Strange things guests say

[zuzu310]

On It's a Small World, the people in front of us admiring children around the Eiffel Tower with their French poodles: "Look at those British people!" And they were serious!!!!

 

[Verstehen]

Kinda sad, kinda funny. Overheard in line at the Columbia Harbor House, mother to small son:
"After this do you want to go on the Haunted Mansion?"
"No."
"Well too bad! We're doing EVERYTHING!"

On the Mexican boat ride, while passing by the restaurant, my mother said: "That's so weird. Why would they bring us past a video of people eating?"

My 6 y/o dd loves ToT. We rode it several times last week. On about the 4th time, while waiting for the preshow, she said "Mommy, it's funny, why do they call it the toilet zone?" When she overheard me telling DH about this later she just laughed, and my 9 y/o dd (who wont' ride it) said, hey, she told me it was the toilet zone! I can just imagine the thoughts running through her head trying to figure out why they would call a ride the Toilet Zone Tower of Terror!!!

I sometimes go with a friend who also has an AP, but she usually hangs around in Epcot. One day we decided to go to MK instead and I suggested Winnie the Pooh. She replied, "Awesome, I haven't been on that one!"

Turns out, not only hadn't she ever been on the ride, but she hadn't seen ANY of the original movies, either. I found out when we got to the Huffalumps and Woozles part and she screamed, "What the hell is this???"

Last year I went to Epcot with another friend, who was terrified of all the rides. Probably because I made her go on Test Track first Before we went on, she turned to me and said, "I haven't shaved my legs in weeks. If I die, you can't let them bury me until you shave my legs." To this day, every time she's about to go somewhere scary, she texts me, "Remember your promise."

Later in the day I had to practically drag her on Spaceship Earth and swear up and down that it didn't go fast. Turns out she'd gotten the name mixed up with Mission: Space and only knew that one ride with the word "space" in it was scary.

So we're on the ride, she's finally sure it's not scary, and about half way through says, "What is this? A ride about the history of paper?"

These were hilarious!!! You have some pretty funny friends!!!

Since I have enjoyed the other stories so much, here is mine:
Young boy (loudly) exiting ToT: That made my stomach AND my private parts feel funny!
Sadly, young boy was mine....

I could see my DS saying the same thing!!

[Rhongepooh]

I just laughed so hard i started crying

I whispered to my daughter " I SO want to ride the Haunted Mansion with this lady!"

 

[disneygal58]

On the bus to the then MGM Studios, a very nice lady with a lovely British accent pointed to the Tower of Terror and asked if it was the castle of the Magic Kingdom. Now everytime that we are on the bus and get our first glimpse of the Tower, my youngest will proclaim - Look Mum there's the castle.

 

[glaserjm]

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.

Well most Americans are missing out! I found Wales to be one of the most beautiful places during my year in the UK. I remember being on a cliff on the Pembrokeshire coast and it was so windy I could basically lean as far forward as I wanted and would not fall over. I will never forget that sensation!

As for my funniest things overheard

1) In 1989 we were walking into the Magic Kingdom and my father asked my younger brother, "Well what do you think Phil, how do you feel about coming to Disney World for the first time?" To which Phil replied, "I've been here before dad." My dad said, "No you haven't, this is the first time." To which Phil replied deadpan, "I come here all of the time with my other family." I was about 8 and didn't quite know how funny it was at the time but remember my parents just dying with laughter.

2) I'm sharing this after looking at the whole thread and seeing that there were some that included the use of (bleeped out) expletives, but it's simply too funny not to share and if the mod disagrees, it can certainly be removed.

Last year DH and I were riding IASM and a young boy of about 9 was sitting in the row in front of us with his dad. About a minute into the ride and totally out of the blue he looks at his dad and says, "Dad...what's a b**w job?" DH and I had to maintain silent laughter as the dad looked around horrified, but I had tears streaming down my face and literally saw nothing of the ride.

I am holding my side from laughing and of course the kids all want to know what's so funny

 

[Aunt Bee]

While my granddaughter was at the Alice in Wonderland tea party, I went into a gift shop to see if they had a children's tea set.

I asked the CM and she said, "well, we had some, but they were so expensive that everyone bought them." HUH??? LOL!

I think there was a thread about this a month or so ago, but I want to get it started again (it beats packing since we have to check out in a couple hours.).

While riding the resort monorail and approaching the Poly:
Guest: "This is the Animal Kingdom Lodge, animals come right up to your room."

While standing in line for a snack at DHS:
Guest: "The last time I was here it was MGM. That's before it became Disney property."

I went for the first time in 1996 for my Senior trip. It was MGM then...it irritates me when people say that..lol..I had a lady on one of the busses argue with me for the entire ride to MK that when it was MGM it was owned by Universal and Disney bought it out cause it was closer to their properties.

Waiting to watch Fantasmic in Disneyland last week, a large family was gathered right in front of us and loudly discussing everything from where they should stand to what they should eat. No one could agree on anything, and things were staying good-natured, but still getting louder by the minute.

Finally, a young boy stood up from the group and gave a pretty reasonable plan for the evening. His mom looked at him and told him "Okay, but you're like ninth on the decision-making list...so be quiet."

 

[chell]

We overheard a group on their way to Ep-A-Cot. We've also heard it called Epi-Cot.

Hubby & I both giggled and we now talk about going to Ep-A-Cot or Epi-Cot.

I've overheard so many things and now I can't remember any. UGH!

This wasn't in a park, but st the Orlando airport this past Monday. There was a family in the gate area, and he mother had gone to the restroom when an announcement was made that everyone should have their ID's out when boarding. When she came back the husband told her to get her ID out. When she asked why his response was this; "it doesn't matter why, I told you to do it and you will obey me." I though he was joking at first, but she didn't say anything and just got her ID out.

 

[DisneyTravelers2008]

I go to WDW several times a year, so have quite a few of them:


5. While on a solo trip, I got stuck riding Space Mountain with a twenty something y/o couple. For some reason the woman was terrified and did not want to go on. Once the ride started she yelled in my ear throughout the entire ride, "Walt Disney won't hurt me, Walt Disney won't hurt me, Walt Disney won't hurt me". As we were getting off, she just started hitting her boyfriend/husband and yelled "I'm going to sue Walt Disney and you too. I could have had a heart attack and no it was not fun".

That is hillarious!!!

 

[declansdad]

Two from EPCOT last week:

First in World Showcase, Overheard two women walking by as they headed in the from JApan towards Mexico - " We need to go through Egypt to get out."

Second on path between WS and Future World -

Husband: "Where are we going now?"

Wife: "Back where we were."

I am sitting here with tears running down my face as well. I am sure I would have completely lost it if I would have been there.

A boy about 10 or so coming out of the men's room with Dad in Epcot...

Loudly ~ "Dad, what's a tampon?"

"Something you don't need to know about yet, son."

He kept asking while walking over to Mom, who was once she heard the question.

Dad said, "For some reason, they have those in the men's room and he saw them."
