The funniest thing I can recall hearing was my two year old son. We had just left MGM Studios and had asked our son if he had fun at MGM. He said in his baby voice "I yike old GM". My wife and I got a chuckle out of that.

Ohio also has a Russia and Lima. As with my prior post, Ohio just can't get the pronunciations correct: Russia is pronounced Rooshee and Lima is pronounced like the bean not the Peruvian city. The latter even got a mention in a Pierce Brosnan movie--can't recall the name off the top of my head, but the star mispronounced the bean and favored the Peruvian moniker--guess we know Pierce has never made it to Lima, OH. There is also an Oxford (Miami University), Athens (University of Ohio), New Paris (one upped ya' there), Lebanon, and I'm sure I could go on, but you get the picture. . .

Last week as we were waiting in line to get our Dole Whips the lady next to me was talking to someone on her cell phone. She told them to meet her for some of the best ice cream in the world. She was already in line and would get them all some. She was right beside Tom Sawyer's Treehouse. The person must have been realted to her because they found her with no problem.

That is funny! It's like overhearing someone on their cell phone telling their group, "We'll meet you at Bud Light in 10 minutes." 10 minutes later, they are all gathered at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin...

It is the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House that is near the Dole Whips. It's Tom Sawyer Island.

Did no one else see this post? It IS funny. The lady in question mixed up the names of the attractions and her family found her anyway. It was funny, no fictional stuff here. lol

I saw that. I haven't even been to WDW and I got it. Then again, I could just switch it to Tarzan's Island, or Tom the Pirate's Treehouse (ha) and it would be the same concept.

On Topic....my DH will "moo" at the end of Philharmagic, ITTBAB and the Muppets.

Darn, I thought I was the only one who did that sort of thing.

We were at Epcot two weeks ago, happily shopping in England, when we overhead a lady talking to her daughter, "We aren't at Disney to play." The mom really wanted Pooh's autograph and the daughter really wanted to play with Thomas the train. I thought Disney was all about Play

That remined me of my DS4 who referred to MGM as "Jim Jim Jim."

Ever since, naturally, our whole family routinely refers to that park as "Jim Jim Jim."

Rome and Chili are in NY!

And, for you King Arthur fans, Avalon is in NJ

We laughed at my stepmom all week because she calls any part of the park with kids in it Kiddieland. Doesn't matter if it's Fantasyland or Toontown or Shamu's Happy Harbor or Seuss landing. I'll call her to find out where she is in the park:

Me: Hey, where are ya?
Dsm: Well, we're over here in Kiddieland...
Me: (pause) well, do you see a carousel or a roller coaster or mickey's house?
Dsm: Well, I see a lot of kids..

Gee thanks that helps.

We were at Epcot in January, walking to find a seat for Illuminations, when a family with two small kids in strollers walked by us. We overheard the boy saying to the mom, "Mommy can we stay for the "light show " tonight? Please Mommy, please, please?" At that precise moment, a CM walked past them pushing a cart of light-up toys sold for the show. The tired looking mom and dad passed a glance between them and the mom stopped the cart and said to the children "Oh look, here is the light show! Isn't it wonderful? Wow, I am so glad we got to see it! OK now lets head back to the hotel!" Then they bolted . We were laughing so hard we had to sit down! I guess those little ones will figure out one day that they were cheated out of the real "light show", but I have to sympathize with the worn out parents!

Don't you hate when parents do that? My mom took me and my brother to WDW when I was 12. I hadn't been since I was 3 and didn't remember anything about that trip. Well I wanted to ride Dumbo more than anything! It was the middle of August and HOT, and also very crowded. This was before the days of fastpass when you didn't get on any ride in under an hour. Well my mom must have took one look at the line for Dumbo and decided no way! She told me "oh, you're not allowed to go on Dumbo unless you have a little kid with you, just like the ride at Wonderland, so you're too big to go on alone". Well for YEARS I thought she was telling the truth!

Then I find the Disboards and I'm reading all these stories of adults going on Dumbo... well last year me and DBF went and I finally got my ride on Dumbo, gave good old mom a pice of my mind when I got home as well

 

[dameodie]

I don't agree with parents who decieve their children unnecessarily either. Kids need to learn to accept the fact that they don't always get what they want!! It may be a band-aid to get you through the day, but kids arn't dumb. They remember, and put two and two together, even if it's years later like the above poster and the Dumbo ride!

Sometimes you need to tell white lies, or skim over the truth, or package the truth in kid-friendly portions. But don't out and out lie to them!

Okay, someone else can have a turn on the soapbox now

I hope you just get over it. You may be a mom someday, and during a very hot and humid afternoon also decide that you will do almost anything to get out of the miserable weather with your own children. Just laugh about it, and someday when Mom is very old, this will be one of those stories you all sit around and laugh and talk about. Been there and done that, and now I wish my mom was here to talk about things from my childhood.

We were in the bag check line at Epcot this past Saturday, and the guy in front of us asked the security guard if this was the park with Shrek. The guard had to break the news that Shrek is at Universal .

Ha ha - I used to work (okay still do occasionally) at Shrek. I can't count how many times people would INSIST that Tower of Terror or Space Mountain were in Universal...

Another Universal story BUT Disney-related. A woman was complaining that it was raining and wondered why we couldn't put the dome over the park "like they do at Disney".

Okay, another Universal story - but it could've been at Disney... This didn't happen to me, but one of the team members I worked with:

A woman comes up and asks the TM what time it was going to stop raining. The TM says, "Ma'am, I don't know what time, but hopefully it won't be long." The woman keeps insisting that the TM should know what time it would stop or that he should ask management. She keeps insisting, so finally the TM gets on his radio and goes, "XXX Greeter to God...."

Hm.. maybe I should have put more smiley faces in my post LOL.. it was meant to be a joke more than anything else! I wasn't angry at my mom.. I might have been if I found out when I was 12, but now I just think it's hilarious that she had me believing it for all those years (even though we only went back to Disney once after that time). I DO think I was old enough though that she could have just said "you know what, I don't want to wait 1.5 hours for that".

Hi, I love this thread!! I have been holding out telling this, cause it was ME that said it, and it's embarrassing, but oh so funny after it happened:

We were in the store at the AKL, and of course, the 5 year old has to go around the store touching every toy in the place. If your not familiar with the store there, in front part are very expensive African art. She goes to touch a hand carved Giraffe, and I say "No, No Honey we don't touch that. That's an Adult Toy". As soon as I said I knew what I said, looked up quickly to the other adults around me laughing at what I said. I said "Ooooh, that came out wrong!" lolol I 'm laughing right now still at what a weirdo I must have sounded like.
