HAHAHAHAHA this is sheer brilliance. Oh my sides..

 

[Luvamouse]

My kids always called it the golf ball.......soooooooooo I do too...I think I only learned it's proper name a few years ago...and I still get excited when I see the "big golf ball" from the parking lot!

Ummm, we'll call it the golf ball for ever. And it wasn't until our 5th Epcot trip that I figured out the ride was in it. And I'm fairly bright usually.

I have laughed until I've cried reading these. I MUST pay better attention to what is being said around me next trip! Of course, I'm usually laughing hysterically at my own family so much that I don't notice. Wait a minute.....maybe these posts are about us???!!

Or us!! I understand your concern! lol!

A few days into our first trip to the World, my 3 year old son started asking to go on the Jesus ride again. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Every time I would ask him for clarification he would change his tone to sound rather irritated and repeat "You know, the Jesus ride!". The next day we hit EPcot and rode Spaceship Earth first. We entered the part with early man and DS shouted triumphantly, "There's Jesus!"

Love it! And completely understand him

This made me laugh. One time we decided to bring my Grandfather (my Dad's father) with us to Disney. Dad and Grandpa decide they want to go do Hall of Presidents, so no big deal us girls went off to do whatever. An hour later my mom get's a phone call.

Dad: "Uh Lin, do you have Dad?"
Mom: "No , you took him to Hall of Presidents"
Dad: "Then we have a problem"

For the life of us we can't figure out why my Dad thought we had Grandpa. Needless to say, Grandpa was lost "somewhere" in the MK (since Dad can't remember where he lost him) and without a phone because he "wouldn't get lost". First stop, lost children (and no they hadn't had a grandfather turned in) so we all split up looking for Grandpa. We find him 1/2 an hour later on main street. When he discovered he was lost he decided he would just not move and eventually someone would find him. aye

Smart Grandpa!! My dad would've been asleep in HOP!

Mine happened last year in May we were there for my birthday and we had Emh at Mk my DH was standing at the entrance to Tommorrow Land giving out glow stick and a group of young ladies were talking to him when they noticed me standing off to the side wearing my Birthday badge all of the sudden these Young ladies(ages 15-18) start singing Happy Birthday to me quite loudly and very in tune. Needless to say me being reserved was totally embarasses and tickled to death all at the same time. It is probably one of my best Disney memories. How's that for Disney Magic.

So it's funny you should say this, because last week when I was at DW, I think it was actually January 15th to be precise, we (me and my 2 best friends and my one friend's mom) went to AK for the day, and then to RFC for dinner. The park closed at 5 that day, so we were back at our resort (Yacht Club) pretty early. We decided to just hang out there and explore for the rest of the evening. For the full story of our brief entertainment job at Disney World, you will have to read my TR, whose link is in my signature, unless it got cut off by my fabulous tickers. If it did, the link is also a few posts down on my public profile (so just click on my name) or you can search for "The Port Report: Frumpin Around the World with the Bathrobe Princesses" in the Disney Trip Reports forum. We haven't updated that far yet, but subscribe now, and trust me you will know when we do!!! Anyways, we ended up singing happy birthday to a little girl named Izzy whose parents were practically in tears they were so happy It felt so great to be able to make her day more magical.

In July 2009 at Disneyland, my friend and I were on the train and there was a family sitting not too far from us. They had a son, 3 or 4 years old, screaming and crying at the top of his lungs "I PROMISE I WON'T TATTLE! PLEEEEASE! I PROMISE I WON'T TATTLE!" It went on for probably a good 15 minutes until we got off. We were laughing so hard. I had to break out my video camera (although it was night, so the video was completely black) just so we could have a recording of it, haha.

 

[m-tinkerbelle]

I had no idea it meant cute. I was always taught it meant monkey. LOL. Monkeys are cute though, right? I'm glad he wasn't offended!

hi! this is my first post after YEARS of just reading the boards. I had to reply to this. In Spain "mono" means "cute" and it's not an old-fashioned word at all (here). A person can be "mono" (or "mona" if we're talking about a female person) and a thing or an animal can be "mono" as well .You used perfect Spanish but too many countries speak it and the slang varies from country to country. I'm from Argentina and wouldn't call anyone "mono" there, but now I'm living in Spain and here it's a very common adjective .

As for the thread it's hilarious what you get to hear at WDW!!! I'm still reading page 18 and laughing so hard hehe

My brother in law who is going on his first trip to WDW and absolutely will take no advice from me and my insane WDW planning ways, said he is renting a car when gets to the airport and I said I don't really know if you need a car if you are only going to AK and MK. He looks at me like I just uttered the dumbest thought in the world and says, " I TOLD you I want to go to Animal Kingdom so I NEED a car so I can drive through the safari there!".

 

[PiperPizzaz]

My favorite was a couple of years ago. We were on the Safari at AK and they got to the part where they were talking about their big problem was poachers. Some lady said "Really?!" Dh and I still laugh about her thinking there were people sneaking over walls at AK with guns to shoot the elephants. You would really think Disney could do something about that! LOL

My DS says all automatic doors automagically open.

I often confuse philharmagic and fantasmic! (just the words, I know what they are.) One time I told a lady, in the middle of the day on the bus leaving MK, that we had just done fantasmic! Dh was like, uh don't you mean philharmagic?

The first time we went to EPCOT we were just dating and we walked around WS and did nothing except the Mexico 'boat ride' and left, ha ha. We were so clueless, we didn't go back for YEARS.

 

[grizelda]

This thread is so hilarious, I've been reading it off and on all day.

My story isnt as funny as some but thought I'd share. A few years ago we were in Epcot in the Mexico pyramid with my parents. My mom stayed for about 10 seconds then told me that her and my dad were going to leave b/c they "didnt like all this mexico stuff". Then they proceeded directly to a door marked in huge letters "Cast members only" and made to open it. A CM ran and stopped them, I dont think my parents understood what "cast member" meant. LOL
My mom also told people before we left that the animals on the AK safari "arent even real". We convinced her otherwise and she loved it once she actually did it. I think she had it confused with the MK jungle cruise. LOL

Just last week, I was at the Walt Disney "One Man's Dream" at Hollywood Studios looking at the full size scale of one of the animatronic (sp) figures that shows the inner workings of the figure. I was standing next to a family and heard their young son about 7 or 8 ask his parents if that is how people are made. He was serious. His parents replied appropriately.

Watching Wishes in July, 2009. Tinkerbell makes her flight (my favorite part of Wishes!) and a couple behind me has this exchange:

Person 1: Oh-my-gawd! She's FLYIN'!
Person 2: (with serious disgust in her voice) She's on a wire, you idiot!

I'm surprised I haven't heard that one before. LOL

Whilst riding on KS in AK just after Christmas, the guise on our safari was taking about elephants and poachers. A little into the safari he mentioned about poachers again. The lady behind me said:
"How many poachers do you think are in Disney?"

We stopped to see, I think it was a cheetah, We all got our cameras out to take a pic. The same lady said to her husband:
"It's a fake, it's not moving". Just at that point the animal stood up and yawned. The lady then said to her husband, "Do you think that's animatronics?"

I wish I could have followed her all day!!!

 

[John Paul]

And my all time favorite quote that I've overheard: we had just gotten off of Maelstrom back in the days before they really let you choose whether or not to watch the movie. There was a mom and daughter, maybe about 8 years old. The mom grabs the daughter's arm so they could quick scoot out the doors before they closed saying "we ain't got time for this cultural S#%T"

DH and I still quote that phrase!

Too Funny

 

[honeydiane1953]

One "know it all" woman kept saying to her grandson "Where is the Harry Potter section".

 

[jpkkld]

Ahhhhhhhh, what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. That "Great Movie Ride" youtube video made tears stream down my face!

I'll admit I can't remember much of the funny stuff I've heard over the years. I'll also admit that on MY first trip (at 20), I thought Epcot WAS the ball. I thought MK WAS the castle. It was such a delightful trip, full of discoveries! Dh was very kind and patient with me.

The funniest things I usually hear are from my MIL after we get back and show her our pictures. Now, she's been many times, since she grew up in FL and still has family there. She took her own kids many times too. She must have done a good enough job at MK, since dh knew some of the best stuff to do with me for our first trips. BUT... MIL has never been to the other parks. To her, "Disney" is just Magic Kingdom. She has never used the words "Magic Kingdom" - it's ALWAYS "Disney". So when she sees pictures of AK, Epcot, or HS, the conversation always goes like this:

MIL: Now where's this?
Me: Oh, that was at AK (or Epcot or HS).
MIL: Oh.... Where is that?
Me: It's at Disney World.
MIL: Oh.... I've never seen that.
Me: Well, you usually go to MK. This was at AK (Ep/HS).
MIL: Hmmm... we'll have to look for this next time we go to Disney (she actually means MK!)
Me: Um, yeah, you really should. It's pretty cool!

Next picture:

MIL: Now, where's this?
Me: (here we go again!) It's at Epcot...



For a few years, this drove me nuts. Now I just laugh! Dh learned to laugh at his mother a LONG time ago. She's priceless!

And for those of you who don't understand eating ice cream in winter: Don't you see that it actually EQUALIZES the internal and external temperatures? Thus, ice cream makes you feel WARMER! But only in winter. In summer it makes you feel hotter. Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[wintershawl]

That's a funny one. Speaking of AK, we were behind a couple with two little kids, and the mother asked the kids which of the parks was their favorite. The daughter who was about 5 or 6 said "Disney world!"
Mom -- "But it's all Disney World, which of the parks did you like best?"
Daughter -- "Disney World!"
Mom -- "But did you like Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom...?"
Daughter -- "Disney World!"

Obviously she meant Magic Kingdom. The daughter here wasn't the funny one...

I can't really laught too much at this one. I always refer to MK as "Disney World" because to me that it he most magical park and embodies what Disney is to me. hehe... so I had better not see a post by someone overhearing me saying that to my DH!
