I was waiting at Fulton's Gift Shop one year and a man was in front of me purchasing a set of 4 AA batteries. When she quoted them a price of $18.00, he flipped out. "First they charge me $3.00 for two extra pieces of bacon and now $18.00 for four batteries. Are you kidding me?"

The woman at the register said very politely that she didn't know anything about his bacon experience, but he did pick up a package of lithium batteries, which are much more expensive than regular batteries. Then he needed an explanation of the difference between lithium batteries and regular batteries......

All I wanted was to buy my mickey mouse rice crispie and go back to my room. Ugh.

While in a bathroom at AK I heard a woman say to her friend "I can handle Tower of Terror and Space Mountain, but those self-flushing toilets scare the crap out of me."

Funniest Comment ever!

While on the bus from MK back to Pop this past Thursday, a lady kindly put her young daughter on her lap so I could sit down with my 18 month old DD. My DH was standing in front of me. The little girl next to us starting pointing to the two men standing in front of her holding on to the rails during the bus ride (DH included) and told her mom that they were "bad boys" and "stinky boys." She said that all boys were bad and stinky. Her mom said "I hope you feel that way when you're 15!" It was adorable.

This Tuesday I was in EPCOT when my mom said, "I need to get a baby shower gift, lets go back to MooseGear." I just shook my head, Its MOUSEgear mom...this isn't Rocky & Bullwinkle Town!

On Thursday, it was pouring rain and we were waiting for a table at the Plaza in MK when this lady tried to bring her 2 double strollers into the restaurant! The people working there tried to explain to her that it wouldn't fit and she was obviosly getting frustrated. "He's a five month old baby, he doesn't sit up. Not even a little!" My mom & I joked about it the rest of the trip. I mean you wouldn't take a stroller into a regular restaurant! They eventually let her bring one in and she was really worried that the other one would have to sit out in the rain.

My own son 2yo inline for something:

"Mommy I want to go to bed and play with my big woody" of course he was talking about a toy woody, but there were of course quite a few giggles around us.
He also told people he has "the biggest woody"

Im glad we weren't staying at ASMovies, he would have talked about woody all week.

OK - this reminds me of my son's 4th birthday in 2001. WE had a Toy Story cake for the party and as the kids were waiting to be served the cake, my son's friend, Jake, grabs the figurine from the top of the cake and proceeds to lick off the icing. DS shrieks "Mom! Jacob is licking my Woody!"

DH and I still talk about that line all the time! DS would be mortified now if we told him.

Last year we overheard a man talking to his sons in the Fast pass line- *in a NYC accent* "Geez, we need a fast pass for the fast pass line!" And then he proceeded to chuckle and talk about how smart he was for coming up with that line. We laughed about that and repeated it all throughout this last year.

On our recent trip, I decided to bring along a pedometer to see just how far we were walking.

On one of our bathroom jaunts, I heard my pedomete talking.... I guess I had hit the reset button and it said nice and clearly "ALL CLEAR"

For the rest of our trip, that line was used and had everyone giggling....

Oh well,

Coffee just about came out my nose on that one! I can only imagine being the person in the next stall hearing that!

While waiting in line at Splash Mountain the other day I heard this conversation - a girl (about 19-20yrs old) on cell phone with her dad:

Girl: Well, if you have your ticket, you can do it.
Girl: Just take your ticket and put it in the Fast Pass machine 4 times and you'll get 4 fast passes.
Girl: OK, put your ticket in 4 times . . . . Not valid??? OK, SO JUST MOVE OVER TO THE NEXT MACHINE AND DO IT AGAIN!!!!

That conversation was worth the wait in line!!!

I have been saving this one for awhile, but it's one of my favorites

So we are at our first day of our January 2010 trip, and it is the last night of O! Lights, DHS is COLD, and crowded, and we got in line for Star Tours, as somehow DH had never done it before. We are waiting in a 20 minute standby line that just seems to stall, and this family in front of us ( Mom, Dad, little girl about 4 and little boy about 18months are all talking. The Dad picks up the lil guy and holds him so he is facing over his shoulder and the lil guy looks right at DH with the most determined face and yells ROAAARRRR!

Dh is shocked and starts laughing, and the Mom says " Oh I am sorry ever since he saw Indiana Jones he has been saying that" Dh just laughs it off and says to me, that is the best kid ever!

Then the Dad lets lil guy ( who we have now nicknamed ROAR kid) down, and he starts to climb on one of the rocks in line. Dad is spotting him in case he falls, and he gets to the top bangs on his chest with his fists like a gorilla and looks right at DH and yells ROOOAAARR! At this point the Mom, and Dad bust up into laughter. After a few more minutes the ride is announced to be down and the family gets out of line to make there ADRS.

All week we joked about " The Roar Kid" When we were driving up to MK I would say " Oh look Roar Kid climbed Space Mountain ROAR! " Or Roar kid is like Chuck Norris, he doesn't do Push Ups, he pulls the earth up and down towards him.. ect.

Anyways on the LAST night of our trip we are getting off of SM during EMH at MK. I hear a lil one crying, and look over and see " Roar Kid " bawling in his stroller. I said to DH " look there he is " and we both ran back. Now we looked really awkward, so we said pretended we dropped something. I wish we had had a little toy or something to cheer him up, and make him say ROAR again! As we were walking out DH just looks back and says " Cheer up tough guy!"

I know it sounds crazy, but to me people watching and waiting on line is an attraction in itself and with each line I wait on, it is a new and unique experience.

I'm right there with you.
I really love the 30 minute to 2 hour relationship you make with people too.

In line to meet Jiminy Cricket, there were two ladies in front of us:

Lady 1: What is he? What is his name?
Lady 2: It's Jiminy Grasshopper.



So now we always call him Jiminy Grasshopper whenever we see him.

The best I've ever caught was last week at TL: Pluto was arriving for some photos and autographs. Suddenly a woman started screaming to her kids (very loud): "LOOK, THERE'S GOOFY!!" Immediately her kids ran to Pluto, hugged him while saying :" Ohhh..Goofy, Goofy!"
My boyfriend and I laughed the whole day.

Not at Disney, but in a line:

We were at a buffet restaurant, and my youngest wanted roast beef. She went by herself-she was old enough-to the carving station. While waiting, she kept hearing people tell the carver that they wanted their beef "medium". I'd never taught her the differences in beef, such as "rare", "medium", "well-done", I'd always just served it as is! Take it or leave it!

Anyhow, when it was her turn, she had figured how she wanted her roast beef, so when the big guy holding huge, sharp instruments asked her how she wanted hers, she bravely told him, "small".

She did get a small piece! LOL
