Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[ZanneMarie]

This is unfortunately about me but I still laugh at myself when I think of it. To preface this I am a person who is not fond of roller coasters or more specifically drops.

We had gone on Pirates in the spring and I had known about the drop but it snuck up on me and we actually had to wait a minute at the top for the boat in front of us to go down..I got a bit nervous but survived it ok.

Fast forward to the fall. Same ride but my parents were with us, my mom sitting next to me. Being the Disney know it all I was telling my mom about the drop and that I was going to warn her. One of my kids said 'here is the drop' and I said no it was not as we had not done the stop and wait for the previous boat....well much to my surprise it really was the drop and as soon as we start to go down I say in a none too quiet voice "oh, crap, It is the drop!" My family had a hysterical laugh at me and I had to laugh at myself too.

Lucky for me my family is not in to teasing as much as I am...I would have teased the person who said something like that unmercifully for the rest of the week...my family was kind and let it drop.

I think you still had it better than the poor woman on my boat on Pirates. There was no line for Pirates when me and DBF went, so we just walked on to a half full boat. They waited for others to walk down the ramp, fill the boat, and off we went. Well not so fast, had to wait for the boat in front to get far enough ahead. The whole time a lady in the boat was getting worried about the drop. Her husband was telling her it was big. Then the ride operator starting telling her it was a 6 story drop. She was getting very nervous at this point. Not trying to climb out of the boat but she was like "No, you're kidding right? It is that big? Oh boy. I don't like drops. You sure it is that big?" They both kept telling her it was a big drop and to hang on tight. The whole time everyone else in the boat is trying to stifle their laughter. So we go over the drop and all you hear is a blood curdling scream, then a big "That's it?!" That poor lady. She took the joke well though.

Mine happened at DL, but it is related to DW. And it's kind of the opposite of this story.

In 1993, I went to DW & rode POTC. I loved it, that little drop was nothing. In 1995, I went to DL with my brother, SIL , 1 yr old niece & 4 yr old twin nephews. They were 2 when we went to DW & didn't go on any rides, but when we went to DL they were willing to try. So we get to POTC. SIL & I are trying to convince them to go on the ride. MY SIL comes up with a plan "Aunt Missy will take Sean & if he likes it, she'll take Joe." The boys agree & Sean & I go inside. There wasn't much wait, but I told him "Sean, there's a little drop, but it'll be fine." Well, anyone who has ridden Pirates at DL knows the drop is bigger--so when we go down the drop & it's big, Sean says "why didn't you tell me?" And I said "I didn't know!". Well, he loved it anyway & so did Joe. Sean & I still laugh about it, 11 years later!

The funniest thing that I ever heard in Disney was on the Monorail. A little girl of about 5 was explaining how cool the monorail was to her little brother and said that you go right through the middle of the hotel (Contemporary Resort)! She then added it's really fun going through the middle of the hotel except you can't see any people undressing or anything!

This didn't happen at WDW but at DL yesterday. My mom asked me, "Do you want to go on Bud Light?" I seriously almost fell over laughing.

The names she has for some of the rides makes me laugh so much.

My DS used to call the character "Bud Liceyear" when he was small.

So here's some we heard last week....

"Oh no....we got the Japanese map!"


"What kind of food do they have in Asia?"
"Asian food."

and my personal favorite (as I'm a theatre gal and drama teacher)
........"the actors get paid a lot!"

 

[tiggerbell]

A little weird, but yesterday in a Disney Store, a little boy was following his Mom around the store, and all I caught was, "Mom, what if Chicken Little was the Easter Bunny?"

I cracked up and really wish I could have heard the logic behind that statement!

Overheard Saturday at the Contemporary boat dock- Guest asked the Captain if there was a boat that would take him to Pleasure Island. Even my not-so-Disney hubby laughed out loud.

We're just back, and my own DS5 gave us (and several folks around us) a good chuckle last week.

Late into one of those long days at the parks, he tugged on my arm and said "Dad, will you carry me ... I'm tired of looking at people's butts". I know it made me crack up, and about 4-5 people in front of us busted up, too.

Not sure if it was true, or just a new excuse to be carried, but it was hilarious.

People in other office cubicles are staring at me as if I am crazy I laughed so hard at that one.

We were at the Contemporary...about 1980. It was night, raining like crazy, the monorail cars would bring rain into the hotel with them. We were walking by the front desk when we overheard a guest ask the CM--completely seriously--"Is this Disney rain?"

I have two, and one is about me:

DH and I were in Animal Kingdom, buying gifts for our neighbors who were feeding our cats while we were seeing the Mouse. . . anyway, we wanted to have the gifts delivered to our hotel. We had been there 5 days, but when the lady behind the counter asked for our room number, I had no idea. I called DH over, and he had no idea. We started laughing hysterically, but the lady checking me out (from Africa) had this look of pity on her face, like there was something wrong with us. She was just shaking her head with that look. . . We knew how to get to our room, just not the number. Anyway, for the rest of the trip, anytime I thought of that I fell over laughing.

The other was at EPCOT, I was in line for a yummy margarita near Mexico. The man in front of me in line did have three or four little boys with him, but I didn't think anything of it. When he ordered how many ever margaritas in different flavors, the lady behind the cash register looked at him kind of hard, like she was trying to decide what to say. She finally settled on "You do know these have alcohol in them, right?" The man replied in a British accent, "What? Alcohol? I thought they were slushes!!" He had indeed ordered them for the kiddos! I guess margaritas aren't quite as popular in the UK as they are in the US. And I guess that with the exchange rate $8 or $9 didn't seem outrageous for a slush. Ole!

This happened a couple weeks ago

I was watching DS while he was doing one of the kid stop things at AK when a woman walked up and started talking to the CM

woman....'maybe she knows....can you tell me what that big mountian is over there?'
cm...'ma'am, that's Expedition Everest, our newest roller coaster'
woman....'you mean there are rides here?'

One time in MGM, we overheard an argumet between a husband and wife. Well, we were far enough away that we didn't hear all of it but it went something like this: (It was a husband and wife-her mother and a small child)


Husband:I don't agree with you and I don't agree with mother!
Wife: Just looks a little stunned....may have said something not very nice


Then the wife, her mother and the child just stare as the husband storms off...It was so hilarious after they left...


..then waiting for the tram...we look at the pople who came up right after us and it was the family....husband included....the wife still looked incredibly angry...we were trying so hard not to laugh

 

[tophee99]

We were at MK and had just finished watching the night time parade (which was amazing). My ds 4 had made friends with another young boy from Africa. We had an elderly couple come up and ask us where everyone was from......we responded Canada, and the other family responded Africa. They patted both boys on the shoulder and congratulated them on speaking "such good English" It confused my ds........but made us laugh!!!

 

[mammoth_fan]

Overheard in the World Showcase just a few days ago:

A Mom stops dead in her tracks, turns to her husband with a face of rage, and screams "Don't YOU dare ACCUSE me of getting MOODY! I AM NOT MOODY AT ALL!!!"

Whoops...that might've been me

I'm finally learning that 37-year-olds DO need regular meals and naps.

 

[missy522]

This happened many years ago. We were at MGM, and it must have been the year after Beauty & the Beast came out. We were at the Disney Animation Studios. There were memorabilia from the movie, drawings and such, all over the room we were in, and in the center of the room was a glass case with the Oscar Award statuette that B&B won that year. My then 4 year old son looked at the Oscar and pointed, asking me in his sweet little voice, "Is that Gaston?" I'll never forget that!!!

During my husband's first trip to WDW, we were standing in line for the Safari ride and he was watching the clips that set up the ride experience (be on the look out for poachers!). He turned to me and said "I can't belive that there are poachers at the Animal Kingdon!" Since he is a very sarcastic guy, I just assumed that he was joking and replied "Yes, didn't you know? I think they come up from Miami".. just playing along with his joke. About halfway through the ride, he looked at me red-faced and laughed - having just realized that the "poachers" were just part of the experience. I couldn't let him live it down, and spent the rest of the week on the look-out for the "poachers from Miami".
