Another line from my trip last week which wasn't so funny. I went into the bat viewing area in Animal Kingdom. Now, the window to view the bats is open with no glass...

This dad lifts his daughter up to see the bats and tries to put her on the window sill of the aformentioned open window, for which the cast member asked him to take his daughter down.

To which he replied, "You should change your name from 'The Happiest Place On Earth' to 'The Most Rules On Earth'."

Wow! Apparently common sense was also on vacation....

That must be a recurring problem. Back when they had Discovery Island (before AK) we saw a dad put his small child on top of the railing around the alligator pit. Didn't he know those things can jump?

Last year I heard a lady say, "I love the summer because the sun makes my arm hair turn clear!"

I laughed for days!

Funniest thing for me was sitting on seeds ride and listening to the couple infront of us discussing how glad they were they had been able to ditch mother inlaw. All they did was complain about her for the entire ride. When we were getting off his mother in law had been on same boat in the back row it was to funny. Honestly she was so upset it was a show for all.

We were in line for Test Track and a couple behind us was trying to explain to their 4 yr old son that the ride will be fun and it's just like driving in a car. Our DS was very anxious when going on new rides so we tried to help the mom and dad out by explaining the ride a little to the boy.

You just go over some bumpy roads and drive up some hills then you get to go outside and drive around the building. Mom and dad thanked us for being so nice.

So we go on the ride and they end up in the back seat to our car. We actually switch with them because they thought he would be better in the back seat. As we are going they are chatting up the ride and saying see it's not bad. This is fun.

We get to the part where we start doing fast corners and hill climbs and the little boy starts saying over and over "This is Not very fun" "This is not very fun"

He did not cry even on the high speed loop. Then he finally broke down when we had to wait to get to the exit spot. "I want to get off"

We found it cute that he threw his parents words back at them when they kept saying "This will be fun" and he said "This is not very fun"

This thread it too cute to let die.

We saw Ariel and Eric together for a M&G on the Adventureland terr. A little girl came up to her and asked where their baby was since they were both out in the park. Ariel said that she was playing with Scuttle and the girl insisted this was a very bad idea, that even though Sebastian was mean, he would take good care of her. But she did announce that she was very happy that Ariel didn't put her into daycare because that is NOT fun.

My nephew, who is about 5 was standing in the Norway store after riding Maelstrom and he picked up a viking helmet and turned to his little brother and said "Jake, would you like to go viking with me today?" He put the helmet on and grabed another for his brother and said "Jake, put this on and you can be a viker too"

Epcot at the end of the day. The driver was trying to get the people to move to the back of the bus going to Pop century. They went to the back door and stopped (as usual). He got off the bus, went to the back door, opened it, and told everyone to move back. They did. Then, he got on the front of the bus again, and told them to form 2 lines down the aisle of the bus. 2 lines. This line is for POP, and this line is for Century.

I remembered another one. Also in the bathroom. lol

I was quietly doing my business and out of nowhere, a small child in the stall next to me wails, "No! Pleasedon'tflush, pleasedon'tflush, pleasedon'tflush! I'm not readyyyyyy!"

I about died trying to hold in my giggles. I finished my business and went to the sinks. Then the mom and the little girl came out of the next stall. I gave her a smile and she said, "I'm so sorry about that. The automatic toilets have gotten her in the past."

I chuckled and left, but I keep wondering what she meant by "gotten her."

That sounds like my DD as well. She hates the automatic flushers because if she leans too far forward, it may flush while she is still sitting on it. She screams like you wouldn't believe when that happens. Scares the poop out of her! Which is why I carry post it notes everywhere now just in case. And they have to be the post-it brand because the cheaper ones don't stick as well (yeah, the potty got her again).

Wouldn't that be a good thing.

This thread is hilarious

I was a CP from last February-August, working at the main gate of Epcot, and I have reeeeeeeally long hair (to the bottom of my rear). So one night towards closing, but quite there yet, I was standing at my entrance not really doing anything, and suddenly I hear a little girl behind me yell, "Look, Mommy, she has long hair like Rapunzel!" Her mom pulled her away before I could react, but it was the cutest thing. :

And of course, I have my fair share of stupid guest comments, too. My favorite's "Where's the Epcot ball?"

I got that from a little girl where I work. "Mommy, she's like Tangled!" Made my day.

I have to laugh everytime we are in the Magic Kingdom when I think about the guy that kept telling his family that he was not leaving without seeing the "dancing bear jubilee" first. I hope he got to see it because that memory always makes my day!

I love this thread! Was this in Oct 2008? That so could have been my DH! He kept calling it a "jubilee." After it was over, DS (5 at the time) said, "That wasn't much of a jubilee.". I didn't think he even knew what jubilee meant! But now, anytime we see a bummer movie or show, I say, That wasn't much of a Jubilee!

What a great thread!
I'm sure I was one of those people who asked "What time is the 3:00 parade" or "Does this monorail go to Animal Kingdom?"

 

[Belle83]

We were watching Captain EO and overheard the following from the guy and his daughter behind us:

"Daddy is that a boy?"

"Yes honey"

a few minutes go by...

"But is it supposed to be a boy?"

Not in WDW, but:

When I was planning my 2009 trip, the first time with my sons, my mother made a funny comment. Let me peface this by saying she has never been to WDW, has no interest in anything WDW related, not even when I was in the CP.

Mom: I don't know why you are bringing the boys to Disney, they are too young.

Me: Mom, they are 3 and 5. They are going to have a great time.

Mom: But what does Disney have that they can actually do? I mean, they won't be able to ride ANYTHING!

Me:

I've thought of three. First two are from my Disney Honeymoon in 1998.

1. DH and I were eating lunch at the Garden Grill in Epcot. As we were circling DH noticed the animatronic chickens in the farm scene. He thought it was really cool that they were so well trained to stay in one place. I said I was pretty sure they weren't real but he kept insisting that they were. So the next time our waitress came by he asked her if they were real! She replied without missing a beat:

"Of course they are, we just nail their feet to the ground so they stay in one place".

2. Same vacation, different restaurant. We were at Prime Time in HS. The waiter keep picking on DH over and over. Elbows off the table, hat off at the table, etc, etc. He never said one word to me. When our food came, I didn't like my green beans so DH ate them. He had a meal with mushrooms on top which neither of us would eat. Trying not to get in trouble, he hid them under a napkin. The waiter came over and said "let's see what you are hiding under that napkin. Oh, mushrooms, I'll let that one slide". DH was frustrated at this point so he said (in his best 5 year old voice) "well she didn't eat her green beans, I ate them for her". To which the waiter replied:

"It's not very nice to tattle on someone!"

This last one is more of a funny story rather than something said. It happened when I was there in May 2011 with friends.

3. My friends gave out on me and I was at HS by myself. It was the most crowded I have ever seen (I've only gone at slow times) with a lot of cheerleader groups running around. I had just waited an hour in the single rider line for RnR and was trying to get a quick bite to eat at the Farmer's Market before catching the first Fantasmic show. There was standing room only so a lot of people were sitting on curbs and walls to eat. A group of cheerleaders was sitting on a wall and a very brave squirrel came down a tree behind them and stole an entire hamburger from one of the girls plates! Needless to say, that was some of the loudest screaming I've heard in a while.

But at least there was a well fed squirrel!
