People waiting in line say the darndest things!

[TillyDe]

Well, after reading all 31 pages, I know now that there is one more thing to pack for my June trip.

A small note pad to write down anything funny I hear. You see, the memory is not what it used to be.

Thanks for all the laughs.

I love this thread!

This falls into the category of "I saw the darndest things"...

On our graduation (from law school) trip in 2000 we were eating like kings (we had the meal plan), and I was having ice cream with almost every meal, along with chocolate milk at breakfast. By day 3 I was getting some pretty bad "effects" from the high dairy intake (I found out about a week later, after going to the dr. that I am lactose intolerant). We were in a packed line at ITTBAG, pretty close to the doors, when I just had to let out some gas... It was bad... There were a couple of older ladys behind me and they loudly started complaining about the smell and the rudeness of the person who would do such a thing, so I turned to them and pointed at the guy stood in front of me and said to them "I know, he's disgusting" and turned back around, they bought it.

My wife seeing this nearly wet her pants she was laughing so hard.

Not so much a comment as an experience:

A family of 4 are waiting in line for Big Thunder Mountain. DS 6 is very content to be riding while his older brother is throwing a fit...and I mean a fit! He is crying and saying that he doesn't want to ride over and over again. DM and DD kept telling the DS that he will LOVE it and they want him to ride it! People are looking at them and even a CM asks the DM if the boy is okay...to which she responds, "Oh, he's just fine." What mean parents!!!!

OH YEAH......THAT WAS MY FAMILY!!!

Yep, he rode it.....Yep, he LOVED IT!!! We rode it a total of 5 times that day!!!

Yes, I wanted to comment on this. One year my, now 9, was then 4 or 5, year old son cried all the way through the POC line. He had already ridden SM, SpM, and BTMRR, so I knew this was nothing, but he had been unnerved by "scewy skewetin." We pulled him through the line crying, and when he got off his comment was "Mom, that was a BABY ride!"

Last year I was carrying my then 21 month old daughter off HM. She was crying and yelling "NO!" A man, a stranger, felt it necessary to lecture me on how I shouldn't have taken such a little baby on HM, that it was too scary for her. I very nicely explained that she was crying because she didn't want to get OFF the ride and leaver "her" ghost behind!

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.

I LOVE this response. There's nothing you could possibly do to a Texan to insult him more than calling him a Mexican! But, with his response to you it was near perfect. (Texans, in my experience, are universally in love with Texas. Yes, most Americans are partial to their home town/state, but Texans take it to the top level.)

Similar experience...we were swimming in the pool and a dad kept picking his son up and tossing him around in the pool...his other son was laughing and then says to his mum, in a sweet British accent..."Look mummy, daddy's chucking Sam!" I thought our kids were going to bust a gut, as were we...those kids were so cute. My niece is 19 and she still says this and laughs, years later.

Yep, chucking in the UK means throwing- e.g. 'chuck over my bag please'.

Our first trip to Disney World was when my DD was 4 (she's 9 now). She was something of a precocious pre-schooler and provided us with 2 moments of hilarity on that trip.

1. The first attraction we did when we got to the parks on the first day was go see Turtle Talk with Crush. During the question portion, DD raises her hand and says "Where do baby turtles come from?" Every adult in the theater started giggling, and Crush said "Who does this child belong to?" When I raised an embarrassed hand, he said "My condolences". After the show, DD said with outrage, "Crush did not answer my question Mommy. And why was everyone laughing?"

Oh that is classic!! Just the time to ask that question!

I am so enjoying all of these! My story is many years back when my DS was 7 years old. The day before we had been to MK POTC. Oh how he loved the pirates!!-- the hairly legged guy sitting on the bridge, the dog, the ships battling and the pirates ransacking the village auctioning off the ladies....... Day two we are in what was MGM Studios watching the Voyage of the Little Mermaid. The doors close, the lights dim...the ceiling glistens as if underwater and out comes Ariel sitting on that rock singing her pretty song. All of a sudden, my son pops out of his seat and yells very loudly "We wants the red head!!!" The audience erupted and all these dads in seats surrounding us gave him a high five! Priceless.

That is fantastic! You have a comedian on your hands!

Mine was waiting in line to meet the characters in Epcot. Why does Goofy talk and not Pluto? You know before this I never thought about it. Anyone know the answer? Just curious.

We were at the TTC and this 30ishtough looking man (greasy with tatoos & muscle shirt) and his tough looking girlfriend were trying to skip the lines and move ahead of people. My DH was ready to say something, but I said something like 'don't...they are a little crazy down here- you know drive by's and stuff, so my DH stopped and we waited to see what would happen. A CM also saw this and sent the man back into line. Then this guy tries again to cut into line to take the tram back to the cars. A different CM moved him back. My DH and I are thinking 'this guys an idiot.' Well we finally all get the tram and as well pull up to the parking lot we see this supped up Hummer with all of the bells and whistles. The two toughies get off and I say to my DH "see honey? even drug dealers go to Disney" People all around us breathed a huge sigh of relief and started laughing.

Huh...you learn new things every day! I never knew he was called Igor in Spanish!

I'm guessing the reason the original poster found it so funny is that (at least in the US and Britain), Igor is the name of weird little hunchback sidekick of Dr. Frankenstein! Horror and Disney just don't go together!

Oh, Do not worry!! I understood perfectly which "Igor" the OP was thinking about . And, if you think it through, Eeyore in the CP seems to be a little stooped, almost as if he had a (small) hunch...

I'm afraid I won't ever see him the same way


Regards,

Luis

Sitting in the stands waiting for Fantasmic!, there was a British family in front of us (we're American). Out of nowhere a little of about 8 or 9 turns to Mrs. Homie and says, in a THICK Cockney accent: " 'ave you 'ad youh tea?" Mrs. Homie said, "Excuse me?" said again, " 'have you 'ad youh tea?" Mrs. Homie, as politely and sheepishly as could be, said "I'm sorry. I don't understand what you're saying." The little girl's mum (see what I did there?) turned and said, "She's asking if you've had your supper, love." To this day, every now and then either Mrs. Homie or I will walk past the other and say " 'have you 'ad youh tea?"

I think it's because Pluto is a pet. Pets don't talk do they? The mice in Cinderella talk but the pets (Lucifer & Bruno) don't. Jimminy cricket does but the fish in the bowl (Cleo) doesn't. Unless the pet is a character (think Lady and the Tramp). That's my best guess. Makes you wonder though... we wonder why a dog doesn't talk but have no problem with mice, fish, statues, etc...

 

[irisbud]

These are so funny!

I have two:

DH and I were looking at the Komodo Dragon on display in the Maharajah Jungle Trek at AK. A family walked up to look too. After a moment, the CM standing nearby started talking about Komodos. The dad interrupted and asked "Are they extinct?"

The other involved my Dad, who hates to get wet on any ride. We went on LWTL, and as we went through the first part where the rainstorm is, he saw the water "raining" down by the wall and YELLED "Get the Ponchos!!!" and started digging through my bag for them. Yes, he was serious...

[Shmily01]

Not sure what line we were in but the conversation between my DS and DD had everyone laughing.....

DD: Is the devil mean, Daddy? (she in that ?? phase of life)
DH: Yes, sweetie, he is mean.
DD: Well, what does he do?
DS: He turns people into monsters.....that's what happened to Mommy.

I was laughing too hard to be mad.

As someone else said, yep it's cause he's a pet. I know it's not a great explanation, and we do get asked from time to time but as I understand it, goofy is like Clarabelle, Horace, Mickey, etc but Pluto is Mickey's dog...so he's more like Dinah, etc. And yep L&T talk but only to each other or other animals. Goofy is more in the 'human' branch, like Mickey. But hey, you could also ask why Goofy walks on two legs and pluto doesn't.

Sorry, my brain has gone blond for a moment. LWTL??
