People waiting in line say the darndest things!

[goodfood4ursoul]

This wasn't over heard but...

When DD was about 7 and totally into the princesses, we went to WDW. She had breakfast with the princess, waited 2 hours to see Ariel and an hour to see Jesse. At this point, we've had enough. We were leaving the park and she grinned at us and said, "My life is now complete!" LOL It made everything so worth it.

Hubby had conspired with the CM to get Ariel to say to him, "See you at the ball tonight!" DD was just wide eyed!

On another trip, we were waiting to see Tink. We had no clue that there were other fairies. A little girl in front of us started telling us their names. Hubby then butchered their names into Silverfish and Rosacea. Now I can't say their names right.

Hubby will often say weird things in line or on a crowded bus to get reactions. On a VERY crowded bus in January he said things like "Wish I hadn't had the chili for lunch." and "Did the doctor say if that rash was contagious?" Two older ladies just stared at him and huddled closer together.

He is soooo embarrassing!

Thanks for letting me share!

I think I married you husband's long lost twin
My DH should have been an actor
When we go on, shall we say, the more vigorous rides, he'll say things like
"I shouldn't have eaten all that spaghetti"
and do all kinds of sound effects during the ride- not vomiting sounds, but groaning, moaning, etc.
But then he giggles and everyone knows he's kidding.
(We've been pulling that joke on Davinci's Cradle at Busch Gardens, W'burg for 22 years )
He also likes to pretend he's worried & scared to ride an attraction,
and ask one of the little kids in line about how "bad" the ride is
and let the little kids be big & brave and talk him into riding it.

He butchers names on purpose too...
that's how DD's boyfriends know if they are approved of or not.
No goofball name and you've still got work to do..

At birthday parties for small children he's likely to ask the birthday child how it feels to be 16...
he is so silly

And at the grocery store, in the checkout line,
he'll ask the cashiers if they've got any extra cash he can borrow...
We live in a small town, so we all know each other & they know he is kidding...

All I can say is that life is never boring

My DH calls Animal Kingdom "Lion King-dom". Sheesh....

We call Expedition Everest 'The Yeti Ride' in our family. i just cannot remember the name of that ride on a regular basis!

 

[ArmandXG]

Ooh, that would be a great t-shirt!

I wish I had been there, I would have replied, "No, this is the queue for the line, the line for the queue is around the corner."

Darn! Why didn't I think of that!!!

I went on the safari ride by myself. There was a group behind me who were on their first visit. As we went along, one woman kept talking about the zebras - how pretty they were. I looked all around and could not see a zebra. The driver then started talking about the family of giraffes we were passing. In a very very slow southern accent, the woman said oh yeah, that's what they are called.

Later in the ride where the bridge tips and the driver tells everyone to lean to the right (think). Well after we crossed the bridge, this group starts talking about how dangerous the ride was. They could not believe Disney would not repair a bridge!!

This isn't waiting in line but it has to do with my boyfriend's nephew (3) when we were seeing Finding Nemo the musical. We sat right next to the runway and and I was holding Austin and this was at the end of the show and Nemo was running down the stage and I held Austin up and Nemo gave Austin a high five.

At the end of the show Austin said " That was nice of Nemo" and it was so cute because he was so happy. He kept saying the whole trip That was Nice of Nemo and it was just so cute because he was so happy!!

He doesn't remember it now though. Haha!

How about one heard in the ride. a DBF was telling his DGF on ToT how it was NOT scary, and that she had nothing to freak out about. They were older teenagers, and he said that she needed to grow up and realize that there was nothing scary about Disney World - it was the safest place around. She was still nervous, but got on the ride. During the drops, the DBF was SCREAMING like a little girl - ridiculously high pitched. DGF was just laughing at him.

He and I didn't last long after that Disney trip, but at least I will always remember his girly screaming!

This was my absolute favorite! I love it how guys can treat their gfs in such a manner, then get slapped with karma!

 

[aenelson]

What a great thread! I am sitting here, cracking up! DH keeps asking, "What are you laughing at?"!!

Lol, my DH keeps looking at me really weird, finally asked me if I was ok, I smiled and nodded....The next thing out of his mouth "honey give me some of what you are having". Ok well come on over, now we are both reading and cracking up!!

This reminds me of my last trip! We were on the safari ride and they were talking about poachers, and my boyfriend gives me this confused look and asks, "They don't really have poachers in Disney World, right? I mean, the animals are safe here?"

Yes, math major boyfriend, the animals are safe. Just goes to show how magical Disney really is!

This is not a quote from a stranger, but from my dad on his first Disney trip this past November.

It was one of our last days and my dad had been wearing down our nerves with his incessant question asking before and during every attraction. It was like we had a 3 year old with us, lol. So by the end, we just told him to enjoy it as it comes instead of finding out every detail in advance.

We come out of the Hall of Presidents and my dad said:

Dad:Wow, I really like that, that was really powerful. I think Obama could have been better though.
Me: What do you mean?
Dad: The guy who played him didn't look or sound like him very much. I think they could have found a better guy.
Me & DH: *hysterical giggling*
Me: Dad, none of those are real people, they're anamatronics, and the voice really was Obama.
Dad: What's an anamatronic?
DH: *explanation 1046*

We laugh about it now. By that point I just found the situation hilarious, but poor DH was on his last nerve...

DS was 6 last October when we saw Hall of Presidents for the first time with him. While DH was browsing the gift shop, DS and I were by the door near the cash wrap. DS said "I'd really like to be president someday." The CM overheard and told him something along the lines that he could someday. DS said, "I know, then I could just come and work here on my free time."

The CM and I just exchanged glances before giggling. DH walked up and DS asked if he thought the presidents got to ride any rides when they weren't busy. CM and I just died laughing while DH gave me the evil eye and said, "Presidents like to take a vacation like everyone else!" and then to DS, "I bet they could ride any ride they want."

DS said, "That's awesome." ( his favorite term at the moment)

I did eventually explain the conversation to DH. He said he was trying to figure out why the CM and I were laughing so hard, and why the CM told DS that he'd made her day.

He told me recently, while reminiscing about WDW, that he knew those presidents were actors. I had to explain animatronics to him, and he wants to see it again now.

Last November my mother-in-law took the family down to the World and on our fourth day in the parks she figured out that Disney will give out Family Reunion buttons to wear and got one for everyone. So we are standing in line at Soarin' and Hubby is holding one of the our boys. They are being all lovey with one another when suddenly Hubby starts yelling, "Get off! Get off! Get off of me! Let me go!" I ask what is your problem and once our sweet little angel (who is grinning and laughing during all of this) is pried off of Hubby, Hubby turns to me and says, "He had undone my pin and was stabbing me in the chest!" Our entire group just rolled. Last time Hubby wore a pin while in the parks. I can only imagine what people around us thought of Hubby yelling at son to get off of him.

2. Overheard in MK as a woman was getting in at the end of a line, she asked the man if front of her "Is this the line for the queue?" Makes me wonder what was going through her head when she asked this.

That makes me think of one of the restaurants here (I think Applebees), which has "queso cheese" on the menu. Really now?

"If these people knew how much money we had, they'd certainly treat us better."

This one was 12 years ago and I still remember it.

geez! some people!

I was waiting for the bus from AK when a family of 4 joined me. The dad was telling the younger daughter that she would be tall enough for EE next year. The older daughter was telling the mom she didn't see the yeti this year and did she know where she was? I happened to be taking out my pony tail (hair is really long, curly and somewhat wild) and heard the youngest whisper "There's the yeti."

this just made me giggle. i love kids.

My face is tired....I just read through the WHOLE thread!

When my dd turned 3 her daddy was away for a few months. He came home shortly after her birthday and surprised us all with a last minute (like I had 5 days to prepare) trip to Disney. Needless to say having a 3 year old and 2 year old both with special needs and having my spouse away had left me tired and exhausted. Well packing for the trip meant no catching up on sleep. So I ran around the house frantically getting ready. On our first day at WDW we were at Epcot. Everyone was happy and excited. Baby boy had fallen asleep and we were sitting down to a snack. DD looks at dh and says "Daddy, be nice to mommy. She's a little bit crazy!" I guess to a 3 year old sleep deprivation looks like a little bit crazy. lol

LOL! Well at least she was thinking of you.

We were on a Disney Line Cruise last year. My husband, 3-year-old daughter and I were in an elevator. The only other person was a tiny woman (maybe in her 50s or 60s.) As we were riding, my daughter says to the woman:

"You look like Piglet."

In case the woman didn't hear her statement, my daughter was kind enough to repeat it.

My husband and I wanted to die. We just sort of pretended that we didn't know what horrible parents would leave a 3-year-old in the elevator all by herself

By the way, when the woman did look at us (not amused at all) she did have the most adorable face - kinda like piglet. But I clearly didn't mention that to her.

Ok..thats it!!! Mental picture and all...so many funny post but for me thats the winner!!!!

We were in line the first part of Sept and the dad says to his kid....."Hey be happy! Your in line at Disney, not Wal-Mart!" I just about rolled on the ground!

 

[aenelson]

I LOVE this response. There's nothing you could possibly do to a Texan to insult him more than calling him a Mexican! But, with his response to you it was near perfect. (Texans, in my experience, are universally in love with Texas. Yes, most Americans are partial to their home town/state, but Texans take it to the top level.)

Alaskan's take our state love just a little bigger, and more top level

Couple in line in front of us in MK. He says "Strollers are the great whites of the theme parks and we're the seals. How does it feel to be that low on the food chain?"
