People waiting in line say the darndest things!

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.

OT, but we were getting READY for Disney.....

We were at the bank the day before our trip and my DS6 (3 at the time)
saw a man in line in front of us with an eye patch....He got really excited and said "Mommy-I didnt know pirates come to our bank!!" The man was so gracious about it and even gave him an "ARR!"

So embarrassing!

Very sweet of the man to understand the thought process of a 3 year old!

I have one and my DW has a couple:

mine - on my first trip in 97 my DW and I overheard a mother actually say "OMG, it's awake" when referring to their sleeping child in a stroller. That entire day it seemed to us that all the parents with children were frowning and those without a child were smiling.

DW - my DM, DS, and I were in The Enchanted Tiki Room and my DM asks "how do they keep the birds from pooping on people?" and DS responded in a very incredulous and serious tone "GM, you can hear the beaks clicking"

DW - my DS and I were on 20,000 Leagues and I commented to DS playfully that we were really underwater and look at the bubbles...DS (6 at the time) responded "Mommy, you can see the wires (attached to the fish)". He did the same thing at the Living Seas..."Mom, we're not going down" when referring to the aquavator.

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?"

I have one, sort of anyway. While on my first solo trip I was browsing in DTD and overheard two women gabbing and looking through a rack of t-shirts.

They can across a shirt with the Cheshire cat on it and one said to that other, "Would you want a cat on your chest?" The next shirt they picked up was of a Pirate.

The friend again asked, "Would you want a pirate on your chest?" To which I replied, "YES!"

A few weeks ago we were in DHS. My nephews (9 & 8) and niece (6) had just finished the Jedi Training Academy and we tried to hotfoot it on down to see Indiana Jones. We got there to find that Indiana Jones was full so we decide to trudge back to do Star Tours. Halfway there my younger nephew (he's autistic) starts screaming that he wants a beer. Now, he doesn't drink beer at home so I have no idea where he's getting this from or why he's screaming "I want a BEER... I. said. beer!!" as I'm pulling him along telling him he just can't have a beer. All the while I'm just positive that everyone around us is thinking what kind of hicks we must be! We get back to earth after our trip to Endor and, once again start walking towards Indiana Jones. Then I see the stand selling funnel cakes and..... root beer!

From the same trip - we now have a new name for Spaceship Earth. My niece just loves "The Giant Disco Ball"

LOL, I hope you got that kid a beer!

While waiting in line to board the boat from MK to the WL, the boat captain asks the man behind us, "where does your party end?" (trying to judge the number of people he can let on the boat) The guys response, "the Wilderness Lodge!!" We cried with laughter...it had been a long, hot day and I guess we were all a little delirious. Of course, my kids were still laughing when we boarded the boat, and the only seats left when he got on were right beside us. We still laugh at that to this day.

Hmmm....only if that pirate is Captain Jack Sparrow!

We were at MCO, in line to board the magical express to go to Coronado Springs two weeks ago. I'm guessing this came from a conventioneer. We overheard a woman say to her 3 friends: "Next time I think we will only go to two of the parks, not all of them." When asked what parks there are, she says. "There is Animal Kingdom, MGM, Universal and of course Disney. The only good thing at MGM is kids can go around to the different countries and get their passports stamped."

Just saw this one when I was checking out reviews for Beach Club - not heard in line, but I thought of this topic when I saw it

"This hotel was fantastic! Walking distance to Epcot, a boat ride away from Universal Studios (which kids always enjoy)."

Gave me a good laugh .

Standing in line at Lion King..

Man in front loudly singing along

Ahhhhhhhh Pennsylvania ..

On DCL there's a comedian who comes on called Heath Hyche who does the Circle of Life song like this:

Aaaaahhhhhh Pennsylvaniaaaaa konechiwaaaaaaa
pink pajamas penguins on the bottom, pink pajamas penguins on the bottom

We were crying we were laughing so hard!!!!

I loved this one! And my 3 year old regularly asks for beer - my DH is a homebrewer and the kids often help with the barley. They do not get to drink it - but I do!

I was in line for the boat at POR and overheard a woman saying: "Life's too short to live in Illinois, that's for sure." Apparently she doesn't like Illinois.

Later we were somewhere in Animal Kingdom and overheard a man trying to explain The Great Movie Line to another guy he was with. From the sounds of it he was being completely serious when he told him: "The Great Movie Ride is about movies." ... Yes. Yes it is.

And not an exact quote, but there was a woman in Animal Kingdom who insisted that the bats weren't real because if so they would fly through the space in between the bars. (Nevermind the fact that there isn't enough room for them to fit through there.)

There was also a couple arguing very loudly while in line for one of the buses (I don't remember which park) and from what I gathered they were arguing over a misunderstanding involving a hot dog.

While breezing past a very long standby line at Kilimanjaro Safaris in the fast pass line, I overheard this:

Standby line guy: "That is not fair! I guess if you have tons of money you don't even have to stand in line!"

That's hilarious! Wait till they find out that their is no fee for fast passes required!

 

[pgh207]

LMAO, great thread!

a few years back we (dh,me,ds) took my (at the time) 15 yo niece with us - her first trip - our about 9th trip. we were on line for COP and the CM started letting us all in - going to the left. he stopped my niece and told her all ppl with green shirts have to go to the right (as he directed her to do so)... she went off by herself to the right... until she heard the laughter

on a related note, same day, same shirt, different attraction - a CM asked her if she was feeling a little green today. what a bewildered look on her face!

this upcoming trip with be our 14th trip to WDW. my DH is still trying to get used to the fact that Universal/IOA and Sea World/Discovery cove is not owned by Ddisney AND which parks actually are owned by Disney!

DH still calls BTMRR the runaway train (which is the OLD name of a roller coaster in our six flags!)

And i never knew i had a jersey accent until i went to WDW!!!

You're not alone. I never knew I had a Cajun accent until I went to HS & a CM told me she knew where I was from by my accent!
