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

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"

These are great! Thanks.

Last May, my daughter & I made sure to write down some of the funny things we overheard on our trip. There are so many! These top our list, though:

In AK, right outside ITTBAB, we overhear 2 guys with very thick British accents, which perked our interest. We just love British accents. Upon spying a corn dog kiosk, one asks the other, "What's a corn dog?" The other answers, "We have them at home. It's like a sausage wrapped in a potato." When heard in that wonderful accent, it was just priceless.

At POR around 6:30 in the morning, we are walking from the Mansions section to the main bus stop and really enjoying the quiet of the resort. There were no sounds but birds chirping, water lapping at the shore, and an occasional door closing. From the balcony above us, we hear a man yell out (in a big, booming, angry voice), "I said PANTS!!!" and then slamming of their door. Still don't know what that was about, but it had us

And the best, was walking along Main Street we overhear a little girl (~6 yo) ask her dad, "Dad, where's Norway?" And he answers, "It's where the bodies are." She just shrugs and says, "Oh, ok." Now whenever DD & I talk about Norway, we both chime in with "It's where the bodies are!"

I did not overhear this, I did this.

We were on the safari ride, in the row behind the driver, the first of December this year. The driver pointed over to some animals and said those are the new adicks (sp). I said what are they addicted to. The driver had to turn the mike of for about 5 seconds while she was laughing. Afterwards I said I was sorry and she said no that was great and she will remember it.

We were having breakfast at Garden Grove with all my family to wish us farewell on our honeymoon on the DCL. At the end of the meal, my grandma starting waving her hands in the air towards the manager saying that we needed Chip & Monk to take a picture with us before we left. Everyone at the table nearly fell over laughing! It was soo funny! After a few minutes Chip & Dale stopped by and we got our picture.

Two years ago I was riding RnR with my two 10 yr old daughters. Since they rode together I had to ride alone. They put a single rider next to me, a man of about my age. We talked about our respective kids and then he asked me if it was my first time riding, I must have looked scared. I told him yes it was and he said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine, you've given birth before, this is nothing."
I looked at him and said "No, I adopted!" And at that moment we took off. The look on his face was priceless!

 

[inkkognito]

I heard a group say "Guess what, there's a ride in the big silver ball thingee. It's called Spaceship Earth".

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

When heard in that wonderful accent, it was just priceless.

A man brought a few baskets of food to the table next to us in Epcot, handed one to his son and said, "Here's a quesadilla". The child asked, "What's a quesadilla?" and the father replied "It's like a pancake, but with cheese in it"

My oldest looked at DH and I and said, "That's not an appetizing description, even with the British accent"

So what were they really? Was she saying "paddocks", perhaps?

You know you could be correct on that, she may have either skipped the p or her accent through it off. But she got what I was joking about so she may have realized her error.

 

[DisneyHardin]

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

Before our first trip that included Epcot, probably in about 1987, I thought the entire theme park was inside the "ball" too.

Here's a good one...

While riding Spaceship Earth, there was a 20ish couple in the car sitting behind us. They were intently listening and watching, obviously very into it.

We got to the part with the Egyptions "pounding reeds flat", and this is what I hear:

Narrator: (sorry, this isn't going to be verbatim...it's just from my memory) "This Unknown Egyption, pounding reeds flat, created the first paper. With the invention of paper, Egyptions created the first written communication, and unfortunately, the first taxes".

Rider behind me: "Thanks, a** hole!"

An Addax is an endangered desert antelope.

An Addax is an endangered desert antelope.

(Cliff Claven voice) Uhhhh, yeah, yeah, I knew that.


(Seriously, thanks!)

We were in the Christmas Store in DTD....A girl about 4-5 years was banging some of the ornaments together. After her father told her many times to stop he finally said, 'Get IN The Stroller!' Girl then yelled, 'Mom!'

We were told by a man after parking our car in DTD parking lot....'That wasn't decent....didn't you see me watching them walk to their car.' No we didn't. He had no turn signal on, pulled past the space and was going to back into the space. Sorry, I am not a mind reader...

My DD and I were waiting for DH and DS to get off Soarin', a women and 2 boys asked a CM when the parked closed. Told them that part of the park closed in about 30 mins but the World Showcase was open until later. Women says we better hurry up and ride Soarin' before close and that the other countries stuff was not fun and no rides. I had to tell her she was missing out. How can you spend all that money and see only half of a park?

We are always amazed that people do not know about the Candlelight Processional. We stood in the back (too late for seats) and had to explain to a couple all about it (different speakers/CM Choir/Guest Choir/They sell a CD).

Last year, while in the Magic Kingdom, we were sitting next to an "interesting" family (that is another story). One of the daughters, probably about 16, looked at a bird and yelled "OH MY GAWD, ITS A BABY CHICKEN!" My daughter, who was 7 at the time, looked at the bird, then the girl and then said to my husband "Dad, thats a sparrow." I almost spit out my water.

I haven't made it through the whole thread yet(but I'm looking forward to it ) but that just made me burst out laughing My cat is glaring at me because I woke him up

My youngest son loves any kind of coaster, whereas his poor wife absolutely hates them. The first time I took them down there, she had given birth to their first child seven months before (we had left him at home with his other grandparents for the week). Anyway, she had been determined to purchase all the ride pictures all week and after much encouragement finally agreed to ride RnR, "just to get the stupid picture. So you all better smile". My husband and I was sitting just in front of them and heard my poor D-I-L screaming throughout the ride. When she got off, we all turned to make sure she was all right, and the first words out of her mouth were, "Oh my God, I'd rather give birth to a 10 lb baby completely natural". In the picture she and I both had her eyes closed and looked terrified, so I asked her if she wanted to ride again, just so we could try to get a better picture. She gave me the worst go to you know where look, I've ever seen, and said "sure when h-ll freezes over. We're buying this one".

My husband and I were entering the Magic Kingdom one time just under the train station. A group of people (maybe 8 teens & adults) ran in front of us towards the area by Roy Disney's statue as some of the characters were out for photos. . . Loudly as they ran, "Goofy!, Goofy! Goofy!" A CM nearby and within our earshot yelled out as loudly, "Pluto!" correcting them enroute. . .to which the cries then became "Pluto!, Pluto!, Pluto!". Quick save, there. A lot of people around us laughed having witnessed the whole drama. . .

 

[BLTtinkerbell]

ok, I'll fess up to say I made the same 'goof" (pun intended.) We were in one the character lines in Mickey's ToonTown and PLUTO was there. Unfortunately I say excitedly "There Goofy!" to the kids. The surrounding CM's were gracious enough not to correct me. My family, however, still won't let me live it down.

I do know the diff between Snow White and Cinderella, however!
