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

[ntsammy5]

Still can't figure out if she was talking about Pirates or Splash (and we still can't convince her there was no drop in Small World)

But there is a drop! When you hear the song for the 10th time, your stomach drops!

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!

You do realize the US state with the highest per capita consumption of ice cream is... drum roll please... ALASKA! At least you don't have to worry about it melting before you finish it.

I love this thread... Some of these have me

I heard Alaska when visiting there in the late 90's. I had never seen so many ice cream stands. It seemed like they were on every corner... kind of like Starbucks in California.

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."

Too, too funny. I don't think I've ever heard someone staying at one of the WDW resorts say that.

Are you sure thats where you were walking?!!

lol oops meant Space Mnt! lol

Too, too funny. I don't think I've ever heard someone staying at one of the WDW resorts say that.

Thinking back on it later, I think they just signed up for some kind of package, cause their kid won the competion and didn't have the foggiest notion what Disney World was really all about.

Or maybe thought they were staying at some sort-of local hotel and got tickets to go to the World for a couple of days and really, really, really didn't realize what the whole thing meant.

someone probably heard my DS say to DH...

"Dad, Mom is CRYING at Beauty and the Beast..."

and technically, I was, but it was because of the song (reminds me of someone who is no longer here that loved that song...)

But EVERYONE turned around to look at me.

*hides*

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."

That's funny! I'm sure those guards see all sorts of things. I can't even begin to imagine. HA!

I had two guards on my trip just a week ago tease me that I brought my makeup with me to the parks. Hey, a girl has to look good for those family photos. They last forever, right?

Hahaha I was just there a week ago as well and the CM's at the bag check going into either DHS or AK, I think it was, made fun of my friend because she had brought her entire makeup bag with her.

Ok, here's my personal story:

A few years back while visiting WDW with my parents we were walking around DHS. As we have been to WDW many times up to this point, it baffles me that my family and I had never been on The Great Movie Ride. So, we decided to go ahead and check it out.

As we were walking up to the entrance my dad kept asking us "Is this a ride? Are you sure it's a ride? How do you know?" Um, dad, it's called The Great Movie RIDE! He was so bent on not getting it through his head. We laugh about that still. Every time we go back, whether we ride it or not, we quote my dear and loving father. "Is this a ride? Are you sure it's a ride?"

 

[ocean134]

I avoid that ride at every cost. Ugh...that song!!

 

[ocean134]

Subscribing because these are hilarious! AND so I don't sound like a "first-timer" when I go to Disney for the first time ever in May!!!

CONGRATS on your first visit!!!!!

 

[sparks19]

hahahaha these are so funny.

I haven't overheard too many conversations but this one comment struck me as quite funny considering.

We were at Animal Kingdom and there was this older woman sitting on a bench and these girls walked by in short shorts and belly tops and this woman says... and I QUOTE

"Look at that. that's just a sin..... JESUS" and it wasn't like Oh jesus please save the sinners it was like how you would say it when you are frustrated with something lol

I don't know how you can say something is a sin and then in the same sentence use the Lord's name in vain

and this wasn't something anyone said it was just a t shirt this guy was wearing that I LOVED. it had a frazzled looking Donald Duck on it and said "Disney with a 2 year old... AWESOME!!!" but it was sarcastic LOL it was awesome

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.

That is awesome!
