Strange things guests say

[POB14]

At MK a guest to a CM:


What time does the 3 o'clock parade start?

Really???

Connears

That story is so common that Disney actually sells a T-shirt with Goofy asking that. (Saw it there this past January).

Oh, I just remembered one I heard that I thought was so funny I ended up passing it along. At the end of the ToT pre-show when it says "this elevator travels directly to the Twilight Zone," somebody yelled "the gift shop" over "the Twilight Zone," which everyone in the room laughed about, even the CM. I loved that so much that I did it the next two times I rode it, which elicited pretty much the same reactions. (The best part was the little kid who said "what's so funny?" in response to the laughter.)

OMG, I am sooooo doing this next trip.

While we were walking around world showcase, through France, a lad aged about 13 asked his dad which country was next, Dad replied, while looking at the map 'United Kingdom' the lad says 'Cool, wheres that dad? Spain? But the Dad says 'Yeah, I think so son'!!!

haha thats brilliant. Whenever I'm in walt disney world and I get asked where I'm from and I say Wales, most of the time the people asking just get a confused look on their face, so I end up saying the UK. To which they reply oh England. I think to myself no, there is more than one country in the uk.... XD.

Yeah, not unlike anywhere else in the world. When finding I'm from the US, I've had people ask me if I was from LA or NYC. I usually say, yeah, somewhere around there.

Last month my wife and I were eating breakfast on the balcony at our room at AKL. Our neighbors opened their door and what sounded like a lady with a young boy started talking. The lady then points over the railing and says, "there's a wooly mammoth... Or whatever it's called."

The animals grazing on the savannah were actually ankole cattle. We looked at each other, eyes wide, struggling to keep the laughter contained until we got back in our room with the door closed. I still struggle with the idea of a person that confuses a cow with really big horns with a big hairy elephant that has been extinct for thousands of years.

Reminds me of the scene from Bull Durham where Crash says, "It's not wooly. Nobody gets wooly. Women get weary. They don't get wooly. Nobody gets "stress." They're wearing a "dress." I hate people that get the words wrong."

I can't remember anything as funny as some of these, but the first time I rode TOT I was terrified. I hate drops. DH had described to me in detail exactly what would happen. There would be a field of stars, they would swirl together, culminating in a tiny Mickey head of light, then the doors would slide open and we would begin falling. So, we get on the ride and there are these big burly, linebacker type guys in the row right behind us. When we get to the "stars" part, I start freaking out and almost sobbing something, "Oh, heck! The stars! The stars!" Well, the big burly guys started having a laugh at my expense --and then we fell.

Cue big burly guys screaming like little girls.

I was once in the store at the exit to the Maelstrom in Norway and this man and his son (about 8-10) were trying on the viking hats. The man then grabbed one of the hats with braids (for viking women) and explained to his son that this was the hat that the strongest, most fearsome viking would wear. At that point the mother came over and tried to convince the son otherwise, but he was already eyeing the braided hat.

A few hours later I was over in France and saw the little boy walk by in one of the braided viking hats At least the mom tried....

I am telling this one to my DH. He's always looking for ways to torture our as-yet-unconceived offspring.

subscribing, this thread is great!

I'm sure I have heard and said some stupid stuff too; but I cant think of anything right now

 

[Dalpal]

Not overheard at WDW, But my DGS is really looking forward to going this summer,. He has been full of questions. As he has been concerned with how long it will take to get to WDW after we land....One of the questions he has asked is "How far away is the "Tower of Terrorists" from the Air Support?"
Too much news, on TV?...LOL

A couple of years back we were taking the ferry over to start our day at MK and overheard a fella tell his family he hadnt been here since he was a kid and couldnt wait to ride the submarines!

What is strange about thi one? Didn't 20,000 Leagues under the Sea have "submarines"?

 

[TGaines107]

I guess what was strange was his anticipation that the ride was still there and it had been gone for many years now. I would've thought that someone going to WDW would have been somewhat familiar with what was there since there are so many websites and books devoted to it. Perhaps being clueless is the perfect way to be when experiencing WDW as you see it as a child does.

A family getting on the "Tram" after leaving AK, and asking, "Are you going to the AK parking lot?"

No, we're heading to IoA.

 

[grandfloluver]

My family and I were leaving the MK, and wanted to take the boat back to the Grand Floridian. So, as the boat pulls up to the dock the boat driver got on the dock to let everyone on the boat. This guy literally runs up to the dock and says, "Is this boat going to the Yacht Club?" The boat driver replied, "No, there isn't any water connecting the Magic Kingdom and the Yacht Club. The only way is by bus."

I guess with "Yacht" in the title people automatically think water....

Our first trip to WDW which was 3 and a half years ago my DS who was 4 at the time, had to go to the bathroom. My husband took him to the bathroom in Pecos Bills. After coming out my husband and our friends who were in the bathroom came out laughing. After my son stood up the toilet flushed automatically. He then asked my husband "is everything here magical?"

We still laugh about it today!

 

[resol37]

Kids are so cute! I was in the bathroom in the UK once when a little girl in the next stall was singing, "I'm pooping, pooping, pooping, pooping, pooping, pooping". I guess her mother was in the stall on the other side of her, because I heard a voice saying, "Chloe, please hush. I'm sure the people in here don't need to hear what you're doing".

I don't think I would have been able to control my laughter at that point.
