Odd things you've overheard in the parks

[O2H O2H]

This one was overheard by others from MY kid, lol. My ds was SO hard to potty train, and was 3 when we got AP's to DLR. We were in line for something and he announced he had to go. I was darn well going to take him! So I left my middle son with my daughter (she was old enough) in line, and zoomed him in the bathroom. He didn't make it, so I cleaned him up and then decided to go myself before getting back in line.

DS3 decides that he is FASCINATED by me going, and begins a LOUD and nonstop narration of everything that I am doing. He squats down to try to get a good view, then gets frustrated, "Mommy! I can't see! I can't see what you are doing. Mommy, You are going peepee? You are going peepee out your butt? Oh my gosh mommy, that is such a good job! <begins clapping wildly> Mommy that is such a good job. Yeah, mommy, going potty in the big toilet. Good job mommy! Can you go poopy now? Can you just try? Come on mommy, give it a try."

I tried numerous times to get him to stop, or at least be a little quieter, to no avail. I heard lots of giggles and snickers from all around the bathroom the whole time. As we exited the stall, I got applause and numerous "Good job, mommy!"s.

KIDS!!!

Overheard by everyone waiting around us in line at the Jungle Cruise:

DD(6): You're a liar.
Me: Whaaat??????
DD: You're a liar. For your work. You're a liar.
Me: *sigh* That's lawyer, honey.
Everyone: BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

When DD was 3 she very loudly proclaimed "Mama, I need a BRA!" while in line for IASW. I thought I misheard her and asked what she wanted, "a BRA, mom! You know, bras? I need a bra!".. the kid wanted a ponytail holder, and why she thought they were called bras is still beyond me! Everyone around us got a good chuckle out of it.

As a mom of a 2.5 year old this had me cracking up with tears in my eyes. She is potty trained and I generally go when I take her. Always love the wonderful commentary. Last weekend a lady in the stall over from us tooted and my dd yelled very loudly "Hahahah mommy you tooted!!" Soooo embarrassing. This had happened many times I'm pretty much past being embarrassed haha!

On a Disney bus one morning heading over to Magic Kingdom. I was sitting across from what looked to be a Mother and younger daughter. I hear the mother tell her daughter "Look Cinderella's Castle" I was thinking...hmm...that is strange you can't see it on the bus. So I looked at what she is pointing at and it is SPACE MOUNTAIN! The mother and daughter continued to be excited to see Cinderella's Castle. My son and I just looked at each other like who is going to tell them that isn't the Castle! I figured they will figure it out soon enough. Although I would have loved to see the mother's face when she found out Space Mountain is not Cinderella's Castle. As an inside joke, sometimes my son and I will joke "Look Cinderella's Castle" and point to SM. I am such people think we are nuts!

Lol either I was on that bus or its a common mistake. I've heard the same thing. I tried to explain nope you can't see Cindy's house from here those are the "spires of space mountain".

We were on the Express monorail a few weeks ago, leaving MK. As we got off at the TTC, a boy who looked like he was 6 or 7 started to follow us off. His mom stopped him and said, "No, honey, we're not getting off here." I guess maybe they were staying at the Contemporary? I wonder what their reaction was when they got back to MK again.

 

[BuzzinDownToDisney]

We experienced some similar when waiting for Chip and Dale at Epcot. A lady with her family starting singing "Alvin, Simon, Theodore!" When she met them in front of us. LOL

This one is often intentional as it normally gets a great reaction from them. Calling them The Chipmunks or asking if they're rats can lead to hilarity.

Literally LOL'd at this. As a Dad to a potty training 3yo, I can relate. He loves announcing, with great pride, when Mommy or Daddy go poopy.

I was buying skirts for my trip in August and the lady at Nordstroms who was checking me out said she once was on a trip in Orlando for business and they 'went and ate at a restaurant in Disney, but that was all she saw and it was nice".

I at this. I've been in restrooms where little kids in the big stall with their mom start asking about what <i>I'm</i> doing!

last year at US (I know) DD 3 was super excited when she saw Woody Woodpecker and really really wanted to go up and meet him.

When I asked her if she wanted to see Woody Woodpecker she looked at me and said

"No Mom that is a JAYHAWK" very loudly and several around us started to giggle.

Unfortunately, I have no Disney related contributions to this thread. But I did once listen for some time to an American family visiting Westminster Cathedral who spent several minutes looking at the map and talking among themselves about where they could find 'Juliet's' grave. I didn't say anything, but I really wanted to go up to them and explain that Juliet died and was buried in fair Verona, Italy...and, you know, was a fictional character.

Hahhaa. Well, I mean, there is a grave of Juliet, but you're right it's definitely in Verona, definitely not hanging out with Shakespeare in the Cathedral.

I started laughing out loud at this and had to have my best friend read so she knew what had gotten to me.

 

[kaelalala]

I have so many of these!! I work at MK and guests really do say the weirdest things sometimes! Lately my favorite thing is all the funny names people come up with for Mine Train. I've been asked about the "train cave", the "little midget ride", "snow mountain", "dwarf mountain", etc. The best was a few days ago when someone asked me for fastpasses to the "land mine"...I waited til they left and then couldn't stop laughing haha

Little kids are always good for a laugh too. I was just at Whispering Canyon last night and when the table next to us called around for the ketchup, a little boy ran over, delivered his ketchup and then whispered "hashtag ketchup". my friends and I cracked up!

This wasn't really something I over heard but when I was sitting outside of the Star Wars attraction in HS waiting for the rest of my family to come back, a friendly cast member engaged in convo with me. I can't really remember how it happened but he was like 8ft tall it was incredible, he noticed how amazed I was with his height and being silly since he must get it a lot he said try to give me a high 5, so I did and it was not easy as I am on the shorter side lol. But he was very sweet. The more we got to talking he started explaining to me that he's not just really tall it's because he has a disease and grows at an unexpected fast rate, he then told me he was only 18 years old, I was shocked. As the convo went on he told me how this disease will cost him his life and from that moment on it was hard not to ach for this young boy! So sweet and a great outlook on life, he was very open about it but didn't have one negative thing to say. Anyways this was such an odd encounter but I can't help but wonder everytime I go back if he's still working there, I guess it was one of those situations that are enough to touch your life forever.

I've seen tv shows about people with that disease. That's sad.

While showing our FP to a CM at TSM so we could get in the FP line, a man yells at us,

"Must be nice to be rich and afford all those front of the line passes." He rolls his eyes and shakes his head while he looks at his family.

I was going to tell him that they were free, but since he was such a jerk, I didn't.

once when my family were walking through the FP lane for Splassh Mountain I overheard a little girl ask her mom why we were allowed to skip the line -- and her mom replied "because they are rich people" -- i did actually pause a in a friendly manner explain how FPs worked --they were amazed as they thought FPs were an extra $100 per person per day ----

I was buying skirts for my trip in August and the lady at Nordstroms who was checking me out said she once was on a trip in Orlando for business and they 'went and ate at a restaurant in Disney, but that was all she saw and it was nice".

She may have gone to DTD -- one of my clients took me to Fultons crab shack for dinner.

Tell them you're a part owner and offer to sign an autograph! They'll tell friends back home they know the owner of Disney!

I was flying solo down to MCO to meet my mom for a week at WDW. There was a couple sitting next to me and halfway through the flight, she pulls out a welcome packet to review their plans. She takes out the yellow luggage tags and tells her DH/BF "we'll need to put these on when we get our bags so they make it to the hotel." I didn't say anything because I feared a similar reaction you received.

I know I am my happy place when I show up at the airport gate for a trip to the World and see all the yellow DME tags on the strollers and carry-on luggage. I start to chuckle then.

I have a few from our trip last week.

First, my DD and I were on Main Street waiting for the 3pm parade to start. It was sunny, hot and humid but we stuck it out. There was a couple next to me with a child in a stroller who were waiting as well. The Grand Marshall family of the day drove down the street first and then there was a good 5 - 10 minute delay before the actual parade showed up. While waiting, the man from the couple asked me "Is there going to be a parade?" I so badly wanted to say "No, we're just standing here in the hot Florida sun for no reason." But I behaved and didn't!

Another day, DH, DD and I were on the bus from the Contemporary to Animal Kingdom and it made a stop at Blizzard Beach. A family came on through the rear side door dressed in bathing suits, cover ups and flip flops. The bus driver asked "Where are you going?" They answered "Blizzard Beach". The bus driver told them that they were already at Blizzard Beach and they quickly got off the bus. I never saw so many people try to hold back laughter than that bus that day!

Also, while taking the monorail to the MK last Wednesday, a man and his sons came on and were asking one of the CM's if one of his sons could ride up front with the driver. He was politely told no and then he started to grumble about it to his sons. "When I was a kid, I got to ride up there. I guess you can't have any fun anymore here." I had to interject and explained that since the monorail accident in 2009, no one has been allowed to ride up front and that it was a safety issue. So he goes on to say "So one person screwed up and ruined it for everyone." I told him "No. It was an unfortunate accident and a person died as a result. Disney is just trying to keep everyone safe." At this point, he finally stopped complaining.
