People waiting in line say the darndest things!

We overheard this conversation between a father who was trying to do it all with his family that was looking worn out:

Family: "Come on Dad, we are ready to go"

Dad: "We are not leaving"

Family: "I am walking towards the exit NOW"

Dad: "WE ARE NOT LEAVING UNTIL WE GO SEE THE 'DANCING BEAR JUBILEE'!"

We joke about this each and every trip!!

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."[/QUOTE

This is so funny! Our first trip to DW was when my DD was 2 yrs. old and almost completely potty trained. The first time she used one of the self-flushing toilets it scared the heck out of her and she refused to use the bathrooms at DW for the whole rest of the trip. I had to put pull-ups back on her because I was scared that she would make herself sick "holding it" until we got back to our condo. For a year after, before she would use a toilet in a public bathroom, she would ask me, "Does it go loud?"

We have the same problem! Ever since we left WDW last summer, my 2 year old has to know if the flush is going to be loud in public restrooms. If there is any doubt, she has to leave the stall before I flush.

These are hilarious.

We were on the boat ride at The Land and were just entering the dome with all the plants in it. The boy in front of us said, "Look mom! We in the big golf ball!"

Good one! Thanks, I needed the laugh tonight.

My DD16 and I were in France at EPCOT waiting to visit with Aurora. The mom & daughter (8 or 9ish) behind us were discussing what country they would visit next.

Daughter: where are we going next mom?
Mom: how about Canada?
Daughter: OK.... (pause) Hey mom, what language do they speak there?

Are you kidding me?
My DD started to laugh while I turned around and politely told her "most of us just speak English".

This wasn't in line but on the monorail. A family got on and for some odd reason the mother (a very glamor queen type with jeweled sunglasses and big hair) sat next to DH and I instead of her family even though there was room by them. That made it all the better to hear her conversation. She spent the entire time wondering how long it was going to be before the monorail got to DHS. As we passed each hotel she lamented loudly to her family that it hadn't taken as long the day before. She was still at it when DH and I got off at TTC. The next stop was the hotel where they got on so I wonder if she ever figured out how to get to DHS and what magical monorail she was on the day before.

Well, this wasn't overheard while waiting in line but I think it fits here. A former co-worker of mine came back from a weeklong vacation in Orlando and was really miffed. She said they looked all week and never could find the castle, Space Mtn, etc etc. After asking a few questions I figured out that they only went to the Universal parks - never set foot on Disney property. Can you imagine how much fun it might have been to eavesdrop on their conversations while waiting in line?

I would have loved to see the look on her face when you explained where all that was!!!!

Carry a pack of the very small 3M sticky notes. Put one over the eye sensor that detects movement and triggers the flushing!

 

[cassiez76]

these have been great!

hubby and i were on the bus to mk and the guy behind us says, "i don't wanna go to prison."

hubby and i looked at each other with a funny face so we listened more and the conversation with i think it was uncle or some other male relative/close family friend got a little better and he'd turn his life around and buy a fruit stand.

somewhere along the way they were talking about inventory for said fruit stand and the prison guy says, "they tax you on dat?"

hubby loves to say they tax you on dat allllll the time in the same accent!

it was all in a very thick jersey/new york accent which made it all the better for this southern girl!

i don't think hubby and i could have tapped each other harder every time he said something else. i'm sure my eyes were as big as saucers! i'd love to know if he did go to prison and for what!!

i do love to stand in the lines at the parks to hear people talking and i know i've heard funny things, but this story on the bus is the one that sticks out the most!

 

[cbg1027]

I suppose I overheard this since I was a part of the convo. I was 13 and my sister was 11 one summer when we were at Disney.

Me: I wish my last name was Disney!
My sister: I wish my last name was Wal-Mart!

Our family still teases her about it, and we're 23 and 25 now!

The first time I was big enough to go on Space Mountain, I went with my mom and my grandmother. We waited in line forever and I was a bit nervous, but they kept telling me I'd be fine. When we got into the main room in the queue, I looked up and saw the spaceships zipping around with the people screaming. I remember being terrified at how high it was and couldn't decide if it was real or just a video, so I said "I hope what I'm seeing is not what I'm riding!" My mom and grandmother about busted out laughing and didn't want me to chicken out, so they lied to me and said "Noooooo, that's not the ride."

We still say that about rides sometime when we're waiting in line. "I hope what I'm seeing is not what I'm riding!"

A few months ago I was waiting in line at the crepes/soft-serve cart in France at EPCOT.

The lady behind me was eyeing the crepes and asked her husband what kind of soft-serve ice cream he wanted IN his crepe.

I should have stuck around to see the look on the cast member's face when she placed the order

Hey now! Be fair. She's a little girl! I'm not even sure I was interested in or much aware of other countries outside USA until I was probably in 5th grade. My world consisted of only my own locality. I certainly wasn't interested in even other states. California might as well have been a foreign country when I was 8. Just wasn't on the radar for me. I feel that our children today are much more globally aware at an earlier age. The world is certainly getting smaller and faster.

My 10 year old daughter asked me last night if French was the national language of Canada. Seems she has quite the crush on one Justin Bieber, a teen pop star. She has learned he speaks fluent French....... Then she said, well, "that makes a lot of sense, the French explored and settled there". They are learning....

DH and I were waiting in line at the security bag check entering EPCOT through the International Gateway. There was a young girl (maybe 4 or 5 years old) with her mom and dad at the bag check across from us with a very friendly, chatty CM. The CM took notice of the young girl's pin lanyard and was asking her questions about the pins-- including asking her if she knew 'who that man is' (while pointing to a pin of Walt Disney). The little girl paused for a few seconds and then responded "I don't really know who he is, but my Dad told me he's dead". DH and I lost it, and so did the CM... the little girl was just so serious and innocent... the CM didn't even know how to respond (and I think her parents were mortified!) ...The things that come out of the mouths of babes!!!

Don't many Canadians speak French as well? I think it was probably an honest question, especially from a child. Now, if mom had said they speak Canadian, that would have been a hoot!

Seems like a reasonable question to me, as isn't one of Canada's official languages French?

we were once waiting in line for Journey into Imagination (aka The Figment ride) and some man asked us if this was the line for the monorail.
