People waiting in line say the darndest things!

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."

OMG I nearly spit out my drink reading this one!

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

Oh that is just too funny!

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!"

It never ceases to amaze me how oblivious people can be. I mean, come on! There is a panel explaining what FastPass is on every park map.

We were on the boat from WL to MK. A girl pointed at the Contemporary and said, "Dad, what's that?" He responded, "Space Mountain."

I almost burst out laughing!

I have a few to add

The first isn't from a WDW line but it was overheard at the Red Lobster at Crossroads, so pretty close to WDW

It was a few years ago, my best friend and I were heading to the restroom and a Mom and 2 daughters (8 and 10 maybe) were just in front of us. The girls get into the restroom and the younger yells "I call handicap" and darted into the handicap stall. My friend and I looked at each other with bewildered expressions and nearly died of laughter, even the Mom was cracking up. It was just so random!

The next was last year. We were heading through Adventureland and as we passed the tunnel that goes through to Frontierland we hear a little boy "Noooo! Don't make me!! I don't want to!" and we looked around out of curiosity. The boy was in a stroller, maybe 4 years old and his Mom was heading into the shop on the corner of the tunnel in Adventureland. He continued "Please....no more shopping!!"

My mom and I cracked up on the spot.

I once heard a couple refer to the Tower of Terror as the Tower of Fear and I thought...close....but not quite....doesn't have the same ring to it does it?

One of the best came from my DMom. We had a very long travel day (up at 6, connecting flight etc.) and it was about 2pm by the time we were driving to our resort. We were staying at the Poly so we had to drive through the MK gates to get there. Keep in mind this was our...30th or so, trip to WDW.

DMom: What does that day?
Me: What does what say Mom?
DMom: The sign, above the gates.
Me: The Magic Kingdom?
DMom: No...the one that is spaced out...W...E...L...C...welc? what is that?
Me: Um...you mean the one that says "welcome"?
DDad: *LMAO*
DMom: .....yes....that one....shut up i'm tired....LOL

My grandkids are scared to death of those toilets too! but will ride anything!!!

The machine to dry your hands in most of AK's restrooms scare me even more. I'm always afraid that it will end up sucking me up!!!

 

[BayouMickey]

My son when he was 3 (now 17)
His first trip in '95, the whole trip I heard
"When can I see poke-a-hiney??"
Pocahantis was his favorite movie at the time.

 

[jboysen]

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

OMG Thank You so much for this suggestion! My now 4 year old is getting more fearful by the trip of the auto-flush toilets! I will use this for our up coming trip. Infact, these may be stocked in the diaper bag, more and more places are putting them in.

We were staying at Pop Century in the 1950s section. We were walking to the main building and a man and his little boy, probably about 5, were walking toward the bowling pin pool. The little boy says, "yeah, Dad, we don't need no stinking flower pool." DD15 and I crack up every time we think about this.

When DD was about 5, we were just entering DHS and she spotted Chip and Dale. She shouts out to me and DH, "look, look, there's Chip and Dip!"

Chip & Dip! I LOVE THIS!!!!!

Ok, I think this one is my favorite!

My DD, who is also 5, refers to the pair as Chicken Dale... and no amount of discussion will change her mind.

Also, while we were at Epcot over MLK weekend in January, DD was telling us what she'd learned about "Martin Lou, third king" at school. My DS, 9 years old, corrected her saying "His name is Martin Luther King, but he wasn't actually a king." DD replied, "Yes he was! He was the THIRD king. And he made people march."

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

I don't recall anything specific that I have heard while waiting in line. However, I am a HUGE fan of people watching and hearing and seeing some of the things while waiting in line is one of the reasons I opt to not use FP. I have used FP before but I always felt like I was missing something, like the ride was incomplete.

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.

Very interesting perspective. You've given me a new appreciation for waiting in line and this June when my family goes, hopefully it will make the waits more enjoyable!

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I'm going to start saying random and dumb things when in line or walking around the park so that some day somebody quotes me in one of these threads.

I would find that entertaining.

While waiting in line at splash mountain we came up to the loading area (where you come out of the cave) and the lady in front of us says to her kids "wow, it's amazing how real that sky looks!"

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.

That is the best example of poetic justice I have ever seen!

Mine happened in the Mama Melrose bathrooms over MLK weekend, which was the weekend the Vikings beat the Cowboys in the playoffs. There were three stalls in the restroom. There was a grandma in one, a mom and little girl in the second, and me in the last one. I had come in just as they went in the stalls. While we were all doing our thing, one of them started singing the Vikings fight song. They got one line into it and drew a blank on the words. They were trying to remember the next line so I started singing it. Pretty soon all four of us were peeing and singing "Skol, Vikings!" I left before they came out, so we never actually met face to face.

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!!!

DS identifies people as being dead or not, too. It's hard, to be little, and have so many things around us, made/created by people who are no longer around. So DS has definitely identified Walt Disney as being dead before. We're learning about money right now, and Washington is the "first dead president", according to him!

These are SO cute! A few years ago, my oldest daughter insisted that the lion from JoJo's circus is name Golion. No matter how many times I explained to her that his name is Goliath, but it is hard to hear the pronunciation of the -th at the end, she wouldn't believe me. She insisted, "Mom, that doesn't make any sense. He is a lion. His name is Golion. It's like they're saying, 'Go, lion!'" Cracked me up. There was no convincing her otherwise!

Ok--I have a second one to add.

The first time my mother went into Epcot's Mexico Pavilion it was about 12pm on a sunny summer day. We got on the boat ride and she exclaimed "Oh, I'm so glad we came here at night!"

I was so embarassed, and I still tease her about it. It took her a minute to realize that it's always evening in Mexico.

Hubby and I were staying at AKL and standing on our balcony looking at the animals. We heard someone next door come out onto their balcony (couldn't see them) and pass gas LOUDLY! We started silently giggling. A minute later the wife comes out, states "God, these animals just stink!", and husband innocently replies "Yeah, I know"! We couldn't handle it and had to run into our room laughing. That was 7 years ago and we still having laughing fits remembering it!

 

[ilovejsparrow]

I was waiting in line for Toy Story Mania, and on one of the giant toy boxes it said "US- $3.00, Canada- $3,000".. or something like that. A man and woman in front of me, whose reunion t-shirts indicated that they were from Minnesota, looked at each other and asked, "Where is CAN-NAY-DIA?".. it was pretty funny. Being from Buffalo, and having Canada pretty much as a next door neighbor, I thought everyone knew where Canada is, or at least how to say it!
