Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[Number1Son]

My sons first trip to WDW was back in 2000, and he would be turning 4 in less than a month. (This was an early 4th birthday present)

Our first day there, we only had about a half a day, so we decided to do MGM. My son had never been to a theme park, and had never ridden anything other than a Merry-Go-Round.

As we enter MGM, he hears the screams...and we headed toward TOT. He was thrilled and begged to go on. He BARELY made the height requirement, and I really wasn't sure this would be his best ride...but we went for it.

He was a trooper, held on tight and didn't say a word through the whole ride.

As we exited, he had the most precious look on his face (one of my most prized Disney photos is just after we left TOT that day.)

We asked him what he thought, if he had had fun?!

He looked up, completely breathless and said "I loved it, it was GREAT! But I don't ever, EVER want to go on it again!!"

Hehehehehe...

Well, the funniest things I have ever heard are my own family and we still laugh about them. One of them is embarrassing and the other is a "you had to be there" type of thing.

The embarrassing one: It was Christmas time at DW 2002. The crowds were really thick and the lines were long and we were all grouchy. We were walking to Epcot from Beach Club and and we were all tired and snappy with each other. I had had enough and I blurted out "We are just like the Osbornes - except they LIKE each other!" At the time everyone just stood there like "Oh no she did not say that..." I'm embarrassed that that came out of my mouth. Now we laugh about it all the time.

The "had to be there" one - another grouchy night. Everyone tired, we are trying to get back to the Beach Club from AKL where we had eaten at Boma. And DH is paying NO attention to the signs and driving right past where he's supposed to turn and I'm getting impatient. I hadn't been talking at all and then I saw the sign that said EPCOT - our exit - and he was just about to pass it AGAIN and I quickly said "EPCOT" - except I hadn't been talking and it came out in a froggy voice.

Neither of those were funny THEN, but we are constantly laughing about it now. When we are all together someone will say "EPCOT!" in that froggy voice and we all start cracking up and I'm sure people think we are nuts!

I can add one from Disneyland. This is one I heard all the time as a Cast Member. Can you tell me how to get to "Magic Mountian" ? (they always meant either Splash Mountian or Space Mountian) but it was really funny because there is a Six Flags park in So California by that name.
I used to tell them to get on I 5 and go north about 60 miles. You should have seen the confused looks I got.

I finally finished reading this thread and I have to say there are lots of funny stories here. I have one to tell, but I don't know if it's really funny or it's one of those "had to be there" kind of things. This requires some set up:

My family (me, my twin sister, mom, dad) went to WDW in March, attending the Pirate and Princess Party on March 8. My sister and I were determined to meet characters (we're 21). We spent the whole day at MK and the two of us decided to go to the Hall of Fame to meet the princesses in the morning. Now, we're ready for the party, wearing the same shirt that says "Pirates" on the front. We meet Snow White, Cinderella, and Belle. We love Cinderella and Belle the best but as far as face characters go Snow White is our favorite to talk to. She asked us if we were having a good time and every time we meet her she asks what we have ridden (and we never have a quick response). So we told her that we did Buzz. She asked who won (my sister did) and said that I should get some tips from Buzz so I can do better.

So, we go back to the Hall of Fame that night for the party. There is a lady-in-waiting telling everyone how to greet the princesses. She sees us and does a double take, then says something like "oh, there are two of you! I thought my eyes were going bad!" (I wonder what people in the line thought because she had a microphone on and they couldn't see her) We're in the line to meet Snow White and her prince and when we go into the room the lady-in-waiting comes with us. She shouts at Snow White and the Prince, while they are visiting with a little kid, that there are two of us and there is nothing wrong with their eyes. My sister and I are in giggles about that. By then the doors to the room have shut and the lady says quietly to the door, pounding on it lightly "Let me out!"

We finally get to meet Snow White and her Prince. Prince signs our autograph books and hands them to Snow White. She says "no, I met them earlier today and already signed their books." So I look at her face and sure enough we did meet her. The first thing that came out of my mouth was "I thought I recognized you!" Luckily we were the last ones in before their break or I might have been more embarrassed that I didn't "recognize" Snow White before. She did ask us what we did after we left and we had to think about that.

Another quick character story: We met Mary Poppins at the UK in Epcot. She asked us if we were sisters and several other questions. We picked that moment to answer her in unison for every single question. So Mary Poppins says something like "My goodness, you really are twins!"

I understand completely!

Now, I try very hard to be understanding, and not give someone a hard time when they ask for directions to the "Spook House" or "Pooh's Honey Ride" or "Caribbean Pirates". But it's a lot harder to figure out that they may mean "The Disney-MGM Studios" when they say "Universal Studios", or "Splash Mountain" when they say "Space Mountain" (no joke, happened to me Sunday).

I still remember this after, like 6 years....

This little boy, about 4, was in line with his dad to get a drink or something at a cart in tomorrowland. The little boy was complaining that he was tired and his feet hurt.....just on and on. Very calmly the dad looked at his son, bent down to his level and said" Do you see all the people in this park?" his little boy said yes. Then the dad replies " All these people are tired and there feet hurt too." My friend and I just busted out laughing. It was great. The kid stopped too.

She just meant that she didn't wear t-shirts that have iron-on pictures on them. I think it was a little wrong to say what you said. It did sound a little sarcastic. Sorry.

The t-shirts at The Disney Store aren't ironed on. I just want to clear that up so people don't think The Disney Store is selling cheap ironed on things. They are very well made.

This happened about 11 years ago, and it wasn't something someone said but still funny. You know how the sidewalk splits right after you get off the monorail at MK? Well, there's a big yellow trashcan right where the sidewalk splits into 2 lines. One oblivious mother was holding her toddler's hand and smacked him right into the trashcan without knowing it was there. My whole family was behind them and almost wet our pants. Our whole trip we were all running straight into trashcans. I wonder what everyone around us thought of us. I still giggle about it every time I think of it.

Another funny moment- My mom, dad, and I were walking back to our room at POR from the food court. Right after one of the bridges is a huge hole. My dad didn't realize it was there, and fell flat out on the sidewalk. We all busted out laughing when we realized he was still tightly holding his refillable mug, which he treasures! Funniest moment of my life.

 

[tony609]

Oh, I have to share this. It wasn't funny at the time...but then again it was. At least to my sick group.

I was with friends and we were eating somewhere, I think in MK. This little boy, very cute..about 3yrs old...was walking around and not sitting at the table despite his parents efforts. He had a squeeze ketchup bottle in his hands, don't know why. he kept looking at my friends mom, smiling and laughing..she was smiling at him, talking to him. Then he walked over to her and squirted her on the arm with the ketchup bottle and walked away. My friends Mom was shocked, we all were for about 10 seconds then we all busted out laughing. How random was that!

After weeks of build up to our trip, we finally landed at MCO after a very long day of travel. My 3 year old son looks around and immediately starts pouting and sulking.

"Thith ithn't Dithney Woowd, thith is a dumb aiwpowt" Oh, the disappointment!

It was so hilarious at the time, we still razz him about it. It was the funniest thing I've heard (not quite in the parks)...as if the jetway let's you out into the middle of fantasyland. Wouldn't that be great?

Well, WDW used to feature the next best thing: A STOLport (Short Take-Off and Landing airport) located near the MK Parking Lot. If you had deep enough pockets, you could fly into Orlando, then transfer to a commuter aircraft that would fly you directly into the World.

I was at Boma last night with a friend and this guy goes to the guy cutting the prime rib and he asks "what animal is this?"

CM - Zebra!
Guest - Really!
CM - Yes, the stripes give it all the flavor!
Guest - Walks away
CM - Sir! Would you like some Zebra?
Guest - No thanks.

Thanks to all who have posted with their funny stories.

We aren't headed to WDW until August, but DH and DS10 are getting ready! Last night DH was watching one of the Travel Channel shows, and thought Cinderella's glass "chariot" was really neat!

Later, my DS10 informed me he wanted to do "Interventions" at Epcot. So much for us drinking our way around the world.

3. MY FAVORITE! I was walking towards the backstage area behind the bathrooms in camp minnie mickey when a little girl about 6 came running out of the bathroom crying in hysterics. I ask her if everything was okay to which she responded between sobs and gasps:
"I was going to the bathroom, and I was trying to go poopie, and that toilet kept flushing on me before I was finished!"
I found her dad and he informed me that she was terrified of the automatic flushing toilets. Her face was priceless and that little voice was sooooo cute!

I would swear that this was my niece, but her parents won't take her to WDW b/c they are too cheap...so sad...

She use to freak out when having to use the auto-flush toilets! (As a side note for other who kids are the same way, put your hand over the sensor and hold it there BEFORE the child sits and hold it there until they are finished...quite a pain, but less traumatic for everyone involved! )

As far as her parents go...they REALLY are too cheap! My DSIL thinks her daughter won't even remember it, so why bother! (She is 11.)

Two years ago, my DS was just a teeny tiny too short to get on the Rockin Rollercoster. My husband gets this idea to put some tissue in his shoes to make up the difference. After returning to the line my son runs up to the CM who had measured him and said, "check me again, I got taller in the bathroom" We just walked by smiling but my son was screaming "but the toilet paper mom, you fixed it with the toilet paper. The CM cracked up.

I have recently learned that post it notes over the sensors work much better than trying to squish into a stall with a scared child..

I know that feeling! We have finally convinced my aunt to take her kids next year! Her kids are 13, 9, and 5 so there is no excuses coming from here that they won't remember it!

Everyone keep these stories coming! I love them all!

My DD was the opposite- we visited WDW when she was 3, and she had never been on an automatic toilet before. We were at 'Ohana, having breakfast, when she needed to go to the bathroom. We got in there, and she did her thing.

When she finished and stood up, the potty flushed automatically. Her eyes got real big, then she smiled and turned to me. She exclaimed loudly, "MOMMY!! Even the POTTIES are magic at DISNEY WORLD!!!" For the rest of the vacation, she had to try out every bathroom we passed, just to experience the "magic potties".
