Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[diseverestfan]

In the Soarin' pre-show area, when you get your pre-flight instructions, the guy comes on and says "Hello, my name is Patrick, and I'll be your chief flight attendant today" my absolutely scared-out-of-her-pants mother in law screams "HIM"!!!!! at the top of her lungs. The entire boarding area broke up, well, except for her husband, who was ever so slightly embarrassed.
10 months later, we all get a kick out of recalling that wonderous moment!

Is she a Seinfeld fan by any chance?

Reminds me somehow of my favorite Jack Handey quote:

"One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late."

My husband refuses to allow me to do this to my nephews when they visit us here in FL.

That sounds just like my dad.

I've got one now that we're back from our first trip in 15 years!

When we walked into Animal Kingdom, my MIL was in awe of the Tree of Life. She kept going on and on about the carvings and how beautiful it was and then said, "I wonder how old that tree is?"

She was a bit embarassed when we told her how the Tree of Life was really made. She even admitted that she thought they'd found that tree then built Animal Kingdom around it. Oh well, hate it for her, that's just too good for me to let go any time soon.

I did the same thing when it openned! I thought they had carved into a large tree! Then of course I was told it was basically a GIANT sculpture made of concrete and plastics!

My dd4 our first night at Pop Century, having only just arrived and not going to the parks until the next day:

DD - "This is NOT Disneyworld!"
Me - "Yes it is. Why do you say that?"
DD - "WHERE are the RIDES? WHERE are the PRINCESSES?!?"
Me - The rides are at the parks, and the princesses, well, it is past their bedtimes, and they need their sleep so you can have breakfast with them in the morning.
DD - BIG eyes. "OH!" Then she put her head on the pillow and went to sleep!


But the absolute most funny one:
DS6 is not the quickest (I do mean speed wise) child, due to a recall issue caused by a brain injury, but he is very bright all around. So he usually likes to tell jokes, but doesn't come up with one liners. When he does, we really enjoy it.

So he, and I, and my dd13 and ds11 waited in line to meet Jack Sparrow.

They usher you in like he's the King of England or something, which I think is funny on its own.

The kid's get Jack to sign their book, pose for pic, and we are headed for the door.

I say "Thank you Jack! Oh, I mean CAPTAIN Jack!" And he nods at my correctess, just as ds6 chimes in "We call the MONKEY Jack!!!"


We were out the door before we could see Jack's reaction, but we were just dying!
I didn't even know ds remembered lines from the movie.
Now whenever we see the Photopass pic we all say "We call the Monkey Jack!" LOL

2) On our first day this past January, my sister and I decided to go to EPCOT while we waited for my friend's already very delayed flight to arrive. We had heard from the nice CM at Pop's gift shop that Soarin' frequently ran out of Fastpasses pretty early. So we planned to head straight for the land to ride it before it got too bad. We get over there, see that the line is only 20 minutes long so we get in line. It ended up being shorter than that but whatever. I was so excited that about halfway through I just started singing that Breaking Free song from HSM (you know the part that goes "Soarin'! Flyin'!") at the top of my lungs. People were staring. I had that song in my head the rest of the day and everytime someone would mention Soarin', I'd burst into song.

:

My 6 year old dd did that everytime we rode that ride (5 times) and then for hours (and I do mean hours) after each individual ride. The worst of it is that we'd finally get her to stop only to realize that we were humming it ourselves!

 

[Applemomma]

One of the oddest things I heard was in the Magic Kingdom immediately after the 3:00 parade. A lady was walking through Fronteirland clutching a map and saying to her friend "Don't they do a parade around here somewhere?".

The sad thing was that you could literally see the end of the parade moving away from this woman....if she'd only turned around......

I just posted this on the Podcast thread, but I thought I would mention it here as it was my most recent "overheard" chuckle.

In the midst of the extended Year of a Million Dreams, cast members are beginning to refer to 2008 as the Year of a Million Refurbishments!

I thought that was pretty darn funny.

 

[disneymd33]

My financee and I took a "pre-honeymoon honeymoon," as it has been affectionately referred to by her parents, last year. We had an excellent bus driver who was very interactive on our ride to Animal Kingdom. At one point, he asked where everyone was from. We heard the normal replies like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Britian... then from the back of the bus a little boy, probably about 4 years old yells, "ANIMAL KINGDOM!" Needless to say, everyone on the bus was cracking up. When we pulled up to the enterance of Animal Kingdom, the bus driver said, "where's the kid from Animal Kingdom? You're home!" Those are the moments that keep us all coming back...

 

[Teacher03]

These are funny, keep them coming!

Here's one for the adults:

We were trying to teach DD(4 - almost 5) the names of the different parks. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and MGM..........

So, we are on the bus ride home and I asked her what park we were just at with the big ball.

She yells, "Epcock!"

Needless to say, every adult on the bus was laughing..........

!

 

[bumbershoot]

Then on the bus back to our resort after a night at MK came a discussion with a little boy (probably around 3) and his dad sitting right behind us and we got a kick out of it. The whole conversation was just great, but this snippet was our favorite:
Boy: Do you know what the Yeti is?
Dad: What is the Yeti?
Boy: The Yeti is a kind of thing.
Dad: Do you think the Yeti might be a creature who lives up in cold mountains?
Boy: No. The Yeti is Pablo.
Dad: Pablo? Who is Pablo?
Boy: The Yeti!
Dad: Ok.

Just in case you (or anyone else) don't know...that's a kid who watches The Backyardigans!

The yeti episode is what helped us convince DS that he could try out the Matterhorn on our recent Disneyland trip. The show is about a group of 5 'children' who have vivid imaginations, so vivid that the audience sees what they are seeing. The Yeti episode is about Pablo pretending to be a Yeti, and the others are explorers and yeti experts, trying to track him. They even find Yeti droppings, which are raisins, b/c the Yeti loves raisins but is clumsy and is always *dropping* them.

DS didn't mind the yeti on matterhorn at all. The actual ride, however, was a different matter.

This one may have been told before, but everytime I think of it, it makes me
smile...

Several years ago I had called in to make a dining reservation and the CM I spoke with shared this with me. Apperently that day was a different CM's birthday and all the operators were throwing her a short little party. The CM I
was speaking to told me that the women she was making a reservation for commented about the noise, asking what all the noise was, it sounded like everyone was having alot of fun. She explained the b-day party and said that Chip and Dale had made a suprise visit to the birthday girl, as they are
her favorite. At that point the phone was silent and the CM asked if the she
was still on the line. The miffed sounding lady stated that "If Disney is the kind of company that allows the Chip-n-Dales into there work areas, perhaps this was not where her family should vacation, and hung up the line!


I think that's a riot!

Bob.

Not much online can actually make me LOL, but this one did it! Soooo funny! I've gotta share this one with my DH!

Reminds me somehow of my favorite Jack Handey quote:

He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late."

My husband refuses to allow me to do this to my nephews when they visit us here in FL.

For some reason that reminded me of a story that the CM that did my Traditions class when I did the college program told us. A CM was working at the turnstyles and this young kid takes off running way ahead of his parents and gets to the turnstyles first. Mom and dad are still way back there and joking, the CM said to the kid, "Sorry - no tickey, no Mickey." Apparently the kid started bawling and the CM got into a heap of trouble. We randomly quote that though in my house

 

[cassi06403]

My DH and I were getting on the concierge elevator at GF to go to our room and another couple entered the elevator right behind us. It was obvious that the woman was not in a good mood. After the doors closed, the woman said to her husband "These people here are so rude. Obviously they have no idea how much money we have." It took all of my willpower not to burst into laughter.

Yes, I'm working my way backward through the post to catch up with where I left off last time - annoying, I know!

But - this post made me think of an idea! If they have THAT much money, then maybe if they gave me half, people would be less rude to them?! What do you think - would that work? I bet those would be interesting people to follow around - it would be just like watching a tv show!

This episode was on today. DH is always confused when DD is talking about Tyrone and Uniqua. He has no clue who they are.

 

[DisneyMom5]

My dd overheard this at The Living Seas while queing for the Clam shells ride:

Mom: "I don't think I'll like this ride. It's dark."
Teenage son: "It's ok mom. It's just like Stitch, but with fish."



Yeah, it's JUST like Stitch.

 

[DisneyGirl625]

It was funny at the time but my first time riding ToT our "elevator" was starting to go up for the first drop and all of a sudden when we're getting ready to drop some kid yells "anyone have a Myspace??" and almost everyone on the ride said yes . Its kind of a you had to be there moment.

 

[ClaraBug]

"We call the MONKEY Jack!!!"

Even my DH laughed when I read this to him!!

That line has got to be my all time favorite now~

I died when I read that...
