Have you ever had a shock?

Okay, here's mine

We were at MGM when a large family from England stopped at the stand where we were buying a Mickey hat. One of the little girls asked, "Mum, why do they sound so odd?" The grandmother replied, "We sound different to them, too." My DH, who can imitate any accent, replied, "I don't think you sound odd at all." In his best English accent. GM replied, "That's because you're English dear." I had to step in and say, "Oh, no he's not! He's an Okie from Tulsa, Oklahoma!" At this my DH said to the woman, " I'm not really English." Bless her heart, she just about passed out, saying "Oh, I can't look at you. You look and sound just like Richard Gere." Fanning herself, the whole time. My husbands head was almost too big to fit in the RR.

And next we were in MK waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise, when a woman with a stroller, steam rolls my DS age 6. He falls to the pavement. skins his knee. I help him up. He's got blood running down his leg. I ask if he's okay, and he starts crying. I turn to the woman, sure that he must have stepped in front of her, because who would run down a child. I start to apologize, and she says to me, "He should have moved." If my mouth had not been hanging open, and my child had not been howling in pain from the road rash on his knee, i would have let her have it. But I tended to my bleeding child, as she rushed off.

Just watch out for the weird lady in the wheelchair with her daughter's wheelchair attached to hers, she is there every weekend and I hear she is completely bonkers!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

are you talking about the one who sits at Beauty and the Beast at the Studios all day for every show?

Errrr, no it was a joke on myself! We do go to BatB once a month or so.... my daughter and I are both in wheelchairs that are connected together so that one person acan push both....We go to WDW every weekend.....
 
Nah it's not Beauty and the Beast. It's Tarzan all day. BTW, I saw that show before I left and I LOVED it. I hope to see it again before it closes. I think the shows I loved more then Tarzan are Festival of the Lion King (LOVED it), and Cinderellabration (saw it almost every day. Know most of the cast and crew by name). By the way, I'm sorry I wasn't able to say goodbye to you before I left, MommytoMJM. I hope to come back for a visit in January.
 

That's funny- when I used to work at the Studios, every few weeks this woman came in and stayed at B&theB all day, every show, and she had her pet dog, dead and taxidermied in her bag. It was terrible. She sometimes brought her daughter, so that's what I first thought of! That's my biggest Disney shock!

Mmmmmm... I think I may make a road trip down to Jim's on South Street today! (Forget Pat's & Gino's!)
Have one for me! It's been NINE YEARS since I had my last steak at Jim's.

Hmmm... A friend and I are going to Lancaster next week to hit the outlets before we start work again (both teachers). Wasn't going to drive all the way to Phila but I guess I'll have to hit Jim's now... and of course, Rita's. (I actually had a friend bring me a quart of Rita's in a COOLER one year up to Syracuse -- I don't get back to Philly often enough! LOL)
 
The most shocking moments I've had have included people from "up north" who either visit or move to florida and then complain about the weather, the food, the water...you name it. :rolleyes:

If you miss it that much...go home. Take a friend with you! :wave2:

Yes, it does. Thank you. :love2:

i was just having fun!

no worries. I usually complain about where I am from, not where I am going.

Then again, there is alot to complain about 'round here.
 
Nope, I moved here and LOVE it! :)

Someone coming up to me in a hotel lobby and asking me if they could use my laptop to check their email, that was a shock! Note to self: tell DM I wanna stay in hotels with WiFi in the ROOMS!

That is so gross, a taxidermied dog!!!!! I would have to find a way to sneak that into a picture, no one would belive me.

Coming from another Western New Yorker............... ::yes:: ..............deltachi8 is correct!
 
Several years ago, the first New Years that ToT was open, my sister and some friends were waiting in line to ride it. Even though it was December, it was really hot that day (warmer that usual -- short and t-shirt weather) and my sister was probably dehydrated. It was a long line, so they were standing in the hot for a while. At some point my sister couldn't take it anymore and she literally passed out onto the man in line in front of her. As her friends were helping her up and she came to (she was fine once she got some water), the man's wife (or girlfriend, whatever) glares at my sister and mutters 'he's MINE'. She must have not realized that my sister had fainted and that's why she was acutally hanging on this guy -- she probably thought my sister was just hitting on him in some bizarre way! :rotfl:

Coming from a former Western New Yorker (and still in the state), there are also plenty of things to be happy about! :cheer2: I LOVE NY! :cheer2:

You're right - but our dream is to move down to Florida for the winters & had back up north for summers. I'm not a cold weather fan!
 
Okay, I'm from Central NY but can I join in the cheer?? :cheer2:

I'll take four seasons and the price of owning a home here ANYTIME.
