One of the funniest things I've ever heard at WDW:

[Thumper_ehhhhh]

I was actually in Vietnam when Batman first aired in 1966.

I wasnt even born yet. Not for another 3 years lol

Keep these going everyone. I look forward to reading these and getting a good laugh.

One of the Batman movies was on TV today, and it starred Adam West as Batman-so it was a movie from the series (or the series came from the movie)and it was dated 1966.

Oh the stories I have everyone... haha. Let me just say one thing...

"Where is the dome that goes up around Magic Kingdom to prevent it from raining???"

I will say that we have had such good luck with weather on our many WDW vacations that we often refer to being on property as "being under the dome." The best example was one time I drove in from our home in Mississippi - it was gray and overcast the entire drive down. However, once I drove on property the clouds parted and it was blue sky and sunshine . Makes you wonder ...

This past Sept we rode ToT and left my DD5 out with my DSis. The 8 of us came off a said how fun it was, etc. My Dsis's kids wanted her to go with them and my DH was going to stay with the little ones. My DD5 insisted she wanted to ride. My DH and I looked at each other with that "should we let her" look.
I warned her that the entrance to the ride was scary. She started freaking a little, but still wanted to ride.
She screamed the entire ride: "I don't like this!". When we got off and were going through the gift shop she looked at all the stuff and said, "I don't need anything from this place!" I thought my DSis was going to pee her pants she was laughing so hard!

I was in line for Dinosaur it was after the pre-show and were entering the loading zone when two little kids started saying how they didn't want to go on the ride. So the mom said "Oh you will like this ride, it's just like Pirates of the Caribbean."
Needless to say after the ride the kids looked terrified.

A few years ago, we were in line for Kilo Safari. In front of us was this family with a 6 yr old. He started talking to my niece, who was 9 at the time. He asked where we were staying and my niece proclaimed Pop Century. He then says, you're so lucky, I wish we were staying there. He then proceeds to tell us that they are staying at AKL, to which my niece said that he was the lucky one. He says, no way it stinks there, those animals need to find a new place to go to the bathroom, not outside his window. If he only knew how many people would love to afford that resort

I thought they provided TP?

I'm sorry, but this had me laughing just as hard as some of the other posts on this thread.

In September 2009 we were taking the bus to DD. On the bus was a family with two little boys that were about 5 years old and they were both dressed head to toe like pirates, including face paint with fake scars. One of the little boys was really talkative, and was really into being a pirate. We asked him his name, and he said it was Captain Sharkbait. We asked him how he got his (fake) scar, and he told us a long, drawn out story about the huge pirate fight that he got into, and how he had to fight off other pirates with his sword, etc. As he got more and more into this big story, my Sister and I pretended to be scared of this "frightening" 5 year old pirate. The other little boy who had remained quiet until this point looked concerned and I think he thought that we were really scared of his pirate friend. The quiet little boy leaned over to my Sister and said very seriously "we aren't REALLY pirates, we are just little boys"

How cute! I can totally imagine my nephews doing this.

We were on the great movie ride, sitting in the first car with the gangster. As we got further along, the gangster became more "scared' of what he was seeing, and when he saw the snakes the gangster became more alarmed. The lady sitting beside me was right into it and said in all seriousness "you've got the gun, shoot it!"

I just cracked up. And the poor CM was like

Around the second week of December We were walking through a Christmas light display in one of the local parks with our DD's girl scout troop. One of the Moms tells us that they just got back from Disneyland and really enjoyed the Ozzy Osbourne festival of lights.

Oh yeah.. Ozzy really knows how to celebrate the holidays

Very funny stories...thanks for sharing them.

I enjoyed!!

Not trying to be political in any way, but this was a repeated conversation between my DS6 and I. We were going to eat at Boma. I was pronouncing it like "bomb" when someone later told me it was like the o in "dome." Anyway, whenever I said that we were eating at Boma, my son got excited because he thought we were going to eat at the White House with the Obamas. It took a couple of times, but I convinced him otherwise.

The other story I heard, though I don't know how true it was,was about a High School choir trip. The director was very clear to the kids that because the school had a certain "reputation" shall we say, it was up to the choir to show that it was unfounded and everyone should be on their best behavior. Well, I guess kids will push the envelope, and a couple of kids went to smoke some pot in the bushes at MK. Now they thought they were hidden away, but apparently, out of nowhere, Donald and Goofy ride up in a golf cart and confront them. So, the kids learned the hard way that security is truly everywhere. Again, I was just told this recently, not sure if people are actually arrested by Goofy!

There have been dozens of threads like this over the years, but this is absolutely the cutest thing I have heard.

During my most recent trip (August 2010) I heard a mother say to her child "Someone told me the wait was 300 minutes. We don't have 3 hrs to wait for anything."

Not sure if I should laugh or cry at that one.

my first thought was "that wait must have been for Peter Pan's Flight!" and then I was totally dumbfounded at her math.

I was a CM for awhile, and I heard it all. Here are just a couple of my favorites:

1) I was working the door at Innoventions when a summer thunderstorm popped up. We would always draw a massive crowd of annoyed people at those times, so I always went out of my way to try to cheer them up. But one woman was beyond hopeless:

Woman: Excuse me, miss. Can you go tell them to turn off the rain?

Me: I'm sorry, what?

Woman: Go tell those people to turn off that rain! I paid a lot of money to get in here, and I don't know why you think it's funny to get me all wet!

Me: I do apologize, ma'am, but I'm sure it won't last long. Here in Florida it rains almost every afternoon during the summer, but it clears up quickly. I'll be happy to contact our weather department and find out what time it will end.

Woman (now screaming): Apparently you don't understand me! I know how all your little tricks work. Ha ha, real funny! Now get hold of the person in charge and tell him to turn off the d**n rain!

Me (into my radio): Um, God? This is Innoventions Greeter. Could you please turn off the rain?

**A few seconds pass**

Me: I'm sorry, ma'am. He doesn't seem to be by the radio right now.

Woman: Oh well. Thanks for trying. Have a good day now!

2) My own father did this one. We were at Fort Wilderness for a few days, and for some reason we ran into every single surly, grumpy CM in the place. We've stayed there since and never had a problem, but this was just one of those trips. So by the last day, he'd had enough. We went to the front desk to complain to a supervisor.

(Dad finishes up the rather long story)

Supervisor: I'm so sorry that happened. I know you mentioned the CM's names...do you happen to know their last names?

Dad (frustrated): Last names? You people don't have last names! It's just "Hi, I'm Bob." "Hi, I'm George." (in a perfect Mickey Mouse voice) "Hi, I'm Mickey. Heehee!"

That was it. My boyfriend, my mom, the supervisor and I were all on the floor. I don't even remember what the supervisor did to make it right, though I'm sure he did something. But to this day, whenever we run into a grumpy CM, one of us will spout off "Hi, I'm Mickey. Heehee!"

I have a bunch of others, but those are my favorites.

I was reading all of these stories and cracking up, and when I got to this one I just about peed my pants! (#1) awesome!! And I want to hear your other stories!!

This reminds me of a night in the Adventurer's Club. My then-boyfriend and I were extremely goth/punk. He was wearing a shimmering silver shirt, I had on seriously ripped jeans with black tights underneath, and we both had facial piercings. We wandered in just as Fletcher Hodges was warming up the crowd before the library show.

As we stepped inside, he took one look at my bf's shirt and told him he was just in time...to enter the baked potato contest! Then he thanked me for my fierce dedication to the Club...as evidenced by crawling there on my hands and knees, thus creating the holes in my jeans. Finally, he said we'd have to share the story of our big adventure...the time we got fish hooks stuck in our faces! Sigh, I still miss that place a lot.

this makes me want to cry!!! because I miss it soooo badly, of course.

We need an adventurer's club reminiscing thread!! My hubby got called up on stage once by the maid and she made him dance...sooo funny!

I'm thinking he didn't want to tell his daughter that the line was for Tinkerbelle. Trying to keep the magic going, you know.

WHAT on earth do you mean, it's for Tinkerbell??!

That reminds me this past year at the security gate, I opened my backpack and my camera was on top. It is a large Sony camera, not the usual tiny digital cameras you see today.

The guard asked me to take out my camera so he could see underneath and oops - there was a supply of "you-know-whats" for my ladies day, as we refer to it.

He kinda smirked and said, "You seem to still be pretty chipper today." No one is in line behind me, so I said, "Nah, it pretty much doesn't effect me at all, never has."

To which he replied, "Boy, you are nothing like my wife. It is like a living hell around my house for a few days."

crackup!!

I was privy to a similar type of conversation, but it was pretty contentious.

I did the land/sea package the first three years and you go to the cruise line desk whether you are going on the cruise first or to the resort.

A couple next to me with two young children (you had to go to the counter no matter what to show you had all of your requirements to travel outside the country) were arriving and the husband was getting quite frustrated. Here's how it went down.

CM: Good morning, sir. What resort are you staying at?

Husband: Walt Disney World resort.

CM: Yes, sir. But what resort.

Husband(a bit frustrated): The Walt Disney World Resort.

CM: Yes, I am sorry sir, but which resort are you staying at?

Husband: ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING? I SAID WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT.

CM: Let's try this another way, do you have your package information.

Husband: What package?

CM: From your travel agent.

Husband: What package?

CM: A package with information from your travel agent, that came from Disney that included all of your tickets, transportation coupons, luggage transfers, etc.

Husband: We left it home.

CM: Why did you do that sir?

Husband: Because our travel agent told us Disney takes care of everything.

CM: Okay, let's try this another way. Do you have identification with your full name on it, let's see if we can find your reservation in the system.

CM: Sir I found your reservation. Now, did you put the yellow tags on your baggage so that it would be delivered to your resort.

Husband: NO, I DID NOT BECAUSE....

CM: Let me guess, because the travel agent told you that Disney will take care of everything while you are on vacation. Let me see if I can find what airline you were on and see if I can't call the airline and get your baggage claim tickets, so we can retrieve your bags.

After several minutes of calling here, there and everywhere, and getting their bags and tagging them to get over to the resort, which was Wilderness Lodge by the way..... they are ready to get on the bus.

CM: Sir, if I might suggest, next time it might make your stay more enjoyable if you read through the package information before you leave home and bring it with you as shown in the instructions.

Husband: Do you think I would even dream of coming back to a place that is so totally f.....ed up. Forget it.

And after all that time the CM spent to get them there, etc. and not a thank you.

Wow! That takes clueless to a whole new level. I'm surprised he even packed his own bags, after all " Disney takes care of everything".

I think someone already touched on this, but I was thinking I sure hope he took showers while at Disney. Also I wonder if the guy left his laundry for the "maids" at the resort!!
