Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[SweaterInJune]

Where to begin?! Working for Disney, you hear it all...

~I began a safari one day this spring, and as is often the case, the guests behind me scoffed when I told everyone to remain completely seated because of rugged terrain, water, and wild animals. The male of this couple kept talking about how those "robot bongo-things" look so real... This repeated with several of the animals until we came upon a mama and baby reticulated giraffe out on the savannah. "Those are so fake!" he exclaims and as if on cue, the baby takes off, at race speeds, dashing past the truck to the other side of the savannah.

"Woah! How'd you guys get a robot to do that?"

***A side note*** I loved when people allude to fake animals when the safari begins. On a good day, it's not long before you see an animal relieve itself and I love to respond to the loud groans of disgust(and realization) with, "That's right, Folks! You won't get a view like that on The Jungle Cruise!"

While working as a greeter at the Main Street Station in MK one day, I was approached by a woman who asked, ever-so-kindly if we could turn the clouds off.

"I beg your pardon?" I asked with a smile.

"The clouds! On the sky dome!" (She's pointing up and I follow her gaze).

"The sky dome? I assure there is no dome over the MK. That's the actual sky," I say as politely as I can.

"You guys and your 'Disney Magic'...fine, don't ruin the 'secret', but just between you and me...is the A/C broken today?"

I was at a total loss...she was DEAD SERIOUS!

One day, while leaving Epcot with friends we were about to pass under Spaceship Earth(which had the glove/wand add-on) when someone behind us asks, quite loudly, "What is that thing? Is that supposed to be Mickey's hand?!"

A few years ago my mom and I were at MVMCP and just walking around looking for a place to stand before the parade started. A few feet ahead of us, a woman and her husband were both pushing strollers with kids inside, also looking for a place to stand. By this point, most of the spots were taken and there were lots of families standing on the curb. The husband was slightly ahead of his wife, and she was apparently very frustrated with her husband because she suddenly shouted, "Where the H*LL are you GOING?!

Another story:
My mom walked into the restroom at one of the parks, and a mother was in a stall with the door open (so everyone could see ) helping her young daughter use the toilet. The little girl was in the process of pushing out her waste and her mother said, "oh, that just slipped right out!"

Why the woman did not close the stall door is BEYOND me. Very disgusting.

I have been sharing that one with coworkers all morning LOL! But what I want to know is -- what happens when it rains?? Is that more of Disney's "magic" trying to recreate real rain in a small town????????????? I thought I was daft sometimes!!

Now you KNOW I'm going to say this to someone and be so deadpan about it in January just to have it show up on these boards right???

I was working at Buzz Lightyear one day. We have "batteries" all over the attraction with all kinds of "sizes" on them. At one point in the internal queue, there is a stack of 4. I walking past a woman in the queue when she hollered out to her husband "Hey, check out the Double D's!".

Well, the place fell silent for a moment and then she said "OMG!" and EVERYBODY started to giggle. I walked away chuckling.

One time I was walking towards the tram in the MK parking lot. I walked past ths couple who were very "frustrated" trying to undo their stroller. The father said "How the F**k does this thing work." I had my son with me at the time, and he looked mortified.

The dad looked over at me and said "Sorry, this is Disney and the happiest place on earth, that's just how we talk where we are from."

I was a little embarrassed and never know what to say at these times and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "Well, technically, we are just in parking lot."

His wife said "Yeah, just don't use that F***in language when we get into the park."

When I worked at Epcot, I really did have someone ask me this! It had started to rain and this woman stomped over to me and told me to have them shut the rain off. I told her I was very sorry but Disney did not have any control over the weather, and she said "YES you do! You turn on the rain so that people have to buy those yellow ponchos!"

I can't recall anything I might have overheard other people saying on my trip in November... I was just too busy to be listening!

But I found this really funny. More than once, maybe two or 3 times, someone came up to me in gift shops and asked if I worked there!! What made them think I was a CM?! was it the Crocs I was wearing? the messenger bag hanging off me? I wish!

I had this happen not at WDW, but at a local amusement park in the arcade
I wasn't wearing anything that resembled what the employees wore. I had on tropical print shorts and a white Tshirt that had the matching print on the front and I was hold DD who was a newborn at the time standing next the the stroller and DS who was playing a game. The employees had on solid colored pullover tops with collars and khaki pants or shorts.
I had this older lady come up to me and ask me for change (for a 5 I believe). I pointed to the token machine thinking that's what she was looking for. She was like "no I want change for a 5". I told her to go up to the counter and ask an employee. She was like "but I'm asking you". It kept going back and forth. I said something like "I don't have change, I'm certain an employee can help you". She then argued with me that was an employee because I was wearing a fanny pack. She then said she was going to report me and stormed off the the counter. I saw her up there ranting and pointing at me. I wish I had though to go up there just to over hear her being told I was not an employee.

I can definitely relate, too! At a new job a couple of years ago they took me out to lunch on my first day, and the waitress offered me the children's menu! And i was 31!

haha... I am almost 21 and married (and barely 5 foot tall), and last Christmas, while I was Christmas shopping with my mom, a lady at Kohl's was ringing up my stuff. Well my mom was with me, but she walked away to talk to my aunt before she was done ringing me up. Well when everything was rung up, the lady looked at me and was like, and who is going to pay for this. (as I was pulling my wallet out of my purse) I was like uhhh me... and she was like oh, I didn't realize you were old enough to have a credit card! I was like umm lady I have had a credit card for a while now lol.

THEN that same Christmas time, I was at Michael's with my husband, and she rang me up, and when I went to pay, she flat out said, "Um how old are you?!" and I was like excuse me? And she said, well I just didn't know if this was your card or not because you don't look nearly old enough to have a card..." uhh couldn't she have just asked to see my license... yes I am old enough to drive...

Yeah, I'm the same height. I think that's what does it.

You should come over to the Chicago thread!

By no means this is not the funniest but it was sure cute and innocent.

During our recent trip a very young cute little girl was standing outside..in front of the Haunted Mansion next to where the entrance line begins. She was not taller than 3 feet tall...looked a little dazed. She most likely had recently got off the ride with her parents who were next to her. Looking at us with her big blue eyes as we started to enter the chain at the entrance area she said with an innocent but serious demeanor, " STOP! It's a haunted house."

She was warning us...it was so cute and would have made a great video.

I was on a resort bus that had the music (as well as the "welcome aboard the Walt Disney Transportation system" stuff) broken, so the bus was very quiet. There was a little boy, about 4 years old or so, who kept repeating "If you are standing, please hold onto the handrails" (and some variations of that). His parents said they'd ridden the monorail too many times. It was very cute because he'd say it whenever someone got on the bus. He also kept saying something like "another 1.9 miles, stay to the right, then the left" as if he were a GPS. His parents said he'd been around the GPS too much, too.

 

[emmabemmainc]

Here is one from a LONG time ago!

My grandparents used to take me and my 2 cousins down to WDW every year..and one year, we were standing in line to get on a bus back to the resort. My then 14 year old cousin, decided to be mean, as only brothers can, and started putting things in his younger brothers hair. We're talking things off the ground--gross!
Well, the last thing he put in was a cigarette butt. He then looked at all of us and said, "Look, he's a butthead!!"

Needless to say, being 15, I found that hysterical, and couldn't stop laughing. Unfortunately, his 8 year old brother didn't think it was so funny, and couldn't stop crying.

We still bring it up now and we ALL get a good laugh out of it--I guess we all find that kind of humor funny still!

I have a better one for you! At the reception of my wedding I had to have my dress bustled there because we didn't do it at the church. Anyway, we're in the bathroom at the hotel and a woman walks in and looks at me and my bridemaids and asks if I was the junior bride!! I am also short and was only 20 but come on, who buys a dress like that for a junior bride!
