These are too funny. We have the Spanish monorail sayings memorized too. Our funny family statement was discovered last year riding Its a Small World. At the very end of the ride where all the "Goodbye" signs are in different languages, there is a sign that says "SA-WAHT! DEE KRAHP" My mom saw it and started cracking up. She even took a picture of it and framed it for my DH for Christmas last year. So our new family comment is "Say what de Crap?" whenever something doesn't go our way. I did some research on the internet for the comment. It's some kind of greeting for a male in a language I don't remember now. I really was just curious to find out if it really was a true greeting, or just some Disney joke.

I love those commercials.
I drive my family crazy because I always have to watch Sam. My friends taped a bunch of the commercials for me to watch at home. Not quite the same as being there.
Here in CT we have Bob's discount furniture. Bob is just plain irritating, but Sam is cute.
My son is a Super Doppler nut. When he was younger and we drove into Orlando he saw the Super Doppler tower and kept repeating Super doppler, Super Doppler. Now (he is 21) we still joke with him as we pass Super Doppler. I drove to FL myself last year and called him on the phone as I passed his Super Doppler. Peggie

I love those commercials.

A couple of years back, there was a business called Family Auto Mart that had an outlet in Orlando. This business would purchase infomercial-length space and run a series of commercials late at night. My DH and I would watch those things after a long day in the parks and we couldn't stop laughing. The apparent owner of the Auto Mart would sing a song: Orlando, Orlando, Oh Oh Orlando. Orlando, Orlando, Fam-ly Au-to Mart." We still break into that stupid song sometimes at home and crack up, while those around us edge quietly and quickly away. This same "infomercial" would also feature little skits about buying cars. In one, the owner and several other staffers would dress up in hill-billy-type clothing and do a quiz show called "Fixin' to Learn Ya.'" So naturally, anytime we hear of some major "duh" news in education, we look at each other and say "fixin' to learn ya.'"

Ah, the joys of local TV commercials...

My 11 year old nephew finally was allowed to join us on our annual Disney pilgramage. He waited for years to get parental approval.....When we finally had him on Main Street, my brother asked, him what do you think? My nephew responded, "Oh Uncle, my fun meter will never be the same again!" It became our trip motto! We think Disney should make shirts with that saying on it!

He also was quite scared of the Tower of Terror. When everyone tried to explain that it is just pretend, he said "Well someday it may become real, and I will not be in here for it!"

Two lines from Snow White made it into our fams vocab, both from Doc:

"What are ya and who ya doing..."

or when we get home in the evening and someone (me) left a light on..."The lits lamp."

From the parks, its generally versions of ride safety like:

"Stay seated at all times" or "Keep your arms and legs in the vehicle"

And for that time when you are in a hurry and you run into someone who wants to chat I can hear my kids whistling or humming..."How do you do, mighty fine to meet ya, gotta be moving along...'

And finally about a week after any trip someone is usually saying. "Lets go Home again"

 

[Sammy]

I don't think they say this anymore, but I remember something to the extent of, "please collect your belongings and take small children by the hand..." as you were exiting some of the rides. I say this all the time when we are getting out of the car, or trying to gather our things when leaving a restaurant, etc. DH just rolls his eyes, but the kids still laugh when I say it!

Also, DH usually butchers the names of things, so we have lots of funny names that have now become "normal" for us:

Cosmic Rays = Comic Rays
Pecos Bills = Peso Bill
Ghiradelli = Geraldi's (hard "g" sound, like "good")
Ohana = Moohanie's (moo-HA-nees)

The last one is our absolute favorite and can send us into fits of giggles when we talk about going to "Moohanie's" for dinner!! I have no idea how he comes up with this stuff, but it keeps us in stitches!

on our most recent trip in january, every time someone said 'boat' i would do my dory schtick 'boat? i saw a boat! it went this way follow me!'

we are also big fans of por favor mantengense alejado de las puertas' and have the talking magnet.

on our first trip together in september 2001 the 'green army men' were in the parking lot of mgm for ee day. they were at the trams telling people to remember where they parked and yelling into the bullhorns 'you are parked in aisle 44 soldier'. yes i still remember the aisle. now whenever one of asks 'where did we park' we inevitably say 'you are parked in aisle 44!'

On our first trip to Animal Kingdom we had a cranky tram driver on the way back to the parking lot at closing. He was giving the directions about seating children towards the center... there was one family that just wasn't listening, or couldn't understand him or whatever. Finally he just broke and said, "Children in the center, adults on the ends. ITS NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE!!!" At which point my MIL looked at me and we started cracking up. Now whenever we are trying to explain something to someone and they just aren't getting it we say, "children in the middle, it's not that hard people!"

Ah, maybe you had to be there. LOL.

Our friend butchers names intentionally too - - Sploosh Montaigne is his favorite - I think it happened the day he woke up "wis a bah fransh assent"
