Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[ZephyrHawk]

Well, we should try to keep this lovely thread alive. I'll bite, but these may be more along the lines of "you had to be there" situations.

1. It's almost time for Toon Town to close down for the evening, so DH suggests we try to get on Barnstormer before it stops running. Well, because everything was about the be closed there weren't any kids around. There was zero line and we walked right on. It was a pretty good ride, but very short. As we get off this teenager who had been riding behind us shouts to his friend, "Wow! That ride was totally worth no wait." We had to laugh because he was right. Nice enough ride, but not worth a long wait.

2. My senior class went to WDW for graduation. My friends and I ended up in the pool most evenings (we had a curfew) and played this game we made up using a beach ball. Anyways, I dived for the ball at the same time as one of my guy friends, who I'd known since kindergarten. We both crash beneath the surface. In the confusion, he gets the ball...and I get my bikini top ripped off. Well, I kept my head and managed to get the thing back on before I needed to surface for air. But I then immediately accused him (in a friendly teasing way) of ripping my top off. He denied it (but with what I noticed was a guilty manner). This went back and forth for a little while until all my other friends had stopped playing to listen. Well, you know how you always think of something funny later that you should have said at the time? This was one time when I actually came up with something appropriate. "Fine," I said, "The most exciting moment of your life and you just missed it."

...speaking of stupid things I'VE said at Disney...

I went to Disney in 2004 after not being there since I was 12 in 1976. This trip, I was with my DD15, my Sis, her DH and my nephews, DN8 and DN3. We went on Pirates of the Carribean, and I THOUGHT I remembered it well from riding it was a child. Apparently not. My DN3 and I were in the front row of our boat and I was caught completely by surprised by the flume. Now, it's a short, tame little flume, right? I didn't think so, and shouted, yes shouted, "Holy S---!" at the top of my lungs as we plunged down. My cute little nephew calmly turned around and told his Mom in his sweet little voice, "Mommy, Aunt Backy said a bad word!" I thought I would die!

Later that same trip, we were returning to All Star Sports after a wet rainy day at Epcot. We had the bus pretty much to ourselves, and it was one of the handicap busses with bench seating that faces the windows. My DN3 says to his Daddy as the bus pulled away from the bus stop, "Look, Daddy. The bus is driving itself!" He couldn't see the driver behind the barrier! He really thought the place was magic! The few other people on the bus thought it was hysterical!

What a fun thread!

To get back on topic, this reminds me of something that happened to me last week. I'm standing outside an attraction when I'm approached by three boys; one is about ten, the others are older teens. The ten year old speaks:

Excuse me... are you familiar with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride?

Well, I know more than some about it, but less than others. What can I do for you?

Ok, you know how there are three Jack Sparrows in it?

No. There's only one. He moves around through the town as you do.

...So he's real???

Of course he is. He's certainly not a Figment of Imagination. Figment's in Epcot.

Um... ok. (To brothers) Told you he was real!

(After they leave, to Cast Member standing next to me who's trying hard to keep from laughing: ) So, do you think he meant to ask if Jack was alive?

That was a good one!

I was at a scrapbook crop on Saturday and a lady was telling me about this Scrapbooker Dream Vacation and she says it's normally held at the resort that looks like a golf ball. I say Epcot. She says no, there is a monorail, I again think Epcot, but I don't say anything and then she yells out "the Contemporary resort" She then goes on to about it looking like a golf ball(she kept saying things about epcot and how you can see the parks from there. The Disney fans in the room rolled their eyes and went back to work.

Must have been related to the woman I scrapbooked with a few weeks ago who INSISTED the WDW Swiss Family Treehouse was now Tarzan's Treehouse. INSISTED she had just been down there and seen it for herself. I just let it go...

SHHHHHHHHHH! If Disney reads this, they may just DO that! How many visitors actually KNOW who the Swiss Family Robinson is?

Disneyland has Tarzan's Treehouse!

Ya think maybe she went to California and thought she was in Florida

Nope. I asked.

Not at Disney, but about Disney.

Yesterday I was looking through the Creative DiSigns thread with DD13 looking over my shoulder as I am looking at several Tink designs. DD13 pipers up and asks "Is that Tink just a drawing or from the movie?" I could help but laugh. "Just what do you think the Movie is dear? It's all drawings!"

DD13 couldn't beleive she actually asked such a silly question.

Ah! I just remembered the story I wanted to share. DH and I had just gotten off Everest and were wandering through AK, enjoying the various island habitats for primates. There was a young zookeeper in the waters of the siamang exhibit who was telling a crowd of onlookers about the play habits of the monkeys. There are a number of columns edging the lagoon around the siamangs' island, and connect to the island via ropes that the siamangs enjoy using for play. Now, they can't climb down the columns as they are engineered like bird feeders designed to keep out squirrels, with the terminus of the rope above a large platform curved slighly up. Well, one day, an older siamang had followed a young, inexperienced one to the top of a column, and the older siamang had tried to play too roughly with the younger, and the younger fell. She must have landed in the soft bushes underneath the column, and was unhurt, but probably was very confused. It was very early in the day, so the park wasn't crowded yet, so no one saw her fall or came to retrieve her. However, a guest in line for Kali River Rapids a few feet away suddenly felt a pull on her belt, only to look down and see a brown, furry face peering up at her hopefully, and a little hand holding her belt for safety. The guest had the presence of mind to remain calm and wave down the Kali CM, who radioed for help. The keeper came and took the siamang by the hand and led her back to her exhibit. While waiting for her keeper, the siamang kept a firm and trusting hold on the guest's belt and patiently bided her time. I only wish it had been me!

During our last trip, BF and I went to eat at Boma.

I have an allergy to mustard, which IPO notified Disney of when making our dining reservations. Most of the time, I don't have to ask about food, but I was making an exception for Boma, as I was unfamiliar with many of their dishes. I had heard that the chef would speak with you if you had a concern, and I really wanted that reassurance for this meal.

Our server came to our table to get drink orders, and noted that her ticket specified that I had an allergy. I told her what it was, and asked if I could see the chef, as I needed to know what to eat and what to avoid. She just stood there and looked at me, then asked, "well, if you ate, like, an ENTIRE bottle of mustard would it do anything to you?"

I didn't know what to say for a minute. Of course it would do something to be, otherwise, I wouldn't have an allergy!?! (Not to mention the fact that eating an entire bottle of mustard would probably not be really good on anyone's digestive system! ) I just smiled and told her that my throat closes up what I eat mustard (or mustard seed) in any quantity, so I would really like to see the chef. She went and got her, and it was no big deal.

Not really funny, just odd.

Love this thread, BTW. I'm still chuckling eveytime I think of "White Power"

Wow! No kidding. Good thing the guest didn't start freaking or screaming something about "Mickey's got me and he's changed" or something.

I got the opposite...when we checked into Jikos, they asked if anybody had an allergy. I said I was allergic to shellfish, since they were asking. Didn't make a note of it on the reservation as it is easy for me to avoid shellfish. I wasn't really thinking anything of it but later the Chef comes out. He opens my menu and tells me I should avoid the Durban Shrimp Curry, Pan Roasted Jumbo Scallops (and any other completely obviously shellfish-containing dishes.)

Uh...Thanks! (It's a wonder I have managed to keep myself alive this long! )

You'd be amazed (or perhaps not) at the number of people who go into a restaurant like Jiko and ask "Is there really shrimp in the Durban Shrimp Curry?" or "Will I be ok if order the Durban Shrimp Curry and you don't put any pieces of shrimp in my portion?" If these seem like silly questions, remember: There is no duck in chinese duck sauce.

Seriously, though... we do it just to keep us from a lawsuit where a guest says "I told them I was allergic to shellfish and Disney negligently failed to warn me that the dish I ordered contained shellfish."

It seems silly but... <shrug> there you go.

This actually happend to my Dh and my brother. My Dh and I got married last July in Disney, and for the wedding rehersal all the bridesmaids and grooms men wore matching shirts. They were the Mickey and Minnie dressed up in wedding attire with our names underneath along with the date. Well after all the rehersals and everything the grooms men wanted to take my DH out to get a few drinks at Epcot. My DH and my brother hopped on the monorail, not thinking that they should change their shirts, since they were no longer around the whole wedding party, and they were sitting on a monorail. Well my DH and brother were talking and he could not help but notice that the couple across from them jsut kept on staring at them. Finally my Dh said, "hey hows it going?" The couple replied with a " Good and congratulations". They thought my DH and brother were the ones getting married, since my name could also pass for a mans! After my Dh explained that they were the rehersal shirts, and they were going to meet up with everyone in Epcot for some drinks, the couple was so embarrased! When they finally arrived at Epcot, to their shocked, every one had changed leaving the two of them wearing "The Happily Ever After" shirts!
