DIS RESTAURANT BOARD CONTEST! - Can You Make Us Laugh?

[pezpam]

My favorite picture (wish it was digital so I could share) is of DD during our very first character meal. Chef Mickey's and we were having a great old time. DD had never met characters before, so she was kind of learning the 'procedure' as she went. By the time Pluto came around, she knew she was going to stand up for a picture, then ask for an autograph. Well, she swivels in her chair and stands JUST as Pluto is leaning down to lick the top of her head. I swear the picture looks like Pluto is trying to EAT her head instead of lick her hair!

Our whole section cracked up as Pluto first made an "I'm sorry" gesture, then gave her a hug, then proceeded to pretend to eat her arms, shoulders, head, autograph book, pen, fork, knife....... She was laughing so hard that I cracked up and wound up laughing so hard myself that I had tears rolling down my face by the end of it.

Our last trip in Sept-Oct consisted of me DW, DD, DFIL, and DMIL. DD who was 2 at the time was thrilled to have Grandma and Papa with her. Now anyone who has eaten at 50's primetime knows how close the tables are. So while we were eating Grandma has to use the bathroom and DD just has to with her. Upon returning to the table DD announces to all the tables sitting in our area that "Grandma farted". My mother-in-law is stunned and can not believe what she just heard, so she actually looks at DD and says "What did you say?" So DD proudly and loudly repeats herself. Grandma turned three shades of red and was hysterical laughing as was almost everyone sitting within ear shot. For our next trip Grandma has made me promise that I won't make a reservation at "that restaruant"

We ate there for dinner last Monday night with D5, S8, M, D, SIL and GM. We had Uncle Tim as our waiter and the fun started the minute we sat down. We were warned about elbows on the table except for coloring and were quickly given the nicknames of Cutie Pie, Sport, High Maintenance, Sparky, Miss Elbows and Troublemaker in order from above. Uncle Tim asked if we had washed our hands and we lied and said yes. "What color is the soap?" We didn't know so we were escorted to the bathroom and told that "Mom" was going to hear that we fibbed. High way through dinner, Uncle Tim caught my SIL with her elbows on the table (see nickname above) and proceeded to pull her chair away from the table and put her in the corner. D5 and S8 laughed so hard that they had tears running down their faces. For once, they weren't the ones in trouble. Everyone in our section were laughing and pointing. We asked Tim if we could borrow the ViewMaster from the table next to us and were reprimanded for whining and then given it with the promise toreturn it when done. When our desserts arrived, the hostess walked by the table and grabbed my son's sundae and walked away saying she was hungry. After the shock disappeared, she returned it to him. He guarded it the rest of the night. My mom asked Tim to take a picture with her and he made devil horns over her hurt. When we left, our stomachs hurt not from the big dinner but from laughing so hard!

We went to Disney World for the fith time in 2005. we went to Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. We where there for dinner and it was me and my twin brother's birthday. Luckly I kept my older brother from telling. We had a waiter that my mom said looked like Dick VanDyke's brother. Well he came to our table with our drinks. He was talking to my parents when he asked my mom if she likes opra and my mom said yes. He asked what type of opra she liked. Then she confessed to ever listening to opra. Our waiter(I think his name was Mike) started singing opra right there at our table. Everybody turned to see what was happening and my moms face was as red as a cherry. Then the same waiter started singing happy birthday in opra style to the girl at the next table over.

We had the nicest waitress and she reminded us of the same old rules. she warned us about no dessert if you don't eat your veggies. I ordered the pot roast(which was excellent by the way) and my brother got the fried chicken. I ate my pot roast and my potatoes but not my carrots and green beens. Thankfully my mom ate my vegtables. But my brother was stuck with his veggies. My dad convinced him to try to smuggle his veggies into the bathroom. He wrapped his veggies in a napkin and stuffed them in his pockets. He was walking into the bathroom when our waitress stopped him and said "you did not ask to go to the bathroom." Then my dad told her to check his pockets. He was busted and had to put his nose on the wall in front of everybody. But, not before my dad got sent to the wall. I told my waitress that my dad influenced him and he had to go to the wall also. I couldn't stop laughing till we left the restuarant and got distacted by the rides.

I cant believe I am writing this......

In August 2005 my family of 10 were having dinner at the Rose & Crown, well my 6 year old in the middle of dinner say's "mom I have to p**p! Ok...... so my husband who's not to happy says "ok lets go and hurry up, no taking forever, no song and dance just p**p"
My little one is famous for taking forever to go to the bathroom, we joke its his favorite room in the house.

Ok so like 5 minutes later there back we are all kinda shocked so quickly, but they are both mad you can tell, so I say to my little guy "what's wrong"? Nothing! His dad same response............um ok....so nobody is saying anything.......

So a waitress comes by to take some plates and my husband, who wasnt done when he left, pushes his plate away and says "you can take this I am done" Now my husband licks his plate clean most meals, so of course we are all like "ok whats wrong?" his same NOTHING!
Just then my son chimes in and says "my underwear are making him sick"........What???????? to which my dear little one says "well he made me hurry so I started to soon and I told him to just throw the p**pey pants away.....but noooooooooo he put them in his pocket"
to which my husband blurts out they "but they were new vacation underware" I could have died, the waitress just turned and walked away, my family sat silent for a moment and like a dummy I said "why would you put dirty underware in your pocket" and my family lost it! thank goodness we were all done!
So trust me when my son says he has to p**p my husband just takes him and doesnt say a word, and I always take extra underware!

Sorry, I just had to chime in and say that this story made me cry and pee at the same time...lol. PRICELESS!!!

I know that you asked WDW, this actually happened on the cruise line.
We were on our first cruise and had late seating, my girls had been going all day and were exhausted, my oldest one who was 7 at the time, fell asleep during dinner. We ordered her a dessert, and we know she has a sweet tooth, it was an ice cream sundae with cherries, the dessert arrived, and it looked great. We woke her up; she looked at us like we had 2 heads and fell back asleep. We did not think much if it, as she really was tired, one year later out of the blues, she asked us why we were so mean and ordered an ice cream with black olives for her on the cruise, she went on and on, as to we knew that she did not like olives. After we stopped laughing we looked at some pictures, we do have one of her asleep next to her sundae, and she was right, it really did look like ice cream with olives. To this day we still laugh about the great olive sundae on the Disney cruise.

[Uncleromulus]

and the suprise is--WE have TWO winners!!
After your mods read and considered all the submissions, we were undecided on a clear winner. After consulting with Webmaster Pete, he was kind enough to suggest that we ought to award TWO $50.00 "Disney Dollar" prizes.
So the winners are: post #4 from tjmouse and post # 29 from problemchild718!!
Congratulations to our two winners, and a "thank you" to everyone who entered and shared their experiences!!

 

[mrp4352]

I can see why two were chosen - I couldn't decide between those two, either!

 

[tjmouse]

That's great news! Thanks so much to all of you who read my story and all of the great stories in this thread. At least we all know now that these funny things happen to other people besides us!

 

[Kaycee]

Congratulations to our two winners!! And thanks to everyone who shared a funny story with us!

 

[Mamu]

Congrats to the winners! Great stories and I laughed my head off.

This is the rest of the story of Philomena the Flamingo and her harrowing adventures at WDW.

Two night later we all had dinner at AP before MVMCP. Anyone who's eaten here knows they put little arrows in the mixed drinks. I'm a scrapbooker and save everything. So I collected all the arrows. When we returned home that evening I emptied out my backpack and put the arrows on the night stand. I'm also an early riser, so while everyone sleeps I'm up and out for a couple of hours.

When I returned from my walk the sleepy heads were getting up. I went into my room to get something, DH pretending to be sleeping. There on the floor was poor Philomena and she had been shot with all the arrows from the night before. I let out a scream and everyone can running.

Yes my DH is a practical joker.

This incident is more of a safety warning than a funny story so for the sake of guest relations and to help everyone have a safe dinner, let me begin.



My wife and I went to Walt Disney World and happened to be there over Easter Sunday. We made the trip with another couple who were together at the parks for the first time. Each couple went their separate ways during the day but in the evenings we got together to have dinner and talk about our experiences we had had. This particular day we had reservations at Chef Mickey’s. As it was Easter, the dining room was packed. We arrived and waited to be seated and watched as all of the children appeared in their Easter outfits while the mothers donned their Easter bonnets. It was a pastel overload of color throughout the restaurant. Our names were called and we were seated by a very nice young man. Since there were four of us and it was the busiest time of the dinner hour we were placed at a table in the middle of the room. We began the buffet going to get our salad and returning to the table. About this time the music began announcing that the characters were going to make their appearance shortly. Guests all around us reached for their cloth napkins and began waving them emergetically in circles above their head to the beat of the music. Since my wife and I had been to Chef Mickey’s before I too began to wave my napkin. Our dining guests had no idea what was happening. As I waved my napkin I explained that this was tradition and that Mickey would appear and dance before visiting tables and that the napkin waving helped everyone get into the mood. My friend wanted desperately to fit in so he reached for his napkin and began waving it frantically above his head. Unfortunately, he missed one small step. He forgot to remove his silverware first. As he started swinging his napkin, knives, forks, and spoons began to be hurled with great force from our table. Everyone including myself dove for cover under the table. A teaspoon hit Goofy in the head but fortunately did not do any damage. I think the 4 of us hid under the table for nearly half the meal afraid to come out and face our fellow diners. The rest of our trip we ate counter service and only used plastic utensils.
