Three funny things overheard last week...
At the Tower of Terror, we hear a woman with obvious and immediate panic in her voice say "Big drop? I thought you told me this was another Disney hotel!"
We were joining the line for the Carousel of Progress and heard a man explain to his son that they were waiting for the little cars that travel around the park (must have had TTA confused with COP) and telling him all the things that they were going to see. The whole time the son keeps trying to say "Dad, I don't think that's right..." but the father keeps interrupting his son. The really funny part? They were actually waiting in an outrageously long line to meet Buzz Lightyear, which was right next to COP (which had no line incidentally).
And finally, an older Southern couple was in the store in China looking at the scarves and wraps. The man picked up a lace wrap/shawl and said "Well how are you supposed to wear this thing? It's all see through!" A salesperson comes over and he asks her about it. She tells him it's a shawl. He carefully and poorly pronounces it as if speaking to someone who doesn't speak English. "S-h-a-w-l? I don't know what you're saying." The poor salesperson didn't quite know what to say so she repeated it and sort of nodded. The man then says "So people just wear see through clothes over there? I mean, it's beautiful but that don't seem right!" The salesperson explains that it's worn over other clothes. The man turns around and yells across the store to his wife "Honey, come look at this chinese thing! Don't worry, you wear it over your clothes!" DH and I could barely contain ourselves.
This example was just sort of funny, but I bet those poor salespeople get some questions that are downright offensive!

I laughed so hard. What did she think was in Morocco anyways?!?
Now I'm laughing. That's so cute.
I just happened to be looking in DH's direction when she said it and he sortof jumped. I got so tickled I could not stop laughing. I couldn't even say Epcot correctly for a few minutes - I had to spell it to her. Um, she got mad. Oh well - we'll never be able to say Epcot again without thinking of her.
