People waiting in line say the darndest things!

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.

awe... that's actually kinda sad. she was quite confused.
Did you finally tell her??

Normally I would have, but she was one of those really dramatic, "I'm always right," don't-take-a-breath kind of people and I suspect she would have bitten my head off. There was some weird dynamic going on, given that she didn't even sit with the rest of the family and just kept rattling on and on at them. I kind of think they were arguing before they got on the monorail.

DH and I do help a lot of confused tourists tho'. Sometimes we'll break into their conversation, but often they will ask us out of the blue. We must look relatively harmless and like we know where we're going. I think some of the people in lines regret engaging DH because he turns into a walking Disney guidebook if given half a chance.

1. In an open area near entrance to Soarin' two little boys, about 5 and 6 were kind of hopping around and playing - just normal kid stuff. They weren't hurting a thing. The dad grabbed them and stopped them and started SCREAMING: You two are ruining everything. Everything we have done this whole vacation has been completely ruined by you two. Everything. I've had ZERO fun this whole trip. ZERO. Do you hear me? etc etc etc.... The kids and wife were totally silent and so was everyone else within a 30 foot radius of this clown. He looked up and realized everyone was starring and excused himself to go to the restroom and then walked right into the ladies room.

2. Waiting in line for character autographs, a little girl sees the Country Bears and slams her book shut and stuffs it into her bag and says, "I don't want no hillbilly bears signing my book."

Yea, I think I would have let her believe it too and just keep riding... haha.
With some people you can tell it's not worth it to try and help them out.
Kudos to your DH for doing what he can.
I do the same thing and it drives my kids nuts sometimes because I get into long conversations and they have to wait!!

This isn't a single comment as much as an entire conversation. A husband, wife and child. The husband started a phone conversation (work related) while in line for the Jungle Cruise and the conversation lasted on after they got off the boat. From the line to, through the ride to walking away was him talking work and not showing interest to what was going on, family, ride or anything else.

I saw a lady doing this, not in The World itself, but at Disney on Ice last year
We had great seats, made sure we got there early, the kids had their snacks
We were ready. Well, the lights go out,and for the ENTIRE SHOW, she was playing games on her cell phone, never looked up one time to see the show
How sad

I didn't hear this in line, but when I was a College Program CP, a guest walked up to me at MK, and asked me, "where is ToT?". I said, "it is at MGM". She said, "well where is that?" I said "it is on the other side of Disney Property, if you have a park hopper, you can take a bus to get there". She said, "what are you talking about? I paid to get into disney, and this is disney where the bleep is ToT". I told her "disney has four theme parks, and you are at MK" She just got mad, and walked off.

My friend worked at DHS back when it was at MGM. She had the same thing happen to her. A guest asked her where is the castle, and they were so upset when they realised there were 4 theme parks!

I also had several, guest ask me, "what time is the 9 o'clock fireworks"?

It amazes me that people spend the money they do and do not inform themselves of where they are going? I'm not saying plan, plan, plan but come on, atleast watch the free DVD! Know matter where I go I try to atleast get my barrings straight somehow!

Not funny, but while waiting to go through the security line at Epcot on Christmas morning, some guy in front of me decided to joke around with the guard by saying, Hey, that lady over there has a gun in her purse!". OMG!!!
The guard didn't think it was too funny, he called for back-up, pulled the idiot out of line and said" Sir, we don't kid about things like that here." to which dumb nut replies, " But, I was only joking, you guys need to lighten-up."

 

[mom2lns]

We were in the Bug's Life play area at HS, and I overhead another man and woman talking about the Spiderman ride. She looking at the map and doesn't see it on there. He says he knows that ride is at Universal Studios. She says this map says it's Hollywood Studios and "Isn't that the same thing?" Then she lets out a big sigh. Oops.

 

[Jennasis]

My cousin thinks it's funny to say off things near people who are shooting wiht their video camera. During a parade, he's standing next to a family whose dad is, shooting away with their camcorder as Lilo and Stitch go by, so my cousin yells "Hey look! It's Stootch!"

Now whenever we see him, DH and I yell "Look! It;s Stootch!"

That is sad. My mom is meeting up with us on one of our days in WDW. She mentioned the other day that she would love to go to Universal Studios with us on the day that we go... I was like 'Mom we aren't going to Universal Studios we are going to Hollywood Studios.' She didn't know that there was a difference either. I wonder how much that happens.

 

[DisGirl23]

These are great!!!

 

[LovinRafiki]

We were waiting in line for Thunder Mountain and we heard the funniest comment! This mom turned to her kids and said, "Oh I bet that Dinosaur would be really cool to ride at night too!" Me and DH just turned to each other and busted out laughing. It was our joke for the rest of the week. We kept on say, "Oh I be rockin rollercoaster would be really cool at night." And "Space Mountain is awesome at night." Just a stupid thing but it made us laugh every time!

 

[MHSweb79]

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!

I don't know, I think both of you have the right idea.

 

[tpettie]

DD & her friend overheard this in a bathroom at WDW and called me back in the room immediately because they were laughing so hard.

Mother: We got here on Sunday and today is Wednesday. Now what does that mean?

Little Girl: It's been FOUR DAYS since I've peed my pants!

Disney World IS a magical place, isn't it?

Reminds me of my 3yr old in the bathroom with big step sister who she doesn't see much.

Yell out from the bathroom stall I don't have " Herpes" anymore what she was really saying was she doesn't have

"Hurt pees" anymore she just go done having a blatter infection.

big sister was beside herself

I didn't hear this in a park, I watched it on youtube.

A family enters the Magic Kingdom. While walking down Main Street, they say they plan to ride Splash Mountain first. The family turns right and walk passing Buzz, COP... I'm watching and thinking maybe I misunderstood. Maybe they are going to Space Mountain. Nope, they walked around the whole park.

Judging by the crowd, it was very hot that day.

you've got to post that video!

How pissed would you be if you went through the whole hassle of getting to orlando, paying for your tickets, waiting in line and then some time half way through your day you realize you're at the wrong park... OMG!!!

And this is WHY we tell people to "do your homework!!!!"

 

[MHTeacher]

This past New Year's Eve (busiest day of the year ) , there was a young couple behind us in line for RnRC @ DHS. They were looking at the guide map as we moved through the line. The girl said, "Oh, look---50s PrimeTime---that sounds fun. We should eat lunch there".

 

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Seriously - you'd lie about being peed on?? .

Yep sure would. That would be a tame lie compared to some that people use to skip line.
