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."

I love this one!

When I was in the CP (1997) I worked @ the Magic of Disney Animation (before it was changed and was actually a working studio) as a tour guide.

The tour lines got pretty long and we would walk out and talk to guests. In the queue there were a bunch of topiaries. A guest, who was very upset, came up to me and asked why the characters were not interacting with her and just standing there. I had to explain they were PLANTS.

10+ years later and I will never forget that!

On our first trip to WDW in 1995, we were standing in line for Pirates of the Caribbean in the dark dank "cave". We were at a standstill in the line for a little while and dd2 keeps saying "Mommy, kawey kewatin" over and over. I cannot for the life of me figure out what she is trying to tell me. After hearing it about 20 times or so, I turn to ds5 and say "Do you know what she is trying to say?" and he points to the skeleton over in the corner and says "Scary Skeleton!"
We cracked up the rest of the day and 15 trips later dd is now 17 and ds is 20 and we make her say it in PotC line every trip.

DSs and I sometimes entertain ourselves in line by saying funny things or having fake arguments to see if anyone appears to be listening to us.

But one of you might have heard DH in all seriousness say at the buffet in Germany, as the waitress was explaining the family style dining, "If I'm going to pay this much to eat here, I don't want to have to sit with other people."

We were standing in line for Soarin' at WDW when a man in front of us enthusiastically said to his party they were going to ride the Nemo sub ride next.

I bet those clamshells really disappointed them.

 

[Nayan]

While waiting in line at Soarin': 'ok everyone, put on your poncho's so you don't get too wet'.

Overheard at Epcot: 'you can't do Test Track! You don't have your license yet!'

And sadly my DH: 'we gonna do that terror train thingy?'
Me: 'what terror train thingy?'
DH: 'in the tower over there!!' (points to ToT)
Me: 'you mean ToT?'
DH 'yeah or whatever it's called'
Me:

I was waiting in a long line crammed into the very small bathroom at Blue Bayou in Disneyland. One stall would be used and the person would come out , but the other stall door remained closed. A mother was standing outside the stall and every 30 seconds or so would ask, "Are you o.k? Do you need anything?"

A bright little voice would chirp, "I am just getting all the poopy out of me mommy!"

This went on very several minutes and finally the mother demanded to be allowed into the stall with her daughter. As soon as she got into the stall we heard a horrible gasp and then an exclamation....

"WE MUST NEVER PLAY WITH OUR POOPY!"

The happy chipper little voice replied, "Mommmmmmm, I told you, I am NOT playing with my poopy, I am just getting it out of my butt."

All of the women waiting in line got the giggles, it was just too funny.

The mother then appeared with a little girl dressed in full princess gear whose hands were covered in the aforementioned poopy. She also had gotten a little bit on her dress and a smear in her hair.

It would seem she was a little constipated and decided to take matters into her own hands, literally.

That little poop covered princess was so happy and filthy. It was beyond hilarious.

Several of us offered up wet wipes and the Mother finally got her daughter somewhat presentable. I donated a two gallon ziplock bag to hold the princess dress that was now accidentally decorated with poop.

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."

My favorite was in tomorrowland. Dad, Mom and 3 kiddos that appear to all be under 10 are walking towards Buzz. One little guy is dragging his behind, pouting. Dad realizes this-stops and takes the little guy by the shoulders. "Ok, I realize that this isn't the ride you wanted to do just now-but you need to take that attitude and throw it in the trash or you're going to be spending the rest of the week in the hotel room with a babysitter." Little guy sighs-very put upon-and reaches up to his head-grabs air with both hands-walks to the nearest trash can and throws his "attitude" away. Then, he rejoins his family minus the pouting and dragging behind.

I LOVED IT.

DH and I were there 2 years ago the end of October for our anniversary. We were in Epcot for F&W. At one of the trailers near the American Adventure they had about 20 beer taps with all kinds of beer. My DH was standing in line. The guy in front of him steps up and the CM says to him, "can I help you"? The guy goes, "yea, give me a beer". Not missing a beat, the CM says, "you want to clue me in as to which one"? DH said it was hysterical. After the guy left, my DH said to the CM, "that was great". She goes, "was he serious? Look at all these taps"!

This wasnt at Disney but on a family vacation to California we went to an attraction that was set up as an Old West Town. There was a guy who worked there sitting on a bench dressed in full cowboy gear. My mom says to my dad "Drew take a picture of me next to this statue" Then the guy moves and my mom is like "oh i'm so sorry". The guy then says "thats ok maam atleast you didnt call me a dummy" Then he took a picture with my mom

Overheard last week while waiting in line for Space Mountain:

"I can't promise you that you're not going to throw up. Now stop asking."

Overheard last week while waiting in line for Dinosaur:

"What about the boys in the Disney family? Do you know their ages? You should try and marry into all of this."

What are some funny things that you have overheard while waiting in line?

That's funny!

My husband and i were waiting in line for ice cream on the Boardwalk.

DH:I'm going to get vanilla
Me: why, vanilla's boring:
stranger in front of us, turning around: What's wrong with vanilla? All the other ice cream is just vamilla with stuff in it.

We now talk about that whenever we get ice cream...

a woman to her husband whom sh is pushing in a wheelchair:
"you can be happy or you can be right, but you can't be both"
What does that mean?

Okay, so keep in mind my DH speaks German and studied in Germany for two years in high school and a year in college.

We were in line waiting to check in with our ADR at Biergarten. There was a rude couple behind us trying to come up with a plan to get in to eat. They made it clear that they did not have an ADR, and if they got in, they wanted to sit close to the stage. They were just so rude, the lady was running into me the whole time, and telling me to move up because the line was moving… they were well… annoying. This couple came up with this story to tell the CM. The short end of the story was...

The couple was going to tell the hostess (who's German!) that they had scheduled an ADR with the Disney Dinning Plan and blame it on DDP when their reservation didn't show up at check in.

So... since we were ahead of this couple, my DH told the German hostess in German about the couple's plan behind us. The hostess said that she'd take care of it. We had a short wait, so of course we listened to see what happened to this couple.

The hostess of course didn't see the couple's name on the reservation list. So she said she'd call Disney Dinning on their behalf and try and figure out why the couple's name wasn't on the list.

Come to find out... The couple wasn’t on the Dinning Plan, and was turned away.

I had someone say to me while waiting in the regular line for Test track:

"Wow, you're so lucky! You get to sit all day! And skip the lines! How can I get one of those!"

There are several problems with this...

1) He was referring to my wheelchair, a $2500 custom manual chair. Yes, I am so lucky I cant walk. Nothing says fun like pain and suffering! (I am 25, so this is not a result of old age, where one older person may say that to another)

2) Yes I get to sit all day - especially when people are standing in front of me when trying to watch the fireworks!

3) I am waiting in the regular line. This man was waiting in the regular line. We were waiting there together. And yet he still goes on about how I get to skip the lines.... Am I missing something?

**Just a note, people with wheelchairs do NOT skip lines. You can tell this by the fact i was IN THE LINE!**

4) Whenever people express envy of my disability, I usually say they can go stand in front of a car and then they can experience every minute of my pain and wheelchair use!

My favorite part of this was his expressing envy about my skipping lines when I was IN THE LINE.

Overheard on Test Track: "This is like riding with my wife!"

DS and I were on TT and I told DS "OMG this is like riding with Daddy." There was a man in front of us with a small child and he could not stop laughing.

Mom and I were sitting at Tusker House last year. 2 Boys ( brothers)
about 10-12 years old started punching each other. The younger one started to get mad and he told his mom what had happened. The mom with the straightest face said " STOP fighting. We are at WDW this is the HAPPIEST place on Earth. Get control."
Mom and I just started laughing. The rest of the trip when one of us would get annoyed with the other we would say " this is the happiest place on Earth get control."

I say that often on our trip to DS. He can be so mopey and down. I tell him "This is the HAPPIEST place on EARTH!!! Get it together!!!!!! SMILE!

My DD was 2 years old the first time I took her to Disney and when she saw Quasimodo she screams out "Daddy there is Fozzy Bodo!" The crowd around just busted out laughing, to this day she still jokes around calling him Fozzy Bodo.

When DD was at AK we were at Rafiki's Planet Watch and when Rafiki came out she yells at the top of her lungs "Daddy its Mofiki!" I just love when little ones try to say things and don't quite get it right, its the innocence of a child that is so precious.

My youngest says Pooto for Pluto. I love hearing him say it.

 

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

these are great!!! im laughing my head off!

ds says belle-belle for tinkerbelle- you guy just reminded me....

i also love to listen to the convos going but havent really heard anything all that funny. altho twice, once at epcot and once at mk, weve struck up convos with people in front or behind us. at tt- the man and his son in front grew up one town over from where my grandmother grew up in england...very small world. at splash mountain we met a lovely couple from australia and he was in the army, so's dh altho its the canadian military.

oh that reminds me of one more- this past trip on spalsh with dd i said come on goober, triggered a convo with the guy in front he said that was his nickname growing up too! it was his dads, his and his sons.

i do have two that come to mind tho, one a childhood friend and i ended up on the same package to disney world from here. at mco on their train/monorial whatever its called, said former childhood friend, who didnt even know it was me, said to a kid travelling with her " hold on tj, this makes a lot of stops between here and where we get off"....um yeah...think she was already in vacay disney mode! lol i ran into her at hs later on that week and couldnt help but chuckle.

then a dear friend after i posted my pics on facebook said to me, upon seeing the pics from living with the land " oh is that whats in that giant ball? we never went on that one!" lol i had to correct her...i get where she was confused with parts of the roof looking similar...but i couldnt help but laugh....
