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

[ChrisHartman]

Our last day at Magic Kingdom, it was a hot afternoon and we decided to ride Splash Mountain. We had ridden it a few times throughout the trip, but the water wasn't "on" at full blast...unlike this time. Well, we get down the chute, we're going around the corner, when SPLASH!! my husband, DS and I all get completely soaked. My DS, who turned 4 on the trip, yelled at the CM as we got off the boats "That was not a good choice!!" as he was wagging his finger at her. I think the CM thought it was hilarious...but DS was very mad and we had no idea we'd get that wet. LOL

Fortunately, we had a dry change of clothes for DS with us. DH and I thought it was hilarious.

While leaving MK around 7pm on Sat. December 11 because of unbelievable THIS IS NUTZ crowds, we saw a mother dragging a hysterical, overtired 6 year old girl to the bus stop. This kid did NOT want to leave before the parade.

She starts screaming "NO! NO! Now I'll never get to see the (garbled hysterical screaming)." She screams a variation of this sentence over & over again. Possibly something about princesses. Fairies are involved too. Finally the mother, completely unfazed, says mildly with a half-laugh, "Hailey, we're here for 5 days." Immediately Haily starts screaming, "We only have FOUR MORE DAYS! WE ONLY HAVE FOUR MORE DAYS!"

We all started cracking up, including the mom. We were thankful that Hailey was not on our bus, though.

Whenever we eat at caseys at mk, the ducks are always begging for food and my husband looks at them and asks "where's your park ticket." while getting back home we were at mco airport and the security line was crazy as usual. I asked the guard checking for id and tickets where the fastpass for that line was, and she got a good laugh.

That one is hilarious AND adorable. Poor Hailey. We've all felt that way sometimes.

My funniest comment was a couple trying to locate each other by cell phone in Magic Kingdom. Right outside Hall of Presidents on a clear sunny day.

I hear this guy loudly talking into his phone as he jogs on down the path to the castle with a kid in tow: "Where are you?! We're headed to the Castle now."

Then I hear a lady sitting on the ledge by the liberty bell equally loudly say into her cell phone: "We're waiting for you outside the Hall of Presidents."

I did a double take wondering if that was just amazing coincidence. These folks were no more than 5 feet apart and yet were so busy talking into their phones they weren't seeing what was right in front of them.

But then the fella stopped, looked to his left (his wife was to his right) and saw me sitting under the sign and said into his phone: "I'm walking by the Hall of Presidents right now."

Without thinking I just pointed in the wife's direction. But then she looked up too, saw him and called out his name.

I wondered if the guy thought for a second if his cell phone volume just got really loud.

On a trip with my granddaughters, I was taking the four year old on marathon Haunted Mansion rides. We were waiting in the que by Madam Leota and she said "Grammy, I really like this ride but the ky roadies scare me". It took me a few minutes to realize she was talking about the coyotes howling. Now I ask her everytime we get close to the Haunted Mansion if she is still scared of the Ky roadies. On the same trip, I taught the one year old to make the haunted mansion stare which she has become quite good at.

This is so funny!

From my previous trip in 2008, we were in Epcot by spaceship earth I think standing around for some reason and I watched this family, the mom was busy at the snack cart I think and the grandmother was sitting in a wheelchair, and Grandma didn't seem to be very with it, at least she made no reaction to anything. The two boys were preteen/teenagers and one was tipping grandma back in her wheelchair repeatedly while the mother barked at them 'Don't do that, grandma doesn't like that!' like they were bothering the dog or something. !!

Yesterday we were at DHS, I was patiently waiting for someone to finish with a cast member so I could ask him where something was that wasn't marked on the map, we were in front of the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playset. The lady with her husband asked the CM what it was, he said "It's a playground based on the movie 'Honey I shrunk the kids' that makes you seem small while everyday things are really big" (I'm paraphrasing he actually described it better), the lady said "Yes, I've seen the move, but what IS this place?", I had to listen to him redescribe that it is a PLAYSET to which she asked 'Is it for US to use?'. It took all my willpower to keep my mouth shut and not shout "It's a playground lady!" while the poor CM patiently described to her something she could have taken 10 steps and just freaking looked at!

Oh and can I add today at the Magic Kingdom it was 37 degrees, we were literally freezing and choosing our rides based on how warm they would be and how long we'd be out of the cold and we saw several people with ice creams. Are you crazy? Let me add I'm from New England, so we are used to the cold, wow!

This thread has made me laugh so hard!! I have a couple from our own family...had to read all the posts to make sure we haven't been overheard by anyone.

15 years or so ago, my family was in line to ride Big Thunder Mountain. The line was really long...lots of people. It was a summer night and we had been at the parks all day. We were all very tired. My youngest sister who was 15 at the time had long, thick hair. She laid that hot head on my back. I kinda shrugged her off and told her to stop. Five minutes later she did it again. I growled "GET OFF ME". The lady in front of me turned around and apoligized! I had to laugh and told her even in the heat I would never talk to her like that!

Same sister the year before was sitting on the 'posts'(as I remember...could have been a rope) in the que waiting for Indiana Jones. I told her "get down before you fall and we have to take you to Mickey General". Deadpan she said "Well, at least I won't be on the Dopey floor with you" We then notice a couple WIDE EYED looking at us. We kept going. I said, "You know we have to pick up the dog before we leave on the Pluto floor" She said, "Yeah and the Grumpy wing is going to be full tonight". The couple then said "excuse us..is there really a hospital like that on site?" We told them no and stopped our banter.

When has it ever mattered what the temperature outside was when it came to Ice Cream. It's the taste not the temperature. A Mickey Bar would be just as good in the Arctic Circle as on the Equator. The word according to Goofyernmost.

Been there, done that!

We were there December 12-18, and actually rearranged our ADRs and park schedules based on the coldest days. We had initially intended to be in the Animal Kingdom on the 13th (The coldest day), and decided instead to go to Epcot, since there would be more indoor attractions.

 

[mistyt]

When I worked at EPCOT in Guest Relations we had all sorts of incidents everyday that still make me laugh thinking of them!

One of my personal favorites what during the Flower and Garden Festival. One of my fellow cast members and myself were working next to each other when a man came into the lobby, handed my coworker a paper that was folded, and turned around and walked out. On the paper was written:

"No Tulips. That Sucks."

Still one of my favorites ever.

it's a small world fit the bill quite well! Its a fairly long ride, no wait and nice and warm! I considered getting a bench to myself and taking a nap!

We just returned from a week at WDW. While we were in Epcot, I heard the funniest thing! I laughed so hard! It will be one that I will remember forever I think..........
You know how they do the seatbelt check on Test Track? The CM tells you to pull the yellow strap to show that your seatbelt is securely fastened. Well, there was a girl, probably about 8 or so, in the back seat of our car. (We were in the front.) When the CM told her to pull the yellow strap, she cried out very concerned, "It won't come off!"

 

[psac]

I was surprised my grandpa never bought into DVC. I wish he did back then because now he can't since he got mixed up with some young wh*re who took all his money.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read on Disboards...

LOL! DS (5) cracked me up on soarin, because he thought he had to continue to pull on the yellow strap the whole time!

I was sitting in one of the rocking chairs on the "back porch" of the main building at POR on my last day - just relaxing. It was the first day of check-in for Pop Warner.

A young woman and her son stepped outside and saw the water taxi and commented to her son how much fun it will be to take the "boat to Walt Disney World."

Just then, her husband pops out of the door with their young daughter and their "check-in" package. He tells the wife that they need to go back out front to catch the bus to go to "a bunch of parks." She tells her husband, "But, we want to take the boat to get to Walt Disney World."

He says, "You wouldn't believe it, we are already in Walt Disney World. This hotel is in Walt Disney World." She looks befuddled. He pulls her along, but she continues to insist taking the boat. He finally says, "We have to take a bus to get to a park. And there are FOUR of them."

She looks really befuddled now. He pulls her aside, out of hearing range of the kids, but right beside me now and says..... "You won't believe how f$#@$&^ big this place is. You just have no idea what we have gotten ourselves into here."

so true. people don't do their homework. WDW is 47 square miles.

 

[ReBoot]

Not so much funny as a what the heck moment, but..

We ended up going for a week long trip during the exact week that Hurricane Fay conveniently decided to invade the Orlando area. One of the days we decided to head over to MK and brave the incoming rain (it finally stopped for a few hours) and crowds. However, 2 hours later (well after opening) and we noticed that the park was esstentially dead - more CM's walking around than guests. We overheard a few of the CM's walking around say that there was less than 100 guests in the park!

Now I realize that it doesn't seem like anything, but never in my life have I heard the words "less than 100 guests" and "Magic Kingdom" used in the same sentence - especially in the middle of summer!

Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen was while stuck on Rock n' Rollercoaster in the midst of it breaking down - the launch failed and we got stuck at the bottom of the loop. I've never seen so many cast members run that fast with the most confused looks on their faces.

A few years ago we were walking through Tomorrowland towards Spaceship Earth and passed a Father and his Son. Overheard:
Son: When are we leaving Dad?
Dad: AS SOON AS WE FIND YOUR IDIOT MOTHER WE CAN!!!
Oh crap I had to stifle the laughter and get away from them quickly!!

That is funny!! (and sounds like DH and I...except he sees me and messes with me on the phone..."I seeeee youuuuuu!!!" )

Mine would be a lady on the bus talking on her phone telling the person how many hills there were to walk up and down in Epcot. The hills were killing her.
