People waiting in line say the darndest things!

[tink too]

Just thought of another one - upon entering Epcot one day last April, our DD8 immediately asked to go on Spaceship Earth. It has been one of her favourites since her first visit at 13 m.o. and it was our first visit to WDW since the ride had been refurbed.

The line wasn't too long, but this guy one row behind (but standing adjacent to us) was getting extremely irritated with his family who wouldn't join him. He was motioning to his older teenage son but when that didn't work, he started yelling "Get in here! Get over here right now!" His son asked what type of ride it was - according to this dad, it was "An awesome rollercoaster -the best one at WDW!"

My DD looked at me with a puzzled expression then whispered "Mum, did they change it that much?"

 

[Softball Mom]

This wasn't over heard but...

When DD was about 7 and totally into the princesses, we went to WDW. She had breakfast with the princess, waited 2 hours to see Ariel and an hour to see Jesse. At this point, we've had enough. We were leaving the park and she grinned at us and said, "My life is now complete!" LOL It made everything so worth it.

Hubby had conspired with the CM to get Ariel to say to him, "See you at the ball tonight!" DD was just wide eyed!

On another trip, we were waiting to see Tink. We had no clue that there were other fairies. A little girl in front of us started telling us their names. Hubby then butchered their names into Silverfish and Rosacea. Now I can't say their names right.

Hubby will often say weird things in line or on a crowded bus to get reactions. On a VERY crowded bus in January he said things like "Wish I hadn't had the chili for lunch." and "Did the doctor say if that rash was contagious?" Two older ladies just stared at him and huddled closer together.

He is soooo embarrassing!

Thanks for letting me share!

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.

reminds me when we were on the magic, trying to get an elevator with DW being in a wheelchair was a nightmare, every time one arrived everbody rushed in leaving her no room to get in, after about the 4th one arrived as eveyone dived in yet again, I said dont worry we will take the stairs,

At Epcot years ago when they had flamingos near Mexico and the First aid station. DM an I were watching them. DM thought they were fake, I knew they were real. DM insisted they were robots saying "look, you can see the battery in that one's butt."

In December 09, we were in the pre-show for ToT and there was a family of 4 in front of us, 2 adults and 2 kids. So the kids we're just behind the adults and during the film, they shuffled a bit so they were next to the adults, which left myself and my party behind them. During the film, the man in the film says something along the lines of "you've just crossed over into.. the twilight zone".. well just as he says this, the man of the family in front turns his head, moves it to the music and says "the twilight zone! da da da da!" right in my face. The look on his face when he realized that I wasn't his son He went bright red and just apologized but everybody around was laughing

THAT TOTALLY MADE ME

This wasn't actually in line but at the very beginning of Fantasmic. There was a little kid sitting in front of me and when the mist started spraying, he started flailing his arms about and said "I can't get wet, I'm too famous!"

Must be that whole tea party thing...

 

[ScrapperBelle]

We were seated in the theater waiting for the Indiana Jones show when a little boy behind us started to get concerned that the show might be scary. His father was trying to console him and said, "It's not scary, but there might be some ugly things." His son replied, "Real ugly, or ugly like Grandma?" My poor DH was laughing so hard he was crying. For the rest of the trip when we saw something ugly, DH would just say, "It's not REAL ugly...it's just GRANDMA ugly."

I've had the usual run-in with well meaning yokels who are keen to spark up a conversation while you wait in queues.

'So where are you from?'
'Scotland'
'Gee, is that in Germany? You sure speak good English'
'Thank you. Where are you from?'
'Dallas,Texas'
'Gee, is that in Mexico? I don't even detect a hint of it in your accent'

Que the Texan getting really upset and trying to lecture me on US States while still thinking I'm German. Dummkopf.

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

Me too. It's the home of the Celtics, colonial cousins of my own team, Glasgow Celtic. All hail the team in green. Hail Hail.

Sarcasm is just lost on some people.

Not at Disney, but once upon a time I went to Scotland on vacation (I'm from the US). In a small town, I was at the tourist info center waiting while the nice woman working there phoned a B&B to make reservations for me. Her college friend from the city had come to visit her for the weekend and they were chatting. Anyway, in comes the stereotypical tourist, who starts asking her directions to the castle in his loud Texan accent (there was a nice map on the wall right next to him). She tries to tell him how to get there about 4 times (it was only a little ways away) but he is having none of it, not understanding anything she is saying, maybe wanting her to take them down the street to it herself, continually interupting her to ask what she already said. Eventually, she loses patience, walks out around the counter and points to the map on the wall "Look, you are here!" stabs emphatically with her finger. "The castle is here!", points to a nearby spot on the map.

The guy leaves with his family.

The worker and her friend chat a bit, and then she asks me if I thought she was being rude. I told her that I would have lost my patience with that guy long before she did. Then they said something about Americans. I said, "that guy wasn't an American, he was a Texan".

They about died laughing.

I am from South Carolina and have only just moved to Texas, but I've already been here long enough to know that this might not go over well with Texans.

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.

We weren't at Disney, but a couple friends and I were touring Chicago (and enjoying a few beers along the way). We had our maps out & kept asking people where the Statue of Liberty was. We were very good at keeping a straight face & it was quite a fun day.

(After returning from the trip, I added a picture of the Statue of Liberty from a couple years earlier to the photo album.)

This sounds like my older brother. When we go to Wal-mart he always goes up to the greeter and says "Oh no watch your head! Watch your head!!" and they always say "What? What?!" and he says "Falling Prices!"

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.

I litterally had tears rolling down my face I was laughing so hard at this....I've got a 2-year old and sometimes I just don't understand!!!!

 

[SoCal Belle]

These are great! I have bust out lol so many times today.

Best I've heard was, "I wanna see Seeping Booty!".

As for me, I don't.

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

I'm glad that you all saw the funny side of my post. Too many people have a knee-jerk reaction to fun being poked at one of their own nationals.
