her favorite ride. I decided it wasn't that bad. Thankfully she never asked to ride SM and also missed the one at MGM. I went back solo in May and decided I was going to get over my fears once and for all. I decided to start small and build up. I rode BTMR a couple times and did fine. I then made my way over to SM. I wanted in the middle, but unfortunately wound up in the front seat with some 5-6th graders behind me. I asked if one of them wanted to ride in the front, but was turned down. Right after we took off I knew this wasn't a good idea and started thinking "it's just 2 minutes, it's just 2 minutes'. Unfortunately it didn't help that the kid behind me was yelling 'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die' continuously and the kid behind him was yelling 'I can see my hometown, I can see my hometown, and we're all gonna die'. Needless to say I never made to the rollercoaster at MGM. Oh well, maybe when I go back in Sept.

[GQNauticaGuy]

I overheard a conversation between a little boy and his dad while we were waiting in line for Splash Mountain.. The boy asks "Dad, how come the trees and grass looks so green here in DW?".. Dad replies with "Well son, each night after the park closes, they replace all the trees and grass".. Then the son comes back with "Well Dad, you should have them come by our house and replace the dead trees and grass".. :rotfl2:

Death Mountain

DEATH MOUNTAIN! EXCELLENT!!

[pooh4evr]

This was something I saw not heard but funny in a way - We were at Epcot sitting on a bench just outside Norway waiting for our PSLunch. On a bench a few yards from us was a Mom and little girl about 4> Mom was reading a map or something as daughter was playing, climbing on the black iron fence surrounding lake well Mon was not paying attention to girl, girl reaches through fence up to he shoulders and is throwing , grass crumbs at the ducks- long story short girl tries to get back out but her head is STUCK! She starts screaming- Mom is trying to push her head back through as a crowd begins to gather- a Cm is also there calling for help on radio, this goes on for a couple of minutes until Mom reallizes the child's body is small enough to fit through the bars, so she pushed her all the way through and lifts her over the fence to cheers. Like I said it is kind of funny in a way if it is not you!

[GoN2WDW]

I'm thinking it might be me this weekend saying "Are we sure we wanted to come to WDW on the 4th of July! :rotfl2:

[gppnj]

I have a story to add. I didn't overhear this because... I was one of the people involved.

I was in Fantasyland with a friend of mine. He and I have known each other for many years, and we have the exact same offbeat sense of humor.

A man standing next to us called out to his wife, who happened to be named Dominique. A half second later, without exchanging so much as a glance, my friend and I (in unison) both burst into the song by the Singing Nun "Domi-neeka-neeka-neeka-neeka-neeka-neeka-nee..." (My apologies for the younger participants on this board who have no idea what song I'm referring to.)

If just one of us had started to sing the song, the man might have been amused or annoyed, depending on his sense of humor. However, he looked horrified, and I tihnk it was because we both immediately started singing it together. He must have thought we had been stalking him all day just waiting for the opportunity to start singing that.

[babytrees]

I have been laughing so hard my cheeks hurt!!

Thanks for all the great stories....one of my own told to me by my mother.

Back when I was 4 or so (about 30 years ago)we went to Disneyland and my dad had me on his shoulders as we are waiting for the parade to start...I told my dad I had to go potty and seems he didn't want to wade through the crowds he told me to hold it until the parade was over. As we are getting on the next ride (no potty break :rolleyes: ) I peed all over him.....my mom said "you told her to wait until the parade was over and she did!!"

Never underestimate a kids ability to take you literally!!!

Actually, in Future World at Epcot they play a recording of a bird in distress to warn away other birds. They were having problems with the birds trying to nest on and around the buildings and it was causing some problems.

Most people don't even know its playing unless they really listen for it. I always wondered why they didn't do this in the other parks as well.

I understand the need to do something but as a lover of birds, I find this disturbing. This is one fact I wish I didn't know about. Kind of like if someone said they played the sound of a dog in distress to keep away stray dogs. The image of what is happening to get that recording is not a nice one. :sad2:

:3dglasses I bird watch from my backyard...

If you stood outside long enough with a tape recorder, noises like that occur daily ...

As the LP said, I doubt if Disney would intentionally put an animal in distress to record it :confused3

Now! On with the show.....

Whose got more Disney anicdotes!?!?!

All my anicdotes are in photo format :rotfl2:

Check my favorite photo album from our December trip :3dglasses

We had four teenagers and two grown "boys" on that trip...it was quite a Journey........ :3dglasses

[Matt'sMom]

Edited with my apologies. I honestly thought 'old one' was just kidding. :blush:

Nothing to get upset about. Real animals are not being harmed in order to generate those 'distress calls'. And playing those calls does not cause any harm to the birds at Epcot, but merely discourages numbers of them from taking up permanent residence.

Great thread!

We made our first trip in May(me, DW, DS10, DD's7,4,1). This might be one you had to be there for, but at AK, DW and DD7 were getting ready to go on Dinosaur while the rest of us waited. DS10 said "if mom thinks it's scary, I might go on it, but if Allison(his 7 year old sister) think's it's scary, I'm definitely NOT going on it."

It was funny because it's not every day you see a 10 year old boy freely admit that his little sister is far braver than he is.

[kjs1976]

When we were in line for BTMR I heard a kid ask his mom, "What's a cast member?" and the mom replied, "I think that's what they call someone who works here."

Just funny to me because it was obviously their first Disney trip!

Also funny to go on Pirates with two couples who have never been on it and are "ooohing" and "ahhhing" about everything..."Oooh, oooh, did you see that? How about that over there? That is so real!"

[DisneyDuo]

Okay, I don't have a funny comment, but how about a funny look?

In 1984, while living in Tampa and finnishing up my college degree, I came down with mono. My folks came down from CT for graduation and really wanted to go to WDW. I was still too weak to walk around the parks all day, so we rented a wheelchair. It was an interesting experience to see how people looked at me, because there wasn't anything obviously "wrong" with me.

As we were getting ready to leave Epcot for the night, I had to visit the rest room. As my husband wheeled me up, there was an older man sitting on a bench waiting for someone. He gave me a sad, sympathetic look. My husband said to me, "Hurry up, we need to get on the road." So I jumped out of the wheelchair - and looked over to see an expression of pure shock on the old guy's face! I expected to see in the paper the next day, "Miracle Healing at Disney World!" It was a riot!

[MyHappyEnding_]

Haha, The first time I went to Disney World I was 6. I was in love with Simba so I bought a Simba backpack at a shop in Epcot. I brought it along with me every day during the trip. Well, the day we went to MGM I was way to scared to go on TOT so I took the 'chicken out' elevator. The Disney worker who was in the elevator was trying to talk to me, and he told me that he liked my WINNIE THE POOH backpack. Being 6, I just gave him a weird look. But come ON, if you work at WDW you should know the difference between Simba and Pooh...

[rpbear]

One of my favorite comments was made by DD who was 6 at the time. We get on the bus to go to a water park for the first time. We arrive at the water park and she annouces to the whole bus look we are at Typoon Galoon.
She got a few chuckles for that. To this day we still call it Typoon Galoon and she is 11 now.

Also my DD at 6 called the monorail the bestest ride ever and to this day wants to say at CR everytime we go to Disney. The monorail is still her favorite ride the RnRC runs a close second.

Don't feel bad....we were snowed in all day yesterday....now you are getting the same storm.
So Threads like this kept me entertained all day!! :earboy2:
Now just waiting for DH to finish clearing the drift out of the drive.

So I will add one of my stories.

Our first visit with DD, 1998, she was 7....the first day we went to MK, and the next morning it was raining, but hot, so she had her bathing suit on and playing in the rain at the resort. I was video taping her and asked her what her favorite ride was so far....
As she was dancing in the rain......she replied...."I LOVED the Captains of the Canopy!! " She was talking about Pirates of the Caribean!
So we still call it "Captains of the Canopy" :earboy2:

My son called it "Captains of the Carivean" forever. And he called It's a small world, "Itsy Bitsy Small World" :rotfl2: oh and Minnie Mouse is still Mrs. Mouse or "mickeys girlfriend" to him. I don't know why he cant' remember her name.

[christinadei]

Also my DD at 6 called the monorail the bestest ride ever and to this day wants to say at CR everytime we go to Disney. The monorail is still her favorite ride the RnRC runs a close second.

That's so funny. I asked my DS5 and Dnephew2 1/2 what their favorite ride was that day at the MK, to which they both replied, the Monorail.

omg last time we were staying at pop century at went on a midnight chocolate cake run (there sooooo good) so we were in the line and there were these 2 boys in fron of me and my mom and they didn't understand english (there from iceland or something) and the lady was like what are you saying and they were buying a pizza so my mom tried to tell what they were saying no luck so finally they got an interperter and the guy who interperted said they already paid so the lady goes "Then what are you doing here!". it was pretty funny and then theres the time where we go lost trying to find our room and were scared that some dude would grab us oh i know annother


It is really an experience so i was on space mountain and was terrified and when i got the first row lets say i wanted to run out of there but i didn't cuz then i wouldn't get a present so when i started screaming it got to the point where the lady behind me asks if im okay i was sooo embarressed and like at the end the guy was like are you ok im lik i don't feel good but my aunt was all happy. that was a pretty funny


oh just remembered when i was like 8 we were coming off big thunder mountain railroad and this kid who was a teenager said reaaallly load "I Wet My Pants" and his pants were soaked it was sooo funny

[christinadei]

When we were going into Mickey's Philhar Magic, my very impatient sister thought that we wouldn't fit onto the row, so she jets down to the front. Me and DS jsut stayed put and there was plenty of room, the line was just moving slow. well this lady and her DD sat down beside us and she was so loud the whole time. She kept singing loud, and when Flounder came on the screen, she said to her dd: "look it's NEMO!!" and then when tink came on at the end she said: "THUMBALEEENA!" I teased my sister about leaving and making us be tortured listening to this lady the whole show.

[brer rabbit 28]

ok this one came from me last year.
we were stood in the philarmagic queue,had just got inside the building where you snake round the line.I saw this guy head to toe in tattoos of disney characters,and then i remembered seeing his website a few months earlier.I completely lost it,turned to mum and said very loudly,"LOOK IT'S THE DISNEY TATTOO GUY!!".Of course he heard me and i was mortified that i had been so loud about it!We had to pass by him every few minutes in the line and i just wanted to die of shame-mum was hysterically laughing at this point because i was soooo embarassed.Wish now that i had spoken to him bout his tattoos.So disney tattoo guy,hey there!so sorry for being such a british dork!! :rotfl:

"Do you know what EPCOT stands for? Every Person Comes Out Tired."

From the tram anouncer on the way to EPCOT from the parking lot in the morning.


Our bus driver also told us what MGM stands for....
"Mickey's Gotcha Money!" :teeth:

My goodness... truer words were never spoken! LOL
But I think the one about carrying toddlers is also very true. LOL

[lucyanna girl]

On our June trip this year DD and I could hardly contain our laughter when a goup of Very large ladies charged by us at Magic Kingdom with the front lady shouting at the top of her lungs " Where is them bumper cars? I wanna ride them bumper cars!"
For the rest of the trip and still today we laugh about "them bumper cars". :rotfl2:

[FanOfStitch]

First let me say, this thread has made me laugh out loud many times. I had to stop reading at work as I got busted.

Not sure if this will seem as funny written down as it was when it happened, but I'll give it a try.

Anyway, last year we were at Typhoon Lagoon in August. As you know, Florida gets rain every afternoon in August. So it's starts raining but since it was not lightning out, they did not close the wave pool or the park. As everyone is making a b-line for the exits, my son and I headed to the pool. As we are walking we pass a woman and her son, just getting out of the wave pool. As they're walking the mom yells at her son "Hurry up and get to the buses before we get soaking wet!!"

My son and I just about died. I mean, they were just in how many millions of gallons of water?? :rotfl:

[DizzneyDi]

A few years ago DS and I were at EPCOT and we decided to see Food Rocks while waiting for our FPs to Living with the Land to be due. The parks were very uncrowded that trip, and there were just a handful of people in the theater. We sat next to what looked like a pair of sisters (adults). These women got so involved in that silly little show. They were clutching each other and literally screaming with laughter from beginning to end. I've never seen anything quite like it! When we were leaving the theater, DS said "If they got that excited over this, how are they going to react to Test Track or Spaceship Earth!" We kinda figured that sisterly aneurysms were a definite possibility! Fortunately they didn't do Living with the Land with us. Just imagine how they would have reacted to Mickey-shaped vegetables! :earboy2:

Oh, too funny! :rotfl2:

You should have told the them that them bumper cars were next to the ferris wheel! :flower:

[UltimateWDWFan]

We were eating breakfast at the resort and a family of folks from Britian sat down next to us. The kids were eating pastries with their fingers. Up walks mom and says "Just because we are in America doesn't mean you have to eat like them, use a fork and knife."

My family just looked around the table at each other and cracked up.

:teeth: I love that one! I can't even understand why some people thing that pizza requires utensils!

[UltimateWDWFan]

We just got back this morning and we heard some pretty funny things but two that stick out right now is when we were on the bus to MK from CSR. This women infront of us was talking to her husband when we drive by the Wilderness Lodge. She turns to him and is all excited because she loves this resort. She goes to him " Hey look it's the Wilderness Lodge, it's like this lodge that's in the Wilderness". Wow!! What a great discription.... hence the name "Wilderness Lodge" The same women than asks her two little boys if when the bus stops at the MK if they want to take the boat or the monorail to the MK??? Where did she think the bus we were on was taking her???

Another one was when we were going to MGM and we were driving by the Swan and Dolphin and this lady yells accross the bus to her mother "Hey Mom look it's the Grande Floridian. I've stayed there tons of times" When did the Grand Floridian Move?? and when did they add huge structures of a Swan and Dolphin???

I just want to scream when I hear people make these comments


:teacher: Keep in mind that not everyone is as well-informed as we are, and unfortunately not everyone has discovered all the great resources available on the DIS.

Even I've been known to say an incorrect thing or two in my WDW haze. --As for the MK buses, remember that they used to drop off MK people at the TTC, and then from there you had to choose how to get across/around the lake. Poor lady probably just hadn't been able to get to WDW in quite a while.

[UltimateWDWFan]

Have you kidnapped my mother? :rotfl: My mother does the exact same thing. "Let's go on Fast Track." I always have to correct her but she still gets confused. :rotfl2:

;) When we get our Fast Passes for Test Track, then we call it Fast Track!

[ukdisneydreamer]

lmao

bumpety bumpety bump bump bump

[UltimateWDWFan]

people say the derndest things!! Here are 2 things I have heard!

:confused3 One lady walked up to a MK CM and asked her 'WHAT TIME IS THE 3:00 PARADE?"

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

We were at the WL and waiting to get on the bus to TTC and some man asked the driver of the bus "DOES THIS BUS TAKE YOU TO THE TICKET AND TRANS CENTER"...(uh...the destination was right on front of the bus).

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Yeah, but I've seen those buses when they forgot to change the info on the marquee. Have that happen to you once, and you're a lot more likely to ask, just to make sure!

This was a couple of decades ago in the Magic Kingdom. Leaving the Hall of Presidents my sister (around 14 at the time) asks "How did they find so many actors to play all the presidents?"

[CheapMom]

On the monrail a 4 year old boy and his family shared a car with us. The 4 year old struck up a conversation with my 7 year old son. He was very impressed with my son- he liked the fact that he was in 2nd grade and played soccer. They exited the monorail at the stop and just as the doors were closing we heard him call out after us, "WAIT, Joey, Wait- I want to get your autograph." He was waving his Disney autograph book. I thought that was cute.

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

The funniest we heard was easy to overhear since it was my DS5 who said it! We were on the Kilamanjaro Safari when we got to the area where we first saw his absolute favorite animals - the enormous crocodiles. He was in heaven with a grin from ear to ear. He turned to me and said, "Daddy, I love those silly little crocodiles!" The whole truck laughed out loud.
:banana:

[slk537]

We were on the Jungle Cruise last May and DS hadn't been on since he was a baby. He is much more used to the Safari with the real animals. Well, as we sat on the boat at JC, I was enjoying the humor and our guide's spiel, with my arm resting on the boat behind DS. Suddenly he jumped, grabbed my arm and yanked it inside, saying, "Mommy! You have to keep your arm inside the boat!" The poor child was afraid I would have my arm chomped off by an alligator.

Bad parents that we are, DH and I kept moving our arms towards the outside of the boat, only to have them yanked back in for the rest of the trip. It was adorable how concerned he was. Three and a half and convinced the animatronics were real... :rotfl:

How I love that little boy!

[snowy76]

;) When we get our Fast Passes for Test Track, then we call it Fast Track!We've done that too -- until we realized why we were doing it. This year they opened a gas station down the road named - you guessed it - Fasttrack!

[bigmerle1966]

Just last week during our trip to WDW my friends 9 year old was trying to catch one of the little lizards that are so plentifull there at our resort. He comes in to the room and excitedly tells his mother that there is a really big one on the tree outside. She opens the door and looks out and says "Brandon, thats a squirrel"

[WebmasterJohn]

What a great thread!!!

Here are mine:

1. While riding the monorail during the 100 Years of Magic Celebration at WDW a young mother turns to her young son and says 'This place was very different 100 years ago when Walt first opened it'.

2. While on the monorail every time the voice told us to stand clear of the doors in Spanish this very nasally sounding woman turned to her daughter and at the top of her voice said 'Las Puertas means Doooooorssss!' This continued for almost the entire loop.

3. On the Disney Magic the Cruise Director, Jackie at the time, had just finished her mid-morning announcements over the intercom and ended with her usual cheerful '...and have a Magical Day' - this young girl (probably no more than 4) dressed in her princess outfit screams 'I LOVE Magical Days!!!'

[LiLIrishChick63]

this wasn't IN Disney but hey, still kinda funny......

my parents are going to DW in 2 weeks and a few weeks ago my father told me my mother was telling him some things about it(it's his first time going, her second) and he kept talking and talking and i kind of zoned out until i hear him say "yeah and they have that big chicken you can eat off of....."......wait what?? big chicken you can eat off of? so after being so confused and asking my father exactly what he was talking about i came to the conclusion that......he was talking about the Turkey Leg. my poor father. my boyfriend and i always joke around about our trip in less than a month and going to see "the big chicken you can eat off of" :teeth:

[twalton]

One time my wife and I were at AK, meandering through the Pangani trail in Africa when we came across a family from Britain. The mother was frantically trying to calm her daughter (about 4, in her stroller) down. She didn't want to look at the "nasty gorillas" (insert best British accent here). After going on like this for a couple of minutes, the mother says something to the effect of, "maybe we'll just go back to the hotel, then, if you don't want to look at the animals!". To this, the child "harumphs", crosses her arms, and says (again, in her best British accent), "Mummy, you're a naughty mummy!"

We still use that line frequently when we see any upset children!!

[julie_yet]

travelling companion was totally offended by the Aladdin shirts the parks were selling--wondered why a family park would sell a shirt that said, "Did you rub my lump?" We pointed out to him (after crying with laughter) that the word is "Lamp".
ROTFL!!! :rotfl: I'm crying over here.

[GoN2WDW]

there are "great events in Space Travel" type signs. The woman in front of him sees the one that says "2030 - First Family in Space" which includes the family dog, Sunspot. She says, "That's just dumb, don't they think. That dog will never live that long!" :rotfl2: They proceeded to have this whole conversation in line about how even if the dog was a puppy and a breed that lived long, it could never live 25 years... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[donaldsgal]

On our first trip in 2001, we went to see "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience". This was the source of some serious fun and laughter for us. During the scene where the mice run out from under the seats, my sister was bursting with laughter and immediately lifted her feet to the back of the seat in front of her. In her surprise and laughter, she started kicking her legs - forgetting they were on the back of someone else's seat. At the end of the attraction, she leaned forward to apologize to the woman who was repeatedly pummeled by her feet. The woman started to laugh and said, "Oh - I thought that was part of the show!" :rotfl:

[katedrew94]

Overheard while waiting in line at PP, a child was complaining about the wait and the parent said- "waiting in line is part of the Disney experience."

[fishinChip]

Last week while waiting for Wishes to start,we were sitting on the curb in front of the ice cream parlor next to another family.We were chatting about the park when the mom mentioned how much her feet hurt.Just as I was agreeing with her about all the walking, her DD,about 8 or 9,said in a really loud voice "that doesn't mean you can have two drinks tonight." It was funny for us, but her mom looked embarrased and told her to keep quiet.

[ElleBelle]

Ooh, Ooh, I've got one! On our trip in May 2002, we were in Blizzard beach standing just outside of the wave pool. A few feet away from us was a middle-aged, bald man with a thick southern accent. I guess he had gotten a little too much sun, because as he was standing there he exclaimed (In the thickest southern slang) "My heads on fire!!!" (From him it sounded like "MAH HEEDS ON FAAARRR")- and pretty much everyone that heard him say it started cracking up.

Ever since then, my husband will tease my dad (who is now middle-aged and balding) and ask him if "his heeds on faaar" whenever we're out in the sun! :rotfl:

My family (mom, dad, 22 yo brother, and 12 yo sister) were at Disney a few weeks ago. When they were on line for POTC, a little boy (about 5) turned around and said to them "It's a Small World sucked, didn't it?". My brother said he almost died laughing, as did my mom. :rotfl2:

They said that the little boy's mother was really embarrassed, but they thought it was hysterical!
