>> Funniest Overheard Comments Part II <<

[justgeorgi]

just finished reading all 200+ pages of funnies and have had a wonderful laugh.

My addition -
when i was in about 4th grade and my sister was 3, our single mom saved up and took us to disney for vacation. A couple weeks after we got home mom and sis drove past the holiday inn in our hometown and sis says "mom, look, they have a pool there. We didn't have to go all the way to florida." mom swore she wasn't ever taking us on another vacation again after that.

oh my goodness!

I just got back on Friday and have a couple to add.

The first one comes from my mother. After shopping in MouseGear in EPCOT my mom remembered that she needed to pick up a baby shower gift. She said, "Maybe we should go back to MooseGear". I said, "Mom, this isn't Rocky & Bullwinkle Town, its MOUSEgear!" We joked about it the rest of the trip.

The other was also at EPCOT on the friendship boats. When we were docking the boat tapped the dock a little and this man behind me yelled "ICE BERG!" I laughed a little, Titanic reference, not too bad. Then he continued, "WE SINKING!" I just kept thinking, "We're almost off, it can't get much worse." The he decided it was time to insult the "captain". "Women drivers," he scoffed, "I'd hate to see her car!" I wanted to turn around and punch him in the face! I think someone else actually apologized to the "captain" for his rude and possibly drunken comments!

Speaking of drunken, while I was waiting in line for popcorn before illuminations I saw a 20-something couple and the girl was angry. The guy was staggering and the girl was yelling at him, "You spilled your beer your all over me! Its all down my back and on the front of my shirt. Just go away!" He kept stumbling behind her and she kept insisting he go away...

...It was an interesting day at EPCOT.

Overheard at DHS today:

Mother to child in stroller: "We're having an adult conversation."
Child in stroller in whiny voice: "I don't like conversations!"


A woman behind us at the Indiana Jones show was commenting to a friend on her cellphone about the weather. "Oh, it's hot. I'm sunburned. Can't believe this heat. I couldn't live down here."

Today was about 76F and low humidity. Glad she wasn't here over the summer!

DH and I took my parents to WDW for their first visit in 20 years... we were walking around EPCOT's World Showcase and came to China right as Mulan was coming out for pictures, which my DH was in line for, when my Dad looks over and says "Oh, Look! What a pretty Geisha!" DH and I cracked up and had to explain who Mulan was... we still laugh about that whenever we see Mulan now.

I can't quite figure out how to copy and paste someone else's text - but the comment regarding "why would you want a child that doesn't look like you" is so mean that it's hard to believe that someone would even say it. (not that I don't believe it was said). WOW! I don't know if there's even a snappy, funny comeback that could be made. Maybe, I think she does look like me with an innocent expression on your face?

How about, looking at the child in your arms, looking around and saying, "OMG, where's my kid?"
And I agree, rude and stupid.

This just happened about an hour ago:

So, I was working on planning my upcoming July WDW vacation, and my mom is coming with me. I was showing her all the different parks (me and my bf are going to all 4, and she's going to join us for one) and because she's never been to EPCOT and doesn't know anything about it, I was explaining that park to her in detail. Ultimately, she decided on EPCOT because it's the one park that she hasn't been to yet. But during all of this, she pointed out World Showcase Lagoon on a map I was showing her (this is a legit comment. Not a joke):

Mom- What is that?
Me- It's a lake.
Mom- Can I go swimming in it?
Me- ...no.

And a few minutes later....

Mom- Yeah, my favorite ride at the Magical Kingdom (yes, she said Magical, not Magic) is that chugga chugga choo choo one...
Me- Big Thunder?
Mom- Yeah that one.

I still don't know if I should be laughing hysterically or smashing my head into a wall.

Back when DS was younger and did not want to ride ToT we got him to go through the line to see the preshow. We would just take the Chicken out exit.

So at the point where DD and DW are getting on the Elevator we let the CM know DS and I are not going on. This younger boy and his dad are waiting with us for the Chicken out exit. The Exit is actually a regular elevator if you didn't know. So the doors open and the young boy's dad walks right in and the young boy backs into DS and myself.

He thought "this must be a trick" to get me to go on the ride! We finally convinced him that it was ok to get on THIS elevator and it would not drop like the ride.

I've ridden ToT in 1996 and never again. I do NOT like big drops! DH has been feverishly trying to get me to go on with him, to no avail. We went in August with the kids, no luck. Went in September for our honeymoon and he still had hope. I told him I would go through the line with him but would NOT ride. I actually asked the CM, when getting on the "Chicken exit elevator" if she was 100% sure it was a REAL elevator and not a trick! I knew it wasn't, but still wanted reassurance.

These don't seem as funny now as they were when we were there. Maybe some of you will see the humor.

At Animal Kingdom Park:

At the EE entrance, a Mom to her child: "Are you sure you're ready for THAT?!"

Another Mom, mid-afternoon, in the sweltering Orlando summer sun, after what I'm sure had been a long morning: "I'm not arguing with you anymore. I will leave the park!!" (I'm sure her kid was thinking "I wish you would!")

ok so this summer we were about leave in our bus @ AK, and were
sitting in the bus, when this family totally out of breath runs up,
and goes, "were coming on in a minute. Just wait for the rest of
our family catches up," to the bus driver. So were all sitting there for
about 8 minutes, wen the family FINALLy gets here, and they look at
the sign, and go, "o we dont want this bus...nevermind." everyone was
like are u kidding me?

Last week we were on the tram from the parking lot - which park, I don't remember... AK or DHS. Tram is about to leave but then this couple is walking up. CM says something to the effect of "okay, final boarding, quickly but safely," ready to go. Lady gets on the tram and the dude stops to take a picture of her on it. And no, not just a quick snap picture... does one, and then another one... (and really, pictures on the parking lot tram???) they seemed absolutely oblivious to the fact that they were holding everyone up. some people just think the world revolves around them...

Pick the smashing

 

[pampam]

Pick the smashing

I don't know. I myself laughed almost hysterically.

My Mom is precious. SHe always worked when we were growing up and now that she and Daddy are retired...she gets to go to lots of places.

We were at MVMCP in 2008 and she was attracted to the boats that you drive in front of Jungle Cruise. They were not working that night...she grabbed the wheel and "drove" a boat for about 15 minutes. Feverishly turning the sterring wheel. My DH was loving it. She kept telling us.. I am driving the boat, I am driving the boat. She didn't believe they were turned off...even when we showed her that it costs money to drive the boats and she hadn't put any money in....

DH and I got on ToT with a cute foreign couple. Guy is grinning the whole time and talking to his girlfriend and she is sitting beside me. We are moving through the hallway in the elevator when she turns to me and says "this ride doesn't drop does it". Doh!! I still have the indentions on my arm from when she grabbed me instead of him. She slapped him when we got off the ride.

 

[Pjimmeyer]

I remember my first time on ToT several years ago. I was really nervous with the buildup to it in line and the preshow (I'm not great with heights...especially drops). We get into the cab and strap in. I grab the hand hold on my right with a deathgrip and the gentleman next to me looks down...looks at me and says with some desperation "I think we're going to have a problem." I look at him and say "I won't tell if you won't tell." Two terrified grown men with families held hands and screamed like little girls through the whole ride.

I have two comments overheard last week.

1. We were leaving Animal Kingdom at about 12pm. There was a family on their way in to the park. The mother was pushing a stroller with a baby, under 1 year old.

Mother to Father: "Did we feed the baby this morning?"



Clearly, she didn't feed the baby if she had to ask, but somehow if the father fed the baby that meant they both did? Plus, it was NOON! The poor thing would have been passed out at that point.

2. We were walking around World Showcase and nearing the Japan pavilion. Just as we were heading towards Mitsukoshi to do some shopping we overheard two men, about 30ish, walking past the pavilion towards the American Adventure

"Oh, this is China *points to Japan*....Japan is WAY over there *points across Showcase Lagoon to China*"

DDad and I nearly doubled over laughing.

3. Still in World Showcase. DMom & I had gone to use the restrooms in Morocco. DDad was sitting on a bench by the lagoon. He overheard two 20-something girls...

*Girls look at World Showcase Map, while stumbling towards Morocco, clearly having had a few to drink. Both look up at Morocco* "Oh look, we're in Mexico!"

very funny - the mental picture of you two grown men holding hands to comfort each other. lol

My DD and her friends are in the planning stages of a WDW trip. My DD is a veteran of many trips, so she is coordinating the vacation. Her friend wanted to know which day they'll be going to Universal Studio. My DD replied "we're not going there - it's Disney World". The friend insisted that she knew someone who had a ticket for WDW that included Universal. The friend is adamant that she's right and my DD is wrong. So my DD has told her to buy her own park ticket with the Universal option!! Good luck.

LOL, its amazing how many times I have heard this argument. I have run across several people who are just convinced of the existence of these tickets. .

Actually, the Disney/Universal passes do exist.......if you're going to California. (They are called the Southern California City Passes and they have a 3 day DL/CA parkhopper, 1 day at universal , 1 day at Seaworld, and 1 day at the San Diego zoo.) Some people just get mixed up and think you can get that type deal in Florida too.

But, those 3 days that you mentioned - none of them are Disney parks?

 

[Diznygrl]

I think she means 3 days at DL and DCA, then one day at each non-Disney park, for a total of 6 days.

 

[padmo]

while in line waiting for Voyage of The Little Mermaid at DHS, my oldest daughter overheard a father say to his son, "I can't believe I paid $1200 for you to walk around and eat."

We said it to each other the rest of the trip and still talk about it, lol.

I will be sure to listen for more of these gems as much as possible while there next week!

 

[ktlm]

Yep- 3 Disney days with hoppers for DL/DCA and then 1 day each at the other 3 non-disney places for a total of 6 days. The cost is $269 for adults and $229 for kids. Seems to be really popular with the California Disney visitors. Gee I'm starting to sound like a commercial. Here's proof it exists for those of you skeptics (or those of you planning a California trip):
