For Fun: Phrases your family now uses because of a trip to WDW

[MrTerrorChair]

We've had so much fun at WDW over the years and part of the reason is because of the things that have been said or overheard that have now become a common part of my family's "vocabulary" and phraseology.

"Stand still you bunch of a@#*$%+s." That one came out of the mouth of my DGiL at MGM when she was trying to organize a family picture in front of IJ. Her own DS and three of her DGS were NOT cooperating.

Right after the movie American Pie came out we were at MGM on the RRC and I heard from the front of our car, "Suck me, Beautiful!!" in a very exhuberant voice. That has leaked into our family vernacular.

On the Disney Cruise, my father, mother, DW, DS and I were seated with another family of the same make-up. Their 4 year old DS was a picky eater and the only healthy food he would eat was "fajita-meat" (they were from Texas, would order steak and cut it into strips when it came, before he saw it was a steak). I can not tell you how many times we heard the phrase "fajita-meat" so that now, we always check the kids menu.

Nope, no fajita-meat, but plenty of mac and cheese, right.

Too many of my family phrases involve inappropriate language. What does that say about us?

What are your family phrases?

And we HAVE to wait in it, one of us will say, "Let's FastPass" this.

Also, since eating at Whispering Canyon we say, "Mickey says, 'No bad words!'", whenever we hear someone swearing in public.

That's all that I can think of right now, but I know there are more!!

Aside from blatant references (ie calling Jamie Lee Curtis "Stupid Judy" every time we see her in something, or saying "stand clear of the closing doors" when I'm in my car), we do have a few that are unique to our family.

First, for some reason one day on the bus when I heard the driver say "Kindly give your seat to those in need of assistance", I said to my kids, "Forget that, if someone needs my seat I am not telling them kindly--I'll say "Sit down you Idiot". Now please don't be offended by that, I was in no way making light of anyone's disability. It was just a silly play on words. So now when we are about to sit down to dinner, or on most any occasion that calls for sitting, I tell my kids (or they tell me) Sit Down You Idiot! My daughter's friend was on that trip, so she's on it too, and if I know she's on the phone I'll usually yell that as I walk past.

That same trip I encountered some REALLY feisty kids at Ellen's Energy Adventure. While the movie was playing at the beginning a whole class of kids were roughhousing and being generally inappropriate. I didn't say anything the first 2 times a kids slammed into me, having been pushed while being rowdy with other kids. The third time I lost it and I said a little too loudly "You're not the only ones here you know!!" So that's our other line, generally spoken (quietly, as an aside) when we are out anywhere and there are kids behaving wildly.

And oh yeah--on Peter Pan we always rub our index finger on one hand over the index finger on the other towards a bad guy (to indicate shame, LOL) during any scenes with any of the pirates and entone "Shame, shame, everybody knows your name!". That got started when my kids were smaller, and we just kept it up in the spirit of silliness.

There are more but that's what comes to mind right now, and the ones we use most often. I think reading it here isn't as funny as it is when my kids and I are together and say it. I guess a lot of these are going to be injokes, or jokes that you "had to be there" to really enjoy fully.

Please stand clear of the doors......................

"You get what you get and don't throw a fit."
My girls overheard a little boy saying this in the Magic Kingdom, and it has since become our newest phrase.

 

[Blackunicorn]

This is a little stupid...

I always point to the sign which indicates that you should remain seated while the ride is in motion and say, "Remember the sign!" And now, anytime I'm saying "Be safe" I have to say, "Remember the sign!" I took a picture so that everyone would remember the sign.

And whenever someone does something stupid in my family, we say that they did something like wear a hat on Splash Mountain. Because I was stupid enough to wear my hubby dub's favorite hat on Splash Mountain. (RIP SF49er's hat 2000-2004) My son even came up with an impression he happily performs anytime we're near a pool--he jumps into the deep end, then swims around shrieking, "Oh, no! My hat! I lost my hat!"

 

[MrTerrorChair]

Please stand clear of the doors......................

...we even add to that the Spanish announcement that comes afterward, especially on the monorail.

(Excuse my Spanish spelling here. I can say it, not write it. )

"Please stand clear of the doors....Por favor, mantenganse a los lados, de las puertas." I say this all the time to my son.

"Dad, you're weird."

DH has taken to saying "How To, People" a la Steve Tyler in the preshow at RnRC (he lives near us and we've seen him around a few times so he feels like a kindred spirit to us).

We also have been teasing our kids with "Shay Shay" when they say something blatantly obvious or silly. Our tour guide in China at Epcot taught us that one which means Thank You. We also impressed our waiter last week at a Chinese Restaurant.

In January we stayed in a 1-bedroom at OKW then switched to POP Century for the last two nights. Upon entering the room at POP my 5 year-old DS walked into the room and said "Hey, where is the living room!?"

We are now saying that anytime something is smaller than we think.

Por favor montenga sa alajadro de las puertas ( I've butchered the spelling).

This is one of my family's favorites too. So when my DH found this website that had it, we had to play it over and over and over.

We went into the Diamond Horseshoe for the new show and was saying "Hey Howdy Hey" for the rest of that trip.

We also make up games each year. Last year we passed many hours with "Name that Attaction/Show" One person would say a phrase from a ride or show and everyone else would guess the attraction/show. Such as "we wants the redhead"

"Please remain seated until the car comes to a full and complete stop"

I got this GREAT magnet a couple of trips ago. It's a miniature monrail, and when you push a little button on it it says (in the monorail voice) one of three things "Please stand clear of the closing doors" "Por favor mantegese alejadro de las puertas" (sp) and "Please Hold on to the Handrails". It's on my fridge, and I have it positioned on the freezer door so that when it opens the button on the magnet hits the wall and one of the phrases plays. Scares the bejeezus out of family and friends who visit and unwittingly set it off while looking for ice. LOL

Our new family phrase came from the shuttle ride from the cruise to VWL just last month. We were in one of those Meers shuttles with a family who spoke NO English (they were going to All Stars). Anyway, after 45 minutes of rapid spanish...we turned off the main road toward the All Stars to drop these people off and the little boy looks out the window and says....

BA BA BA BA BA I Luvin' It!



Can't understand a word they spoke until the kid sees McDonalds! It was too funny! Now....we've incorporated that into all sorts of things!


Great thread....

Oh wait! Got one more.


It's from a trip about 5 years ago when our now 10 yo was about 5. We walked into a room at the Poly (I think) and she looks around and says "Wow. We really must come here more often."


My DH and I say that ALL the time now when we find a cool hotel!

We went to DisneyWorld on our honeymoon in 1991. It was not my first trip, but it was my new bride's. She'd been a little hesitant, as she'd heard about the big crowds, and just didn't want a stress-filled honeymoon. I'd assured her we could avoid the stress.

First day, pulling into the park, beautiful day, windows down. There was a parking attendant ATTEMPTING to point the way for a car in front of us. The driver wasn't going to have any part of it. The attendant kept waving and pointing more and more demonstratively, and eventually the driver sticks his head out the window and yells at the top of his lungs, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST PULL OUT A GUN AND SHOOT ME FOR CHRIST'S SAKE?"

My wife's eyes get big, and she looks at me as if to say, "and THIS is what you call STRESS FREE?" Fortunately, all did go well the rest of the trip, and as a result we've been back multiple times, and are now DVC members.
Still, "...PULL OUT A GUN AND SHOOT ME..." is a part of our vocabulary now.

That's adorable!!

I'd love one of those!! I'll have to keep an eye out, maybe they still sell them.

I got it in the Emporium in the MK, the area of the store closest to the park exit (or entrance, depending on which way you're going LOL). Good Luck, didn't look for it when I was there last month, hope they still have 'em!
