Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[dznygurl]

A frustrated dad to his son, "where is that frickin golf ball". They were at Epcot.

This could have sooo been my hubby and son last week! We split up during our visit at Epcot. I was so busy trying to keep track of my DD and my 2 year old AND my niece, that I quickly told my hubby "just meet us at 4:00 by the big golf ball!". (Now I know it's SpaceShip Earth, but I was really pressured with the kids, and "golf ball" was all I could get out of my mouth!)

He was rushed for time to meet us and told me when he found us that he was frustrated trying to get to the "golf ball".

[LiteBrite]

Oh the HM in WDW seats three?? :woohoo: Thats cool, the one in disneyland only seats 2
I don't think they're big enough for 3 adults (at least, you'd be really squished if you tried). Two adults and a child works, though.

Like someone else stated before you can, but it does tend to get kinda squishy. I rode this last year with my mom, grandma and I. It was kinda squishy, but it wasn't too bad. We survived the ride like this. haha. The only thing that sucks is that the part where you look in the mirror and you see a ghost seating with you, well he was basically in my lap. haha. So that part isn't as cool, but hey.

[PrincessJasmine1972]

I love disney, dh not so much. Last year dh finally agreed to stop by for the day on our way down to visit his grandma in Ft. Myers Beach. As we were walking through the park I hear him softly singing something over and over again and I asked him what he was singing and he says, " Harpoon the Potato". Uh, what? He then says well I am at disney so I figured I would sing a disney song. Once again uh what disney song are you trying to sing? His response, " you know the one from the lion king". Ahh you mean Akuna Matata? DH, Oh is that what they are saying I thought it was Harpoon the potato. :rotfl:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: talk about misheard song lyrics!

[LadyZolt]

I love this thread -- so much fun!

I've got one that wasn't at Disney, but is Disney related -- we had seen "101 Dalmatians" and one day, my DH left me and the kids in the car to run into a grocery store and a car pulled up next to us. When the lady driver got out, her car door came close to our car, so, since my window was partly down, she asked me if she'd hit the car, and I replied that she had not. Well, it was around Halloween and this lady looked a lot like Cruella DeVille. She had weird hair, but not quite as deep a contrast as Cruella, and she was wearing a long coat. Even her car looked like Cruella DeVille's car. So my DS8 in the back seat says, real loud, "Are you talking to the witch, Mommy?" I couldn't bring myself to say to a total stranger, "Well, you know you look just like Cruella DeVille," especially because it wasn't actually Halloween and I wasn't sure if she looked like that all the time or was actually dressed for a costume party. So I just hoped that she didn't hear my son's comment. We still joke about "talking to the witch." :)

was reading through this thread and it reminded me of something my 9 yr old said in the restrooms in disney.
me my 4 yr old and 9 yr old were in one of the family restrooms at disney and I had been complaining about prices at disney anyways that week and I guess he heard that, anyways you know how they have the tampon and napkin dispenser? ...well he saw NAPKINS $0.50 and said
"OH MY GOSH MOM I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CHARGE THAT MUCH FOR NAPKINS TOO!!" he was sooo serious!! it was hilarious and he didn't know what I was laughing at! :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl:
omg :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: that is toooo funny! omg hahahaha i told my mom that in mk bathroom and shes like wat napkins i just gave her a blank look and i could literally see the light bulb go off oh those napkins! i was too tired to get into in

[Maryr1]

We were in Disney over New Years and my husband came out of a mens room laughing so hard he couldn't even talk. When he finally got it together he said a little boy was in one of the stalls doing what needed to be done and as he flushed he shouted "TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!" The little boys father was there also and justed started to laugh so hard,......my husband still cracks up when he tells this story. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[MNRMommy]

Ours happend just outside the beach club. We had booked an Illuminations cruise on our tenth anniversary trip. We felt very guilty about having it to ourselves but no one on the sharing thread needed one for the day we had it. I asked the DH if we could just ask some random group if they wanted to share it and he said great idea. We were on our way in to the BC to get a bottle of wine and some glasses for the ride and a wonderful elderly couple was on their way out. (now picture me and DH with glitter and Mickey confetti in our hair because DH had had his hair cut at MK earlier that day and while I was laughing at the glitter they had dumped on him the other hair stylist snuck up behind me with a handful and got me too. Oh and I also had a pair of those pink fuzzy Minnie ears on). Well I had fogotten I looked ridiculous so I walk up to this couple and said "Excuse me but are you on your way over to catch Illuminations" The wife said hesitantly that they were so I said "we have a private boat here at the marina that is ready to leave in about ten minutes for Illuminations and explained how it would park under the bridge for a great view with no staking a claim for an hour next to the rail in the park. I asked if they would like to be our guest. They looked at each other like, is she for real, but then said OK thankyou we would love to. So I said well wait right here we are just going in to get a drink to take with us and we will be right back and we can get started. It took us about ten minutes and when we came back they were standing there looking worried and perplexed. She looked at me and said "oh good your are back, no offence honey but we thought it was a joke - we thought we were being, oh what do you call it punked?" When she said "oh what do you call it punked" I about died :rotfl2: Not what you expect out of a sophisticated older lady. Well we ended up having a wonderful time and they were on their 54th anniversary trip. It even got better when the boat we pulled up to was celebrating a bday and shared their cake - yummy. Since we had already paid for the cruise they sent us a lovely tin of assorted english muffins when we got back home as a thank you. I love fellow Disney lovers.

[ZanneMarie]

This is unfortunately about me but I still laugh at myself when I think of it. To preface this I am a person who is not fond of roller coasters or more specifically drops.

We had gone on Pirates in the spring and I had known about the drop but it snuck up on me and we actually had to wait a minute at the top for the boat in front of us to go down..I got a bit nervous but survived it ok.

Fast forward to the fall. Same ride but my parents were with us, my mom sitting next to me. Being the Disney know it all I was telling my mom about the drop and that I was going to warn her. One of my kids said 'here is the drop' and I said no it was not as we had not done the stop and wait for the previous boat....well much to my surprise it really was the drop and as soon as we start to go down I say in a none too quiet voice "oh, crap, It is the drop!" My family had a hysterical laugh at me and I had to laugh at myself too.

Lucky for me my family is not in to teasing as much as I am...I would have teased the person who said something like that unmercifully for the rest of the week...my family was kind and let it drop.

I think you still had it better than the poor woman on my boat on Pirates. There was no line for Pirates when me and DBF went, so we just walked on to a half full boat. They waited for others to walk down the ramp, fill the boat, and off we went. Well not so fast, had to wait for the boat in front to get far enough ahead. The whole time a lady in the boat was getting worried about the drop. Her husband was telling her it was big. Then the ride operator starting telling her it was a 6 story drop. She was getting very nervous at this point. Not trying to climb out of the boat but she was like "No, you're kidding right? It is that big? Oh boy. I don't like drops. You sure it is that big?" They both kept telling her it was a big drop and to hang on tight. The whole time everyone else in the boat is trying to stifle their laughter. So we go over the drop and all you hear is a blood curdling scream, then a big "That's it?!" :lmao: That poor lady. She took the joke well though.

Mine happened at DL, but it is related to DW. And it's kind of the opposite of this story.

In 1993, I went to DW & rode POTC. I loved it, that little drop was nothing. In 1995, I went to DL with my brother, SIL , 1 yr old niece & 4 yr old twin nephews. They were 2 when we went to DW & didn't go on any rides, but when we went to DL they were willing to try. So we get to POTC. SIL & I are trying to convince them to go on the ride. MY SIL comes up with a plan "Aunt Missy will take Sean & if he likes it, she'll take Joe." The boys agree & Sean & I go inside. There wasn't much wait, but I told him "Sean, there's a little drop, but it'll be fine." Well, anyone who has ridden Pirates at DL knows the drop is bigger--so when we go down the drop & it's big, Sean says "why didn't you tell me?" And I said "I didn't know!". Well, he loved it anyway & so did Joe. Sean & I still laugh about it, 11 years later! :sunny:

[Butterfly73]

The funniest thing that I ever heard in Disney was on the Monorail. A little girl of about 5 was explaining how cool the monorail was to her little brother and said that you go right through the middle of the hotel (Contemporary Resort)! She then added it's really fun going through the middle of the hotel except you can't see any people undressing or anything! :rotfl2:

[phoebusII]

This didn't happen at WDW but at DL yesterday. My mom asked me, "Do you want to go on Bud Light?" I seriously almost fell over laughing. :rotfl:

The names she has for some of the rides makes me laugh so much. :rotfl:


My DS used to call the character "Bud Liceyear" when he was small.

[sunny04]

So here's some we heard last week....

"Oh no....we got the Japanese map!"


"What kind of food do they have in Asia?"
"Asian food."

and my personal favorite (as I'm a theatre gal and drama teacher)
........"the actors get paid a lot!" :rotfl:

[tiggerbell]

A little weird, but yesterday in a Disney Store, a little boy was following his Mom around the store, and all I caught was, "Mom, what if Chicken Little was the Easter Bunny?"

I cracked up and really wish I could have heard the logic behind that statement!

[ldubberly]

Overheard Saturday at the Contemporary boat dock- Guest asked the Captain if there was a boat that would take him to Pleasure Island. Even my not-so-Disney hubby laughed out loud. :lmao: :rotfl2:

[druiser]

We're just back, and my own DS5 gave us (and several folks around us) a good chuckle last week.

Late into one of those long days at the parks, he tugged on my arm and said "Dad, will you carry me ... I'm tired of looking at people's butts". I know it made me crack up, and about 4-5 people in front of us busted up, too.

Not sure if it was true, or just a new excuse to be carried, but it was hilarious.

People in other office cubicles are staring at me as if I am crazy I laughed so hard at that one. :rotfl:

[mammoth_fan]

We were at the Contemporary...about 1980. It was night, raining like crazy, the monorail cars would bring rain into the hotel with them. We were walking by the front desk when we overheard a guest ask the CM--completely seriously--"Is this Disney rain?" :rotfl2:

[Mme. Leota]

I have two, and one is about me:

DH and I were in Animal Kingdom, buying gifts for our neighbors who were feeding our cats while we were seeing the Mouse. . . anyway, we wanted to have the gifts delivered to our hotel. We had been there 5 days, but when the lady behind the counter asked for our room number, I had no idea. I called DH over, and he had no idea. We started laughing hysterically, but the lady checking me out (from Africa) had this look of pity on her face, like there was something wrong with us. She was just shaking her head with that look. . . We knew how to get to our room, just not the number. Anyway, for the rest of the trip, anytime I thought of that I fell over laughing. :rotfl2:

The other was at EPCOT, I was in line for a yummy margarita near Mexico. The man in front of me in line did have three or four little boys with him, but I didn't think anything of it. When he ordered how many ever margaritas in different flavors, the lady behind the cash register looked at him kind of hard, like she was trying to decide what to say. She finally settled on "You do know these have alcohol in them, right?" The man replied in a British accent, "What? Alcohol? I thought they were slushes!!" He had indeed ordered them for the kiddos! I guess margaritas aren't quite as popular in the UK as they are in the US. And I guess that with the exchange rate $8 or $9 didn't seem outrageous for a slush. Ole!

[BethanyF]

This happened a couple weeks ago

I was watching DS while he was doing one of the kid stop things at AK when a woman walked up and started talking to the CM

woman....'maybe she knows....can you tell me what that big mountian is over there?'
cm...'ma'am, that's Expedition Everest, our newest roller coaster'
woman....'you mean there are rides here?'

[weirdpaintballr]

One time in MGM, we overheard an argumet between a husband and wife. Well, we were far enough away that we didn't hear all of it but it went something like this: (It was a husband and wife-her mother and a small child)


Husband:I don't agree with you and I don't agree with mother!
Wife: Just looks a little stunned....may have said something not very nice


Then the wife, her mother and the child just stare as the husband storms off...It was so hilarious after they left...


..then waiting for the tram...we look at the pople who came up right after us and it was the family....husband included....the wife still looked incredibly angry...we were trying so hard not to laugh

[tophee99]

We were at MK and had just finished watching the night time parade (which was amazing). My ds 4 had made friends with another young boy from Africa. We had an elderly couple come up and ask us where everyone was from......we responded Canada, and the other family responded Africa. They patted both boys on the shoulder and congratulated them on speaking "such good English" :confused3 It confused my ds........but made us laugh!!!

[mammoth_fan]

Overheard in the World Showcase just a few days ago:

A Mom stops dead in her tracks, turns to her husband with a face of rage, and screams "Don't YOU dare ACCUSE me of getting MOODY! I AM NOT MOODY AT ALL!!!"

Whoops...that might've been me :blush:

I'm finally learning that 37-year-olds DO need regular meals and naps.

[missy522]

This happened many years ago. We were at MGM, and it must have been the year after Beauty & the Beast came out. We were at the Disney Animation Studios. There were memorabilia from the movie, drawings and such, all over the room we were in, and in the center of the room was a glass case with the Oscar Award statuette that B&B won that year. My then 4 year old son looked at the Oscar and pointed, asking me in his sweet little voice, "Is that Gaston?" I'll never forget that!!!

[whitneyv]

During my husband's first trip to WDW, we were standing in line for the Safari ride and he was watching the clips that set up the ride experience (be on the look out for poachers!). He turned to me and said "I can't belive that there are poachers at the Animal Kingdon!" Since he is a very sarcastic guy, I just assumed that he was joking and replied "Yes, didn't you know? I think they come up from Miami".. just playing along with his joke. About halfway through the ride, he looked at me red-faced and laughed - having just realized that the "poachers" were just part of the experience. I couldn't let him live it down, and spent the rest of the week on the look-out for the "poachers from Miami".

What is sad is many of us have probably wished at some time or the other that we could have given our kids a margarita to get them to chill out,whether
from overly energetic to those infamous tantrums! :lmao:

My DS11 now, 3 at the time, was on the monorail with my father from the Polynesian to MK. They were seated next to a couple of elderly ladies that started chatting with my son. They said "What is your name young man?" to which my son replied "Taywor". His name is Taylor, but he had a hard time with his L's so it came out as a W. They said "Excuse me, I didn't understand you". So he repeated himself, to which they still did not understand. My son looks at my father as if to say go along with me on this one and replies to them "My name is Bob." :rotfl2:

LOL to this day we call him TayBob.

[NewCrew42]

We were waiting in line for the bus to leave AK late in the afternoon. The first family in line consisted of 1 mom with double stroller, 1 dad with small baby strapped to chest, 1 two year old laying on the concrete. The next family was a young couple very fit, very athletic looking. Next in line was our family, DH, DS (6), DD(4) and myself! When the bus finally rolls in, the line is quite long. The first family attempts to start loading, but the mom is having trouble folding the double stroller, and then having trouble loading the stroller on the bus. So much so that bus driver steps off to assist her. The dad is telling the two year old it is time to ride the bus. The two year old boy is not moving from the concrete and is laying there kicking & screaming, "I want to sleep on the ground!" About this time, the dad decides to bend over to try to pick up the two year old, but each time he bends over the baby starts to fall out of the front carrier. The very young, very fit man in front of us says, "Excuse me sir, let me pick up your little boy and carry him onto the bus." The dad says, "No, No, that's ok. I can get him." Two year still kicking & screaming, as the wife of the young, fit guy says, "Really, it's ok. He can help you. My husband's a professional hockey player and can handle this." At this point the dad just nods yes and loads onto the bus with the baby. Hockey player holds toddler up with arms extended to avoid beind kicked by the child. Everyone grateful to the hockey player loads the bus.


We still laugh about, "My husband's a professional hockey player, he can handle this!"

[ameraumi]

I was walking back one morning to our room after grabbing a quick bite at Pepper Market. I was behind a family and the dad was explaining to his DD that they cannot always get to do certain things because these kinds of vacations cost lots of money. The daughter replied, "oh, millions and millions of shiny pennies?" :rotfl: I chuckled and the father said, "exactly". It was priceless.

[LoveStitch]

I can see I'm going to have fun reading this thread!!

The funniest thing I ever heard was leaving Epcot one day, and lady behind me telling her husband, "I'm glad we're done here...they didn't have anything good to eat!"

While watching the Share A Dream Come True parade on Sunday, the little girl next to me had her face painted like a tiger, and when Tigger came walking down the street she SCREAMED "TIGGGGGGGGGGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT MY FACE!!!!" And he waved and gave her a thumbs up. So cute!

[Wile E coyote]

My daughter, 6 at the time, cursed for the first time. Or at least the first time I heard it. But when the ship takes off, and you feel the sensation of movement, my daughter said "oohh sh**" I just looked at her and tried to hold back laughing.

[challada]

Last week on our first day in the park, we saw a family standing off to the side of a ride entrance...I'm not sure what the discussion had been before we got there, but all we heard was the child (maybe 7 or 8 years old) scream:

"Well, it's YOUR fault for making me come here!"

:rotfl2:

All week long after that, if any of us got frustrated, we just turned to the others and said "well, it's YOUR fault for making me come here!"


Our other favorite last week was the photographer in AK who set up every picture with "OK, now 1, now 2, ahhhhh" then took the shot (we did about 6 photopass pics w/him).
Every picture we took afterwards, the teen in our group would say "OK, now 1,now 2, ahhhhhhhhh".

Whoops...that might've been me :blush:

[dwaters]

I registered today and this is my first post here.
I read this whole thread the week before I left for our trip two weeks ago and I kept an ear out for things while there.
Thanks everyone for the great hilarious stories.
Despite going to Disney several times, I'd never heard of a Dole Whip before reading this board and tried one (with a Vanilla Twist). Very yummy.

People are constantly saying funny/crazy things in the parks if you just keep and ear out. I've learned that nobody (even my family) can talk about getting a Fastpass for Test Track without somehow messing it up. :)

A teenager in Fantasyland looking a the rows of parked strollers:
"How come all these people rent strollers just so they can park them?"
(uh, 'cause you can't bring the stroller onto the rides/theaters...?)

In Downtown Disney a woman looking at Jack Skellington merchandise, "Hey look, it's the guy from the Nightmare before Elm Street!" (to her credit, she realized her goof and laughed about it)

My two-year-old daughter was overheard calling Stitch "Monster Bear". As in "no Monter Bear!". She's not quite ready to meet characters yet.

Very commonly heard while entering an attraction "Is this a ride?".
I guess teenagers and kids have a little more of an excuse, but if people would simply look at the free map available to everyone upon entrance, they'd know what was what.

Disney is an amazing place. It's so universal. (no pun intended). People from across the nation and other countries can read stories on here and when someone talks about something that happened on the benches between Tomorrowland and Mickey's Toontown Fair, everyone can picture exactly where that is. We've all been there, just not at the exact same time (thankfully :))

Keep the stories coming.

[Jennifer48]

I was at DTD on Wednesday in the World of Disney store. This little girl couldn't have been more than 4 years old was trying to escape her mother's clutching hand. So she says "mom, I want to steal something." I couldn't help but laugh because the girl was so cute. I didn't see her take anything but I didn't follow her around the store either.

[dbenlee]

I have heard many many comments over the years. One of my favorites is when my dad and I were waiting for my mom and sister to come back from the bathroom. This dad and his son were were arguing about something and then the dad said to his son "were going to walk over that trash can and you are going to throw that attitude away." He actually made the kid walk over there and pretend to throw something away. Now everytime my sister has an attitude my mom makes her go throw it away .

Also I have heard many parents complaning how they didn't spend all this money to just come swim in the pool.

[disneyfav4ever]

I was waiting in a line for the bathroom, and overheard this, as did everyone else in the bathroom.

A girl, maybe about five, was taking a looong time, like five minutes in a stall.

Mother - What are you doing? Taking a bath?
Daughter - No (Pause) If I was taking a bath, I'd be naked.

Everyone in line cracked up. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[kimberlym4]

I remember a funny line from when I was younger and went with my family. One late night, after a long, hot day at MK (my Dad definitely believed in commando style!) we were on the tram back to the car. My little sister (about 5 at the time) looked up at my mom and said "how come no one is smiling?"

Not always the happiest place on earth at the end of the day is it? :goodvibes

He actually made the kid walk over there and pretend to throw something away. Now everytime my sister has an attitude my mom makes her go throw it away .

Also I have heard many parents complaning how they didn't spend all this money to just come swim in the pool.

:rotfl2: I have to remember that with DD next week! She will actually go to a drawer and put on 'listening ears' when she is having a hard time paying attention to me, so I am sure she would put her bad attitude in the trash if I told her to!

On the Magical Express bus there was a woman who said Disney was having their 150th anniversary and her travel partner said that her boyfriend was taking her to the California Cafe. It was hard not to laugh sitting behind them but I have to realize not everyone have been there as many times or is a fanatical as I am about disney!

:lmao: that is great! I can't wait to try it with my DDs!

[AnaheimGirl]

This is another one not heard at Disney, but about Disney... On the TV show "Street Smarts" (a game show where the host finds people on the street and asks them questions to which they often have really dumb answers), the question is asked "What's the name of the main road that takes you into the Magic Kingdom?" (or something like that -- it was obvious the answer was Main Street).

This woman thinks a minute and answers "Apricot Center. You know, there's that big apricot there."

:lmao: :lmao: And you thought "the big golf ball" was bad.

My nephew said this one, when he was just over 2. My nephew had a small blanket that is some kind of person. Meaning the blanket has 3 knots tied into it to form the head and 2 arms. He also had the nasty habit of sucking on those knots to the point where they were wet. Because of this we called his blanket the "skanky blanky". We were walking through AK in 2003 and were looking for his skanky blanky as he was going down for a nap in the stroller. My sister-in-law calls out, "Has anyone seen Connor's skanky blanky?" I was bringing up the rear in our grand gathering and could hold in my laughter when I saw the families' reactions that heard this as we were passing by.

I could see the gears grinding in their brains and a look of disgust on their faces. It was priceless!

A couple of weeks ago while my husband and I were walking out of the Mexican pavillion at Epcot we heard a father tell his daughter who was about 12 years old, "Now you can tell everyone mommy got drunk in Mexico!" It was more shocking than funny at the time...

[1stluvispooh]

Ok so I didn't actually overhear this one my friend did and thought it was so fuinny. She shares this one on a regular bases. Will waiting in line a mother turned to her whinny kids and said "Don't make me take my shoe off again!" It was the again part that DF thought was so funny :rotfl2:

Last weekend we were walking past the Leave a Legacy wall. A boy about 8 or 9, looked up at his mom and exclaimed, "Are all these people dead!?"


I'm not surprised! This area looks like a graveyard to me, too. I HATE it.

Okay not at Disney but this board related.

Shortly after booking our upcoming trip I was spending lunch hours :rolleyes1 here on the boards getting caught up.

So for a few days I was coming home and at dinner sharing my findings with DW and DD9.

On about the third day I said oh on the boards today i found out...

Interrupting me DD says "Do you do any work? " :lmao:

[KimR]

Said by a Dad to his two small children (around ages 6 and 8) as they were leaving the Germany pavillion, each holding what looked to be a glass of white wine: 'Now that's it! You kids are cut off from the wine!'

[Simba22]

My favorite funny/shocking moment happened last year - my boyfriend and I were in line to meet Aladdin & Jasmine. We were the last people in line and then the CM there closed the line and said they would re-open the line at 7:45pm (here it was, 7:15pm) This girl comes up behind us and the CM tells her that the line is closed but said the girl could wait until 7:45 or come back at that time. The girl (and when i say girl, she was probably in her mid- to -late teens, but she was there with what I assume was a younger sister) starts yelling and ranting about how they've waited all day to see them, and they can't just leave, they HAVE TO take pictures and sign autographs. The CM said (and SOOOO sweetley, i would have smacked this chick) well, they need to take a break just like anyone else, they've been out here for 2 hours. The girl goes "so get another Aladdin and Jasmine out here then! The CM goes "Uhh....there's only one Aladdin and Jasmine! Well the girl sat down and sulked and me & my boyfriend went up and had pictures taken. Jasmine says to me "what's going on out there?" I told her that the girl was complaining and told the CM that they weren't allowed to take a break. Then, totally out of character (which is VERY unlike them, but she must have been really upset/uncomfortable) Jasmine says, "Man, I have to go to the bathroom SO BAD!"

[Golliwobbler]

One late night, after a long, hot day at MK (my Dad definitely believed in commando style!) we were on the tram back to the car.

OK...this is the funniest thing I've read (not heard) on this thread...as "commando style" DEFINITELY means something else around here :blush: , and so I am wondering why Dad is going commando, and how it relates to the long hot day (commando would make it cooler...getting my drift yet?) :ssst: ...so I am thinking along these lines and just cannot sort it out?!? Then...oh, something else...I get it :idea:...like does WDW aggressively - attacks with vigor ::yes:: ...not what I am thinking :eek: ...THANK GOODNESS! The other "translation" just went too far too fast in the wrong direction. :scared: My faith in the world (or should I say World) is restored. :thumbsup2

But the first line of thought was pretty entertaining!! :rotfl2:

[Simba22]

. It still scares the heck out of me, but I still go on it.
I wouldn't go on TOT the first time I went to WDW either...of course the first time I went on it, I was petrified! Of course we bought the picture, and there is my brother and my boyfriend with their arms in the air, LAUGHING hysterically, and my sister and I are holding each other's arms screaming in horror! My boyfriend and I went back last year alone and I was determined to get a picture of us on the ride, where I didn't look like I needed to change my shorts. We did MGM twice that week and must have rode that elevator 10 times each day....I still didn't leave there with a TOT picture...I looked scared out of my ever-loving mind in every one of them!

[Forevryoung]

On my last day of my January trip I was in front of the Haunted Mansion and a girl about 10, looks at the Haunted Mansion then looks toward Fantasyland, stamps her feet and declares "I am NOT going on any ride that is not in Fantasyland." :rotfl2:

Her mother walks over to a Haunted Mansion CM with the daughter and wants the CM to tell her daughter that it's not scary. Well the CM remains in character and says "my home is not a scary place" or something like that :lmao:.

The mother was a little peeved.

From our trip last Sept - DS12 (who has Down Syndrome, so isn't always on par with his chronological age), gets great joy out of trying to get his dad and I in trouble with each other.

Power Rangers are something he loves, but are forbidden in our house - too much trouble at school when he pretends they are all with him - like he won't board the school bus until all of the imaginary rangers do.)

Anyway, I really wanted to see the parade at MGM and he didn't. So I told him he might see the Power Rangers to coax him. So we saw them in the parade. Then later, we were in the "wrong" spot at the wrong time and here they come for a meet a greet. What's a mother to do? I HAD to let him get pics and autographs! (And it was great to see him SO excited to meet his idols!)

Anyway, to this day, he tries to tell DH that I should be in trouble because I "made" him see the Power Rangers.

[dwaters]

A waiter at the Whispering Canyon Cafe was heard referring to the Grand Floridian as "The Red Roof Inn" --which I found really funny.

When "Universe of Energy" in Epcot had to shut down due to problems during the Final Jeopardy part, my wife yelled out - "I guess they ran out of energy!".

Upon returning home, I've been talking with my son (6) about his favorite parts of Disney. He talked about seeing a fire truck. This had me confused. Did he see one on Main Street?
He said, "That character that snuck up on us".
Turns out fire truck was actually "Friar Tuck". :lmao:

[mathgeek]

I don't think I already posted this, so I apologize if it's a repeat.

This past summer DH and I were riding the bus from BB back to the resort and passed MGM along the way. Two ladies across from us were looking out the window and one of them pointed and said "Oh, look at that nice hotel. We should stay there next time!" Of course she was pointing at the TOT Hollywood Hotel.

Well, I'll stay there too if I can stay in the parks all night!

[Scoobmuzic]

My Hubby and I just got back from a trip to DL and I kept my ears open for anything I could post here.

The funniest I heard was when we were in Calif Adv and a man was talking to a CM and to someone in his party on his cell.

He says on the cell "I'll meet you there" he turns to the CM and says "how do I get to City Hall?" The CM replies "You need to go over to the Magic Kingdom" The dad says "well, then where am I?" :rotfl2: :rotfl:

[MightyAphrodite]

One of the funniest comments I overheard happened at WTP awhile back, where an extremely persistent little girl was desperately trying to get her mother's attention: "Mommy! Mommy, LOOK! It's -- it's -- IT'S THE MAD HAT HAIR!!!" Everyone within earshot errupted in fits of giggle-snorts. Of course, "hatter" is a pretty foreign word to any child who hasn't seen the movie. :cutie:

Oh my gosh - you just made me laugh... I haven't logged on in a while to check on this thread (finals week and then grades were due)... but I read your response today. I had to laugh for a couple of reasons. First, I do know what YOU mean by commando style. Before I was Dis-ified and Tour Guide Mike - ified that's what I thought it meant too! Then I was brain washed by the Disney crazies here and now I it has a whole different connotation :rotfl2:
Second, my Dad died about 4 years ago... However, he always thought of himself as quite the "lady's man" and would get the biggest kick out of all of the women on this board thinking of him going "commando style". :cool1:

You made me smile.. and this whole board makes me think of him since he worked so hard at making our vacations great. Thanks.

[Mom to Will and Finn]

My DS11 now, 3 at the time, was on the monorail with my father from the Polynesian to MK. They were seated next to a couple of elderly ladies that started chatting with my son. They said "What is your name young man?" to which my son replied "Taywor". His name is Taylor, but he had a hard time with his L's so it came out as a W. They said "Excuse me, I didn't understand you". So he repeated himself, to which they still did not understand. My son looks at my father as if to say go along with me on this one and replies to them "My name is Bob." :rotfl2:

LOL to this day we call him TayBob.

LOL What a smartie pants! :rotfl:

That reminds me of when my Will was about 4. Our washing machine broke and we were at the laundromat. There was another little boy there about the same age and his name was Anthony. For some reason Will was having a hard time saying Anthony and he'd say, "Ant...Anth...Ant...", stumbling over it each time. Finally he looked at him and said, "Can I call you something else...like...David?"

[LisaBi]

I heard two on the way yesterday.

1) As we were coming into the airport, from the seats across the aisle - "Look - you can see the ocean."

2) In the airport, waiting for the tram to the main terminal, a lady asked "do they have any transportation to the resorts from here or do I have to get a rental car?"

That's how I've always used the word commando. When I first read that people at WDW were going commando in the parks, I almost fell over and thought, what in the world? :rotfl: :lmao: Then I realized what it meant.
Do you do the parks commando style??...jeez people put on some underwear! :rotfl2:
I know it's immature but I laugh so hard when people say doing the parks commando style. :lmao:

[Mom2Rae]

I was there during Jersey Week a couple of years ago and I was in the World of Disney looking at the snow globes.

Here comes a Jersey family (very heavy accent) and the wife goes "Honey, look at the adorable Sponge Bob snow globe" and the husband replies, "That's not Sponge Bob you idiot, that's from A Shark Tale"!! :lmao:

We all know which snow globe they were referring to, right?

[Hedy]

Not as good as some, but while waiting for Turtle Talk (I was in the front of the line) I was sitting down. I had my palm pilot with me (for ADRs), and I was playing games (I have a game card). All of a sudden, I hear this girl (about 5 yrs old) go "Mommy, I want one of those!" indicating my palm pilot.

My DS11 now, 3 at the time, was on the monorail with my father from the Polynesian to MK. They were seated next to a couple of elderly ladies that started chatting with my son.

My son looks at my father as if to say go along with me on this one and replies to them "My name is Bob."

I wish I had thought to teach my son that when he was little. His name is Sam and he had trouble with L's and S's and R's. Our last name was a challenge not to mention the Sam part. He finally got to where when someone asked his name he would just look at me as if to say, Will you just tell them my name? Of course, there was the time when he was 3 and he changed his name to Eric. He didn't tell me though until we were leaving the indoor playground where the attendants ask the children their names so they match up with the parents taking them away. When he said his name was Eric I nearly died thinking they are going to arrest me and not let me leave with him. But then I figured after about 30 minutes they would figure he was too much trouble and give him back.

[j-ariel]

:lmao: :wizard: 1. When I was 8 years old, A woman from england asked my father in line "what tis a brownie" of course being 8 and silly, I burst out laughing, pointing at the lady saying, Hey, she doesnt know what a brownie is. It was even funnier hearing my father try to explain it. My aunt still teases me about that, and that was 1978

[sameyeyam]

During Spring Break at Epcot my son was playing in the fountain, absolutely soaked. But hey, it was 89 degrees, he was having fun and would probably dry out in about 10 minutes, and what the heck, we are on vacation having fun and doing what we want.

A lady with a lovely British accent let her son play in the edge of the water for about 2 minutes. When he started to get more than the bottom of his legs wet she grabbed him out and said "That Water is Entirely Too Wet"! She then proceeded to pull him away and muttered "What is that boy's Momma Thinking?!"

Guess we just picked the fountain that had water that was entirely too wet! Next time we'll pick the fountain with drier water to play in!

[sameyeyam]

Funniest Thing I Overheard MYSELF Saying at WDW! :rotfl2:

About Day 7 at WDW, entirely too tired. Woke up before the wakeup call and was sitting on bed watching tv, half awake. The wakeup call came in, knowing the morning before it was Stitch's annoying voice, I just quickly picked up the phone and set it down to hang up. Turned off the tv and went into the bathroom.

I came out a couple of minutes later and could hear a cartoon character voice talking, but couldn't quite make out what it was saying. Remember, I'm still half asleep! I thought well maybe I didn't stay on the phone long enough, the wakeup call called back, and now it's on a speaker phone??! Headed toward the phone, but no the sound wasn't coming from the phone, it was coming from the corner of the room, somewhere near the air-conditioning duct.

I actually said "oh my gosh, they have a speaker hidden in the a/c duct and it's telling you to wake up". I was pretty freaked out at that point and was wondering "can they hear us too??".

As I walked closer, I then realized it was the cell phone laying on the table that my Florida sister loaned us for the trip (so we wouldn't have LD charges on our cell phones)! It had a character voice instead of a ring, telling me "pick up the phone stupid"! Of course it was her calling to ask what time she should meet us at AK!

I was laughing so hard it woke all the kids up!

[jjatwdw]

I grew up about 30 minutes from DL, so we used to go several times a year. Once, in the early 70's, we were leaving the park at night, and as we were getting off the parking lot tram this family goes up to the tram driver and asks him if he could tell them where they parked their car. There must have been 30,000 cars in the lot.

[MyGoofy26]

I can't remember if I posted this one yet. . . I know I've posted it elsewhere.

A few years ago I did the college program. This was back when they still had the Mulan parade at MGM. I was leaving in the afternoon after my shift and had to walk past where they line up the floats. Most of them had already gone but the last few were still waiting on their cues. As I'm walking past the final float I can see the handlers that guide the horses to the gate laughing hysterically and Mulan is pounding her fist and yelling down, "I demand a straight Shang! It's in my contract!"

One day I was working Indy outpost and it was a VERY slow day and a few face characters wandered our way and were hanging out in the store just BSing with us since apparently there weren't a lot of guests lining up (or they just didn't feel like dealing with them LOL) So "Shang" and "Aladdin" are standing by the counter with the 3 of us working and "Clopin" is wandering around the store, still a part of the conversation but checking things out. Out of nowhere we hear him yell, "Aladdin!! I found Carpet!" and comes running holding up a small rug from the display of rugs rolled up for sale.

This reminds me of something my DD did last summer at VBS (not at all Disney related, unless you really stretch and count the Star Wars reference, but still funny!)...

As the children entered VBS the first day, parents checked them in at one spot and then they were escorted to their group leader by teen volunteers. I gave DD's name to the check-in helper and the teen, and watched as she was taken to join the correct group. I noticed that the kids were each being given nametags on colored bandanas, but DD was up near the front so I couldn't see her get hers.

There was a small opening prayer and some songs, and most of us parents sat and watched from the back pews. As the children left I noticed that DD wasn't wearing a bandana or nametag, so I asker her group leader why she didn't have one. The volunteer must have forgotten to give the leader her name, though, as the leader replied, "You must have just signed up, I don't have a nametag for a Leah." (DD's name is NOT Leah!)

I almost died laughing - I had COMPLETELY forgotten that she had been playing Star Wars with my DS (her older brother) for months and insisted on being called Princess Leia - and every time anyone asked her name that's exactly what she told them!!

THANKS for all the great stories...I just joined the Disboards and I'm having so much fun reading all of these!!

[Luv2Roam]

I don't know if I posted this one already. Forgive me if I have. It strikes us as funny.

DH was on a MK tram one day, going from the car to the TTC. There were two CMs on the back. One was obviously earning his ears.

Most of us are familiar with the "Driver Clear" verbal signal. (honk, honk)
The new CM said "Drive Safe!"
The tram did not move.
The CM had to say the correct magic words first! :rotfl2:

[mousenuttjr]

I was at Animal Kingdom and my family was at the Meerkat exhibit and right after the 'Meerkat Keeper' (the person that explains what they are..it's just what my family call them) this man said to his children, "Kids, look at the Prarie Dogs!!"
I don't know if someone already said that, I just find it soo funny!

[Dis-Wiz]

What I heard one time at the GF is more annoying than funny.

It was about three years ago and my sister, my dad, and I were going down the slide at one of the pools at the GF and this kid who was in front of us (seemed to be about 14 yo) asked the lifeguard if he could slide down head first. The lifeguard in return said, "no, that would't be right." Then it started!! The kid then said, "it ain't right, but it ain't wrong, but it just ain't right." Then, every stinkin' time we went up there the kid was always in front of us and two (the kid and the lifeguard) would recite this little phrase before he went down the slide. We went up about three or four times before we started to get annoyed and stopped going down the slide, :rotfl: . Now, we often bring that phrase up after someone askes if something is right. We all have a good laugh about it.

Us laughing at this unexpecting kid, it ain't right, but it ain't wrong, but it just ain't right....... :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2:

Just the other day at AK, we overheard someone telling their group that they'd meet them later as they wanted to go ride "Avalanche Explosion" again. It took me a second to figure out they meant Expedition Everest - lol! The rest of the trip we called EE Avalanche Explosion.

[wallyb]

These were so funny guys! :rotfl2:

Thanks so much for all the laughs :thumbsup2

I could have done with out all the nitpicking :rolleyes:
about people calling things by the wrong name.

Let's cut the guys who aren’t total :earboy2: WDW geeks :earboy2:
some slack.

[dwaters]

But isn't the nitpicking part of the fun?
This is one of the few places WDW geeks are allowed to be WDW geeks.

The calling things the wrong names isn't half as funny as being able to relate to the other posters who are overhearing these things.
"You mean everyone doesn't know the big golf ball is called Spaceship Earth? How dare they not know?" :)
I see it more as laughing at ourselves for being such nerds about the parks that we love.

[DisneyKidds]

I suppose the subject matter of the conversation might not have been funny (heck, it might have even ended up that way), but I got a kick years ago out of listening to this rather interesting fellow explain to a poor trapped Brit on the Splash Mountain line how the course of world events would have been completely different had the Confederate Army won the Civil War. This poor tourist from abroad couldn't get away from a conversation he showed little interest in.

I don't think people are nitpicking, because perhaps they overheard someone calling it Avalanch Explosion, thought it was cute, decided to call it Avalanch Explosion as well, and now WDWguru overheard them, thinks it's cute and is now calling it Avalanch Explosion. Perhaps by the time I get there (in 2 days, by the way :banana: ) that will be it's unofficial name, and I'll be calling it Avalanch Explosion. :cheer2: :yay: :bounce:

During our last trip, we had just boarded the IASW boat when a very large, overweight woman tried to get on. The CMs wouldn't let her on saying that she was clearly over the weight limit (how they could tell that??? it's not like they had a scale there). Anyways, she was obviously quite upset and started pointing out other people either on boats or in line that she thought were too fat too, saying they should either get off their boat or also not be allowed to ride. It quickly turned into a bunch of people yelling at each other about how fat they were. Not quite in the spirit of the ride, but it was pretty funny.

[Emmo]

A few years back when my Husband and I are in Tattoine Traders there is a small boy and his dad looking at the Star Wars action figures and the Dad asks what one the son wants and he says "Luke Skyscraper", as everyone laughed the little boy didn't have a clue what he had done!

Another time in EPCOT there were two roughly 60 yo ladies in the bathroom discussing what EPCOT stands for and as they said the words together on finished correctly the other one said "...Community Of Life" and when her friend corrected her that the final word was "Tomorrow" she said "Is it not Life", So my Husband and I often call it EPCOL, LOL :rotfl2:

The last one was a Mother announcing, really loudly, to the rest of her group and the rest of the park that her young child "has gotta go potty" like it was something we all wanted to know and should help her with.

I'm not nit-picking (well ok I am) but it annoys me when people call fastpass, 'fast-track' It is clearly written above fastpass kiosk and on the pass itself as well as everywhere in the map.

We were on a Disney bus on our way to MGM and a woman was telling her child to "behave, we're nearly there, Don't you wanna see Jimmy Neutron?" Maybe he did but she was heading to the wrong place and was gonna end up with one angry little man on her hands. :lmao:

[WDWguru]

I don't think people are nitpicking, because perhaps they overheard someone calling it Avalanch Explosion, thought it was cute, decided to call it Avalanch Explosion as well, and now WDWguru overheard them, thinks it's cute and is now calling it Avalanch Explosion. Perhaps by the time I get there (in 2 days, by the way :banana: ) that will be it's unofficial name, and I'll be calling it Avalanch Explosion. :cheer2: :yay: :bounce:

I'm all for that - okay, the official unofficial name of EE is now Avalanche Explosion. Done.

And to reiterate, I think that's exactly the case. In this instance, it was WAY off and quite obvious. It was cute and really funny because we just couldn't fathom where they'd gotten that name from! In some cases, like Fast Track for Test Track, I agree it's just being nitpicky, but most of the time it's just kinda cute.

I agree. Of course, in my family we always refer to Spaceship Earth as Spaceship Beth, because that's what my DD called it when she was 2 (Beth is my name). 16 years later we're still calling it that, and if any of you happen to overhear us saying it, you have my official permission to laugh at us behind our back and tell the story in this thread! :thumbsup2

please forgive me if this sounds "irreverant".... dh and i were staying at the dolphin during a morris cerulo conference it was being televised on the Dolphin tv channel, well he started speaking in tongues and went blah blah blah blah last word... honda! so we started laughing and all troughout our trip we "spoke in tongues" and ended with a different car such as toyota or ford It just stuck us funny! hope i didn't offend anyone!

Reminds me of being in Italy - one night we were dead tired, in the hotel room, flippng through the TV stations (had been staying with my cousin so we had "military cable" most of the time, this was our first experience with Italian TV) and The Flintstones were on, the live action movie. . . my aunt and I were slap happy about peeing out pants laughing. The next year we were there again and had spent a long weekend in Rome on our own. We woke up one morning and had a flashback . . . except it was Bear in the Big Blue House. It normally takes me about a half an hour to start to get functional. . . nothing wakes you up like the Italian theme to Bear. To this day I'll randomly sing, "Dove, Dove, Dove l'ombra. . " (where oh where oh where is shadow) or something close to that, LOL. . .

[TIGGERGUY]

This actually happened in at Universal's Islands of Adventure, but it is too good not to tell. We were in the Jurassic Park section where one of the staff was operating a lifelike small dinosaur puppet. A woman behind me actually asked "is that a real dinosaur?" At least to her credit she then promptly realized what a silly statement it was and turned five shades of red.

[MinMouse]

We still say it to this day and just laugh, laugh, laugh. Actually it's kind of sad. On our honeymoon (almost 15 years ago) we saw two children at the Contemporary pool with their nanny. They were getting kind of cranky so Mom came down and told them "You're ruining our vacation!" It was mid day and apparent that these kids had been going at it all day. I can now relate to how Mom felt but try to keep a better perspective!!!

[WickedWench]

Just the other day at AK, we overheard someone telling their group that they'd meet them later as they wanted to go ride "Avalanche Explosion" again. It took me a second to figure out they meant Expedition Everest - lol! The rest of the trip we called EE Avalanche Explosion.

From what I read on this board, this sounds pretty common.. you hear someone use a goofy name for something, so you start using it as a joke. It makes me wonder.. does someone else hear YOU saying it, then starts using it to make fun of you, and so on, and so on. It's a vicious circle!! It's like the wrong names are contagious! :lmao: Maybe eventually, someone will overhear the silly name, and believe that's what it's really called.

[Threeriversdisneyfan]

Was waiting at the boiler room to board the elevator, when a mid-20's somethings British Woman was just gabbing away and away (you get the picture) totally engrossed in her monolgue, when the CM (you know the scary looking bellboy) walks up behind her and start to mock her talking (the facial expressions and head bobbing ) was spot on (to steal British expression). Everyone but her is now biting their lips trying not to laugh and not stare at the CM behind her, but one the little kids points behind her and she stops talking. Just as she turns around to look, the CM puts his face right behind her ear. She turns right into his face and jumps a mile high. Letting out a scream that you would hear on the TOT drop, she said in her slightly mad voice "That was not nice!". The CM not missing a beat said in that creepy low voice, "I never said I was nice."

[KimR]

Now that would truly be magical if the tram drivers could remember where we all parked our cars! :wizard:

Actually, as long as you remember what time you arrived they can tell you. We were leaving EPCOT one evening and had forgotten where we parked our car. A CM (can't remember if it was a tram driver or not though) asked us what time we arrived and was able to direct us to where we parked within a row or 2. Disney magic at it's best! :wizard:

[tiggerbell]

This happened last week:

Sitting in the 2nd to the last row of It’s a Small World, I can hear the running commentary of the woman behind me:

SCENERY: Red, white, and green striped poles into the water; doll in a red and white striped shirt standing on a GONDOLA with an oar in the water…

CONVERSATION: Oh, look! We’re in Spain! :confused3

I lean forward to tell my sister in front of me that the lady behind me thinks this is Spain, not Italy.

SCENERY: Tigers, flying carpets, TAJ MAHAL, dolls in veils, 6 armed woman’s silhouette.

CONVERSATION: Oh, look! We’re in Egypt! :rotfl:

I lean forward to tell my sister that the Taj Mahal is now located on another continent in a different country!

SCENERY: Grass skirts, volcanoes, leis.

CONVERSATION: Oh, Look! We’re in Hawaii!

I lean forward to say I can cut her some slack on this one, but Hawaii is NOT a COUNTRY! ;)

SCENERY: KANGAROO, KOALA BEARS, and an Aborigine.

CONVERSATION: [From the woman’s 10 or 12 year old daughter]: Mom, what country is he from?

WOMAN: He’s a native.

It’s all I can do to not turn around and ask “A native of WHERE??????????” We’re ALL natives!

I lean forward to ask my sister if blood is coming out of my ears yet. :furious:

We get near the end of the ride and the grandmother, who has said nothing up to this point, now announces that she knows why it’s called It’s a Small World: it’s because all the dolls are so short! :rotfl2:

Not Disney related but this reminds me of a televangilist we used to see when we lived in Dallas. Robert Tilton was his name. He used to "talk in tongues" all the time and it sounded just like he was saying "Somebody-tie-my-bowtie-and-steal-my-Honda".

[goodferry]

Last December we were leaving Magic Kingdom at the end of the day along with about a billion other people. We were staying at the Polynesian and decided to take the monorail because it was raining. There was a HUGE line for the monorail, but we were in no hurry. We waited as two resort monorails filled up with people and we were at the front of the line. So the monorail pulls up and we start walking to get on the car in front of us, me and three of the kids and DH with the baby and the stroller. This father who was visiting from another country steps in front of us and puts his arm out so we can't move and pushes his entire family of 12 onto the monorail car. The kids and I squeeze in too, but there is no way DH is fitting with the stroller and the rest of the monorail is full. So he yells out for me to just meet him back at the room he will wait for the next monorail.
So, this family begins to talk among themselves. Apparently they hadn't intended to get on the resort monorail, they wanted to get to the TTC where their vehicles were parked because they were staying offsite. Despite their rudeness I reassured the mother who was freaking out a little bit that they would indeed make it to the TTC, it just would take a little bit longer.
So we are circling the lagoon and the kids start asking "Daddy, why didn't we stay at one of these hotels?"
"Because the room we have is cheaper and we just need a place to sleep"
"But daddy, these hotels are beautiful and luxurious, wouldn't it have been fun to stay in one of these hotels." The one little boy looks at me and says "Are you staying in one of these hotels?"
"Yes, we are staying in the Polynesian Resort"
"Is it beautiful and clean"
"Yes, it is very pretty and clean"
"Look daddy, they have a clean hotel"
The pushy father is obviously embarassed, but he still doesn't say anything"
"Why daddy, why do we have to stay in the dirty hotel, it smells funny"
Still no answer from dad, but now mom decided to get involved in the conversation.
"Because your daddy was not interested in clean or pretty or luxurious, he just wanted a cheap room. It isn't his fault, he isn't a bad man, he just doesn't like to spend his money."
So the dad decides to speak up. "We stay where I say we stay and we are grateful to get to be here. I hope that when you children grow up you don't have such terrible children and such a disrespectful wife"
Now she's mad. "Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but the kids are right. We have plenty of money we could have stayed in a much nicer hotel, ours does smell funny. But it doesn't make you a bad man that you want to stay in an inexpensive hotel, but what you did back there where you pushed this family out of the way and now they have to be separate from their nice father who takes them on a nice vacation, that makes you a bad man."
When we got off at the Poly, she was still going on and on, hopefully they remembered to get off at the TTC!

That's almost as bad as MY aunt. She was talking too fast and mixed up Dopey and Grumpy. It came out Gropey and Dumpy. :rotfl2:

Two VERY different dwarves than Walt imagined. . . I think they starred in the Fantasyland Sexual Harrassment Training Video.

[poppinspal]

I'm sure if people are standing behind my family at WDW they hear some great things, we tend to say goofy things. (Although usually we mean to say it.) But here are a few stories from our last trip.

We had an early flight from Boston to Orlando. I tend not to be able to sleep on the plane and by the time we landed I was so excited I was silly. (At times I'm like a five year old not a 24 year old.) My brother and I both watched Real World Austin because we found that the drunker those kids got the funnier they were. We even got to the point where we'd use some of the lines at home. Well he and I are walking in the airport and I whipser "Hey that kid kind of looks like..." then I realize it's Wes and Johanna(two of the people from RW Austin.) Well I proceed in my silly state to yell "IT'S WES AND JOHANNA!" Everyone turned and instead of looking at them they first looked at me. We laughed about it the whole trip and they still tease me for screaming about it in the airport.

We were there for New Years and the busy week before that. We went to the EMH at MK one night. My bro wasn't feeling well so my dad went with him to watch football in the hotel room. Well my mom, sister and I decide we're going to stay as late as we can(I think it was open till 3 that night) and do things that the party pooper guys wouldn't do. So we're being all around silly and board the empty Jungle Cruise. My mom is talking with the CM driving the boat as more and more people got on. My mom asks if she can drive the boat and the CM says sure. We get going and then the CM turns the boat over to my mom. We're chugging along and all of a sudden we're headed towards one of the elephants on the side of the ride. My mom turns to the CM and says "Am I really driving this thing?" I almost wet myself I was laughing so hard. She thought the ride was on a track! When we got off the CM yelled "Thanks for not crashing my boat!" For the rest of the trip we'd just say that and we'd all be laughing.

My last story is Disney related by not a WDW story. Last night my DBF and I are sitting around watching tv. An ad for Over the Hedge comes on. I don't know why but the scene they show with the porcupine kids driving the car just kills me. I'm laughing and I said to my bf that looks so cute we have to go see it. He said to me "I didn't think you were allowed to see that." I'm trying to think of why I couldn't. We've seen numerous cartoon/kids movies together so why would this be different. So I ask him why and his response is... "It's a DreamWorks movie and you're a Disney girl." For whatever reason that had me laughing.

[aterriq]

Goodferry,

Surprised you didn't tell the mom about the DIS. You could have really caused the sparks to fly if you had told them they could rent points. or a house for a better vacation than where they were.

:rotfl2: :banana: :rotfl2:

My DDs benefit from my DW and I having been in the army. We can get up early to go to the parks, and we want to stay in comfortable hotel rooms. We have uncomfortable too many times in the past.

[DisDon]

Can't wait to get back to WDW, so I can ride the Avalanche Explosion and the Tower of Pain!! and see my buds Poofy and Gluto, and Gropey and Dumpy!

Jungle Cruise is on a track. :)

[Teresa Pitman]

My family was walking along at MGM (I think) where they have the statues of brooms carrying buckets (filled with flowers) - as in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. My daughter-in-law looked at them and said "Oh, that's from Beauty and the Beast." My son completely cracked up and said "Yes, you remember that part in Beauty and the Beast with Mickey Mouse and the Sorcerer..." Then she was embarrassed, but we all kept laughing about it.

Anyway, that became kind of an in-joke with us for the rest of the trip - like on the Great Movie Ride, somebody in our group asked what movie the western scene was supposed to be from, and of course we all pipe up "Oh, that's from Beauty and the Beast." Then we'd all fall over laughing. I'm sure the people around us thought we were nuts.

[Mister Incredible]

The funniest line I heard from a cast member was in the great movie ride. It's the cowboy scene:

Cast Member: "Anyone know what kind of horse that is?"

Riders: shouting out all types of horses

Cast Member: "You're all wrong....it's a fake one!" :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Haven't heard any other CM use that line since.

[Minniespal]

We will just walk from our Hotel, off site, to the Magic Kingdom.

I'm not nit-picking (well ok I am) but it annoys me when people call fastpass, 'fast-track' It is clearly written above fastpass kiosk and on the pass itself as well as everywhere in the map.

When we were at Epcot, I heard a woman tell her husband they were going to ride Fast Track. I started to ask her if they had a test pass for it. :lmao:

[poppinspal]

Jungle Cruise is on a track. :)

Well that makes it that much funnier because now I look like an idiot. :)

[Sinclare]

Oh, you have no idea. My grandparents do this AND call fast pass fast track. It gets horribly confusing when you're trying to figure out exactly which fast track they are referring to at any given time.

[Binkrin]

Isn't the toll thingy in New England the Fast Track?
I could be totally off here... :lmao:

[mickeysgal]

The funniest thing I have ever heard came from my own mother. It was our first trip to the world and we were staying at the Poly we were getting on the elevator and my mother say's " Oh its to bad that the happy people must have checked out" What? " Yes the happy people that sing every in there room every morning" when we relized what she was talking about we almost wet ourselves. Near the elevators are speakers that play poly music this morning they were off. She really thought the music she was hearing was a family singing in there rooms before heading off to the parks :laughing: to this day we still ask her about the happy people

:rotfl: :rotfl: This is priceless. :rotfl: :rotfl:

[jann1033]

Well that makes it that much funnier because now I look like an idiot. :)
don't you just hate it when that happens ?:teeth:

and the donald ride....????????????????????????????????????????? :rotfl:

[slk537]

My DH said the funniest thing this afternoon at Epcot...we were standing outside Minnie's butterfly garden chatting with some lovely people from our resort and he came up to me, astonished expression on his face and said, "this girl just poked me in the butt!" The man we were with confirmed it, laughing. "Yes, she just walked up and poked him. And it was unprovoked!"

DH has a pretty cute behind, but I never knew it was attractive to eight year olds... :rotfl:

[slk537]

While riding Spaceship Earth for the first time ever, my dd who is 4, smelled Rome burning and while licking her lips said, "Mmmmm, I smell meat!".:lmao:

My DS yelped out, when we passed the Phonecians (sp??) "Mommy! It's Jesus!!"

[KEH]

On our second visit to WDW our DD was 10 and our 2 DS's almost 8. We were staying at the Dixie Landings (as it then was) and one day in the foodcourt I was trying to juggle trays, find my money and keep track of the kids, all the while being bombarded with "When can we go on the Tower of Terror again" from the boys. Eventually I said "I'll be the Mummy of Terror in a minute if you don't let me think". We paid for our food and carried on.

A few days later, we were in the foodcourt again and the same CM was on the cash desk. In ringing tones he cried out "Hey, I remember you. You're the Mom of Terror, right?" I'm sure everyone must have thought I was some sort of child beating monster!

[kstinw19]

As a former CM, I have pretty much heard it all. One of the ones we got all the time, standing in front of BTMR, is..."is this a ride?"

But as a former Pluto, the most annoying thing to me was being called Goofy. They are both dogs but they are NOTHING ALIKE!! :furious: It drove me nuts and sometimes if someone called me that, I would sign their books, "Love, Goofy." They were perfectly happy with that since they thought I was Goofy in the first place!

And there are so many others...being White Rabbit and called the Easter Bunny..I was swarmed on Easter day ;)

[°O°Joe]

While at the Magic Kingdom in Fantasyland over the weekend - a very angry looking woman pushing a stroller storms up to another woman with a stroller (must have been someone she knew) and blurted out "I don't know about you, but I ain't seen one da_n princess walking around this place!!"

I had to laugh...

[5 Disney Fans]

We were waiting for a bus outside POFQ and when the bus arrived we had to wait to board while they loaded a gentleman in an electic scooter. It took several tries to get this man loaded properly and you could see he was a little embarrassed about holding everyone up. My kids were 4 and 2 at the time so patience was NOT in their vocabulary but they did "ok". We finally boarded the bus and walked towards the back and sat across from the man in the scooter. My DS -the two year old - kept staring and staring at this poor guy. I kept trying to distract him by talking about what we would do at MK etc.. but finally he just got up off the seat and walked over to the man (I was cringing!!) and he asked "are you a cowboy?" The man was wearing a straw hat to protect himself from the sun! The man was so nice and said "yes I am and this is my horse" (as he patted the scotter). My DS replied "can I pet it?" LOL. The man let him pet his scooter and then told him he better sit down so as to stay safe.

Another bus story from this past December. I was in Orlando on business and some work friends and I made a weekend of it in Disney. We were riding in the front of the bus on the way back to All Stars and while passing by the Contemporary the bus filled will a foul sewage smell. My friend very loudly said "gawd, what a horrible smell I wonder if the hotel is having sewage issues?" And then we hear a woman in the back of the bus scold her DH. "DAVE, you filled the whole bus! That isn't even human"! We looked back and his sholders were shaking from holding in the laughter. And we just busted out laughing. :rotfl2:

[PCFriar80]

Just had entered Epcot via the International Gateway and was approaching the top of the hill at the bridge to France and walkway to England when a woman heading down to the IG blurted out "What World is this?" .

[maslex]

Oh my goodness 5 Disney Fans, I'm in tears reading that bus story about the smell. I can just picture it too. How funny, yet embarassing.

[DisneyDotty]

Oh my goodness 5 Disney Fans, I'm in tears reading that bus story about the smell. I can just picture it too. How funny, yet embarassing.

To me that's more frightening than funny. Hits too close to home--could easily have been my DH, but he wouldn't have the dogs around on which to blame the smell! :crazy:

Good Afternoon from rainy Massachusetts!!!

The favorite "funny" comment that gets us every time in the lines for Splash Mountain and the Rali River Raft Ride......"Are we going to get wet on this ride??""" :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[Loves Disney]

I have heard so many comments like that in line for both those rides!! Very funny indeed.

I hear a lot of people referring to the Magic Kingdom as Walt Disney World. I heard people talking to each other saying things such as, "Tomorrow we will do MGM, then Animal Kingdom and I was thinking after that we could do Disney."

[2Princes2Princesses]

I have a couple from our most recent trip.

First was while walking through the FP queue to Kilamanjaro Safari's. The woman behind us was telling her friend not to worry, the ride was mild. HEr friend said, "But what if we get a crazy driver?" The woman replied, "Dear....they don't really drive those things!!" :rotfl:

Next was while DH, my sister and I were browsing in Villians In Vogue. THis one REALLY cracked us up because my 2-yr old DD was being a nut all week. THere was a man holding a little girl, probably between 1 and 2 yrs old. She was SCREECHING at the top of her lungs. The CM walked up to them and said "Now there, what is the problem?" Before she could answer, her Dad replied, "The problem is that she is EVIL!" :rotfl2:

And the last was my own mom. We did a FP for Buzz Lightyear...her first ever. She kept talking about how guilty she felt walking by everyone. Well, when the ride was over we were waiting for my DS outside while he looked at the pics and she had this little smile on her face. I asked what she was so happy about and she said "I felt like we cut everyone" I told her don't worry about it. She then laughed and said "I feel so dirty" Heehee

The rest of the trip EVERYTHING was Fastpass to her. She kept asking me if I had a Fastpass for dinner. :rotfl2: I was like mom.....ADR, not fastpass. She also kept calling Test Track fastpass. :rolleyes:

[dizmomof2]

This is one I read years ago on the rec.arts board. It still makes me laugh today.

Husband, wife and three young boys in Disney for the first time with kids. The wife and kids are lined up waiting for the parade to start. Dad need to go to the washroom. Mom, very excited to see the parade with her kids, starts to get worried dad will miss the parade. Mom waits what seems like forever (actually only 5 minutes or so) then decides she needs to do something or dad will miss all the excitment. Mom uses her two way radio to call dad.

Mom YELLING into the radio. "What are you doing in there! Are you almost done!"

Dad, in the bathroom stall with a women's voice echoing around the bathroom, turns off the radio and leaves the stall to find all of the men in the bathroom staring at him. :blush:

Dad returns to the family, says nothing, and takes away mom's two way radio for the rest of the trip. :furious:

:rotfl2:

If the mom or dad are on this board, thanks for the laughs! :teeth:

[daddyof2]

On our last trip to Disney we parked our silver minivan at the airport & flew down to Florida. When we got there we headed over to Hertz, where they gave us a small flaming red car. We loaded up the bags, installed our car seat & buckled in our 2 yr old. As we were driving out of the parking lot, our 2 yr old piped up from the back seat, "Dad, did you know this is not our car?" :rotfl2:


:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
thats something my little girl would say

[gw_lit]

I hear a lot of people referring to the Magic Kingdom as Walt Disney World. I heard people talking to each other saying things such as, "Tomorrow we will do MGM, then Animal Kingdom and I was thinking after that we could do Disney."

I have to defend myself on this one. The first several times I went to Disney World as a child, there only was the Magic Kingdom, therefore Magic Kingdom = Disney World. I still have to catch myself to make sure I say it correctly now.

That is so funny! :rotfl2: I think sometimes instead of the saying being "kids say the darndest things" it should be "PARENTS say the darndest things". :teeth:

Now that is one way Disney can get rid of having mulitple ADR's and making them 180 days in advance. Fastpass machines at each TS and you can not get one until the day you want to eat. :thumbsup2 :lmao:

2 Funniest Things That i have ever heard happened more or less the same time.

Son: Mommy why doesn't Mickey Love Minnie
Mother: Why do you say that Steven
Son: Well if Mickey loved Minnie wouldn't they have kids??


Everyone around us almost died laughing but it didn't compare to what we heard about 10 seconds later

Mother: Robert do you believe that Mickey doesn't love minnie
Son: No mom i know he loves her
Mommy: So then what would you say to that boy about what he said
Son: Oh that's easy
I'd say to him that the reason that they don't have kids is b/c mickey doesn't have a weewee.

Oh My GOSH every single adult around had to really try hard to keep it in
people had to leave to get a laugh out. It MUST have been the funniest thing that i have ever heard in my life

[Eeyore's Queen]

Sadly, this came from my own mother. About 3 years ago we went to breakfast at Cinderella's Castle the first full day we were there. Belle was the first princess to come to our table. She bent down to sign autographs and take pictures with my 3 kids and my mother asks her how she gets her hair so shiny. She actually wanted to know what kind of shampoo she used. I looked at her then looked at Belle and almost fell on the floor with laughter. Yes my mom didn't realize the characters wear wigs. But to her defense, she did only take us to Disney once when I was young. Just not the Disney freak that I am. So sad. :rotfl2:

[pampam]

This happened last week. We were at 1900 Park Fair, having dinner with Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, and perla and Susy Mouse. I'm one who likes to talk to the characters. There was a family sitting at the table beside me with a young girl who clearly was a fan of Cinderella. She had on her cinderella dress, and was so anxious to see Cinderella. When Susy visited our table, I asked her if she had helped make this little girls dress. it looked so much like Cinderella's. Of course she agreed that she had a hand in it's creation. Along came Perla. I told Perla that I had just been talking to Susy, and she said that her and Perla had helped make this little girls dress. She agreed, so I told her what a good job they had done, and how talented these mice hands are. She agreed, and away she went. Along came Cinderella. The little girl was right in her element. She hugged the princess, and Cinderella showed her how to pose for the pictures. It was lovely. After she left, the little girl was remarking that the side flounces on Cinderella's gown were big, and Mommy, could you make my flounces more puffy? As she was tugging at them, trying to make them puffier, the mother said "Why don't you ask the mice. They made the dress." :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[merri_weather]

This isn't an "overheard at Disney" story - but a funny and memorable one for my family nonetheless.

A few years ago, when my DD was 18 we visited some friends in Florida who happened to have an orange tree in their back yard. After we arrived, she and my friends kids were out in the back yard sunning by the pool, when DD came in and asked if she could have a piece of fruit. So of course, my friend tells her to just get an orange from the tree! Sooo... a few minutes go by, DD is *still* standing by the tree just looking at it. I go out and ask her "what's wrong?" She looks at me - completely puzzled - and says "How do I get the Orange out of the tree??" Did I mention that it was a DWARF ORANGE TREE?!!

Yep - she's blonde.

So now... anytime anyone does anything flighty or we see something silly we look at each other and ask... How do you get the orange out of the tree????

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[lbgraves]

OK, here is something that happened last night. DS7 is a history buff & has really be interested in it since we spent a week in DC last month. We were excited to watch the History channel's show on George Washington. After 30 minutes he asked if there was electricity yet and then realized that Ben Franklin was probably working on it around the same time. He then asked if they had invented batteries yet. I told him no. After an hour watching this he turned to me and asked...ok they didn't have electricity and they didn't have batteries so how did someone video everything? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[donnajon]

DD6 kept wanting to "ride the tramP" from the parking lot to the parks!

[teresajoy]

I will unapologetically call it Disney World for the rest of my life. I started calling it that in 1971, and I'm not about to stop now! :dance3:




I have heard so many comments like that in line for both those rides!! Very funny indeed.

I hear a lot of people referring to the Magic Kingdom as Walt Disney World. I heard people talking to each other saying things such as, "Tomorrow we will do MGM, then Animal Kingdom and I was thinking after that we could do Disney."

[snusnu]

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:

To bump and tell my own story:

DH and I were at DL with two other couples. Angie, one half of one of the other couples, can imitate any voice with hilarious accuracy. We were on PotC and we were in the tunnel right before the battle. It was considerably foggier than usual and we couldn't see a thing, only hear the soundtrack. Knowing the track as well as she does, she, at the perfect moment, said, "Perhaps ye smokes too much." We all were howling and now say that ever time we ride.

[STEAMBOAT209]

This one I have heard several times, and really get out of sorts when I hear it. We are in Epcot World Showcase, the family walking next to us begin to talk about going to Disney tomorrow, DW and I just look at each other.....

[Pitter]

While boarding the tram in the parking lot at MGM, a lady got on and asked the driver, does this go to Epcot? :rotfl:
As humurous as these stories are, you can't help but wonder why people don't read a little before going to disney to help them navigate and also to know what is available there so they make the most of their trip. :surfweb:

I totally agree. Any vacation requires at least a little reasearch, especially WDW.

[SandrA9810]

I was walking up the line and there was a family ahead of me. Well the little girl had to have her height checked, and she asks her dad "what's the stamp for?"
Dad - "That means you're not a shrimp anymore"
Girl - "YES!!!!!"

She seemed so excited over it, like that just made her day.

[debkorb1]

During our last trip, we had just boarded the IASW boat when a very large, overweight woman tried to get on. The CMs wouldn't let her on saying that she was clearly over the weight limit (how they could tell that??? it's not like they had a scale there). Anyways, she was obviously quite upset and started pointing out other people either on boats or in line that she thought were too fat too, saying they should either get off their boat or also not be allowed to ride. It quickly turned into a bunch of people yelling at each other about how fat they were. Not quite in the spirit of the ride, but it was pretty funny.

:rotfl2: Why don't I ever get to witness these wonderful, wonderful things?

[Lucille1963]

On our last trip to WDW DH and I were on the bus from the resort to MGM. We were seated near the back in seats that faced a senior couple from the east coast. As the trip progressed we had started chatting a bit so we were tuned into their conversation. As we approached the park and TOT came into view a few people on the bus got excited and the couple had the following conversation:

Wife: I don't know why I don't get that excited about things.

Husband (in a slightly surly tone): That's cause you're 100 years old. What are you? Some kind of idiot?

DH and I could barely contain our laughter. We ran off the bus to repeat the conversation to each other. To this day we occasionally answer each others questions with "That's cause you're 100 years old. What are you? Some kind of idiot?" :)

[sameyeyam]

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!!!

OK, here comes my confession. When I first heard about the Osborne Lights, I thought it must have something to do with Ozzie Osborne family. After all they have a tv show and the lights are in MGM Studios. Stupid of me I know to come to that conclusion, but it seemed reasonable.

I later did some research and found out all about them and the family that the court ordered to get rid of the lights. I am from the Pacific NW and have never in my life heard of these xmas lights, the Osborne family or anything about the controversy. I think that people living closer to the South know all about it, but for those of us living farther away we don't have a clue!

Luckily I didn't reveal my thoughts about the Ozzie Osborne lights to anyone other than the dark recesses of my mind! Well, until just now.

Son: Dad, look! Can we stop?
Man: No - keep moving. They are all fake anyway.



My friend, while walking up to the Safari Ride:

"Are we going to get a Transpass?"
(Transpass = turnpike passes in Maine at the time)

[QueenofMyCastle]

I have two funny comments I overheard, both concerning stressed out families...

We were on the bus to MGM and this whole family was bickering with each other. Apparently one of the kids had lost something expensive and they were all blaming each other and in a terrible mood. Finally the dad said (very sternly and loudly).... "Look, I paid $5,000 for this trip so you all just need to shut up and START HAVING FUN!!!

The other funny comment was when we were walking around World Showcase and we passed by this lady who was on her cell phone screaming "DON'T YOU TELL ME TO SHUT UP!!" It just seemed so out of place cause she was surrounded by all these happy families!

[ohboyx3]

The funniest thing I heard while waiting to enter the turnstiles at AK: "Now this is Adventureland little Jakey. We get to ride Jungle cruise here." It was all I could do to keep myself from saying: "hello????? You're in the WRONG park! LOL!

[LadyZolt]

Last week on the Jungle Cruise, the boats got backed up and CM started telling jokes. He asked, "Why does Ariel wear sea shells?" Well, the kids on the boat said, "Because she's a mermaid," but that wasn't the answer. The answer was: "Because 'B shells' were too small and 'D shells' were too big.
All the adults were laughing, but the kids just looked confused. :rotfl2:

-Dorothy (LadyZolt)

[KJHawley]

We just heard this one last week, as we were on our way out of one of the parks one night. A tired Mom turned to her son and said "No, son, there's not a Fastpass for the parking lot."

On our last trip, DS, four years old, said something that had DH and I spontaneously giggling for the rest of the day. When had just started walking around the World Showcase at Epcot when DS said he was thirsty. I asked him what he wanted, and he said "I think I'll take a Margarita." :scared1: :lmao:

(You think maybe mom is a little too addicted to those frozen concoctions? :blush: )

[PrinczJs_Mom]

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.

Oh my gosh!! This made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely hilarious! I would've paid to see that.

[dwheatl]

We were in DL and waiting in line for dinner when the little boy in front of me (about 7 y.o.) asked me if I had been on Splash Mountain. I said yes, and he asked about Thunder Mountain, Space Mountian, POTC, etc. I told him I had been on every ride at DL several times. He asked me if I thought they were scary, and I said no, just exciting. He said he felt the same way, just one ride was really scary there, and he would never go on it again. I asked him what it was, and he said, "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride; they make you go to the BAD PLACE!" (At the end of Mr. Toad, you go through "heck" with a huge dragon and many laughing demons). My kids were giggling when I told the boy, "Well, that's a good reminder to behave yourself, isn't it?" and he nodded, so wide-eyed and earnest. I think of that little guy every time I ride Mr. Toad (so sorry it's gone at MK).

[LaughinPlace289]

*I was actually at Disneyland when I heard this but it's still worth mentioning.

While on a bus back to the hotel after a long day at the parks, my mother was having a conversation with a woman from Canada. We were going down Harbor Blvd. past the California Adventure when the woman looked up at the Tower Of Terror and said "I'll bet that would be a neat hotel to stay in." We all thought she was joking at first and laughed. She then turned to her husband and said "We really should have checked that place out." This was when it became obvious that she actually thought that it was a hotel. I got a kick out of it.

[Mickey1122]

"WHAT!!! The CM told you the monorail doesn't go to Old Key West? RIDICULOUS!!"

[DisneyAuntieKSPA]

While walking through AK, a little girl was walking with her grandmother and mother when Meeko appeared from off stage, the little girl got all giggly and yelled, "I hope I see Pocohantas!!!", I got the whole warm and fuzzy disney magic feeling when the grandmother pipes in, "This Pocohantas is just make believe, Pocahantas died years ago"......I almost fell over!! :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: :confused3

[KinderTchr]

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.
On a childhood trip to WDW my tired and frustrated mom yelled to the rest of us, "This is a family vacation and you are going to have fun whether you like it or not." This was over 30 years ago and my sister and I still tease her about that one. It has become family lore and my kids often repeat that quote on long car trips in a joking manner.

[2Princes2Princesses]

Another from us in May....on our first day we went to CRT(my 2yr old LOVES Belle), rode rides at MK, headed over to Epcot for Illuminations.

So, the next morning we are headed to MGM for the day. On the bus heading over there, my sister has my DD2 on her lap and asks her...."Gainey, are you having fun at Disney World?"

My DD replied, "No! I haven't even met Mickey yet!" and rolled her eyes.

:rotfl2:

We went right back to Mickey AVe and met the mouse himself. My DS11 asked why we were going there first, and DH told him: "So your little sister can start having fun!" :laughing:

[kellypooh]

I have a couple of funnies

The first was not heard AT Disney but is Disney related and is too cute not to share: My 3 year old niece, Catie is fascinated by all things Pooh. She has all the movies, the books, the clothes....some days she says her name is Piglet and refuses to answer to her own name. Anyways, one day she and her Pooh toys were having an adventure. My sister asked her where this adventure was taking place and my little niece (all seriousness) replies, "in the Hundred Naked Woods". :rotfl:

The other was my DH on our trip to WDW in May 2005. We had just finished watching The American Adventure...or rather, I watched it and he dozed. After it ended, I was busy trying to wipe the inevitable tears out of my eyes and off my face without anyone seeing when my husband leaned down and whispered "that was fun, now let's go buy something in Japan"

[PrincessJasmine1972]

One of our favorites from one of the wonderful WDW tram announcers... "Lower your head and watch your step. If you don't lower your head, watch your language!"

"No, you can NOT have a light saber!"

(Star Tours Gift Shop, 21 SEP 05.)

That sounds like ME talking to DH(who is a huge Star Wars fan)

My sister and I were in line at the Tower of Terror a few years back. It had just rained so the line was actually foggy. There were a couple of teenagers in front of us. One kid said, "Man, I can't see Jack S%^T!" I tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around I said, "Hi, I'm Jack S%^t!" I thought my sister and his friends were going to pee their pants! :rotfl2:

Can't remember if I posted this one or not. . .

December '03 (me, aunt, cousin, cousin's hubby, and their ds and dd) we were leaving the CR for our first morning at Disney, headed to the MK (first for everyone but me and aunt) If anyone remembers the smell of the monorail, it's still there but not as strong as it was few years ago. . . well my cousin's dd who was 3 1/2 at the time steps into the monorail, scrunches her face up and pinches her nose shut and yells, "eeewww! Is that Magic Kingdom poop?!"

My DD6 just finished talking to the Evil Queen. She came up to me afterwards and said "I'm sooo embarrassed" I asked her why and she said " When the queen talked to me I answered "Yes Master"!!
That just shows that they really act their parts well. I felt like I should bow down to her too.

Not the funniest, but this is the most recent comment that made me giggle.

We were waiting in line at Kali River Rapids at the AK. We were in the section where it looks like a store, all sorts of merchandise is all around you, on the walls, etc. There is a sign to add to the theming and story that says "we ship worldwide" or something like that.

The lady in front of me looked at her group and exclaimed "oh wow, all this stuff is up for sale!"

[MyGoofy26]

The post by "apirateslifeforme" reminded me of this one. . . in December mom and I had come out of Pirates and she wanted to pick up a small Minnie pull for my aunt for Christmas (she wanted something to hang from her rear view mirror and these were PERFECT) So I'm waiting for her to finish up and people watching in front of Pirates. Within minutes of each other I heard two men walk past singing . . . the first one was belting out, "Yo ho ho ho. . ." and the second was apparently the rap version of Pirates, "Yo yo yo yo. . ." :rotfl2:

I never realized how hard it is to say those two names together! I was reading this and said, "Pluty and Goofo!" :rotfl2:

DH had me take a photo of him and DD with "Schmee" (probably spelled that wrong!). The older pirate guy from PotC. When we got the photos developed I commented how funny I thought it was that they had "Doc" from Snow White near the Pirates of the Carribean ride! Figured he would be near the Castle or in Fantasyland!

Well I was quickly corrected! But I still think they use the same costume, just put a striped pirate shirt on!

[TheZeppo]

Smee is from Peter Pan, not Pirates.

[sameyeyam]

Smee is from Peter Pan, not Pirates.

Well I have no idea what he was doing outside the Pirates ride. You really would think they would have him over in Fantasy Land. I guess maybe it's because Captain Hook was a pirate, so they thought he would fit in with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme???

We actually framed the photo because it turned out good. My husband always laughs & calls him Doc now!

[budbeerlady]

OK, here comes my confession. When I first heard about the Osborne Lights, I thought it must have something to do with Ozzie Osborne family. After all they have a tv show and the lights are in MGM Studios. Stupid of me I know to come to that conclusion, but it seemed reasonable.

I later did some research and found out all about them and the family that the court ordered to get rid of the lights. I am from the Pacific NW and have never in my life heard of these xmas lights, the Osborne family or anything about the controversy. I think that people living closer to the South know all about it, but for those of us living farther away we don't have a clue!

Luckily I didn't reveal my thoughts about the Ozzie Osborne lights to anyone other than the dark recesses of my mind! Well, until just now.


Dont feel bad. I thought the same thing being from MI. I didnt have any interest in seeing the Osborne lights, I am not an Ozzy fan. Good thing for the Dis boards (and their pictures) I would have not gone to see it at MGM and missed something really cool! :thumbsup2

Haunted Mansion stretching room - lights go out, corpse dangles above, everybody screams. In the silence afterwards this guy says "Oh my gawd, they killed Kenny".

That's exactly why they have them there :)
Since PotC is closed, they wanted to keep the pirate theme going with a meet and greet.

We have always seen Hook and Smee outside POTC.

[Syrreal]

I had never until the rehab :) I guess I get blinders on when it's time to ride

[babywewe]

I dont remember overhearing anything...but this thread is great! There is a book out called "overheard in NYC" this book will be called "overheard in WDW!"

I did ride EE with this guy who's rode the ride a million times...he knew everything that would happen and when got to that last part (no spoilers, sorry) he screemed "YEA! TEAR IT UP!"

We took the photo with them last year (April 2005), so well before the rehab.

[Syrreal]

Hook and Smee are regular fixtures in front of POTC whether it's open or not. Peter Pan can also be found over there with Wendy I believe.

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

Hilarious.


What a riot!! :rotfl:

[wolfxofxnovember]

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!!!

It would be more like

"Ozzy Osborne Black Lights"

I can hear him now...

SHARON! Why are the walls melting? And whats with this giant mouse following me. Holy Crap that hat is huge! My hands are HUGE!

[brutus]

We had a funny one at MGM last week.

The CM who seated us (a very dignified looking, older gentleman) at Mama Melrose's noticed my sons Cincinnati Reds cap. He stated "Oh, are you all from Chicago?" OK, no big deal. They both have a "C" on the cap; different colors and shapes, but maybe he's not a baseball fan.

My son then replied, "No, this is a Cincinnati hat." The CM them stated, "well they're in the same state"???!!! :confused3

We all looked at each other, not knowing what to say when my very vocal 5 year old DD pipes up; "No silly, Cincinnati is in Ohio, Chicago is in Illinois." :rotfl2: (I spend a lot of time working in Chicago even though we live in Ohio so my DD knows all about Chicago.)

He just walked away with a puzzled look on his face!

that's hilarious :rotfl: too funny!!

[princess22]

This thread is hilarious! I love it! It's kept me laughing forever. I had several funny interactions as a CM, here are a few

A guest came up and asked me "Do they make an announcement when it rains?" I cracked up inside, and thought to myself, how odd would that be? "Attention in the Magic Kingdom, it is now raining. Thank you."

Inside the main part of Stitch, a husband asked me if the restraints apply pressure to the shoulders. I said yes, there is slight pressure. then he replies "how about the chest, my wife just got her ****s done." as he pointed to his blushing wife.


There I was in my full costume, name tag and all, a guest walks up "excuse me do you work here?" I jokingly said "No, I got this off of ebay" "Oh okay, sorry to bother you" as she started to walk away!

[princess22]

I just thought of another one. My family is from England, and I was at the MK one evening with my parents and my Nan (grandmother). We asked my nan what she wanted to do next and she was like, oh lets go on the PIrates of Pincanze (I'm not sure how to spell that, but it's a place in England). My dad and I cracked up! She didn't get it, she still thinks it's called that.

[wolfxofxnovember]

I want to be a CM at MK I am 15 but whenI finish school and hopefully get through college. I will try my best to become a HM CM.

Sometimes I can be so ditzy...On our last trip in May , I refered to the Richard Petty Driving Experience as "The Tom Petty Driving Experience"....... :sad2:

My husband's family met us at WDW for Thanksgiving last year. We'd done this a couple of years previously, too. Each time I gave them my "Disney For Idiots Who Won't Take Time To Read Before Going" version of pertinent information complete with a tip sheet for each park. On day 3 of the trip my SIL says they're going to spend the next day at Universal. A little later we get a call from them asking us for some Disney touring help, because their Universal plans were cancelled. They couldn't find a Disney bus to take them to Universal. (and, no, they weren't meaning MGM) Gee, there was a reason I didn't e-mail anything mentioning Universal!

I heard both of these at DL (sorry, I live in AZ). Funny things happen out West too.

In a critter country mechandise store in front of a giant stuffed winne the pooh. Mom come look at this, it's the biggest Pooh I've ever seen!

On exiting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln a man says to his family who was waiting outside. It was a nice show the man playing Lincoln was pretty good but a bit stiff!

Just about died laughing.

My ex boyfriend and I were eating at Le Cellier in canada. As we approached our table, we got really nervous because we were smooshed between two other families, one with two little boys, who seemed a little hyper. We sat down, and the father leaned over to me, and the first thing he says, "believe me, after this dinner You are going to believe in birth control!" My eyes got huge, and I looked at my ex like, oh no what have we gotten ourselves into.

As a side note, the night turned out great, because the wonderfully nice family, paid for our dinner! They left before us, and when our waiter gave us our check, it was a note, saying the gentlemen next to us paid for everything! It was like something out of a movie. Unfortunately, we didn't get to thank him. But it was a night I'll never forget!

[Jan3571]

While walking around World Showcase in early May, there was a Mom and her 8ish year old daughter coming the opposite direction from us in front of Italy. The daughter points at the bell tower and asked it was the Leaning Tower of Pisa....the mother, who was rushing her along, replied "No honey, that's in Mexico"????!!!! What kind of geography is she teaching her kids? At least the daughter had the right country. Oh well, I'm sure they will straighten it out for her in school.

A couple of weeks ago while at Cosmic Rays in MK!
We were having a quick lunch to avoid the rain.

The line for the women's rest room was rather long.

A woman loudly stated " I wonder how many women are
waiting in line for the mens room"

A gentleman passing by replied:
"All of the people in the Men's room were men,
I can assure you that there were no WOMEN in the MEN"S Room"

All of us in line burst out laughing!

[Steph1976]

Another time in EPCOT there were two roughly 60 yo ladies in the bathroom discussing what EPCOT stands for and as they said the words together on finished correctly the other one said "...Community Of Life" and when her friend corrected her that the final word was "Tomorrow" she said "Is it not Life", So my Husband and I often call it EPCOL, LOL :rotfl2:


So yeah, I can't really write it out because that would be slightly obscene but my friend's mother in law calls EPCOT by a different name. She replaces the "T" with a "K"... 'nuff said

[David R]

On the way out of Everest the other day, a family was discussing their experience in the ride. The mother/wife exclaimed "we went backwards?!?"

At first I thought she was joking since part of it you are outside and you know what's happening. But they all had to assure her of it. Maybe she had her eyes closed the whole time? I don't know but it made me giggle.

[travelitis]

This thread is hilarious! I've been reading it over a few days then copying and pasting the best ones into an e-mail for my dh who is deployed. Very few didn't make the cut, btw. lol! He told me to keep them coming. So, see, we're not just trashing those folks who are (mistakenly, imnsho) not as obsessed about WDW as we are. We're bolstering the morale of the troops! He's going to be home soon, and we'll be spending leave time at, you guessed it, WDW! He'll be gone again for a few months after leave, so we're going to load him up with Casey dogs and take him to see his favorite group, Off Kilter. We are going to be laughing about several of these posts and listening for more gems of idiocy.

Avalanche Explosion - I asked my dd8 to guess which ride that was, and she got it on the 1st guess. I have to say that the FastPass to the parking lot would be a perfect way to end a long day. :rotfl2:

[flipfloppershopper]

O.K. I am going to tell this one on myself. My DD and I were meeting several characters. There were several close together and the lines kind of mixed. I didn't want to be rude and cut infront of anyone so I set out trying to find the end of the line to Winne the Pooh by asking "Are you in line for Pooh?" I asked a couple of people before I decided to rephrase my question.

[PrincessJasmine1972]

In actuality, Poofy, Gluto, Dumpy, and Gropey live in the Hundred Naked Woods. Attractions there include Avalanche Explosion and the Tower of Pain. :teeth:

We were staying at BWV & had a room on the end of the building near the walkway to MGM. On the way back from MGM, by DS who was 4 1/2 at the time started whining "I'm too lazy to walk. I'm too lazy." :faint:

We had to give him credit for honesty, but we've never let him forget the line when someone's tired of walking.

[mickeysgal]

There I was in my full costume, name tag and all, a guest walks up "excuse me do you work here?" I jokingly said "No, I got this off of ebay" "Oh okay, sorry to bother you" as she started to walk away!

At the end of the Snow White ride at MK there is a great Kodak moment...


She says sometime my Prints will come.

Must have sent off for them.

Here's a funny.. isnt at Disney but is Disney related: I was walking behind this couple in the mall heading over to the theater to get tickets for POTC 2...

Woman: This theater is awful busy tonight, that Pirate movie must be a big thing
Man: Well i guess it is seeing as they made a ride at Disneyland to go along with it.

I had to stifle my giggles! Never been to DL or WDW and never rode POTC (but REALLY wanna)and even I KNOW the ride came first... :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:
