Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[justplaingoofy]

Hi everyone..Midnite-I have a story that is similar, but opposite.

A couple of years ago my husband I are were walking around the water at Carribean Beach. Very calmly he says "duck" so I'm looking for the duck, only to have it hit me in the head. He said "I told you to duck"... It was really funny because had he said it in a louder tone "DUCK" I would've.

That was the second time I got hit in the head with a bird!

Sure enough some kid was wailing about something ahead of us. My mom didn't think just blurted out in true League of Their Own fashion, "There's no crying in Disney World."

I thought DH and I were the only ones who did this!

My "funniest" experience was on our 1st ever trip to WDW in 2000. There was 16 in our party, grandparent,aunts&uncles etc.... We had gone to MK in July for the E ride night, so of course, it was well into the night. We were all sitting in front of the castle waiting for the Mainstreet Electric Parade. There we were, at least 8 rows deep in people. Out of nowhere a GIANT roach flew out of the little oak tree, and landed on this poor fella! I have never seen anyone try to get out of their clothes, as fast as he did! Then..... It flew off, of couse sending everyone into a panic. People were screaming, and then it happened,the roach landed.... I stood,screamed and pointed "There it is!!!! Its on her back!" Well, nobody knew who "her" was, thus forcing the crowd into a bigger panic. Everyone was jumping up and running. I felt so sorry for that lady, I thought she was going to have heart failure when she saw it on her shirt! I didn't really know who to feel sorry for, her or the ROACH! I guess that memory will be with me forever! Hey, for you all that have great parade seats, and someone tries to ruin it by cutting in front of you, try the Roach scream! You'll be surprised how fast you can clear an area!!!

While my roach story is not at Disney I think it still applies. It was the year 2000 right around Halloween. FI (then boyfriend), a good friend of mine, and myself were just arriving in Orlando, tired from our long long drive (about 2 1/2 hrs). We decide to stop and get something to eat on our way to the hotel (an I-Drive luxury hotel ). We see a Ponderosa and decide to stop and eat there . We pay and soon are analyzing the buffet for edible items. I grab a plate of spaghetti and go back to the booth. I take a big bite of my spaghetti and feel something on my face and start to freak out. I swat whatever the heck is on my face and it lands on my leg. Holy crap it's a BIG roach! Now I'm really freaking out and flailing about. I finally get the thing off me and promptly turn around and throw up (I have an extremely senstive stomach and will vomit if anything grosses me out or turns my stomach in anyway)! Now before anyone says anything the restaurant was empty, there was no one seated anywhere near us. Neither one of the two dopes noticed anything was wrong, and didn't come back from the buffet line, until I threw up. We then decide no Ponderosa for us. We go to the front area and ask for the manager. We tell her what has happened and ask for a refund since we really didn't eat anything. She then says and I quote, "You must not be from Florida. That wasn't a roach, it was a palmetto bug." Well, well the response she gets is actually quite amusing. All 3 of us simultaneously respond, "Not from Florida! We're from Miami. And FYI a palmetto bug is a tropical ROACH!". She then proceeds to give us a refund without another word while we stand there mumbling, "Not a roach, my a**!". Here's the kicker she included a 2 for 1 coupon! Like I'm ever going back there!!!!

The moral of the story: Never eat at Ponserosa unless you like to dine with Palmetto bugs!

Did I also mention that another bird dive bombed me in the head at the Magic Kingdom and took my icecream cookie that I just bought at the Main St. Bakery? And did I mention that it happened while everyone was lining up for the 3pm parade?? How does one recover from all this trauma
(*note there was another attack listed a few postings up)

That bird would have tried to steal my ice cream cookie and he and I would have been wrestling in the middle of the parade.

July 2003, my family and I were in line for the Haunted Mansion and as we came upon the turnstiles I became lodged in one. Needless to say, there was an enormous line behind us (Me).

Embarrassed beyond belief, I turned my head around to face the crowd behind me and announced in a clear voice, "If you will hold on one moment there is a fat woman stuck in the turnstile. We will be back to the regularly scheduled horror in a moment."

Thankfully after my husband and son pushing I was finally able to get loose. I did receive applause.

My new bride and I were on our honeymoon at WDW. We were at MK, and DW had very fond memories of the Tiki Room as a kid, and insisted we go. I thought we had better uses of our time, but we went, and I sat through it, and afterwards started to make fun of it. Well we weren't a minute outside the attraction when I felt a "plop" on my shoulder. Sure enough, a bird had made me pay for my bad attitude with an excretory offering. Needless to say I have much greater respect for the Tiki Room now....

I bought a churro in Frontierland and lifted it up to take a bite. Immediately a gull flew down and grabbed it, and we played tug of war! He didn't get it, but after that neither did I. The person working the churro cart didn't seem surprised at all. As if I should expect to attacked by a gull! At least the people waiting for the parade looked pretty amused by it...

So what were you supposed to do?

Tink: I just found a roach in my spaghetti.
Manager: That's not a roach, that's a palmetto bug.
Tink: Oh, okay then, sorry for complaining, I'll just go back to my vomit-encrusted booth and eat my Pasta Palmetto. Thanks for straightening me out, there.
Manager: No problem, we aim to please.

Slightly off-topic, but...Just returned from Disney last week in August. While my friends were on Buzz Lightyear ride, I sat down at the fastfood place across the way. I happend to look at where all the strollers were parked, and sure enough, a crow was systematically landing on each stroller, and looking into the pockets for open popcorn, or cookies, or whatever. When he found one, he cawed, and several birds came and helped themselves. I couldn't stop laughing. I tried shooing them away, but they didn't care. They were sooo sneaky; if I turned my head away, or got disdtracted, they pounced on the stroller. It was hysterical. I, too, have had my problems with birds. (not that I'm a bird-hater, I own a very spoiled canary!) Once, at MK, in Adventureland, behind the Hall of Presidents, I had just purchased a hot dog, and open the bun to put mustard on it, and a giant seagull swooped down and took the hot dog!!! I was left standing there staring at an empty bun! Another time, at the Polynesian resort, the crows took off with a bathing suit top which was drying on the patio. I hope they enjoyed it.

We just got back Anyways, after we had all buckled ourselves into the elevator on Tower of Terror and the doors closed, a woman in front of us quietly asks her boyfriend/husband, "Is this a ride?" The man answers yes and leaves it at that! I'm thinking to myself, "Oh yeah, lady, this is a ride all right! Hold onto your seat!" I wish I could have seen her face after the first drop!

How can people get on a ride, especially one like TOT, and not know what it is???!!

 

[bigmerle1966]

When we were at WDW in June at the MK where the Turkey Leg cart is near BTMR, there were lots of birds hanging around.

Now there's water all over my monitor!!!!!!

Seriously though, thanks for making me feel better about a bad bad memory!!!

Overheard last week at POFQ: "Mom, when are we going to Florida?"

Another comment that made me laugh hysterically (it was late, I was hot and tired, and I just sort of got the giggles) was said by my BF while waiting in line for Soarin'. I noticed at the front of the line a lady in a wheelchair who had a lovely black lab wearing Mickey ears. We had seen the lady and the dog earlier in the day outside Journey into Imagination (the dog had his picture taken with Figment ... the dog didn't bat an eye when his leash was taken by a giant purple dragon-dinosaur thing), and I pointed them out to BF, "Look, there's the dog with the Mickey ears again!"

"Hunh," said BF. "I don't think a dog wants to go soaring over California."

(Okay, I'm sure you had to be there for it to be funny, but I laughed like a drain for about five minutes.)
