Funniest comments you've overheard in WDW

[mac3013]

When we were there last 4th of July, going again in 13 days, it was DS's first rip there. While watching Wishes one night DH was video taping and I was hold DS so he could see everything. He looks at me and says, "Mommy, this is the best day of my life" and we have it on tape.....

Funny stories!! Sorry we didn't run into each other last week! I left your phone number right here on my desk at work

Traveling with the baby made things interesting -- it took us something like 30 minutes every time we stopped for a bathroom break I am surprised we accomplished as much as we did. We did spot some fellow DISers - we ran into JeffNebsky and his son at Soarin', saw LIFERBABE at SAB and ran past kpm76 and meuseman on the way to lunch at CRT. I'm sorry we didn't see you---how was the cruise and what did you think of San Angel Inn?

I've got a funny one! While we were in AK, waiting for Flights of Wonder's next starting time, my dh is pointing and stutters out the following, "Hey, there's the tree!". I'm totally confused wondering what he's talking about...after all The Tree of Life is in the opposite direction. "you know the tree, it's the tree, the one you were telling me about". To which I reply "The Tree of Life is the other way if that's what you mean but, I've never "told" you anything about it". He's pointing "no, over there *she's* hiding. Then it dawned on me he meant DeVine! The kids and I were laughing so hard at him; it was so funny. I had to take a picture of him by a plain old tree in the vicinity as a memory of his stuttering.

We were at the pool at YC and a family was fighting about what to do next. The dad got real mad and said "I don't care what we do, let's just go make some F#$*&! memories".

This just happened and I have to share this even though it is not WDW related at all. I am a Travel Agent and had a couple of clients at my desk talking cruises. The man said to me that what he really wanted was to go on the Titanic. I thought he was joking so I suggested that he look into renting a submarine. He gave me a funny look which made me question that he was joking. I asked him if he maybe meant another ship and he did, he meant the Queen Mary 2. Gave me a good chuckle after he left!

I just remembered our first visit to AK about a month after it's grand opening. We were following a group of older ladies as we all walked towards Africa. As we come over the bridge and get our first look at the Village of Harmambe, one of the ladies says "Boy Disney sure has gone down hill...Look how BAD this place looks already, and it just opened a month ago!"

Here I was amazed at the job Disney did in making it look like an actual African village and this lady thinks the place looks like a dump!

We were walking past a meet and greet with Woody and Jessie in MK in May. We overheard a guy saying "hey look they gave Woody a girlfiend, Is she new?"- Had to smile at that one!

I just found this thread and I HAVE to contribute!!!

In February 2004, my boyfriend and I were seated at Beirgarden in the Germany Pavillion with a family from North Carolina - there was a grandmother, a mother and 2 children, a boy 12 and a girl about 5 or 6. When my boyfriend and I had returned with our food, the boy struck up a conversation with me because he liked "my accent" (I'm from Toronto!!!)

When we said where we were from, the mother was shocked and exclaimed that we couldn't be because we weren't saying "eh" at the end of every sentence. I decided to make fun of her because it wasn't the first time I had heard that comment for the day so I said, "that's because we gots post-secondary ed-u-ma-cation".

She looked slightly baffled and asked if that was "like grade school"???


AND THEN... she asked us how we got out of our country with all the snow and 'frozen stuff' we get up there. I asked her if she had ever been to California and she said no and I politely pointed out to her that the northern part of California (think - Redding and Yreka) is basically on the same latitude as parts of Ontario.

Her son had to tell her what latitude was and that Ontario (the province) wasn't in the U.S. because I was laughing so hard and couldn't!!!

Well, I said it myself, and it made other people laugh, but since they're probably not DISers, I guess I'll have to post it myself. After a failed attempt at dinner at Le Cellier due to 20-month-old DS crying and being disagreeable, I decided to take both kids to get ice cream while DH finished his meal in peace. We head out around World Showcase, in the direction of Mexico. There, I found margaritas (and boy was I tempted) but no ice cream. We keep walking. And walking. Finally I find ice cream at "The Outpost," that group of kiosks that are vaguely African in theme. I knew by this time that DH would have finished his meal and would be looking for us near Canada, and here we were, practically around the World from him.

As we were heading back toward Canada, we met up with DH in the vacinity of Mexico. Apologizing for the delay (and looking pretty haggard by now), I said, "It is no exaggeration when I say we had to go all the way to Africa for ice cream!" The family next to us cracked up.

The funniest thing I ever heard at Disney came out of my mother's mouth. We were on main street waiting for the daytime parade (1994 maybe) and someone who spoke little English was trying to get closer to the road. My little sister, brother, and myself were sitting on the curb with our parents next to us when these people started pushing us off the curb. My mother very nicely asked them to stop and explained we had been waiting a long time. However the pushing did not stop. After awhile my mother packed us up and said to the gentlmen: "May the birds of paradise poop on you." When we left the man was scratching his head with a strange look on his face.

Its not a comment, but there was an asian woman about 85 yrs old, and her shirt, in huge letters on the front said EAT S%$T!

Thanks for the laugh so late at night!!

My dh and I went to Disney on our honeymoon 'way back' in Oct of 93. We were having lunch at Pinocchio's and this cute little kid with an English accent was quite upset about the lettuce on his burger. "Mummy, I don't want salad on my burger"....We thought is was cute.....and now we always say salad for the lettuce and tomato on a sandwich or burger!

At least my DD isn't the only one who calls lettuce salad. Maybe she has a little British in her!

How funny! I heard something very similar when we were there in May! I was waiting outside the restrooms in Africa for the rest of our group when I overheard a group of people talking about how worn down both Africa and Asia looked! One woman was complaining about how terrible the ground was - all uneven, dirty, cracks, etc. and said "you'd think Disney could keep this place up - they don't seem to think AK is as important as the Magic Kingdom - the roads there look great!" Another woman in the group replied "I think this was a big parking lot or something before they built the park. They must have just left the parking lot and built this on top of it to save money."

I'm with you - I thought Disney did an amazing job of making it look authentic, and loved the close attention to detail!!

That is funny. We had a couple of athletic training students from Toronto here and they had some similar stories to tell.

To be fair though it does happen the other way. We work mostly outside in the evening, and it can get pretty cold and windy out. Upper 30's with wind chill on top of that. There's always someone from Canada, or Michigan, or somewhere up north that says, "I can't believe it's cold, this is Florida!" I guess they think we just walk around in shorts and tank tops every day of the year.

Yes, but you folks in Florida carry it to extremes. I was there the end of February this year. The temperature was in the high 60's and low 70's. I had just left Vermont where the temperature had been steady at about -18 degrees for the previous week. I was wearing shorts with a t-shirt in the parks and you Floridians were shivering, wearing parkas. Tickled the heck out of me.

I have to laugh at the people from up north talking about keeping cool and staying hydrated at WDW. You're just walking around! I played football, baseball, and soccer in worse heat.

I know it's not really a laughing matter, they obviously aren't used to the heat and are more susceptible to heat related illness. I just get a chuckle watching people walking around with those spray bottle fans and looking like they just finished running a marathon. Meanwhile I'm walking around barely breaking a sweat and telling my friend, "you know it's pretty nice out today."

YEP, I always find that a little cute too. They have to know I am a tourist because I am in tank tops and shorts when its in the low 70's. Geeze when we travel down its always a balmy 8 degrees or something around here.

We may not be able to handle extreme heat but you all couldn't survive in our cold either
