A funny thing happened at the MK today...

[PandyPaws]

I posted this story on the DIS CON board, but thought maybe the CB'ers could use a laugh today as well...


Temperature Increase to Nine-Seventy-Five


I had an afternoon PS at Liberty Tree Tavern Today. I got to the MK with a little spare time so I made a b-line over to ride the Carousel of Progress

I entered and found a front row seat, right in the center. The theater soon filled behind me...and we were on our way...

Theeeerrrrreee's and GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL Tomorrow.....

I had to chuckle when around the third stage I think it was, the gentleman to my right fell asleep

Anyway, as the show was concluding, you know the one...the Christmas setting, where the oven blows up....just as the song is sung for the final time...a CM breaks in on the PA and says sorry, due to some technicality, we will have to watch the scene again....and the theater does not rotate, and the scene begins again...along with some chuckles from the audience....

and we settle in to watch it again.....

"Temperature increase to nine-seventy-five" Ka-Boom....the oven blows up again....then scene ends, the song begins..and the theater is..... NOT moving

The audience it totally and completely silent, as though each and every one is holding their breath...and when the animatronics start the scene again, every one breaks out in hysterical laughter....and so it goes....

Temperature Increase to nine-seventy-five.....

Ka-Boom....

Theeeere's a GREAT Big beautiful Tomorrow.....

and here we sit....

again....

...and it begins again!!!

everyone is cracking up again....

and we lose the sound....

...and people are laughing louder...

all lights and motion are still functioning, the only thing we hear is the Video game that "Grandma" is playing.....

NOW....

Audience members begin supplying the dialogue........

I am cracking up so much I can hardly breath

a young teenager in the row behind me is moaning "the song...that song...NOT THE SONG again..."

no sound at all , but oven door flies open and smoke pours out...

again





now everyone is singing at the top of their lungs...

THEEEERRRRE"S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW.....

this is THE most hysterical version of this show I have ever seen....


the exit door finally opened up, the sunlight poured in and snapped us out of whatever it was that held us glued to our seats, and we all filed out

(and you know...any of us could have gotten up at any time and left....but it was just too funny, this odd moment in time )

Oh wow!!! That is funny! That is something I would have liked to experience first hand myself (okay I am a nut, I love that ride )

 

[shep]

Glad to hear you're having fun Donna...

 

[Kermit]

CoP is fun, but getting stuck in one room is a little much. I once got stuck in the room where the power cords are hanging all over the place and all the appliances start going off. I thought I'd never get that scene out of my head.

 

[CathyCanada]

Well if I was to get stuck in one room, that would be the one I would want! Sounds hysterical!!!!
See you next week, Donna.

ROFL!!! How funny! Sounds like a fun show with a fun group.

 

[SplshMtn99]

I love that show. And we were once stuck in "time" too. Sounds like our audience had the same reaction. LOL

THERE'S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW, SHINING AT THE END OF EVERY DAY.................

 

[dianeschlicht]

You have had me falling off my chair here imagining that!

[Mamu]

Oh Donna this is so funny. Im sitting here visually picturing this scene over and over and I'm laughing hysterically.

 

[DopeyRN]

LMAO!!!! I wish I had been there...

 

[Kallison]

Dh always sleeps through this attraction.

 

[JulesMom]

Jules & I would have loved that!!!

 

[nativetxn]

Donna, sweetie??? You're showing off again, I mean still

 

[Dan Murphy]

What a great story, Donna!!!! Things like that do make it fun, don't they?????? Hilarious!!!

 

[Beth]

That reminds me of the "interactive" performances of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" that so many enjoy!

They should do that more often - for us die-hards - to let us act it out, ourselves!!

We're leaving tomorrow - we will DEFINITELY have to catch it at least once!!
