When we were in DHS in April, my DNephew4 went up to one of the green toy story soldiers and said... "Hey, I got a whole bucket of you at home!!" Everyone around was just cracking up.

We overheard a discussion between a mother and her young son. She told him that if he would just be patient, in a little while they would go back to the resort and swim ALL NIGHT.

The boy's eyes were round with wonder. "ALL NIGHT?"

Mom: "Yes! All night! They don't close the pool until 9 PM, so we can swim all night!"

Boy (joyous): "WOW!"

 

[Craftsman Revival]

Bump.

Anything good from recent trips? Summer is upon us!

 

[EpicDisneyFreak]

Haha, I love it!

 

[EpicDisneyFreak]

My youngest niece....she is a trip and cracks us all up!

Upon entering MK, I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS! and she was 6 at the time......

Awwh, that's adorable! I felt like that when I first entered magic kingdom.

This thread is too funny!

My three DS and I are fans of Test Track. Years ago, (probably our first time), after we experienced the breaking sequence, my oldest son quiped: "Geez, it's like being in the car with Nana."

To this day, I'm always reminded of that comment as we go through the brake test.

 

[EpicDisneyFreak]

I'm right there with you.
I really love the 30 minute to 2 hour relationship you make with people too.

I suppose it's a major form of people watching. I like to see what these people are wearing too.

NOw I am going to think of Nana too!

We were lunching at the Biergarten last year with my folks and our 4 kids. The kids thought the food was okay and the show was mildly amusing, but hey, this was gramma and grampa's pick, not ours. DD (19 at the time) is getting a little punchy from lack of sleep and the fact that we had finished eating quite some time before. Being more than a little goofy, she grabs the little book that they put the bill in and waves it around saying, "waiter, waiter," very quietly. Much to her chagrin our cute waiter walks up in a huff and says he'll be right there. She turned shades of red that I didn't know existed.

One time, my dad and I were waiting to ride maelstram. This little boy kept poking me. I politely asked him to stop. He poked me again. I ingnored him. He poked me again and I said if you poke me again I'll tell your mom. Suprise. He poked me and I told his mom. She yelled as loud as possible screaming at him the whole ride. Btw sorry abt the typin

This wasn't in line or even at Disney, but along the line of above...My grandson, who was 5 at the time went with us to Myrtle Beach. We had rented a 7th floor condo on the ocean.

When we opened the door he ran in ahead of us took one look out the patio doors at the ocean and said..."this is the best day of my life". It was the cutest thing.

Overheard last week at MK going into the Swiss Family Treehouse:

son: "What is this?"

dad: "It's a reproduction of a house that a shipwrecked family built on a deserted island."

son: "A REAL family? Is that a true story?"

dad: "Yep, it is a true story about a REAL family that shipwrecked and built a house just like this!"


He was dead serious.

 

[GraceysGirl]

Is my family (well my wife, brother and I) the only ones who chant "we wants the red head!" along with the pirates while on the ride?

I'm a bit behind on this one but no adbsolutely not. I always say it as well usually in a normal voice but if there is a group we do.

 

[ml05ries]

DBF and I were coming out of Restaurantosaurus after some lunch and overheard:

Approx. 5 year old boy: Is the dinosaur ride scary?

Mom: No its not scary, it's just like Jurassic Park in the dark.

I HOPE she was referring to the JP ride at Universal because I remember people being EATEN in the movie haha

 

[tndislvr]

Overheard a few weeks ago while having lunch at MK. Not funny or amusing....just sad and upsetting. Father sitting next to us yelling and cursing at his maybe 6 year old daughter to keep her *&$% hands off something and that she was always putting her &*^% nose into *&%$ that wasn't her business. Really made me sad for her. He must have realized we overheard (how could we not...he was almost yelling) as when they got up to leave he tried to make a joke with us. I was not amused.

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!)

This kind of story is the reason why I come to this thread. Tears rolling down my face, laughing so hard but trying to not wake the kids up!

I love when my kids say "This is the best day of my life!"
Makes me feel so good as a parent
Like last year when we surprised my youngest, with an Elmo breakfast at
Busch Gardens in Williamsburg Va

Not in line, but my DH and I were going on Stitch's Great Escape (I think that's what it's called) and there was this boy (probably about 8 or 9) behind us that was terrified. As in, he required italics terrified. He was freaking out the entire time as his parents tried to console him and tell him it's just Stitch, this isn't anything scary, and all that. Finally the mother just gives up and tells him "Okay, now people are just laughing at you". I probably should have felt bad for the kid, but at that point we were so annoyed that my DH and I just laughed.

Last year when we were in line for Soarin' there were a couple of young (and pretty good looking) Irish guys in front of us, and a couple of very fiesty older ladies in front of them. I'd guess they had to be late 60's. They overheard the guys talking and must have fallen in love with their accents, because they started asking where they were from, how long they were there and flat out flirted with them the entire way through the line. The guys seemed pretty tickled by it and acted all upset when they didn't end up on the same row on the ride.

Somehow I'd never really thought of actively people watching in the lines before. I tend to just zone out and wander off in my own head, but this year I'm definitely going to pay attention. Hopefully I'll come back with something fun.

My son in law has really long hair and it's really curly. He keeps it in a pretty neat ponytail.

So we were all climbing around in the Honey I shrunk the kids playground. A little boy comes out of the cave where my DSinlaw was. He was wicked excited!! He said to his mother,' Wowwwww, I just saw a real LIVE guitar player'. My DSinlaw came out of the cave. The little boy is jumping up and down now, pointing to him 'see mom, it's a real LIVE guitar player'

I told the mother 'it's true, he really is a great guitar player!' We still tease him when he comes to visit. 'OMG, it's a real LIVE guitar player!'

about 10 years ago we were in wdw with my sister and her 4 year old grandaughter, patience. we had connecting rooms and she was free to pop back and forth at will. one morning she popped in while dh and i were having a smoke. as we seldom smoked it was something she was not used to. i didn't think anything about it till we were in a long line at the mk and patience looked at her grandmother and loudly anounced that 'she saw uncle bob and auntie pokin in there room this morning'. yup, her four year old self couldn't say smoking so she said pokin....i pretended i didn't know her.
people were staring and i did have to explain to my sister so she wouldn't report us to children services....

OMG!
I almost woke up the kids I laughed so hard at this!

My own son 2yo inline for something:

"Mommy I want to go to bed and play with my big woody" of course he was talking about a toy woody, but there were of course quite a few giggles around us.
He also told people he has "the biggest woody"

Im glad we weren't staying at ASMovies, he would have talked about woody all week.

This sounds sooo much like something I could see DS saying in a crowd of people! KIDS! GOTTA LOVE EM!

This is a great thread! Keep em' coming!
