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

[asmarykay]

During a recent January trip our family was waiting in line for PW at AK. Family in front of us (DD, DM, DS, DD) - son is reading the signs and suddenly yells at DD - "Dad! It says mothers should not ride!" Dad who has not been paying attention turns and says " What? Where?" "Right here - pointing at sign" DD "Oh, it says EXPECTANT mothers should not ride" DD - "Well, what is that?"

I had posted this in another thread, but it fits here just as easily:

We were walking through MK during Gay Days 2009. My DS8-almost-9 is looking around at the sea of red in front of the castle during one of the castle stage shows. He starts tugging on my hand and I bend down to hear him better. "Mom, what's an 'O' face?"

Me: "Where did you hear about that?"

DS: "Over there!" and points to a gentleman wearing a red t-shirt that has "You should see my O face" emblazoned across the chest.

I look over at DH, who is trying not to bust out laughing.

Me: "Um, it's the face you make when you go down the first hill of a roller coaster..."

Several hours later, we are making our way through the exit of Splash Mountain and DS points out his ride pic. "Look, Mom! I made a really good O face!" in his "I'm inside but I REALLY need you to hear this, so I'm going to scream it!" voice... (I can laugh about it now...)

The funniest thing I've ever heard came out of my grandaughter's mouth. I had taken her and her dad for her first trip to WDW the year before. She is a daredevil whereas her dad is a ride chicken. She wanted to go on Rock n Roller coaster. Her dad told her she was too small and would be scared. She put both hands on her hips and yelled, "you're the chicken not me". I told him I'd take her, but he insisted she would be scared and refused to let her. Exactly a year later (when she was about 8 y/o) I took her back by myself for a GM-GD trip. Before we left she kept talking about Rock n Roller coaster and how she was going to ride it. I asked my son and he just shrugged and said it was up to me, but she'd be scared. My GD again informed him that he was the coward not her and she wanted to ride it. I called my ex D-I-L to ask what she thought and she told me to take her on it, as she was a daredevil like her mom and she'd love it. We got to DS at rope drop and was the first in line. In fact, the CMs who were walking us back to the rides had to keep telling my GD to slow down and not get in front of them. I kept asking her if she was sure she wanted to ride it and she gave me the most disgusted look, said she had been looking forward to this for a whole year, and couldn't wait. Once we got on and pulled the overhead restraints down, she started asking where the seatbelts were and when told it had just overhead restraints, suddenly panicked. As the CM walked by checking everyone's restraint, my GD yelled 'what do you mean it doesn't have seat belts?'. The CM told her it was fine and to hold on. During the entire ride my normally calm GD screamed at the top of her lungs, "I'm falling out! I'm falling out!". As soon as we got off the ride I asked her if she was OK and she very quietly said she thought so. All the way through the gift shop and walking outside I asked her if she was sure she was OK and she'd just very quietly say "yeah, it wasn't that bad". I asked her if she wanted to ride it again and she said maybe, but could she think about it. Then suddenly just as we exited the building and walked outside where everyone was sitting on that little short wall waiting for family members, she turned, placed both hands on her hips, and screamed at the top of her lungs, "What were you thinking! I thought you loved me! I could have been killed!" When I reminded her that she insisted on riding. She yelled, "What do I know! I'm a kid, you're supposed to be the adult! Geez! My mom is not going to like this!". When I reminded her that I had asked both her mom and her dad about taking her on the ride. She gave me a disgusted look and said "What do they know? They aren't here!" Everyone in the vicinity had turned to look at her and started laughing. She looked right back at them and demanded to know what they were laughing at, as it wasn't funny, she could have been killed, and grandparents are supposed to take care of their grandkids. She then started stalking off muttering to herself about how adults shouldn't be responsible for kids.

OMG i am cracking up over here...tooooo funny

Our family (WDW veterans, of course) took a trip with a family of 1st timers. On Test Track we left the pre-show room with the video, the youngest daughter (13) turns to me and says "man, I wouldn't want THAT job." "What job?" "Telling people those instructions over and over again." Because the video has the date/time in the bottom corner, she truly believed that guy was sitting in front of a camera all day, repeating the instructions for each group.

My other favorite story is from Tower of Terror. We were riding with a rather rambunctious but fun group. At the end of the last drop while it's still dark, an older gentleman says "well, that wasn't so bad." A teenage boy in his group says in a menacing voice "it's not over YET, Bob!" Of course, it was and not long after that the doors opened to exit, but everyone had a good laugh. My family still quotes "it's not over YET, Bob!" in a goofy voice every time we ride.

We were playing mini golf at Fantasia Gardens. My wife's ball gets stuck in a tube and doesn't come out the other end. A guy in the next group behind us hits his ball in the same hole and both balls come out. He asks which ball is ours, both of them are purple. I say it is the purple ball. He is quite serious and keeps asking which ball is ours. The purple one I say.

i love reading all the quotes. some people are clueless!

 

[DisneyChula]

The first time we saw the bug life show we were in the front. When the bugs popped up through the bench i jumped up out of my seat. Im sure a few people laughed at me. It weirded me out. I wasnt expecting it thats for sure.

I jumped up screamed and ran out! My family still won't let me forget that...

 

[Thumper_ehhhhh]

LOL at least i know im not the only one. Looks like there is a few of us. My wife and kids laughed at me.

This happened last week:

I was in EPCOT and in the bathroom near the Odyssey. I was the only one in there at the time. I was washing my hands when a woman and her young daughter walked in. The daughter immediately says to her mother, "Mom, there's a vending machine in here!!!! There's a vending machine in here!!!" She starts jumping up and down!!

She was SOOO excited. She then says very loudly to her mother, "Well, that's dumb-that they only have napkins in the vending machine! MOOOOOM, WHY do they only have napkins in the bathroom vending machine??? What would we need napkins for?"

The mother looks at me smiling and rolls her eyes. She says to her daughter,"I'll explain it to you when you're older."

So, now I'm laughing because this is the cutest thing I've ever heard. The Mom is laughing, too and the daughter is now asking her mother, "Why are you and that lady laughing? What's so funny?"

I walked out smiling. It was really funny and oh so cute, too!

OMG, I have been on that ride ten times and it still scares the you-know-what out of me.....and I keep telling myself, they aren't real, they aren't real, they aren't real....

It's mine worst ride as well. I KNOW the dinosaurs aren't real, but, man oh man are they lifelike!! That ride scares the &*$@#%&*(&^ out of me and I avoid it. I get anxiety just waiting in the line. LOL

You two should have been with me this past Dec. I got to AK for early morning EM hours and decided that rather than follow the crowd to EE or the safari, to go ride Dinosaur first thing. Absolutely no one was there when I breezed through the line. Just before I entered the room where the preshow is, I asked the CM if I could walk straight through, skipping the film and was told yes. As I went down the stairs the CMs were just standing around and asked me if I was sure I wanted to ride this ride alone. I love the ride and assured them I'd be fine alone in the ride vehicle. I loved it, but it is a whole different experience when you are the only one in the car and know no one is ahead or behind you. What was funny was that I was over at Universal the day before and using the single rider line on Mummy, I got to ride that alone also. Being the only person on a scary ride makes it a whole different experience.

That would do me in! I'm as scared of this ride as the others, and to ride it alone would be the stuff of nightmares! I'm glad you had fun though.

We took my mother in 2009 with us (It was her 1st time) and when we got off of Ellen's Energy Adventure she said "Wow, are they all this extreme?" and when we were walking around in Universal Studios she said "Are we suppose to be walking down here on this road like this?"

Now she does get motion sick so I can KIND OF see why she would think Ellen was extreme. I guess. Sort of.

"Before visiting Disney World, my husband thought the "big silver ball thingee" was all of Epcot! I still tease him about it."

Whew! I glad I wasn't the only one. For years, before DW finally talked me in to going to WDW, the only advertisement I ever seen for Epcot WAS the silver ball. I always thought to myself, "That's it? Either the ball is huge to be able to fit a whole theme park into it or Epcot is really, really small". I had no idea.

Riding alone would probably do me in! I like to sit in the center so the dinosaurs can't get me. LOL I have nightmares about dinosaurs chasing me! I'm a wimp when it comes to that ride. Haunted Mansion and pretty much everything else I am perfectly fine riding. Love TOT!

Another one with big misconceptions about EPCOT in the past. I thought SSE contained all the countries of WS. It had something to do with an old commercial or literature that explained SSE as the entrance to the WS. Like you walk through SSE into WS.

I was washing my hands at a bathroom in MK when I hear a little girl in a stall saying to her mom, "Why are you not sitting on the seat? Is it because you are fat?" A minute later the little girl and her oh so pregnant mother walk out of the stall.

 

[Jiminy_78]

Last week, while at Epcot, my DH and I were doing a baby swap for Soarin'. When it was my turn I was lucky enough to sit in the front row near a young girl and her father. She ooh'd and ahh'd throughout the whole thing and when it was over she turned to her father and said "I'm not sure what was my favorite part, smelling the oranges, or when they took us over New York City at night." I guess the fact that the ride is Soarin' over California was lost on her. It was cute.

So cute!!! My grandmother once went in search of a present for my brother and kept asking the salesman for Dark Invader.

My husband's niece got a Buzz Lightyear action figure for Christmas. My father-in-law asked her what her new toy was called, and she told him Buzz Lightyear, and he said, "Oh, Bud Light Year."
