People waiting in line say the darndest things!

My last visit to Sea World (on a school field trip with DD10), our guide told us if you got tank water on you, it was full of Sham-poo!

On my nephew's first visit to MK at age 4, the first two rides they rode were Buzz Lightyear and Space Mountain. After the second, he looked at his mom and said, "Do we have to go into space on every ride?" He thought he'd been in space for real, and that all the rides were going to take him into space!

a mother telling her young son in line for buzz lightyear on a hot HOT july day that her a@# was so wet with sweat that shes gonna be chaft for a month.

I think after that I'd be heading for the German Pavilion to see if they had enough beer to erase that image from my mind.

I was afraid that would be an issue for DD on our first trip - she was 3 and had tons of toilet issues -- she was afraid of toilets that weren't white (the IMAX has black ones), Port-a-Potties (ok - I'm a little afraid of those) and yes, the self-flushing kind.

So on our first experience with the self-flush toilet at 'ohaha, I told her to pay attention, "Mickey Mouse would magically flush the toilet for us." And whatdaya know? He did! From then on out, whenever the toiled flushed automatically, she would chime "Mickey did it!

How cute!! That Mickey, he sure gets around, doesn't he?

On DD's first trip when she was 3, we went to the potty at 'Ohana. She had never experienced a self-flush toilet before, so she got a really funny look on her face when it did it's thing as she finished hers. She looked at the potty, then at me, then clapped her hands and yelled excitedly, "Mommy!! Even the POTTIES are magic at Disney World!!" I heard quite a few chuckles from outside the stall at that statement... gotta love WDW and its Magic Potties!!

Kids say the darndest things...totally off topic but I have told this story many times and most enjoy it...

I have triplet girls.....when they were 2 1/2 I bought Kentucky Fried Chicken for a treat. As parents of 4 kids we really didn't get takeout very often. When my girls heard my DH come home they all went running to see him and one of my DD's yells at the top of her lungs to him" Daddy, Daddy we are having F***y Fried Chicken!!!!

We still call it that to this day and she hates it

We were in the elevator at the Poly, preparing to go out for the day. There is this family of four that comes in. My DSis 14 (at the time) is wearing a dark sweatshirt, kahki shorts, and her hair in a ponytail with a baseball cap on.

The little boy asks my Dsis "Are you a boy?" He just straight out asks her with no hesitation at all.

It was the cutest and funniest thing in the world and we still laugh at it.

We were on the monorail to the TTC, when we overheard a boy of about 9 or 10 say to his mother, "I do too know where we're parked! We're at the ticket and constipation center!"

I couldn't even pretend not to hear, I was laughing so hard.

Off topic---sorry....I also teach and most of my kids think they've been to Disney World when it's really just a small theme park called Holiday World...

My nephew was 5 when he went to Disney World and he's been to Holiday World every summer for about 3-4 years. He thinks they are the same park! He's at my house pretty often and any time he sees me on the Disney website (planning my trip), he tells me "Make sure you ride Pilgrims Plunge. It's awesome..." I've given up trying to explain.

OMG OurOhana - that is hilarious!!

My son (5yo at the time) and I were waiting in the basement for the ToT elevator. I was pretending to be afraid while my 5yo explained what would happen and how much fun it would be (he had just gone on with DH while I baby-swapped and waited with DD). The family in front of us told us they loved our accents and wanted to know if we were from New York. I said no, Boston, to which she answered - "Oh! That's on the west coast, right?"

Seriously, are there Americans that don't know this????

is right how can someone not know where that is

This is one about my own kids, but it got quite a few people's attention and some laughs.

We were at DCA just a few weeks ago. We were at the food stand in front of TSMM, and it was a very light crowd day. DH was in line and I was standing off to the side with our identical twins DDs4. I think they were wearing their Snow White dresses that day. The animatronic interactive Mr. Potato Head noticed them and starts talking to them. I don't remember what he was saying but he was making light hearted id twin jokes. Finally they figured he was talking about them! They both turned their backs to him and had really worried looks on their faces. Finally one of them throws over her shoulder at him "WE DON'T TALK TO POTATOES!!!!"

Mr Potato Head said, "You don't, huh?" He rolled his eyes up like he was thinking and he couldn't come up with anything else so he started whistling a little tune. This smilie illustrates it perfectly:

Eventually someone else caught his attention and he continued on. When people heard the "we don't talk to potatoes" it got more than a few laughs.

Many years back I went to buy stamps (while on vacation) to send a post card back home to Maine.... When I went up to the front desk (at a hotel HERE in the U.S.) and asked her for a postcard stamp she asked where I was sending it, when I replied Maine... without missing a beat she asked "and what country is that in?"

Sad, but geography isn't given much time in schools these days. The end of grade tests don't ask that, so it isn't taught to the kids. I bet most kids could not even identify the seven continents.

Actually, I am 39 and I don't recall spending much time on it either. I teach PreK/K and am sad to say that I don't know EXACTLY where some states are, especially the ones in the middle, LOL. I know the areas, but if you gave me a blank map and asked me to fill in the names, I would probably get 1/2 right.

Even I know where Boston is, and I'm British.

People say that about Vermont too. "Isn't that in Canada?" they ask when we say we live in Vermont.

At T-REX restaurant in DTD...

Slightly intoxicated man wandering around grabs a passing server by the arm and says:

"Hey buddy!....I was just in the bathroom and saw big craposaurus!"


WTH?!?

Now that's funny!! For some reason it just caused me to have 5 minutes of hysterical laughter.

My family was heading back to POR late one night after a very full day. The bus was silent and DD and DS were sleeping. Well the music started for the resort. If you have not heard the bus music for POR, there are lots of night sounds including bugs chirping. We sat quietly for a bit then my husband says (on the silent bus and in his normal volume), "I'm so tired tonight...I wish they would just turn those quesadillas off." I just looked over at him and said, " I think you mean cicadas." He gave me this "oh crap" look because everyone heard him...and I started to laugh. I tried to keep it in but it was so hard.

I tell that story to everyone!!! And eveyone loves to give him a hard time about it. He laughs now and even suggested I post it here. But at the time he wanted to crawl under the seat.

while standing in line in MK, I was admiring a little princess who obviously had come from the BBB. I'm sure her parents had spent a fortune on her. Halfway through the line she starts melting down. Mom is trying to calm her down but she has had enough. Mom says "this is no way for a princess to act". The little girl proclaims as she is pulling at her beautifully made up hairdo " I didn't want to be a princess!! I wanted to be a stinkin pirate!" Everybody in line was cracking up laughing.

We live in Nebraska...NE for short. I can't tell you how many times I get told that stands for New England. sigh

A few years ago we got fastpasses for the Land. The fastpass machine was cranking out tickets for five minutes later. The stand-by line? over an hour. So as we are walking down the FP line some guy says very angry..."Look at those park snobs! They're cutting in line!"

I really wanted to correct him, but the DH took my arm and asked me to not have a battle of wits with the unarmed. He didn't have the energy for it.

DO you know how many times I've heard something very similar. I just shake my head. Read a park map dummy...you could use the FP too!
