My friend had been desperate for a Mickey head topper for her new car, I had scoured the World for a perfect one, so one day in Epcot I was overjoyed to find a Scottish MM topper. Now I have quite a strong Scottish accent and when the CM asked if I'd like anything else I declined, then after she studied the topper she exclaimed 'Oh wow your from Sweden!' I replied, 'Em no, Scotland' She looked mortified.
Never been so gobsmacked in my life.

When I was at MK last August, I passed a boy and his dad standing on the backside of the castle.

Boy: Daaad! The silly putty is all over my pocket!!
Dad: I told you not to bring that crap here!

Idk why but I just DIED laughing it was so funny the way they said it!

One I heard 2 week ago when I got on Dinosaur at AK.

Dad (to son): This is the ride where we go to space!!
Me (laughing to my brother and yelling): WOOOOO SPACE MOUNTAIN I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!

Also someone on here posted about some family complaining about Test Track not giving them helmets and things- so everytime we rode test track (about 4 times) or walked past it my brother and I would say "What! They want us to crash a car and they won't give us helmets or nothing??!!?!?!" We got some great stares!

"If these people knew how much money we had, they'd certainly treat us better."

This one was 12 years ago and I still remember it.

omg! What does that teach the child???

Mine is from when my 2 daughters (17 and 19) and I were standing in line to meet Mickey Mouse for the first time ever at Disneyland - there was a grandmother in line behind us who kepts tsk-tsk-ing and making exasperated sighing sounds - she kept muttering under her breath about what stupid idiots we were making of ourselves and what kind of people do they let in the parks? I turned to her and asked if she and her granddaughter would like to go ahead of us in line - she answered that no, they wouldn't and I responded that isn't it wonderful that all of us get to share in the magic that is Disney? I told her we had driven 33 hours from Canada for our first trip to Disney and that this moment was very special to us. She basically almost died from embarrassment, I think but I just continued to talk to her - I just killed her with kindness! Mean of me, i know....

Once while walking through DHS I overheard a man tell his kids they should go look for the Hollywood Haunted Hotel.

This is how i referred to the Tower of Terror to my kids. ToT is just such an ominous name, but HHH made it seem like the DHS version of Haunted Mansion... which it kind of is...

 

[bdoyledimou]

While on ToT, I was seated by center aisle, when a mom on the other side of the aisle reached across the aisle gripping her fingers into my arm. She asked repeatedly in a nervous, panicked sort of way ..."Is it over, is it over, is it almost over? ....My little boy don't like it?"

We went on ToT with my Mom who was 57 at the time. She suffered from anxiety since she was a teenager, and had never gone on any rides until a few years ago when shedecided she was going to "take control" and go on EVERY RIDE in the park.

She was sitting in the back row to ease some of the tension and when we dropped, she grabbed the arm of the man (stranger) beside her and wouldn't let go!!

When the ride was over she apologized to him and he laughed and said "No apologies needed ma'am.. but does this mean we are married now?!?!"

So funny!!! And isn't it great how nice and understanding some people can be?

A thread about tacos on the dining board reminded me of this one...

At the CS restaurant in Mexico there was a British family near us. The father ordered quesadillas for the two sons. One son asked what it was and the father replied, "It's like a pancake, but with cheese".

Older DD looked at us like this and said, "That's not a very appetizing description of a quesadilla". The two boys looked quite skeptical when they got to their table and started examining the food.

OT, kinda, but my friends in England say our pancakes are completely different from their pancakes - but what your daughter said is true! It's not a very appetizing description of a quesadilla .

Heard last Thursday standing outside of ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios

I man looks up at the ABC Commissary CS restaurant.. and says
"Hay I heard of that Place its the ESPN field sports complex"

Hubby and I look at each other and start LOLING@ ....

The guy was totally Oblivious.

: )

 

[Craftsman Revival]

Hubby and I were riding ToT at DCA. There was the usual shrieking during the ride, but after the normal amount of screams died down, we still heard a high pitched noise continue.

As the lights come up and everyone stands to exit the ride, we realize the entire crowd is being held up because there is a little girl, about age 6 (the source of the high-pitched noise), blocking the exit row. She is upset (and furious) and shrieking/crying at the top of her lungs.

Her parents / family are asking her questions, pat her shoulder, trying to calm her down. Becuase she is blocking the entire group from exiting the ride, she also has a captive audience. She is facing the whole room, with her parents/family in front.

She says, "You...(sniff) ... You..." And then quietly, accusingly, she says"I was never laughing." And then, again louder to the sheepish parents: "I was NEVER laughing!"

Poor girl. I wonder what they told her about ToT to convince her to ride it?

We waited until we were off the ride and then were just rolling. That was our catch-phrase the entire rest of the trip.

It was obviously the first time she'd discovered adults don't always tell the truth and you could just see the feeling of betrayal on her face. (Wait until she finds out about Santa Clause!)

I had a guy ask if he could bum a smoke from me when I was passing a DSA at Pop a couple of years ago, my teenage daughter had to walk away she was laughing that much
I don't think he understood why, and I was too embarrassed to explain that to bum something over here means something completely different too

While in a DSA, I had a guy gestured to me and DH and ask if he could "bum a (it won't let me put the word but it starts with F and rhymes with lag)" and having been to Ireland I knew exactly what he meant. My DH on the other hand was a little shocked because he thought he said "that bum's a ***." He was all insulted.

They are. They are more like crepes. They are thin and about the size of a dinner plate, where as 'American style' are small and fluffier.

Oh dear! That does sound wrong! 'To bum' in the UK usually means borrow or ask you for in a pleading sort of way. The other word means cigarette, we never really use that word as a term of offence in the UK.

opps double post!

What about Santa Claus?

Seriously?

Ok,

My DW and I during our first trip to WDW in the early 90's. Husband and wife with young children in the July heat. Children get cranky, wife looks to husband for support. Husband makes Solomon like ruling and stands proud. WRONG!!!!! Wife looks at husband and says, "You are soooooooooooooooooo STUPID." Wife storms off while husband stands looking dejected as the born looser. To this day, my wife and I will look each other in the face while in an amusement park and say, "You are sooooooooooooo STUPID."

May 2009.

Counter service at Pecos Bill's. DW placing order while DS and I hit the fixins bar. DS and I wait for DW at table. DW arrives with food. DS, who has never been hit or spanked in his life, looks at dear wife and says, "Mom, a lady slapped her son several time for not listening and the little boy fell to the floor crying covering his head. DW, "then what?" DS says, "His Mom then started hitting him and telling him to get off the floor."

All time favorite...................

Hershey Park.................

Husband entering the park with wife pushing a stroller with a cranky young daughter in it. The daughter is not having a good day. After pushing the stroller about 20 yards with the daughter crying, the wife looks over to the husband and says, "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, will you just spank her now and get it over with!!!!"

Really, you can't make this stuff up.

OK, I've told this one on here before, but I'm telling it again. It still cracks my husband and I up whenever we remember it. We were waiting in line for HM on a chilly December day, and we overheard a man complaining to his wife: "It's so cold! I didn't know it was going to be cold. Why didn't you bring my jacket? Why didn't you tell me it was going to be cold??"

Meanwhile, she and their two sons were dressed warmly and seemed perfectly comfortable, except for embarrassment at their whiny husband/dad.

---sounds like you were sitting by me and DH......we had this EXACT conversation!!!
