Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[ILVPOOH]

Today at work (I work at the Disney Store), I heard the best comment ever. It tops everything I've previously heard.

There's a $4.99 t-shirt sale going on, and a lady picked out a Dumbo shirt for grandchild. I pointed out to here that there's a matching adult size and it is also $4.99. She turns, looks at me, and says, "Oh, I don't wear t-shirts."

I couldn't help but ask her "Oh, okay. Do you just wear sweaters year-round then?" - Not in a sarcastic way. She looks at me, flabergasted, once again like I should know this, and says "No, I wear shirts that are made of t-shirt material." And then walks away.

I've never been so speechless in my life.

She just meant that she didn't wear t-shirts that have iron-on pictures on them. I think it was a little wrong to say what you said. It did sound a little sarcastic. Sorry.

[WickedWench]

I don't generally wear t-shirts either, because the straight cut doesn't fit my body well. There are short sleeved shirts that aren't t-shirts.

[HooKooDooKu]

Just playing Devil's Advocate again (a bad habit of mine; I know)... but she could have meant "I don't wear screenprinted t-shirts". I personally know a lot of people who will only wear plain shirts.

Yea, I knew what the lady was meaning... but it was still funny.

Here's another example of that type of humor: The following quote is the opening sentence to an MSNBC news article...

"A giant ice shelf has snapped free from an island south of the North Pole..." (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16390346/)

[peel]

Yes, me too! Several years ago I was at the airport trying to pick up my plane ticket for a flight I was about to take (to WDW! :goodvibes ) The guy at the counter snapped at me that minors were not allowed to pick up their own tickets without an adult present. I told him I was not a minor and he snorted and said "What are you, 14?" When I showed him my license that clearly had my birth year on it - which made me 20 - he was very apologetic.

Of course I was kind of asking for it - I was wearing pink glasses and had squeezed myself into a toddler-sized Little Mermaid shirt from the Disney store :blush:

Unfortunately I can relate to this too....I'm 30 and as recently as last year I got carded.....at the movies!!!! Who gets carded at the movies??? I didn't have my ID with me and they wouldn't let me in until I had my fiance show his ID. They let me in as long as I had my adult supervision!


And to stay on topic, that apples comment is the greatest. :rotfl:

[WDWHeather]

Bumpin' this back up!

[jagruti6]

Last year as we were checking out of our resort, we went to check our baggage and get our boarding passings from the preferred airline counter. There were two cast memebr helping us,they ask us were we are going, My husband replys we are flying home to Maine. At which point the Cast memeber says I`m Sorry sir, this service is only available for domestic flights You`ll have to check your baggage and pick up your boarding passes at the airport. We then spent the next 5 -10 minutes trying to convince them the Maine IS part of the United States.:rotfl2:

[a.little.goofy]

The first time we visited WDW was in 95. My identical twin boys were 6 years old. While waited in line for the Dumbo ride a woman behind us asked " Are they twins" I replied "yes". She then asked " Are they related to the twins over there?

[Cinderella1122]

Last summer I was sitting right behind a little boy on TOT, he was probably about 6 or 7. It was his first trip inside the hotel and I think the pre-show and que-line had the kid seriously convinced that he was going into the twilight zone. After the ride was over the kid looked at his mom and asked, "Are we still alive? Are we really in the twilight zone now?" and when he mom replied that he was fine and was still in "reality", the boy let out a loud "Oh thank god!!!!" the whole car started laughing and cheering for the boy who survived the TOT.:laughing:

[mumloveseeyore]

overheard last summer in front of TOT between an older couple " no it's just called a hotel dear you cant actually stay there ."

[Marilou]

Not at WDW, but about WDW.

DS8 told his DGM (my MIL) that we are going to WDW in May. Her comment: "Again?? You know, there are other places you can go to for vacation. Why don't y'all go somewhere that's fun?

OMG I get this all the time! We tried someplace else once, Hershey PA. Every morning my mom & I would be outside our hotel room, on the bench, look at each other.....and say almost in unison "I wish we were at WDW"
I start planning my trip almost as soon as we get back and all my co-workers say the same thing, "But didn't you just go to Disney?" Like its a one shot deal! Well if they don't get it, more fastpasses for us right?

[luvthemouse71]

She just meant that she didn't wear t-shirts that have iron-on pictures on them. I think it was a little wrong to say what you said. It did sound a little sarcastic. Sorry.:stir: popcorn::
OOHHH, I knew the gloves were gonna come off sooner or later in this thread. Who'd have though the "anti t-shirt" people would have started it!:lmao: It WAS kind of silly the way the lady said it and I don't think the disney store employee meant to offend her. Sheesh. Sometimes I wish that people wouldn't jump on every little comment. While the drama afterwards can be entertaining, it gets really old after a while. Can we all please play nice?

[Lizardbeth61]

Okay, maybe it's not for everyone . . . why is beyond me;)

DH & I are taking my MIL and SIL on a three night cruise. We have a couple of days after the cruise to explore. SIL has NEVER been to Disney. I asked her if she preferred going ot WDW or St. Augustine. We love St. Augustine, but I thought if she'd never been to WDW she'd chose that. Her response???? Oh most definitely St. Augustine. I'm not into all that amusement park ride stuff! I didn't even try to explain!!!!! LOL.

[NeverEnufWDW]

Okay, I've been holding on to this one a while....

In 2001, I was at DL with DD2.5 and DSis. Conspicuously, DW had decided to stay back at the hotel for some quiet time. It had just turned dark and those wicked CMs brought out the carts with the lighted spinners, wands, and other assorted money-grabbing devices. :scared1:

Of course, my daughter is drawn straight to one parked just ahead of the Bakery on Main Street - like a bug to a zapper. She wanted one and wanted it now ! I was determined to take a stand and said "No". Now came the whining and crying..."please.....please......Daddy..... please" :sad:

Nope - I was not budging. My childless DSis, meanwhile, was enjoying the scene and snickering. The protestation/whining hit a fever pitch, so I picked her up. "Honey, you don't really need one of those." Out of the blue, DD points to another little girl nearby and shouts out in the most tearful, pitiful "you are the worst Daddy in the world" voice....."But you bought THAT little girl one !!".

DSis then lost it :rotfl2: I was not impressed, and looked around to see parents glaring at me from all sides as I carried her, kicking and screaming, away from the cart.

It was not funny to me at the time but it seems hilarious now.

[Lizardbeth61]

is Walt Disney World????? We were staying at Disney's Vero Beach resort last summer and some women was expressing her disappointment in Disney World . . . she thought there'd be at least some rides other than the pool slide. My jaw dropped. I composed myself and explained that this is where people come to relax AFTER a visit to WDW. Yeesh!!!!!

She replied that she's from Nebraska and people from Nebraska don't travel to Disney because they have the zoo. Bet there are a few Nebraskans out there who would beg to differ . . . and may I ask what the zoo has to do with not going to WDW???

Think I shared this before, but I also thought it might be worth sharing again.

I absolutely love this! I mean, part of me feels sorry for the woman, but part of me just :rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao: and a little bit :confused:, :sad2: , and :rolleyes:. Hope she at least enjoyed the :beach:

[ShariM]

While staying at the All Star Resorts, I was getting some information from the front desk CM and a lady walks up asking which way she needs to go to 'walk' to Epcot. The CM very politely explains to her that is several miles to walk to Epcot and it would be best to take the bus and showed her the bus stop area. She pulls out her map and says that she CHOSE this resort so that they could walk to Epcot and Animal Kingdom because she checked her map and it wasn't that far! The CM again explains that it is a loooonnng walk and the bus would be better. She insisted a friend told her she could WALK to Epcot and that is what she was going to! I stood quietly to the side with aching ribs trying not to laugh out loud. She finally stomped off and said "I'll figure out how to walk there myself!". I wonder if she ever got there.

[mabenoab]

Ok I've got three I can think of.

1. We were staying at beach club, and had come in the international gateway to epcot. We were about 1/2 of the way between the entrance and the Uk, on the path there, while some in our party visited with sleeping beauty. A lady comes by with two boys, about 11-12, I figure her kids, walking from the UK towards the exit, and she is saying "No, we don't need a map, we are just going to walk right along this circle here and see all the countries in order. We do not need a map, it just makes a circle." About two minutes later, here they come back towards UK from the international gateway and she is saying "not another word, just don't say another word."

2. Actually this was at the disney store, around christmas time. A little boy was telling his parents which of the toys he wanted and he, really loudly saud "I want a little Buzz and a big Woodie," and this lady across the store under her breath said "don't we all."

3. we were with some of our friends at future world in epcot, and we took a bathroom break. There were a group of school kids there, probably around 5th graders about 12 years old, and so the bathroom was really busy with all these boys and there was a bit of a wait in the common area around the sinks. From one of the stalls, one of the kids, trying to impress his friends, was doing a really amazing, and very loud, Austin Powers imitation of "Whose the boss of #2" with some incredible sound effects. The really funny part was that all of us adults (strangers) were looking at each other in the eye and biting our lips saying to ourselves "I will not laugh at 12-year-old boy potty humor, I will be a good example." I guess you had to see the faces of everybody trying not to laugh to get it.

Shari M.

oh my gosh! why would anyone ever want to walk there? haha! what's the big deal with taking a bus... or maybe she was clastrophobic?? besides, don't you have to drive on some of the main highway to get to animal kingdom?? haha. this is a good one!

[Loves Disney]

Yeah, I am near positive you do have to go on part of main highway! Imagine that...seeing an irate woman holding a map, stomping down the highway mumbling to herself, "I'm going to find my own way to walk!" :rotfl:

[WDWHeather]

you should have told her never never land is just on the other side of the hotel. maybe she could have walked there too?

Haha! Imagine driving down the road and seeing this woman in her state of mind, with the map, all covered in leaves and mud emerging from the woods area...then she looks up and you yell to the kids in the back of the car, "Kids, look away! Don't make eye contact!" lol.

[luvsmickeymouse]

OK - this wasn't overheard, but it was too funny to not share. It happened at DL, but we still laugh about it today.

After enjoying the Tiki Room for the first time (nice respite for our feet, etc.), our DD (age 4 at the time), was very hesitant about leaving at the end of the show. We kept insisting, and she kept shying further back into the room.

Finally, we sat her down and asked what was wrong. She said "I don't want to go yet". So we explained that the show was done and we needed to make room for the next people coming in. She said "I know, but I don't WANT to go back to the hotel!"

:confused: Puzzled, my DH and I looked at each other - it was only 4 pm - nap time was past and dinner wasn't for a bit (and we weren't eating at the hotel). DH told her - "We don't have to go back to the hotel, honey."

She said "Yes we do" DH - "No we don't" (repeat several times...)

Finally she burst out and started crying "Yes we do because it's RAINING!!!"

:rotfl2:

She thought it was REALLY raining outside because of the story line in the show. We finally (with the help of some CM's) got her out of there and dried her tears.

My husband keeps threatening to use it as his embarrasing story for her boyfriends when she gets older.





AAWWWWWW! This is so cute! I love it! :cloud9:

[dizprincess717]

She just meant that she didn't wear t-shirts that have iron-on pictures on them. I think it was a little wrong to say what you said. It did sound a little sarcastic. Sorry.

...Note how I did make the disclaimer of "not in a sarcastic way." Please, I've worked at WDW and for 1/2 a year at the Disney Store and I know better than to ever be sarcastic to a Guest.

Perhaps I should have clarified. She then went on to tell me "I do wear shirts of t-shirt material."

...She should have just said "I don't wear screen-printed shirts." However, it was the way she said it that made it funny.

Sort of like when Guests say Speed Pass or Easy Pass, ya know? Sorry for the controversy. Sheesh.:confused3

I kind of like Hershey pa :laughing: 2 weeks after I got home from WDW this past July, I spent a week in Hershey. I had to get "It's a small world" out of my head and replace it with..."hersheys chocolate, hershey's cocolate hershey's chocoate world, wherever I go, not matter how far, there'll always be a hershey bar, hershey's chocolate hershey's chocolate, hershey's great american chocolate bar!" This song makes me miss the old chocolate world ride, before they added those dumb singing cows :sad2:

[ldmilton]

It seems that every vacation, no matter where we go, we have at least one run in with "The Loud, Obnoxious Family". :headache: Bet some of you out there have run into them as well.

Last Sept DH and I stayed at AKL and were taking the bus to MK about mid-morning. Just before the driver was about to close the door and leave, a large VERY LOUD group, is running for the bus ...Grandparents, teens, school-age kids, and a woman. The bus driver sees them and waits. The whole VERY LOUD group gets on and heads to the back....except for the woman. She stands just inside the doorway and asks the driver how long he will be there. When he says that he is ready to leave, she takes a step back so he can't close the door and tells the driver that her husband should be there soon! She then takes out her cell phone and calls her husband. The bus driver, ever so politely tells her that he really must go, but that another bus will be by in about 15 minutes. To this she replies, "Oh, no. He hates to wait. I'm sure he will be here soon." She then turns to the rest of us on the bus and says....(you're going to love this)
"He will be here soon...you know he saved all year for this, and it is OUR vacation."

So, finally Mr. hate-to-wait-saved-all-year-this-is-my-vacation" comes sauntering up...not in any hurry at all and gets on the bus!

There was a young couple sitting across from us and the young man gets up as Mr. Vacation is getting on, bows and with a very British accent, tells him that his reserved seating is in the back. The whole bus just busted out laughing!

Gotta give that bus driver credit...I'd have smashed that lady with the door and driven off!

Well, as a 40 year resident of Nebraska I just have to respond. There are a LOT of us Nebraskans that love to travel to Disney. And even though we do have a nice zoo in Omaha, there is no comparring it to WDW at all (IMHO).

:rotfl2: That's funny! I never thought about it before, but we always do encounter a loud, rude family!

[Todd_H]

Kids can say some funny things when they are upset...

On our last trip to the World, my DW and DD (4 at the time) were walking from the bus stops to the MK entrance about 4:00 pm and there was a family coming out with their young son who must have been about 5. They had obviously been in the park all day because the little boy was losing his mind. He was screaming and as we got closer to them we heard the little boy scream, "I JUST WANT TO... PUT MY SHOES ON... IN EPCOT!" :rotfl2:

To this day, my DW and I laugh about that and whenever one of our little ones start pitching a fit, we ask them if they want to put their shoes on in Epcot.

[mouseman41]

I had a guy last week ask a CM at the bus stops at the MK where to catch the bus to Universal Studios!!!

[Disney Planner Mama]

A few years ago we went to Epcot with my DSIL and DBIL and their 3 year old son. Our DD was about 6 months older than he. We borrowed a double stroller from a friend who had twins so we could just wheel them around together. We had let the children out for a while and they decided that they wanted to get back in. DD climbs in her side of the stroller, and then DN decides he wants to sit on that side, and proceeds to have a complete meltdown. Lying on the sidewalk kicking and screaming. His parents were determined not to give in. After a few minutes DD asks "Why is he so sad" we explained that he wanted to sit on her side of the stroller. She gives all of us adults a look like we are nuts and simply shifts over to the other side. DN immediately stops his meltdown and climbs in beside her. She leans over, puts her hand on his arm and says "If you have any other problems you just let me know".

Sometimes kids have the right ideas about how to deal with issues.

My favorite is my own. I always wait until we are in a crowded area and the kids are asking to do something and I very loudly say:

Hey!! We aren't here to have fun, we're here to get this map done!!

[udsweetpea]

I've had quite a few funny questions from guests when I was working at the parks. Here are a few of the questions from when I was working front desk at Coronado:

"Do we take the monorail from here to Sea World?" Ok, first, did you see any monorail tracks outside when you drove up? And why would Disney transportation take you to Sea World?

I had many people ask me to sell them Sea World tickets.


Once when I was just walking around MK, a man asked me if he could take the railroad over to Animal Kingdom.

When I was working at Park Fare, I asked a woman "Are you all on the Dining Plan?" She responds "No, we're from Iowa." Umm.. ok then.

That is too cute! They're so wise, aren't they?

[madcoco]

Top three here from memory.
"This log is wet" MK DW's girlfriend at SM.

"Do you have any white meat Turkey Legs" MGM standing in line behind the person to get a drink at Toluca Legs. The CM couldn't hold a straight face as he explained legs are dark meat only.

"I can't believe they don't serve Coke here. Unbelievable!" The old Ice Station Cool. Epcot.

[HannaBelle]

"He will be here soon...you know he saved all year for this, and it is OUR vacation."

No way! That is just wrong...

I have debated posting this b/c, well it really is NOT funny, but what makes it funny is the memories I share with my BFFs. It was wrong, but we just didn't have a clue what to do at the time. The good thing is we still laugh about it...

During the summer of 1988, 2 of my BFF's and I went to WDW with one of the BFF's parents. (They had time share in Sarasota that we stayed at for 2 weeks and we went to MK for one day...awesome, awesome summer!)

Anyway...the 3 of us had the opportunity to have a photo taken with Chip and Dale. We stood beside and between them...so it was girl - munk - girl - munk - girl... While my BFF's mom was photographing, us Chip and Dale had their hands with a firm grips on our arses! :eek: The mom wanted us to stay for a few more secs and get more pics, she was very adamant with her New York accent (all 3 of us were Texas girls and always had a good laugh about her accent...she is a wonderful lady! :hug: ) but we were quite done...

I have not been able to watch Chip and Dale cartoons without thinking of the "perverted chipmunks" for almost 20 years. :rolleyes:

[MyManGoofy!]

No way! That is just wrong...

I have debated posting this b/c, well it really is NOT funny, but what makes it funny is the memories I share with my BFFs. It was wrong, but we just didn't have a clue what to do at the time. The good thing is we still laugh about it...

Top three here from memory.
"This log is wet" MK DW's girlfriend at SM.

"Do you have any white meat Turkey Legs" MGM standing in line behind the person to get a drink at Toluca Legs. The CM couldn't hold a straight face as he explained legs are dark meat only.

"I can't believe they don't serve Coke here. Unbelievable!" The old Ice Station Cool. Epcot.

Feb 25 2007 My friends and I were in line for TOT and we decided we were going to mess with the bellhop. So I was first and I gave him a line timer card (or what ever their called) and then I went to my # spot. And my friend Jen yelled to the bellhop "OMG you dropped your pocket" The bellhop named Mike said "I'd laugh if that made sense" So we were waiting for the elevator to come and mike was going on with this whole big thing (very in character) when my friend Brittani said "Are you serious right now" He looked at her and my friend carly touched his chin. We were all laughing and he was just staring at us. Well the elevator came and we were seating in the last row. I couldn't find my seatbelt and was freaking out. Mike said it's on the left I looked to the right. He said "no hold up your hands the one that makes the L is the left." So then he said if there is anything elese you need don't hesitate to ask. Me and my 4 friends yelled "POCKETS" and he just shook his head and laughed. Well we went on TOT 3 more times just to bug him. But we never got a pic of him. That is until we were waiting for the other 35 people we were waiting for (Was with school) came. We saw the TOT castmembers walking behind a fence and then we saw MIKE and had your pic taken. The comments and time with mike made our trip and we still quote it.

[Jasminetigger]

We ate at 'Ohanna last night. After dinner we were waiting in line to take the monorail to MK. A couple behind us were talking to their friends about how their son always stays at the Poly when they go on the Disney cruise because the cruise ship docks right behind the Poly and it is just so easy for them to stay right there. I spent the rest of the night looking for that darn ship.:rotfl2:

[udsweetpea]

LOL! That reminds of the time someone asked me if the cruise ship comes right up the Sassagoula (sp?) River at Port Orleans Riverside. Too funny!

[Lyons Family]

:hippie: :scared:
Our first trip to Disney in 2001 we stayed at the Wilderness lodge. Our then 6 year old daughter was always upset because everytime we would come back to our room she would find butter patties on her bed. She didn't want to say anything to us. . . until we were packing to go home on our last night when her father opened up one of the "butter wraps" and started to eat it. She goes to him "Why are you eating butter"? He goes it's chocolate. She was so mad at herself for passing up chocolate every night, never realizing chocolate came in what looked like butter wrappers. By the way we did save her peices and she enjoyed every last one.

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

This was actually a comment the bad guy on the Great Movie Ride heard my Dad tell me. Basically when the bad guy gets out so he can get the thing from the Indiana Jones movie and as he walks by us my Dad says what if I took his hat off his head? Well he obviously heard it because I heard him lagugh and the funny thing is my Dad said that comment to me in a low voice so one else in the car would hear it.

[Dis-Wiz]

This isn't the funniest thing we have ever heard or seen at WDW, but I thought I would add it. :thumbsup2

One time we were on the monorail to the MK, and a rather large family was sitting in the other other of the section (not a part of the same "room", but there was no divider). Anyway, they had a little baby, that whenever someone clapped, she would start clapping too, in a really cute way. So, the whole ride to the MK, the family was nearly shouting, as they were all saying "YAY MEAGAN!" and clapping.
Over and over and over.... lol. They didn't realize that we were there until we pulled up to the MK station. :rolleyes:

[thptrek]

I'll post this in my TR but decided to add it here. We are at the Food & Fun center at the Contemporary Resort. We are sitting in the seating area and across the room is a family. The two kids are running around the room and Dad is just watching them and asking them to come back to the table to eat. He then yells out "The first one to come over here and high-five me will get a $100 bill." Then he yells out again, "I have the $100 bill right here." A Cast Member who is walking by sweeping the floor doesn't even break stride and gives the guy a high five!!

We all just cracked up.

PS: It did not appear that the Dad gave the CM the $100 bill for the high five, lol.

[Sorsha]

I still have very strong memories of the two trips to WDW that my family took to WDW when I was a teenager. My mom was raising my little brother and I alone, and money was tight, so those two trips were very special, very anticipated, and very cherished. We stayed both times in the "Good Neighbor" hotels, and so relied on the "Purple and Green" buses for our transportation.
One evening, when the ride was particularily long, and the bus driver had exhausted his usual chatter, he started asking people on the bus where they hailed from. When he got to our family, my mom answered "Montana" and he replied with "Ah yes, Montana. Where the men are Men. And the sheep are scared." My mom laughed, along with the rest of the bus, but in that I-can't-believe-he-said-that sort of way. I was 15, I thought it was hysterical. My little brother was 9, he was clueless. LOL
Also from that trip, we were on the Magic Skyway for the very first time, back when it was still open. We had departed from Tomorrowland, and were about to alight in Fantasyland. The CM at that end, trying to be funny, yelled out "Pull the brake, pull the brake!!" as we came in. My poor mother, this being her first time in WDW, suspended WAY up in the air alone with her two children, and being an easily-panicked sort of person to begin with, went NUTS looking frantically around the car trying to find ANYTHING resembling a handle or a button or a lever or a brake of any kind. The CM felt VERY bad and apologized profusily as he helped us out of the car, which of course landed quite safely without the help of a braking system. Mom would never get into the Skyway again, however, and felt Poetic Justice was servied when it was decomissioned. :daisy:

[mylightshines]

I was sitting outside of Splash Mountain waiting for my DD and DH. A lady sits next to me and tells me about her two-hour wait for her luggage and her three-hour wait for the bus. She was staying off-site:confused3.

Anyway, she proceeded to tell me about the new hotel that was like a castle. I explained to her no, you can "win" a night in Cinderella's castle. She didn't understand and then said well, it has something to do with wishes, I think it's the Make a Wish Foundation for sick kids. They can "wish" to stay in the castle and their wish is granted. I knew at this point, I wasn't going to win this argument so just agreed.:rotfl2:

[TheRustyScupper]

I was in the men's room in Epcot, next to Morocco. One of the other attendees, was an approx 4-5 year-old boy. He must have been in there a while, because we hear a woman's voice loudly from outside saying, "Mark, are you OK in there?". The boy, obviously proud of going to the bathroom on his own between several of us at the urinals, yet still embarrassed, shouted back, "Mom, PLEASE. Not in front of the other guys!".

Was she talking about the Doubletree Castle that is offsite? There is a pink castle that is actually a Doubletree Hotel. I remember it because it is so pretty. Just thought that is what she may have been talking about...:)

No, she was definitely talking about Cinderella's castle.

In 2003 I was working at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. As part of my training, I had to be taught how to use a pargo (golf cart) and also learn about the bus stations. My trainer was a nice gentleman from Peru and he had a very thick accent. We were driving around on the pargo and he told me that there were two bus stations, one at the front and one in the back of resort by Pioneer Hall. He told the names of the stations were the "Apples" and the "Salmon" (as he pronounced Sal-oh-mon). ...At least, that's what I thought he said. For months I would tell guests to take a purple, red or yellow bus from the "Apples" depot back to the "Salmon" depot. Finally one day a guest told me, "I don't know where the "Apples" place is you're telling me, but I do know where the "Outpost" and the "Settlement" are."

"Apples" = Outpost
"Salmon" = Settlement

I was so embarassed. Hahaha :lmao:

On a slightly related, but nevertheless OT subject, Disney just finished and opened the Disney Wish Lounge in the MK. It's open ONLY to guests who are staying with us as part of either "Make-A-Wish" or a similar organization like "Give Kids The World". It's a quiet place with couches, chairs, a TV and video games where these kids can come in with their families for a quick break from the park without having to go all the way to and from their hotel rooms.

[Simba22]

I think this is another one of those "you had to be there" moments but here it goes:

In May 2005, my boyfriend and I were on our first vacation alone at WDW. We had passed by the meet & greet area for Aladdin and Jasmine just as the line was closing for their break so we asked the CM when they would be back. She said about 20 minutes and we could wait if we wanted. We decided to walk around a bit instead and came back about 20 minutes later to find a short line (about 5 people ahead of us). We get in line and a a few more families come up behind us. Eventually the CM ropes off the line again for another break. Just before it was our turn to go meet them, this girl (probably 13 or 14) comes up to the end of the line and the CM tells her that they are taking a break and will be back in about 20 minutes. This girl starts throwing the worst teen-age temper tantrum I had ever seen! She start screaming at the top of her lungs that she waited all day and everytime she come over here, they are closing the line. The CM politely tells her again that they will be back in 20 minutes and she can wait so she doesn't lose her place in line. The girl starts shouting even louder about how she doesn't want to wait, and "can't you just get another Jasmine to come out?" The CM looks at her dead serious and goes "well...there's only one Aladdin and only one Jasmine..." The girl opened her mouth to say something but was kind of caught off guard all she could sputter was "there's only 1? That's impossible!" The CM say's "no...no it's not. There's only 1." The girl just turned and stormed off but when we got up to Jasmine and Aladdin, Jasmine asks me what was going on back there. I explained the story and she laughed and then whispered to me "Thank God they didn't let her in, I have to pee so bad!"

hahaha. That's so funny! Too bad about the teenager with the temper tantrum. She should be a little embarrassed about that one...

[Stew_Mouse]

This is more cute than funny:

My Dsis and I had just ridden Snow White. As we were climbing out of the seats, a boy of about 5 or 6 y.o. who was in line right in front of where we were climbing out asked us in a fearful voice, "Is it very scary?" His mom laughed gently, and we said no, it's not. We hope he didn't find it too scary, cuz then he'll remember that some strangers lied to him! Anyway, he sounded so scared and nervous, it was really adorable.

Okay this is really funny but a little crude so if that is not your humor type please scroll past.

This was my first trip to dw on our first day we stopped by TOT before we went to dinner. I've heard that disney pipes smells on certain rides so we were in the boiler room waiting to board when I take a big whiff and said,"Wow, it smells like somebody died in here!" My dh bf started busted out laughing it wasn't until after the ride that he told me no he had just passed gas! I couldn't understand why everyone was laughing at me but now I know.:sad2:

[dameodie]

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

I'm reading this thread in chunks from the beginning... so much comdey gold! Keep 'em coming!

[tcruz_10]

This is my very first post.

Me, my wife, two small daughters, and 3 relatives went to DW 3 weeks ago. The first park we went to was EPCOT. We went to the Princess Storybook Dining first thing in the morning. We saw Belle in her yellow gown and had her autograph and pictures taken with us. Late that afternoon, we saw a line for character greeting with Beauty and the Beast. My wife excitedly claims 'There's Beauty!'. After we had their autographs and pictures, we were surprised that 'Beauty' had the exact same autograph as Belle.

Also at the Storybook Dining, a princess wearing a pink gown came to our table. Afterwards everyone was asking who that was. When we looked at the autograph book, she signed 'Princess Aurora'. We had to call my sister-in-law (who has 3 older kids) and asked her who Princess Aurora was. Turns out it's Sleeping Beauty.

I have 2 daughters, a 1 and a 2 year old. I figure, in a few years, I'd memorize all the names of Disney characters.

:Pinkbounc and a quote!

This is, hands down, the funniest thing I've read so far in this thread. And there's been some goodies, lemme tell ya!

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


Meet and Greet

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

:rotfl: :lmao:

[ougrad86]

Here's one I overheard while playing at Epcot:

Mother (to son, during lunch): Hey, go easy on those apples! I brought enough to last you all day-- and they don't grow on trees, you know!

(Yes, I completely lost it on that one. Thank the Gods I wasn't in costume!)

Today I was working Parade Crowd Control and had a guest duck under the rope, walk out to me in the middle of the empty street (with thousands on either side of me) and ask, "Excuse me, but where's the parade route?"

I only wish it were raining; then I could have replied, "You're soaking in it."

I once overheard this exchange:

Son (pointing at the Guests in the FastPass lane): "Why do all those people get to go in front of us?"

Mom: "Oh, those are all the rich people who paid extra."

(Yes, I gave them a free education about FastPass.)


I love the one about the apples (and the rest) :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[ougrad86]

is Walt Disney World????? We were staying at Disney's Vero Beach resort last summer and some women was expressing her disappointment in Disney World . . . she thought there'd be at least some rides other than the pool slide. My jaw dropped. I composed myself and explained that this is where people come to relax AFTER a visit to WDW. Yeesh!!!!!

She replied that she's from Nebraska and people from Nebraska don't travel to Disney because they have the zoo. Bet there are a few Nebraskans out there who would beg to differ . . . and may I ask what the zoo has to do with not going to WDW???

Think I shared this before, but I also thought it might be worth sharing again.

I am from the Omaha, NE area, and yes we have a very nice zoo...but AK is way better - and we are planning out next WDW vacation with my MIL from Nebraska coming with us.
Have no clue what she is talking about, but like you said there are more than a few Nebraskans out here who would beg to differ!

Apparently one father pushed it a little too much and walked out right after the explosion/smoke where Mickey disappears from the top of the mountain but right before they spotlight him appearing at the bottom.

When we passed him as we were exiting, he was trying to quiet a screaming toddler in a stroller, who could only wail over and over "Mickey's dead! Mickey's dead!" while the father kept saying "No he's not. You'll see him tomorrow."

Poor little tyke must have seen Mickey go up in a ball of fire and came to the only logical conclusion!

Kind of tugs at you, but in retrospect, it's also hilarious. The father didn't gain any time, and whenever we've had our feet stepped on too many times by other people's children allowed to run amok or been hit one too many times by freely-swinging swords or light sabers, we'll just mutter to each other "Mickey's dead", and have a little flight of fancy about the panic that would ensue if we said it out loud! Never fails to lighten the mood a bit and bring a smile.

My DA is not to up on the Disney movies --

While looking at the Broom Topiaries in MGM she loudly exclaims -- "Oh Look! Dancing Pickles!" It took a minute to figure out what she was looking at --- but now if you are going to MGM -- you are going to visit the Dancing Pickles!

And yes, she's plenty old enough to have seen Fantasia!

This reminds me of my dad! Last year at MK he was a little ways ahead of us on the way to BTMR. He calls my cell phone & says, "Get DD up here! Hiawatha is here signing autographs." "Hiawatha? What?" "Oh, I don't know! Some Indian!" (now, don't get offended! We live in Oklahoma & have many Native American friends. This is just the word he happened to use at the time.) I finally just said, "Dad, could it be Pocahontas?" "Yeah, maybe. I don't know." I had quized DH repeatedly on the different characters before the trip (making him play Disney Memory & Disney Guess Who many times), but I guess I failed to 'educate' my dad on the characters.:)

This thread is so long that I don't know if I have shared this before.

A friend of mine was working outside of Planet Hollywood and a man walks up to him:
Man - "Where Disney World?"
CM - "You are in Disney World right now."
Man - "Well, where are the rides?"
CM - "In the parks."
Man - "Parks? What parks?"

[jonslola]

Last year at MK my dh and I were in line for POC. We were accompanied by my mother and her husband, it was their first time inWDW. Well, my husband, a seasoned WDW veteran, proceeds to "educate" them about the ride. After sharing some interesting info, he then comes out with, "well, some of these rides were built in the 40's":sad2: Uh-huh. The rest of the trip EVERY ride we got on we'd say, "Oh, this ride was built in the 40's" He would get so mad at us! Later he said, "I knew it wasn't built in the 40's, I was just trying to make the point that some of the rides are old." Sure dear, whatever.:rolleyes2

[nopdwife]

Okay this is really funny but a little crude so if that is not your humor type please scroll past.

This was my first trip to dw on our first day we stopped by TOT before we went to dinner. I've heard that disney pipes smells on certain rides so we were in the boiler room waiting to board when I take a big whiff and said,"Wow, it smells like somebody died in here!" My dh bf started busted out laughing it wasn't until after the ride that he told me no he had just passed gas! I couldn't understand why everyone was laughing at me but now I know.:sad2:





:lmao: :rotfl: That is something my DH would do! I'll have to be careful when we go in May.

[duffy]

We had just finished watching Fantasmic, the show at MGM. Throngs of people, all started plodding towards the exits. Slowly we shuffled along, jostling for space, trying to stay together. And then someone said, "Moo."

Someone else laughed, and mooed back. Then slowly the whole crowd started "mooing" at each other. Then someone got scared at a loud noise and we stampeded over a cliff. :rolleyes1


:rotfl: No, we didn't really stampede.

[snusnu]

Last November, we were in line for the Jungle Cruise, and a particularly loud mother, daughter and grandmother were in line behind us. They kept stopping and waiting and looking behind them as though members of their party were missing. The mother's cell phone then rang and she told the caller (her husband, I think), that they were holding a place in line for them and to hurry. She hung up, and told her mother in law that the boys had just gotten off of the Pirates of Penzanze. My DH and I started to laugh, and wanted to ask her if she liked an ingenious paradox and if her husband knew equations simple and quadratical.

Reminds me of some of the disinformation on DisneyLies.com:

Walt Disney World opened in 1950 as Walt Disney's biggest project -- and it soon became his biggest failure. The world wasn't ready for Disney's grand vision. They didn't want to spend the money, they didn't want to spend the time, and by God they didn't want to have to go to hot, sticky, buggy, hurricane-infested Florida on their vacation. After spending huge amounts of time and money (more than $15,000, or $6.7 billion in inflation-adjusted 2006 dollars), Disney had to admit that his pride and joy was a boondoggle and close up shop.

Not one to wallow in defeat, Disney purchased some land in California, determined to make a go of his theme-park idea by doing the whole thing on a smaller, more manageable scale. Disneyland proved to be an instant hit, and it gave Disney the funds he needed to give his Florida project a second lease on life.

The next time around, many of the mistakes that had been made in building the resort were fixed. A hotel was built so that guests would have somewhere to stay. Restrooms were installed in the theme park. The whole place was wired for electricity. Bigger, better, more likely to stay in working order attractions were built, using materials that wouldn't rot away in a matter of months in Florida's humidity. And, perhaps most important of all, the swamps were drained so that everything could be built on dry land and the gators could be better kept under control.

The renewed resort opened in 1971, and although Walt Disney himself was no longer alive, he still considered it one of his greatest achievements.

My first visit to WDW back in 77 with my sister and parents. We were in HM with my dad and I in one doombuggy. Dad thought he'd "scare" my mom and leaned waaayyy over and banged on the buggy in front of us and yelled... too bad my mom and sister were'nt in that particular buggy. :confused3 On the upside, he did get some good terrified screams out of the people inside that buggy. :scared1: At the next turn he apologized to the occupants and explained that he "thought you were my wife!" :blush: That pretty much sums up my dad right there. :laughing: :surfweb:

[tony609]

This wasn't something overheard BUT I remember it and we all still think its funny. Many years ago at Disney we were at a buffet...it was me then 16,my best friend also 16 and my mom and dad. My friend and i filled our plates and sat down. My mom started laughing and said something to my dad and he started laughing. My friend and I were like what? Whats so funny" My mom says to me "Tony, what are you going to do with all that mint Jelly?" I said thats jell-o.....I was wrong. and she said to My friend "Kelly, what are you going to do with all that butter"...she said "its not butter its bananana pudding"...she was wrong and mom was right again. :goodvibes

[dameodie]

Not WDW related, but I think this thread is cursed. I finished reading the whole thing (!!!) and yesterday this gem comes out of my mouth...

We had rented Alice in Wonderland for the girls to see, which we were going to watch after dinner. DSD4 runs into the kitchen and says "Carrie! Puss in Boots is in Shrek 3!" Now, I haven't been watching TV much lately, so I didn't know they were running trailers for this already. My brain was focused on analizing her behavior and wondering how she knew that... my split-second conclusion being...

"Did you just put the movie in? That's for after supper..."

ARRRRGH! Stupid brain!! There's not going to be a Shrek trailer on a Disney movie!!!!

:laughing:

Another amusing story...this one much more tied to WDW.

Back before CRT was CRT and it was King Stephen's Royal Banquet Hall (which always bugged me!) we went to the character meal there. My sister Kim, brother Craig, and I all had our picture taken with Cinderella. My mother was not in the picture at all (Her name is Barbara, the names are important later).

This was back in the day when the Disney Channel was fairly new (as in it was still a pay channel!). They had segments between the shows where they would post pictures that people would send into them (this was before the internet too, so seeing random people's family pictures was more of a novelty!) Well, my parents being my parents, figured that a picture of the kids with Cinderella was a shoe-in to get on TV. They were right.

Every picture included a caption with the people's names, and where they were from. I forget how we knew we'd be on, but we knew and were watching for it. So up pops our picture - remember, it was just me, my sister, brother, and Cindy. My mother must have put her name on the entry somewhere however, because the caption beneath our picture said:

"Carrie, Kim, Craig, and Barbara K_________, Sometown, US"

For months, my dad was calling my mom "Barberella"...

[dameodie]

Okay here's one that fits more with the original intent of the thread...

My fiancee and I went to Disneyland last summer when we were in CA. By his tone, it was clear that he'd thought long and hard about this when he said it...

"You know, most of the Disney movies I can think of are represented here in some form... can you think of any that arn't?"

I forget which ones I came up with, but there were a couple.

"I thought of one!" he says, obviously proud of himself. "Song of the South!"

After I got over my laughing fit, I took him on Splash Mountian :D

Last time we where at WDW we where heading to POTC when whe heard a little girl say in a very southern voice say ,"Diddy can we ride that there caribbean ride agian" we busted out laughing. So everytime we go to disney we say to our dad, Diddy can we ride that there caribbean ride agian. :rotfl2:

[JazzySteph]

I have 2

While at Epcot I was passing by Canada and I overheard this man say to his wife...

"Look honey, we must be in India look just look at the Indian totem poles!"

:sad2: The sad thing is the people seemed to be "with it" and and normal. I guess whatever school they went didn't have a very good geography teacher!

Also while at DTD at the World of Disney store a few weeks ago there was this little girl who must of been angry about something and she was walking around the store saying..

"Mickey! Where are you?? We need to have a talk!"

:laughing: It was so cute and funny. She was just stomping around the store looking for Mickey!

[mistyt]

While I was on the College Program I heard quite a few good ones at FOLK and ITTBAB

1. A mother was very persistent telling a fellow CM that her and her daughter had to be in the very first row of ITTBAB to see. The CM told the lady that the theater was designed so everyone had an equal view of the screen to which the lady replied "Really? Do they show it on the ceiling?":confused:

2. One day a lady accidentally ran over her grand daughters foot with an ECV. Along with a few other cast members we were checking on the little girl, making sure everything was okay and the grandmother said "It's okay, a few years ago I broke my leg over at MK so she can't be in that much pain.":sick:

3. MY FAVORITE! I was walking towards the backstage area behind the bathrooms in camp minnie mickey when a little girl about 6 came running out of the bathroom crying in hysterics. I ask her if everything was okay to which she responded between sobs and gasps:
"I was going to the bathroom, and I was trying to go poopie, and that toilet kept flushing on me before I was finished!"
I found her dad and he informed me that she was terrified of the automatic flushing toilets. Her face was priceless and that little voice was sooooo cute!:cutie:

We were listening to the British Invasion. Some younger teens were standing right in front of us and so I could not help over hearing their conversations. I won't post the entire conversation but when they were done playing one teen said, "Disney should have these guys make a cd as these songs would probably be good enough to make it in the general public." And no he was not being funny. Based on their conversations I believe that they truly thought the British Invasion band was an entertainment group dreamed up by Disney just for the sake of the UK section of Epcot! :eek:

Over heard as I walked into EPCOT last month, "So, where's the castle?"
It was asked by a young lady, probably college age. It was all I could do, to not laugh out loud.

A few weeks ago I was riding the monorail to the TTC and the soundtrack was playing talking about how Disney makes dreams come true. So, this little girl turns to her father and in an excited voice says, "Daddy, what's your dream?" And Daddy replies in a very weary voice, "My dream is to get through this day."

I laughed out loud. :rotfl:

A few years ago my dh & I were waiting in line for TOT. Me - very reluctantly because I really don't like this ride. So we get to the front of the elevators and I asked the "elevator operator" to please let me sit in the seat that's not too scary. Without skipping a beat, he said "This is the Tower of Terror not the Tower of Happiness".

Yes, I had been on it before but I was hoping there was a seat where you don't feel the drop so much.:scared:

[TruBlu]

Mine is about TOT too...
DS4 and I decided to walk thru the lobby but exit before getting on the actual ride. DS4 knew the plan before we went in, but somehow freaked out anyway. We had to wait in line to get up to the boarding area before we could exit. Well he was screaming and crying and eventually started to beg for a "BOTTLE OF MILK-EEEE" :scared1: !!! Me, being mother of the year, could do nothing but laugh. :rotfl: He hadn't had a bottle in years! :confused3
Anyway, I finally tried to calm him down by saying "Honey, we are NOT going to ride it. I promise. Mommy is scared to ride it too. If I had to ride it I would want a bottle too." The man in line behind us leaned forward and with a sly grin whispered... "But Mommy wouldn't want MILK-EEEE in hers." :lmao: :drinking1 :lmao:

[mjh8955]

We took BIL, SIL and nephew age 4 with us one year, their first trip to WDW, first plane ride, first trip ANYWHERE. Anyway we are driving in two cars and we have dear nephew with us in our car. As soon as we left our timeshare he starts in with "Where are we going?" and we tell him "we are going to Walt Disney World to see Mickey Mouse". Two seconds pass and he asks again "but where are we going?" and we give the same answer. After a while we changed the wording but it didn't matter he just kept asking the exact same thing in total seriousness. Now I guess to a kid it seems like a LONG ride up to that ticket booth but it was even longer for us with this question that no answer could satisfy. Literally every few seconds this kid asked the same question. We were all laughing hysterically. Then instead of a logical answer my husband just burst out with "To Todd's house". And my nephew stopped and thought about it. (There is no Todd, he doesn't know any Todd, we don't know any Todd). We were all giggling while he puzzled over this. Then my husband looked in the rearview mirror at him and said "Remember when we were all over at Todd's house?" (totally goofing with him) and our nephew paused, looked out the window, turns back and said "Yeah. He had a nice dog." We totally lost it. No idea who or what he was thinking about, later his parents confirmed he had never been to a Todd's house. So now when we are nearing the gate someone starts in with "Where are we going?" and everybody replies "To Todd's House!!"

My sons first trip to WDW was back in 2000, and he would be turning 4 in less than a month. (This was an early 4th birthday present)

Our first day there, we only had about a half a day, so we decided to do MGM. My son had never been to a theme park, and had never ridden anything other than a Merry-Go-Round.

As we enter MGM, he hears the screams...and we headed toward TOT. He was thrilled and begged to go on. He BARELY made the height requirement, and I really wasn't sure this would be his best ride...but we went for it.

He was a trooper, held on tight and didn't say a word through the whole ride.

As we exited, he had the most precious look on his face (one of my most prized Disney photos is just after we left TOT that day.)

We asked him what he thought, if he had had fun?!

He looked up, completely breathless and said "I loved it, it was GREAT! But I don't ever, EVER want to go on it again!!"

Hehehehehe...:laughing:

Well, the funniest things I have ever heard are my own family and we still laugh about them. One of them is embarrassing and the other is a "you had to be there" type of thing.

The embarrassing one: It was Christmas time at DW 2002. The crowds were really thick and the lines were long and we were all grouchy. We were walking to Epcot from Beach Club and and we were all tired and snappy with each other. I had had enough and I blurted out "We are just like the Osbornes - except they LIKE each other!" At the time everyone just stood there like "Oh no she did not say that..." I'm embarrassed that that came out of my mouth. Now we laugh about it all the time.

The "had to be there" one - another grouchy night. Everyone tired, we are trying to get back to the Beach Club from AKL where we had eaten at Boma. And DH is paying NO attention to the signs and driving right past where he's supposed to turn and I'm getting impatient. I hadn't been talking at all and then I saw the sign that said EPCOT - our exit - and he was just about to pass it AGAIN and I quickly said "EPCOT" - except I hadn't been talking and it came out in a froggy voice.

Neither of those were funny THEN, but we are constantly laughing about it now. When we are all together someone will say "EPCOT!" in that froggy voice and we all start cracking up and I'm sure people think we are nuts!

[dwelty]

I can add one from Disneyland. This is one I heard all the time as a Cast Member. Can you tell me how to get to "Magic Mountian" ? (they always meant either Splash Mountian or Space Mountian) but it was really funny because there is a Six Flags park in So California by that name.
I used to tell them to get on I 5 and go north about 60 miles. You should have seen the confused looks I got.

[HallGirl]

I finally finished reading this thread and I have to say there are lots of funny stories here. I have one to tell, but I don't know if it's really funny or it's one of those "had to be there" kind of things. This requires some set up:

My family (me, my twin sister, mom, dad) went to WDW in March, attending the Pirate and Princess Party on March 8. My sister and I were determined to meet characters (we're 21). We spent the whole day at MK and the two of us decided to go to the Hall of Fame to meet the princesses in the morning. Now, we're ready for the party, wearing the same shirt that says "Pirates" on the front. We meet Snow White, Cinderella, and Belle. We love Cinderella and Belle the best but as far as face characters go Snow White is our favorite to talk to. She asked us if we were having a good time and every time we meet her she asks what we have ridden (and we never have a quick response). So we told her that we did Buzz. She asked who won (my sister did) and said that I should get some tips from Buzz so I can do better.

So, we go back to the Hall of Fame that night for the party. There is a lady-in-waiting telling everyone how to greet the princesses. She sees us and does a double take, then says something like "oh, there are two of you! I thought my eyes were going bad!" (I wonder what people in the line thought because she had a microphone on and they couldn't see her) We're in the line to meet Snow White and her prince and when we go into the room the lady-in-waiting comes with us. She shouts at Snow White and the Prince, while they are visiting with a little kid, that there are two of us and there is nothing wrong with their eyes. My sister and I are in giggles about that. By then the doors to the room have shut and the lady says quietly to the door, pounding on it lightly "Let me out!"

We finally get to meet Snow White and her Prince. Prince signs our autograph books and hands them to Snow White. She says "no, I met them earlier today and already signed their books." So I look at her face and sure enough we did meet her. The first thing that came out of my mouth was "I thought I recognized you!" Luckily we were the last ones in before their break or I might have been more embarrassed that I didn't "recognize" Snow White before. :rolleyes1 She did ask us what we did after we left and we had to think about that.

Another quick character story: We met Mary Poppins at the UK in Epcot. She asked us if we were sisters and several other questions. We picked that moment to answer her in unison for every single question. So Mary Poppins says something like "My goodness, you really are twins!"

I understand completely!

Now, I try very hard to be understanding, and not give someone a hard time when they ask for directions to the "Spook House" or "Pooh's Honey Ride" or "Caribbean Pirates". But it's a lot harder to figure out that they may mean "The Disney-MGM Studios" when they say "Universal Studios", or "Splash Mountain" when they say "Space Mountain" (no joke, happened to me Sunday).

[tony609]

I still remember this after, like 6 years....

This little boy, about 4, was in line with his dad to get a drink or something at a cart in tomorrowland. The little boy was complaining that he was tired and his feet hurt.....just on and on. Very calmly the dad looked at his son, bent down to his level and said" Do you see all the people in this park?" his little boy said yes. Then the dad replies " All these people are tired and there feet hurt too." My friend and I just busted out laughing. It was great. The kid stopped too.

She just meant that she didn't wear t-shirts that have iron-on pictures on them. I think it was a little wrong to say what you said. It did sound a little sarcastic. Sorry.


The t-shirts at The Disney Store aren't ironed on. I just want to clear that up so people don't think The Disney Store is selling cheap ironed on things. They are very well made.

This happened about 11 years ago, and it wasn't something someone said but still funny. You know how the sidewalk splits right after you get off the monorail at MK? Well, there's a big yellow trashcan right where the sidewalk splits into 2 lines. One oblivious mother was holding her toddler's hand and smacked him right into the trashcan without knowing it was there. My whole family was behind them and almost wet our pants. Our whole trip we were all running straight into trashcans. I wonder what everyone around us thought of us. I still giggle about it every time I think of it.

Another funny moment- My mom, dad, and I were walking back to our room at POR from the food court. Right after one of the bridges is a huge hole. My dad didn't realize it was there, and fell flat out on the sidewalk. We all busted out laughing when we realized he was still tightly holding his refillable mug, which he treasures! Funniest moment of my life.

[tony609]

Oh, I have to share this. It wasn't funny at the time...but then again it was. At least to my sick group.

I was with friends and we were eating somewhere, I think in MK. This little boy, very cute..about 3yrs old...was walking around and not sitting at the table despite his parents efforts. He had a squeeze ketchup bottle in his hands, don't know why. he kept looking at my friends mom, smiling and laughing..she was smiling at him, talking to him. Then he walked over to her and squirted her on the arm with the ketchup bottle and walked away. My friends Mom was shocked, we all were for about 10 seconds then we all busted out laughing. How random was that!

[Kate-n-sam]

After weeks of build up to our trip, we finally landed at MCO after a very long day of travel. My 3 year old son looks around and immediately starts pouting and sulking.

"Thith ithn't Dithney Woowd, thith is a dumb aiwpowt" Oh, the disappointment!

It was so hilarious at the time, we still razz him about it. It was the funniest thing I've heard (not quite in the parks)...as if the jetway let's you out into the middle of fantasyland. Wouldn't that be great?

Well, WDW used to feature the next best thing: A STOLport (Short Take-Off and Landing airport) located near the MK Parking Lot. If you had deep enough pockets, you could fly into Orlando, then transfer to a commuter aircraft that would fly you directly into the World.

Thanks to all who have posted with their funny stories.

We aren't headed to WDW until August, but DH and DS10 are getting ready! Last night DH was watching one of the Travel Channel shows, and thought Cinderella's glass "chariot" was really neat!

Later, my DS10 informed me he wanted to do "Interventions" at Epcot. So much for us drinking our way around the world.:)

3. MY FAVORITE! I was walking towards the backstage area behind the bathrooms in camp minnie mickey when a little girl about 6 came running out of the bathroom crying in hysterics. I ask her if everything was okay to which she responded between sobs and gasps:
"I was going to the bathroom, and I was trying to go poopie, and that toilet kept flushing on me before I was finished!"
I found her dad and he informed me that she was terrified of the automatic flushing toilets. Her face was priceless and that little voice was sooooo cute!

I would swear that this was my niece, but her parents won't take her to WDW b/c they are too cheap...so sad...:sad2:

She use to freak out when having to use the auto-flush toilets! (As a side note for other who kids are the same way, put your hand over the sensor and hold it there BEFORE the child sits and hold it there until they are finished...quite a pain, but less traumatic for everyone involved! ;) )

As far as her parents go...they REALLY are too cheap! My DSIL thinks her daughter won't even remember it, so why bother! (She is 11.) :sad2:

[stepdisney]

Two years ago, my DS was just a teeny tiny too short to get on the Rockin Rollercoster. My husband gets this idea to put some tissue in his shoes to make up the difference. After returning to the line my son runs up to the CM who had measured him and said, "check me again, I got taller in the bathroom" We just walked by smiling but my son was screaming "but the toilet paper mom, you fixed it with the toilet paper. The CM cracked up.

I have recently learned that post it notes over the sensors work much better than trying to squish into a stall with a scared child..

My DD was the opposite- we visited WDW when she was 3, and she had never been on an automatic toilet before. We were at 'Ohana, having breakfast, when she needed to go to the bathroom. We got in there, and she did her thing.

When she finished and stood up, the potty flushed automatically. Her eyes got real big, then she smiled and turned to me. She exclaimed loudly, "MOMMY!! Even the POTTIES are magic at DISNEY WORLD!!!" For the rest of the vacation, she had to try out every bathroom we passed, just to experience the "magic potties".

Mine is about TOT too...
DS4 and I decided to walk thru the lobby but exit before getting on the actual ride. DS4 knew the plan before we went in, but somehow freaked out anyway. We had to wait in line to get up to the boarding area before we could exit. Well he was screaming and crying and eventually started to beg for a "BOTTLE OF MILK-EEEE" :scared1: !!! Me, being mother of the year, could do nothing but laugh. :rotfl: He hadn't had a bottle in years! :confused3
Anyway, I finally tried to calm him down by saying "Honey, we are NOT going to ride it. I promise. Mommy is scared to ride it too. If I had to ride it I would want a bottle too." The man in line behind us leaned forward and with a sly grin whispered... "But Mommy wouldn't want MILK-EEEE in hers." :lmao: :drinking1 :lmao:

I was at Magic Kingdom last weekend were a Guy was asking a cashiers if she could send a package to the front gate the cashier said she would be happy to when the guy said it was stuff he just did not want to carry any more like his camera and a jacket he had brought with him. When the cashier advised that she could only send package bought in the park the guy stormed off cusing and yelling this really is the happiest place on earth.

Last September DH and I were eating lunch at the Crystal Palace. We were seated next to a couple and their 5 or 6 year old DD who had brought a purse. Pooh came by and she hugged him, got his autograph and a picture and then proceeded to show him the contents of her purse. Beads, a couple of pennies, maybe some candy...I can't remember all of it now. Of course, he nodded, acted interested, waved and then went on to the next table. Next came Piglet. Same thing--hug, autograph, picture, contents of purse. Next was Eeyore--hug, autograph, picture, contents of purse. Next was Tigger--same thing only this time she tried to give him her pennies. It was so adorable. :cutie: I guess Tigger was her favorite of the four.

[mill4023]

He looked up, completely breathless and said "I loved it, it was GREAT! But I don't ever, EVER want to go on it again!!"
Hehehehehe...:laughing:

:rotfl2:
That's exactly what our son(4 at the time) said when we took him on Space Mountain at DL.

[mtakac]

We were in the magic kingdom near the castle, and there was a horse with its handler. A child started to run over to the horse and the mother grabbed the child and screamed, "Don't touch it, it might have rabies." The handler assured them that the horse had all of its shots and was NOT rabid. It's a good thing. We already have to worry about birds stealing food but rabid horses would just be too much!:rotfl2:

9 year old son to mid-30's parents as they approach the Rockin' Roller Coaster: "Mom, who is Aerosmith?"

[bekkiz]

Two that make me crack up every time I think about them

1. A 3-4 year old boy on the bus passing MGM. "Mommy, do I have to go on the Terror of Tower? I don't think it's a good idea to go on the Terror of Tower!" (said is a very worried little boy voice. My friend and I just about lost it on the bus, and called it the Terror of Tower for the rest of the week!)

2. My MOM calls the Carousel of Progress the "Wheel of Continuum." I can barely type I'm laughing so hard thinking about it. Seriously. Eyes watering, the whole thing.

:rotfl: That's hilarious. On our very first trip DD 3 at the time insisted on riding Dinosaur at AK. Well she was almost tall enough and we got to the CM and she measured her, well she had on a pair of little sandals w/ little heels on. And proceeds to stand on her tip toes. The CM let her ride.:goodvibes

I can imagine you guys entering MK and your mom saying, "Let's go to Wheel of Continuum". It sounds like some really technical device that's keeping the earth spinning or something. :rotfl:

At Le Cellier a precocious little kid asked the waiter, "How big is the steak?" The waiter replied, "It's about the size of your head, but not as thick."

[dr&momto2boys]

On a bus to one of the parks we witnessed this interaction between a little girl and her mother:

Mom: "Where did you get that gum?"
Girl: (No answer)
Mom: "Did you get that from under the seat?" (Reaching to take it out of her daughter's hand.)
Girl: (Quickly pops it in her mouth and smiles big as she starts to chew!)

While riding the monorail into MK for a Pirates and Princess Party a cute, and chatty little boy was seated next to DH.
Making conversation, DH asked him if he ever saw the PotC movies.
Reply:
Oh yes! I saw the box once in a store!

We learned we need to be more specific with kids and ask if they WATCHED the movie, not just saw it. :lmao:

[speedydisteen]

This happend last trip in Janaury. both came from a server at the Whispering Canyon Cafe.
1- he went over to a guest and amde him stand up. he said "this man is under the impression that dining at WDW is cheap!":laughing: everyone did that.
2- there was another WDW cm at the restaurant inspecting. the same waiter went over to a microphone and said "All men in suits please return to the office, All men in suits please return to the office" then he looked over and the guy in the suit was standing right there! Then he said "I wasn't talking about you" then he got up and started walking and said "it wasn't me!" the guy in the suit just about fell over laughing!:lmao:

[HockeyKat]

I haven't read this whole thread yet but I feel a big chunk of my day tomorrow is already spoken for...

I have a few:

1) We were waiting in line for Dinosaur and Bill Nye comes on and says "Hi! I'm Bill Nye the Science Guy" (or something like that). The kid in front of us, about 5-6 yrs old, says disgustedly, "I *hate* Bill Nye." :lmao:

2) A wee little girl, about 2-3, was trying to be convinced into an inner tube in a lazy river (at BB, I think) and her response was, "... but it has a HOLE in it"

3) Two tiny kids in a stroller throwing up their hands and yelling WHEE!! as their dad pushed them down a hill.

[GrowingUpDisney]

Not a comment, but a funny scene...we saw this "Ken & Barbie" couple with their little boy. He was in a stroller all decked out in freshly ironed khaki shorts and freshly ironed polo shirt - hair combed and all...well, he was eating Mickey ears (ice cream) and they had him covered from head to tow in napkins and kept stopping to wipe his hands any time the ice cream dripped! We laughed so hard! I mean, come on...let the kid get dirty - it's Disney World for God's sake!

[Miz Diz]

No way! That is just wrong...

I have debated posting this b/c, well it really is NOT funny, but what makes it funny is the memories I share with my BFFs. It was wrong, but we just didn't have a clue what to do at the time. The good thing is we still laugh about it...

During the summer of 1988, 2 of my BFF's and I went to WDW with one of the BFF's parents. (They had time share in Sarasota that we stayed at for 2 weeks and we went to MK for one day...awesome, awesome summer!)

Anyway...the 3 of us had the opportunity to have a photo taken with Chip and Dale. We stood beside and between them...so it was girl - munk - girl - munk - girl... While my BFF's mom was photographing, us Chip and Dale had their hands with a firm grips on our arses! :eek: The mom wanted us to stay for a few more secs and get more pics, she was very adamant with her New York accent (all 3 of us were Texas girls and always had a good laugh about her accent...she is a wonderful lady! :hug: ) but we were quite done...

I have not been able to watch Chip and Dale cartoons without thinking of the "perverted chipmunks" for almost 20 years. :rolleyes:


I always thought Chip and Dale were usually female because of the height requirement for the costumes. Mickey is almost always female.

[tink576]

After weeks of build up to our trip, we finally landed at MCO after a very long day of travel. My 3 year old son looks around and immediately starts pouting and sulking.

That is so funny! My parent's said I did the same thing when I went to Disney for my first trip at age 3...apparently I was quite upset that the plane "broke" because we didn't land where it told us it would...:rotfl2:

^^ When they say "home of WDW"

[pkondz]

3) Two tiny kids in a stroller throwing up their hands and yelling WHEE!! as their dad pushed them down a hill.

Just had a flash of what that must've looked like. :rotfl2:
Funny how some kids aren't nearly as blown away by Disney as their parents but can still love something as simple as that. :goodvibes

[Miz Diz]

Last time we where at WDW we where heading to POTC when whe heard a little girl say in a very southern voice say ,"Diddy can we ride that there caribbean ride agian" we busted out laughing. So everytime we go to disney we say to our dad, Diddy can we ride that there caribbean ride agian. :rotfl2:

When on the HM a few years back I was riding in the cart with my dad. In the cart infront was a little girl (about 5-6 yo) with her dad. When the line 'we have 999 guests staying here but we have room for 1 more, any volenteers?' came on the dad shouted 'YESSSS we have one little girls here!!!' Well the girl starts screaming 'NOOOO daddy I don't want to live here!!!' really loudly.

So as we were getting off, the dad and little girl join the mum and son (about 8-9 yo) from the cart infront of them and all walked together to the exit. The boy was teasing his sister about how scared she was and generally being mean (like most brothers are). The little girl then stopped dead in her tracks (we we're right behind them) and said 'Daddy, I think I will sign up to live in the scary house, anythings better than living with him!!'

I thought it was hysterical

[David R]

I always thought Chip and Dale were usually female because of the height requirement for the costumes. Mickey is almost always female.

Not always. I know some of Chip and Dale's best friends and they are male.

[MELSMICE]

Heard a few days ago at the MK -

A woman waiting to view Wishes on Main Street - "Why don't some of these people go home. They can't all be here to view the fireworks!"

A son was talking to his mom non-stop in the bathroom stall. Finally, mom in a deep southern accent said, "Would you please stop talking & concentrating on pooping so we can see the fireworks show!". :rotfl:

Well, I cannot tell you wheter they were actually males or females...:confused3 ...it was in the summer of 1988. Y'all will have to debate that ;) , I just thought it was funny and would share.

disney related story:

I was watching TV and then an advert came on for The Last Mimzy and it mentioned if you go to the film's official website, you could win a trip to the Epcot Space Center in Florida. Well i thought that can't be right so i visited the site and it said "Enter this competition now and you could win a chance to visit Disneyland's Epcot Center in Florida".

[WendyBirdGirl]

I was in Liberty Square the other day when a woman walked by headed for Fantasyland. She stopped and asked me... "Am I headed in the right direction for Typhoon Lagoon?"

I explained to her that she'd have to exit the park and either drive or take Disney transportation to Typhoon Lagoon, and she got mad and started yelling about how she had paid extra to be able to use the water slides...

Don't you hate it when it's an official thing like that and they can't even get it right? A couple months ago I got an email from Disney Insider, which comes from the official Disney website. It had a link to a tips site about “Planning the perfect Disney vacation”. I figured it was worth checking out. Well, I clicked on it and it took me to the familyfun.go website and looked pretty interesting.

Well, you wouldn't BELIEVE the amount of inaccurate/outdated information on that site. It said it was updated last in 2005 (seems a bit strange to me that Disney would link you to such an out of date site, but anyways..), so okay, I understand that’s why Everest wasn’t on there. But it was insisting that morning EMH’s were 90 minutes. It also talked about going to Alien Encounter. Then it suggested you take a break in your day at the MK and go over to River Country to relax. I read about 2 pages and got so frustrated that I just left. Come on – this site is sponsored by Disney and has completely out of date info?

Not always. I know some of Chip and Dale's best friends and they are male.

In 2002 I at was MGM chatting with a CM that I worked with while on the College Program in 1999. While speaking with him, a girl, whom I later found out was "friends" with Chip, walked up to speak with him. I then found out that her fiancée was "friends" with Dale. I found that to be somewhat humorous.

Also, while working at MGM in 1999, I met a male Mickey - rare but it can occur.

Yeah, (FYI: I'm a she) I've noticed on many posts by other people that instead of saying that someone is playing Chip, ect... people say someone is "friends" with Chip - since as far as Disney is concerned - Chip is real, right? ;) How could someone dress up as Chip or play Chip if Chip is real? :rolleyes:

[Buzz Litebeer]

Oh, heavens no. CMs who are "friends" with a character work to help bring that character to life. However... and this is vitally important... We do not have cast members "dress up" as our characters. Those ARE the very same characters you've seen and loved in Disney's feature films.

[julie007]

I was waiting on my DH this past December to come out of the restroom and I am a native Floridian. There was a family I am assuming from the north having a snack next to me.

They were smacking their legs. The bugs were Love Bugs mind you. (They don't bite) During the Love Bug killing spree ( Iguess they thought they bite) the dad states that Love Bugs are only found in Florida. The little girl looked up and asked "do the Love Bugs kiss eachother". It was so cute.

Not a comment but the entire day I saw "out of towners" smacking the killer Love Bugs! LOL

To get back on topic, this reminds me of something that happened to me last week. I'm standing outside an attraction when I'm approached by three boys; one is about ten, the others are older teens. The ten year old speaks:

Excuse me... are you familiar with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride?

Well, I know more than some about it, but less than others. What can I do for you?

Ok, you know how there are three Jack Sparrows in it?

No. There's only one. He moves around through the town as you do.

...So he's real???

Of course he is. He's certainly not a Figment of Imagination. Figment's in Epcot.

Um... ok. (To brothers) Told you he was real!

(After they leave, to Cast Member standing next to me who's trying hard to keep from laughing: ) So, do you think he meant to ask if Jack was alive?

[Buzz Litebeer]

...They were smacking their legs. The bugs were Love Bugs mind you. (They don't bite) During the Love Bug killing spree ( Iguess they thought they bite) the dad states that Love Bugs are only found in Florida. The little girl looked up and asked "do the Love Bugs kiss eachother". It was so cute.

I would have said, "Um, princess... they're not kissing. They're making new little love bugs. Your parents will explain it when you're older."

Writer-director Kevin Smith was at the MK last October for one of the MNSSHPs and I got to overhear him rather bluntly -- and suprisingly explicitly -- tell his daughter exactly what the "Love Bugs" were doing. Sadly, forum decorum prevents me from repeating his exact words.

I kind of like Hershey pa :laughing: 2 weeks after I got home from WDW this past July, I spent a week in Hershey. I had to get "It's a small world" out of my head and replace it with..."hersheys chocolate, hershey's cocolate hershey's chocoate world, wherever I go, not matter how far, there'll always be a hershey bar, hershey's chocolate hershey's chocolate, hershey's great american chocolate bar!" This song makes me miss the old chocolate world ride, before they added those dumb singing cows :sad2:

wow this is really off topic...but i must agree about the singing cows.
I work at hershey and no way can WDW and hersheypark can be compared...no way
Love them both...but they are totally different

Not heard in the parks but Disney related:

My husband and I went to Jamestown in Virginia this weekend. In the museum they have a 15 minute movie about Jamestown, the settlers and native inhabitants. For those of you unfamiliar with American history the story of Jamestown includes the historical figures of John Smith and Pochahontas.

Later in the day I saw a woman coming out of the theater. She turned to her husband and children and said, "Wow, that Disney movie was really inaccurate!" I just found this really funny. Hmm, a cartoon that did not depict a completely factual interpretation of history! Really! The museum film had conspicuously left out the talking tree, singing and animal companions.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
As funny as that is, it is kind of scary that people actually believe that cartoons that have that kind of stuff is factual. My DS's fourth-grade teacher actually showed Pochontas when they were studying Virginia history, and then they had a discussion about how the film did not depict what actually happened, and how life was so different back then.

DS6 was telling his little sister not to be scared of the characters. He told her not to worry because they are just people dressed up. I looked at him with a shocked look on my face and said, "You mean their not real?" He looked at me and said, "Oh, no mommy, they are real." Like he didn't mean to ruin it for me.

This past week I was at the Coronado Springs pool, resting after a long day at the parks, and I heard a Grandfather telling his grandson that they had changed the name of the Haunted Mansion ride after the movie came out. It used to be called the "Haunted House" ride. Then he proceeded to tell him that they also changed Pirates of the Caribbean after the movie came out, it use to be an open air boat ride with very few pirates.

A friend of mine had never been to Disney...or any other theme park for that matter before...and after getting off the tram at the TTC she seriously said, "wow, that was great!"...she thought the parking lot tram was the best ride...we then had to explain to her that it was not a ride and that she hadn't actually even reached the theme park yet...

When on the HM a few years back I was riding in the cart with my dad. In the cart infront was a little girl (about 5-6 yo) with her dad. When the line 'we have 999 guests staying here but we have room for 1 more, any volenteers?' came on the dad shouted 'YESSSS we have one little girls here!!!' Well the girl starts screaming 'NOOOO daddy I don't want to live here!!!' really loudly.

So as we were getting off, the dad and little girl join the mum and son (about 8-9 yo) from the cart infront of them and all walked together to the exit. The boy was teasing his sister about how scared she was and generally being mean (like most brothers are). The little girl then stopped dead in her tracks (we we're right behind them) and said 'Daddy, I think I will sign up to live in the scary house, anythings better than living with him!!'

I thought it was hysterical

:lmao: I can relate! My DSis and I had a rough go for a few years way back. I love HM and would've gladly moved in. :surfweb:

Duh! Obviously he has NO idea what he's talking about!

That reminds of the time when I was at work at my Disney Store and this father said to his son while they were walking out, "Walt Disney created all of this and he's frozen now".

Actually... it was once known simply as the "Haunted House".

According to Doombuggies.com:

Once the Haunted Mansion's exterior facade was built at Disneyland to prepare the park's guests for the attraction yet to come, it stood unoccupied for most of the decade. As the effects and storyline were continuing in development, the title "Haunted Mansion" hadn't yet been finalized. As a result, there are a few remnants of that era, such as this puzzle (pictured, below) which portrays Mickey Mouse and Goofy within a fully-developed scene of the attraction before the title was even decided upon. Paul Frees even began recording some trial dialogue tracks as the "Ghost Host" that refer to the attraction as the "Haunted House."

http://img1.picturewizard.com/132400B/0/HauntedHousePuzzle.jpg

(Reference: http://doombuggies.com/history2.htm)

I can personally further confirm this -- I have seen Disneyland park maps from the early 60s that clearly list the future site of the Haunted Mansion as "Haunted House" (and Pirates of the Caribbean as "Wax Museum").

So the guest was right about the name -- but not the circumstances surrounding the change.

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.

Well, we should try to keep this lovely thread alive. I'll bite, but these may be more along the lines of "you had to be there" situations.

1. It's almost time for Toon Town to close down for the evening, so DH suggests we try to get on Barnstormer before it stops running. Well, because everything was about the be closed there weren't any kids around. There was zero line and we walked right on. It was a pretty good ride, but very short. As we get off this teenager who had been riding behind us shouts to his friend, "Wow! That ride was totally worth no wait." We had to laugh because he was right. Nice enough ride, but not worth a long wait.

2. My senior class went to WDW for graduation. My friends and I ended up in the pool most evenings (we had a curfew) and played this game we made up using a beach ball. Anyways, I dived for the ball at the same time as one of my guy friends, who I'd known since kindergarten. We both crash beneath the surface. In the confusion, he gets the ball...and I get my bikini top ripped off. Well, I kept my head and managed to get the thing back on before I needed to surface for air. But I then immediately accused him (in a friendly teasing way) of ripping my top off. He denied it (but with what I noticed was a guilty manner). This went back and forth for a little while until all my other friends had stopped playing to listen. Well, you know how you always think of something funny later that you should have said at the time? This was one time when I actually came up with something appropriate. "Fine," I said, "The most exciting moment of your life and you just missed it."

[mom_of_tinkerbell1]

...speaking of stupid things I'VE said at Disney...

I went to Disney in 2004 after not being there since I was 12 in 1976. This trip, I was with my DD15, my Sis, her DH and my nephews, DN8 and DN3. We went on Pirates of the Carribean, and I THOUGHT I remembered it well from riding it was a child. Apparently not. My DN3 and I were in the front row of our boat and I was caught completely by surprised by the flume. Now, it's a short, tame little flume, right? I didn't think so, and shouted, yes shouted, "Holy S---!" at the top of my lungs as we plunged down. My cute little nephew calmly turned around and told his Mom in his sweet little voice, "Mommy, Aunt Backy said a bad word!" I thought I would die!

Later that same trip, we were returning to All Star Sports after a wet rainy day at Epcot. We had the bus pretty much to ourselves, and it was one of the handicap busses with bench seating that faces the windows. My DN3 says to his Daddy as the bus pulled away from the bus stop, "Look, Daddy. The bus is driving itself!" He couldn't see the driver behind the barrier! He really thought the place was magic! The few other people on the bus thought it was hysterical!

What a fun thread!

I was at a scrapbook crop on Saturday and a lady was telling me about this Scrapbooker Dream Vacation and she says it's normally held at the resort that looks like a golf ball. I say Epcot. She says no, there is a monorail, I again think Epcot, but I don't say anything and then she yells out "the Contemporary resort" She then goes on to about it looking like a golf ball(she kept saying things about epcot and how you can see the parks from there. The Disney fans in the room rolled their eyes and went back to work.

Not at Disney, but about Disney.

Yesterday I was looking through the Creative DiSigns thread with DD13 looking over my shoulder as I am looking at several Tink designs. DD13 pipers up and asks "Is that Tink just a drawing or from the movie?" I could help but laugh. "Just what do you think the Movie is dear? It's all drawings!":confused3

DD13 couldn't beleive she actually asked such a silly question.

[snusnu]

Ah! I just remembered the story I wanted to share. DH and I had just gotten off Everest and were wandering through AK, enjoying the various island habitats for primates. There was a young zookeeper in the waters of the siamang exhibit who was telling a crowd of onlookers about the play habits of the monkeys. There are a number of columns edging the lagoon around the siamangs' island, and connect to the island via ropes that the siamangs enjoy using for play. Now, they can't climb down the columns as they are engineered like bird feeders designed to keep out squirrels, with the terminus of the rope above a large platform curved slighly up. Well, one day, an older siamang had followed a young, inexperienced one to the top of a column, and the older siamang had tried to play too roughly with the younger, and the younger fell. She must have landed in the soft bushes underneath the column, and was unhurt, but probably was very confused. It was very early in the day, so the park wasn't crowded yet, so no one saw her fall or came to retrieve her. However, a guest in line for Kali River Rapids a few feet away suddenly felt a pull on her belt, only to look down and see a brown, furry face peering up at her hopefully, and a little hand holding her belt for safety. The guest had the presence of mind to remain calm and wave down the Kali CM, who radioed for help. The keeper came and took the siamang by the hand and led her back to her exhibit. While waiting for her keeper, the siamang kept a firm and trusting hold on the guest's belt and patiently bided her time. I only wish it had been me!

During our last trip, BF and I went to eat at Boma.

I have an allergy to mustard, which IPO notified Disney of when making our dining reservations. Most of the time, I don't have to ask about food, but I was making an exception for Boma, as I was unfamiliar with many of their dishes. I had heard that the chef would speak with you if you had a concern, and I really wanted that reassurance for this meal.

Our server came to our table to get drink orders, and noted that her ticket specified that I had an allergy. I told her what it was, and asked if I could see the chef, as I needed to know what to eat and what to avoid. She just stood there and looked at me, then asked, "well, if you ate, like, an ENTIRE bottle of mustard would it do anything to you?" :confused3

I didn't know what to say for a minute. Of course it would do something to be, otherwise, I wouldn't have an allergy!?! (Not to mention the fact that eating an entire bottle of mustard would probably not be really good on anyone's digestive system! :sick: ) I just smiled and told her that my throat closes up what I eat mustard (or mustard seed) in any quantity, so I would really like to see the chef. She went and got her, and it was no big deal.

Not really funny, just odd.

Love this thread, BTW. I'm still chuckling eveytime I think of "White Power" :rotfl2:

I got the opposite...when we checked into Jikos, they asked if anybody had an allergy. I said I was allergic to shellfish, since they were asking. Didn't make a note of it on the reservation as it is easy for me to avoid shellfish. I wasn't really thinking anything of it but later the Chef comes out. He opens my menu and tells me I should avoid the Durban Shrimp Curry, Pan Roasted Jumbo Scallops (and any other completely obviously shellfish-containing dishes.)

Uh...Thanks! (It's a wonder I have managed to keep myself alive this long!;) )

You'd be amazed (or perhaps not) at the number of people who go into a restaurant like Jiko and ask "Is there really shrimp in the Durban Shrimp Curry?" or "Will I be ok if order the Durban Shrimp Curry and you don't put any pieces of shrimp in my portion?" :sad2: If these seem like silly questions, remember: There is no duck in chinese duck sauce.

Seriously, though... we do it just to keep us from a lawsuit where a guest says "I told them I was allergic to shellfish and Disney negligently failed to warn me that the dish I ordered contained shellfish."

It seems silly but... <shrug> there you go.

This actually happend to my Dh and my brother. My Dh and I got married last July in Disney, and for the wedding rehersal all the bridesmaids and grooms men wore matching shirts. They were the Mickey and Minnie dressed up in wedding attire with our names underneath along with the date. Well after all the rehersals and everything the grooms men wanted to take my DH out to get a few drinks at Epcot. My DH and my brother hopped on the monorail, not thinking that they should change their shirts, since they were no longer around the whole wedding party, and they were sitting on a monorail. Well my DH and brother were talking and he could not help but notice that the couple across from them jsut kept on staring at them. Finally my Dh said, "hey hows it going?" The couple replied with a " Good and congratulations". They thought my DH and brother were the ones getting married, since my name could also pass for a mans! After my Dh explained that they were the rehersal shirts, and they were going to meet up with everyone in Epcot for some drinks, the couple was so embarrased! When they finally arrived at Epcot, to their shocked, every one had changed leaving the two of them wearing "The Happily Ever After" shirts! :tinker:

Later we (somehow) figured out he was talking about the Winnie the Pooh ride. Duh! That's exactly how I would describe it.:sad2:

She thought it through and announced, "Dis".

Maybe in the category of "I guess you had to be there", but this is something I overheard back in 1985, on our first visit to WDW. We were on the train, and a family got on and sat down near us. They all had very strong southern accents, which somehow made this funnier, so when you read this quote, you need to say it in your very best southern drawl. Little boy, probably about 10years old, to his mother, "Oh momma, I thought you said RAIN ride!"

My kids were 9 and 10 at the time, now 31 and 32. We still say this to each other, and it still makes me laugh remembering it! Thanks for the memory!

That reminded me of the night of the first day my then 4 year old spent in the Magic Kingdom (1994). As we tucked her into bed, we asked what her favorite part of Disney was...

She thought it through and announced, "Dis".

:lmao: Oddly enough, for me, my fave part is "ney". :rotfl2:

We had a couple of memorable ones from our last visit.

This one wasn't overheard but said directly to me by a CM who was ringing up my purchases at Mouse Gears in Epcot. "So--are you all just visiting?"

:rotfl2: I was trying to think up a response when DH piped up, "Oh, no, we live at Disney World--just outside the International Gateway."

I think he meant to ask where we were visiting FROM but he was distracted and I don't think he ever did realize exactly what he'd said.

Another one I did overhear at the Emporium at the MK (I don't know what it was with stores this trip!) As we were leaving I heard a man say indignantly, "HEY. All they sell here is Mickey Mouse stuff!"

Really? At Disney World? Imagine that!

[barbmouse]

Our family favorite came one afternoon at MK when a dad obviously frustrated that his kids were scared of so many of the rides, characters, etc was YELLING:mad: at the kids, "IT'S FAKE...IT'S ALL FAKE!" As we walked away, dh whispered, "Way to spread the Magic"!! We cracked up!

:rotfl: :rotfl: I'm glad I'm home alone. My family would think i'm nuts if they overheard be cracking up every minute or so!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I love it when your waiting for bus and it pulls up with where it's going on the front and on the side and someone ask the driver if this bus is going to what ever is on the front and side of the bus. That cracks me up.

A little pixie dust and... bump!

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

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

Hello Everyone, The funniest thing I heard when I was in Disney last week came from my son.

We where sitting behind Classic Hall at Pop Century waiting for my husband to bring out our food. It was our last day so we where trying to finish up our credits. For some reason today the trash cans outside where massively overflowing as where the birds. All the sudden a crow flys over and steals a waffle out of the side of the trash can and knocks it down onto the ground where this crow and about 20 others begin taking turns taking tiny little bites and then flying off to eat a few feet away. Occasionally there was a bird fight if two tried at the same time but for the most part all the crows shared the waffle with no issue. This went on for a good 20 minutes then all the sudden out of nowhere swoops down this big seagall. He lands right next to the waffle.. Looks around him as all the crows scatter a few more feet away, leans down. Picks up the waffle and flys off with it. My sons reponse "Well, That settles that doesnt it"

[adabob]

Ah! I just remembered the story I wanted to share. DH and I had just gotten off Everest and were wandering through AK, enjoying the various island habitats for primates. There was a young zookeeper in the waters of the siamang exhibit who was telling a crowd of onlookers about the play habits of the monkeys. There are a number of columns edging the lagoon around the siamangs' island, and connect to the island via ropes that the siamangs enjoy using for play. Now, they can't climb down the columns as they are engineered like bird feeders designed to keep out squirrels, with the terminus of the rope above a large platform curved slighly up. Well, one day, an older siamang had followed a young, inexperienced one to the top of a column, and the older siamang had tried to play too roughly with the younger, and the younger fell. She must have landed in the soft bushes underneath the column, and was unhurt, but probably was very confused. It was very early in the day, so the park wasn't crowded yet, so no one saw her fall or came to retrieve her. However, a guest in line for Kali River Rapids a few feet away suddenly felt a pull on her belt, only to look down and see a brown, furry face peering up at her hopefully, and a little hand holding her belt for safety. The guest had the presence of mind to remain calm and wave down the Kali CM, who radioed for help. The keeper came and took the siamang by the hand and led her back to her exhibit. While waiting for her keeper, the siamang kept a firm and trusting hold on the guest's belt and patiently bided her time. I only wish it had been me!

Aw,how sweet! I'd have loved to have been the one she was hanging onto!
