Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[MightyAphrodite]

One of the funniest comments I overheard happened at WTP awhile back, where an extremely persistent little girl was desperately trying to get her mother's attention: "Mommy! Mommy, LOOK! It's -- it's -- IT'S THE MAD HAT HAIR!!!" Everyone within earshot errupted in fits of giggle-snorts. Of course, "hatter" is a pretty foreign word to any child who hasn't seen the movie.

OK...this is the funniest thing I've read (not heard) on this thread...as "commando style" DEFINITELY means something else around here , and so I am wondering why Dad is going commando, and how it relates to the long hot day (commando would make it cooler...getting my drift yet?) ...so I am thinking along these lines and just cannot sort it out?!? Then...oh, something else...I get it ...like does WDW aggressively - attacks with vigor ...not what I am thinking ...THANK GOODNESS! The other "translation" just went too far too fast in the wrong direction. My faith in the world (or should I say World) is restored.

But the first line of thought was pretty entertaining!!

Oh my gosh - you just made me laugh... I haven't logged on in a while to check on this thread (finals week and then grades were due)... but I read your response today. I had to laugh for a couple of reasons. First, I do know what YOU mean by commando style. Before I was Dis-ified and Tour Guide Mike - ified that's what I thought it meant too! Then I was brain washed by the Disney crazies here and now I it has a whole different connotation
Second, my Dad died about 4 years ago... However, he always thought of himself as quite the "lady's man" and would get the biggest kick out of all of the women on this board thinking of him going "commando style".

You made me smile.. and this whole board makes me think of him since he worked so hard at making our vacations great. Thanks.

Okay not at Disney but this board related.

Shortly after booking our upcoming trip I was spending lunch hours here on the boards getting caught up.

So for a few days I was coming home and at dinner sharing my findings with DW and DD9.

On about the third day I said oh on the boards today i found out...

Interrupting me DD says "Do you do any work? "

That made me laugh out loud... It also reminded me of somebody... but I will not say who... in case my boss reads this forum...

 

[Mom to Will and Finn]

My DS11 now, 3 at the time, was on the monorail with my father from the Polynesian to MK. They were seated next to a couple of elderly ladies that started chatting with my son. They said "What is your name young man?" to which my son replied "Taywor". His name is Taylor, but he had a hard time with his L's so it came out as a W. They said "Excuse me, I didn't understand you". So he repeated himself, to which they still did not understand. My son looks at my father as if to say go along with me on this one and replies to them "My name is Bob."

LOL to this day we call him TayBob.

LOL What a smartie pants!

That reminds me of when my Will was about 4. Our washing machine broke and we were at the laundromat. There was another little boy there about the same age and his name was Anthony. For some reason Will was having a hard time saying Anthony and he'd say, "Ant...Anth...Ant...", stumbling over it each time. Finally he looked at him and said, "Can I call you something else...like...David?"

I heard two on the way yesterday.

1) As we were coming into the airport, from the seats across the aisle - "Look - you can see the ocean."

2) In the airport, waiting for the tram to the main terminal, a lady asked "do they have any transportation to the resorts from here or do I have to get a rental car?"

That's how I've always used the word commando. When I first read that people at WDW were going commando in the parks, I almost fell over and thought, what in the world? Then I realized what it meant.
Do you do the parks commando style??...jeez people put on some underwear!
I know it's immature but I laugh so hard when people say doing the parks commando style.

I was there during Jersey Week a couple of years ago and I was in the World of Disney looking at the snow globes.

Here comes a Jersey family (very heavy accent) and the wife goes "Honey, look at the adorable Sponge Bob snow globe" and the husband replies, "That's not Sponge Bob you idiot, that's from A Shark Tale"!!

We all know which snow globe they were referring to, right?

Not as good as some, but while waiting for Turtle Talk (I was in the front of the line) I was sitting down. I had my palm pilot with me (for ADRs), and I was playing games (I have a game card). All of a sudden, I hear this girl (about 5 yrs old) go "Mommy, I want one of those!" indicating my palm pilot.

I wish I had thought to teach my son that when he was little. His name is Sam and he had trouble with L's and S's and R's. Our last name was a challenge not to mention the Sam part. He finally got to where when someone asked his name he would just look at me as if to say, Will you just tell them my name? Of course, there was the time when he was 3 and he changed his name to Eric. He didn't tell me though until we were leaving the indoor playground where the attendants ask the children their names so they match up with the parents taking them away. When he said his name was Eric I nearly died thinking they are going to arrest me and not let me leave with him. But then I figured after about 30 minutes they would figure he was too much trouble and give him back.

1. When I was 8 years old, A woman from england asked my father in line "what tis a brownie" of course being 8 and silly, I burst out laughing, pointing at the lady saying, Hey, she doesnt know what a brownie is. It was even funnier hearing my father try to explain it. My aunt still teases me about that, and that was 1978

During Spring Break at Epcot my son was playing in the fountain, absolutely soaked. But hey, it was 89 degrees, he was having fun and would probably dry out in about 10 minutes, and what the heck, we are on vacation having fun and doing what we want.

A lady with a lovely British accent let her son play in the edge of the water for about 2 minutes. When he started to get more than the bottom of his legs wet she grabbed him out and said "That Water is Entirely Too Wet"! She then proceeded to pull him away and muttered "What is that boy's Momma Thinking?!"

Guess we just picked the fountain that had water that was entirely too wet! Next time we'll pick the fountain with drier water to play in!

Funniest Thing I Overheard MYSELF Saying at WDW!

About Day 7 at WDW, entirely too tired. Woke up before the wakeup call and was sitting on bed watching tv, half awake. The wakeup call came in, knowing the morning before it was Stitch's annoying voice, I just quickly picked up the phone and set it down to hang up. Turned off the tv and went into the bathroom.

I came out a couple of minutes later and could hear a cartoon character voice talking, but couldn't quite make out what it was saying. Remember, I'm still half asleep! I thought well maybe I didn't stay on the phone long enough, the wakeup call called back, and now it's on a speaker phone??! Headed toward the phone, but no the sound wasn't coming from the phone, it was coming from the corner of the room, somewhere near the air-conditioning duct.

I actually said "oh my gosh, they have a speaker hidden in the a/c duct and it's telling you to wake up". I was pretty freaked out at that point and was wondering "can they hear us too??".

As I walked closer, I then realized it was the cell phone laying on the table that my Florida sister loaned us for the trip (so we wouldn't have LD charges on our cell phones)! It had a character voice instead of a ring, telling me "pick up the phone stupid"! Of course it was her calling to ask what time she should meet us at AK!

I was laughing so hard it woke all the kids up!

I grew up about 30 minutes from DL, so we used to go several times a year. Once, in the early 70's, we were leaving the park at night, and as we were getting off the parking lot tram this family goes up to the tram driver and asks him if he could tell them where they parked their car. There must have been 30,000 cars in the lot.

I can't remember if I posted this one yet. . . I know I've posted it elsewhere.

A few years ago I did the college program. This was back when they still had the Mulan parade at MGM. I was leaving in the afternoon after my shift and had to walk past where they line up the floats. Most of them had already gone but the last few were still waiting on their cues. As I'm walking past the final float I can see the handlers that guide the horses to the gate laughing hysterically and Mulan is pounding her fist and yelling down, "I demand a straight Shang! It's in my contract!"

One day I was working Indy outpost and it was a VERY slow day and a few face characters wandered our way and were hanging out in the store just BSing with us since apparently there weren't a lot of guests lining up (or they just didn't feel like dealing with them LOL) So "Shang" and "Aladdin" are standing by the counter with the 3 of us working and "Clopin" is wandering around the store, still a part of the conversation but checking things out. Out of nowhere we hear him yell, "Aladdin!! I found Carpet!" and comes running holding up a small rug from the display of rugs rolled up for sale.

Now that would truly be magical if the tram drivers could remember where we all parked our cars!

This reminds me of something my DD did last summer at VBS (not at all Disney related, unless you really stretch and count the Star Wars reference, but still funny!)...

As the children entered VBS the first day, parents checked them in at one spot and then they were escorted to their group leader by teen volunteers. I gave DD's name to the check-in helper and the teen, and watched as she was taken to join the correct group. I noticed that the kids were each being given nametags on colored bandanas, but DD was up near the front so I couldn't see her get hers.

There was a small opening prayer and some songs, and most of us parents sat and watched from the back pews. As the children left I noticed that DD wasn't wearing a bandana or nametag, so I asker her group leader why she didn't have one. The volunteer must have forgotten to give the leader her name, though, as the leader replied, "You must have just signed up, I don't have a nametag for a Leah." (DD's name is NOT Leah!)

I almost died laughing - I had COMPLETELY forgotten that she had been playing Star Wars with my DS (her older brother) for months and insisted on being called Princess Leia - and every time anyone asked her name that's exactly what she told them!!

THANKS for all the great stories...I just joined the Disboards and I'm having so much fun reading all of these!!

I don't know why this struck me so funny!!! Can you imagine those poor tram drivers and what they must contend with on a daily basis?

Overheard in World Showcase:
The guest was walking from China towards Germany. The Outpost is between the two.
As the guests were walking into the Outpost, one said, "This is GERMANY?"

It was a cute moment. I can see how it would be confusing!

 

[Luv2Roam]

I don't know if I posted this one already. Forgive me if I have. It strikes us as funny.

DH was on a MK tram one day, going from the car to the TTC. There were two CMs on the back. One was obviously earning his ears.

Most of us are familiar with the "Driver Clear" verbal signal. (honk, honk)
The new CM said "Drive Safe!"
The tram did not move.
The CM had to say the correct magic words first!
