Strangest Interactions With Other Guests?

[Lees3rwe]

oh my... wonder if it was the same mother I had! LOL

OMG... we also had a crazy mom leave her 3 kids with us at Fantasmic! She did come back, but everyone in our section was just amazed!

Setting the scene: At MK for MNSSHP. Waiting in line for POTC....Wasn't a long wait...

Behind my family in line were three...*AHEM* pirates....No big deal. It was the Halloween Party...We board the ride and they are now sitting behind us in the boat. We get stuck at the skeletons hearing 'Dead men tell no tales' OVER and OVER for 20 minutes. The first 5 everyone was like what is going on? But then: The "pirates" start RE-ENACTING scenes from the MOVIES!
Yeah, I thought it was strange, but it was thoroughly entertaining!

During our first disney trip (August 2001) my son and I were waiting for Spectromagic to begin. The lady next to us started talking to me about our trip. All was going well until she found out we were staying on site.

For the next 15 minutes this nut case kept saying "YOU'RE staying ON SITE??!!!" "WE can't afford that". She would elbow her husband and say (I mean yell) "THEY ARE STAYING ON SITE!!! You said it cost to much for us to stay on site"

As if that wasn't bad enough the loony tune asked me if I was sure I was staying at a disney resort. She even asked me where my husband was. Silly me told her I wasn't married. That set her off again.

She started elbowing her husband and yelling "She's a single mom and staying on site. We're married with no kids and can't afford to stay at disney."

Her poor husband kept trying to change the subject, but goof ball would not let it go. I'm sure if a hole had opened up in the middle of Main Street, he would have jumped into it. Or maybe pushed the crazy lady in.

The funny thing is, most likely she paid more for her off site room, than I did for my on site room.

I booked with a pin that was posted here on the DIS. We were staying at All Star Sports for only $49.00 a night.

All of these stories are hilarious. I have so many stories I dont know where to start.

I was in AK with my husband and 8yo daughter. We were ready to have lunch and decided to eat at Flame Tree BBQ. My husband went to find a table with my daughter. I went to the very long line. While reading the menu the line in front of me move a little (maybe half a feet) when suddenly I hear the men behind me tell his wife in Spanish "OMG! This b***h dont know if she is coming or going". Well I was surprise but I reacted super fast. I turned around and told him in a very clear Spanish "This b***h know 5 different language, know that she is going not coming and will ask you to call me by my first name, thanks". The man's wife was pale and the man's face was priceless. The move to another line. I was laughing. When I took the food to my husband I notice the man and his family was sitting at the table next to us. As soon as he saw me they moved far away. For me it was very funny.

Loved this one!!!

On my last trip to Disney, this past December, it was also my first time taking my then 4-year old daughter. We had a blast. Well, we were being seated for the Test Track, as you know there are three seats in a row. So this cute little boy's Mother (looked just like the son from "Jerry MacGuire" - glasses and all) asked me if I minded if her son rode in the row with us. I said "of course not" and he, for whatever reason wanted to sit next to me, and my daughter was ok with sitting on the end. So we rode the ride and throughout I tried to make him feel as comfortable as possible (he seemed a little scared). So at the end of the ride, my dd and I get off and leave the area and stop to get a snack. Then we went off to check our Mission:space. About 10 minutes later, all I hear is "Can we stop at the bathroom? I have to go" I turned around and who was walking with us? apparently the ENTIRE TIME that we left the ride!! OMG I was so scared that his mother thought we kidnapped the poor child. He said he really had to go, but I asked if he could please hold it because I had to find his mom. To which he replies, "no, she's ok. we can just meet her back the room."

I was mortified.

I took him to the bathroom and then we went back to Test Track hoping she was there waiting for us and she wasn't.... this kid was so happy that he was with us and my DD was ecstatic at the thought that she had a new "brother." Oh hell naw...

I went to the nearest CM, panicking, and explained what happened. We went to a nearby snack counter and I got him some food and stuff while he talked my ear off about how cool the kids at school will think he is that he has a black mom now... LOL.

We waited there for about an hour, while the CM did her little secret service thing over the radio and finally the mother happened to find her way there. Definitely my strangest interaction...

OMG!!!! I am sitting here next to my son who is still sleeping, trying SO HARD not to laugh out loud at this!!! My eyes are tearing up and just...OMG! WAY TOO FUNNY! I really must share this when my BF wakes up!

This is hilarious - and SCARY! What in the @#$* was that mother thinking?! How do you get off a ride and not notice for over an hour that your kid is not with you?! I would have been wondering if we were being Punked .

Was on the Safari in AK on a rather chilly December day and the mom in the family behind me kept swearing the the Nile Crocs were autoanimatronic. Told her they were real and she just would not believe that they were the real thing.

There's a very real possibility that this is my boyfriend's mother. They always go in December due to her teaching schedule and she has a tendency to get a little too wrapped up in the magic, if you know what I mean. Once while waiting for Wishes she mistook an airplane for Tinkerbell! My boyfriend says she's been involved in an interaction just like this (with her claiming the Crocs were autoanimatronic) and EVERYONE around her (my boyfriend, his brother, little children, their parents) trying to explain to her that, no, they are in fact real!

@Talking Hands: Were you there near Christmas?

You should have told the lady it only cost you $49 a night to stay at a WDW resort, sat back, and watched the fun begin.

That is GREAT! We saw a Santa look alike at our Target... the kids just happened to be all fresh and when they saw him the kind of froze, my middle son says I don't believ it is HIM> we head out the door and I kid you not there is this white cadillac type car with a custom plate that says SANTA-1!!!

my dad is the spitting image of Santa and he does 'help' him out with private parties/ events during the season. On his car (red SUV) he has a bumper sticker that reads "My other vehicle is a Sleigh" it's really cute! Kids stop him a lot and he always takes time out to talk to them.

 

[mhawk4]

During our first visit to AK and therefore our first ride on EE, dh and dd were in in a seat together and I was seated with a "stray" little girl (about 7). The minute I said hello to her, she started yapping away at me like talking might go out of style tomorrow. She told me she'd been on EE "at least 20 times!" -- always by herself because, "My parents don't like rides." She asked me if I was scared. I told her that roller coasters aren't really my thing, so I was a little nervous. She then told me that, "In my opinion, if you know what's going to happen, it won't be that scary. So I'll tell you everything as it's happening." Which she did. When we got to the Yeti, she reached out and took my hand and told me, quite seriously, "Don't worry. It's fake." When we got done, I thanked her for her "assistance" and told her that I'd enjoyed her company. She told me, "I had a great time with you too! I wish my mom would go on rides with me." I told her that if she saw us around the parks, to feel free to come up to us and she could be our "fourth" rider on any ride. What a charming girl and I felt so bad for her that she rides all of the rides by herself.

What is wrong with some parents? I bet they wouldn't leave their wallets alone like they do their own children.

When I first started to read this I thought, oh, no, they are talking about my family but then I read the girl was totally alone. My daughter can talk like talking is going out of style!

We went in December and on Christmas Day rode EE 10 times in a row. By the 11th time my husband was done and I agreed to take the two girls. I sat with one of my daughters and the other sat with a dad who's wife and son were riding behind them. Well he did not look at all happy (actually completely scared) and my DD tells him how many times she had been on it already and that she was 8 and there really was not anything to be afraid of. She told him what to be prepared for and then talked him through the entire ride so he knew what was coming next. When we got off he looked a little sick, thanked her for being his tour guide but that he was not ready to go on such a ride again. We bounced back in line for another ride!

 

[dmccarty]

I have had a few interactions over the years....

Back in the early/mid 90's I went to EPCOT. At the time, to get into or out of the Living Seas, you had to ride the "elevators." The "elevators" had two sets of doors, one set you entered and the other exited. The "elevators" had water filled tubes through which you could see air bubbles move while the floor vibrated as the "elevator" either went "up" or "down" into the Living Seas. This was all well done and you really thought you were moving on elevators.

Of course it was all fake and all it did was provided an illusion.

On the trip I was leaving the Living Seas so we had to take the "elevators" back up to the surface.

The "elevator" was packed with people and we were the last two that were able to squeeze in before the doors closed. Or so I thought. Just as the doors closed someone ran into me and pushed/hit/shoved me and my DGF HARD on my back. It was go time.

I turned around and chuckled. Looking sweet and innocent were two young, not so tall women from Japan. Somehow I knew in Japan, it is part of the culture to shove and push to get as many people as possible on the subway. I figured, what the hey, fake "elevators" are close enough to a Tokyo subway!

...
Well, by the end of the ride this poor woman was so exasperated with me she left muttering, "They're called VULTURES, not buzzards, you ignorant yank."

Almost certainly you were seeing what is commonly called a Turkey BUZZARD which is often called a Turkey Vulture. I bet she would have had a conniption if you called it a Turkey Buzzard.

Right after I started listening to the DIS Podcast we went on Safari. I SWEAR our driver was BAWB. I kept telling the DW that the driver sound JUST like the BAWB guy on the Podcast. Furthermore he looked like BAWB. Twas even odder that on our next trip,, that was either 6 or 12 months later we had the BAWB driver AGAIN on our Safari. What are the odds?

I think BAWB had a twin or a second job as a Safari driver. I figure BAWB is still out there driving. With a Dole Whip in the dash cup holder of course.

this happened to my friends mom years ago at WDW. They were eating at an outdoor CS and it was when they had squeeze bottle ketchup's. A kid walked over to there table squirted ketchup on his mom..what the . The chld never said I am sorry, nor did his parents make him apologize or apologize for him. My friends mom is not the type to raise a fuss either, so she just wiped it off.

One of our funniest moments was at 1900 park fare, the Cinderella dinner. We were seated next to a family of 4. Mom,Dad, and a DD and DS..the DD was about 5/6, the DS was about 3/4. The parents were exhausted, it was our first night so were fresh and ready. The little girls started talkng to us about Cinderella etc..the Mom was trying to get her to stop bothering us. I told her that she was fine. the little girl talked to us all night long..and kept wanting to know if I had seen the Prince yet etc..When I would go get food and come back.."Did you see Cinderella's Prince" etc... It was so funnny. She even asked Drizella that same question and Drizella answered .."Yeah, and He's no big deal!" then started to tell our table the his castle was old,run down and he didn't have much money etc etc..it was funny....

I think you should thank the "basic laborer" because without them you wouldn't have a WDW to visit.

One of our funniest things happened during early morning entry for an ADR at Crystal Palace. We are early risers so we ended up being first at the turnstiles. Eventually another family of four with two little ones came and stood behind us. As we got through the turnstiles the family of four started walking really fast to get ahead of us, heading towards the castle. They must have had a breakfast ADR at Cindy's table and wanted to be first to get there, ahead of us (which we weren't even going to). My older DS who was thirteen at the time turns to us and says I can walk faster than them (he's 6 feet tall and has very long legs) so he starts walking with fast strides next to them...the faster he walked, the faster they walked until they were jogging and dragging their little ones along. It was pretty funny to watch. My DS never looked at them, just looked straight ahead towards the castle and walked faster and faster...Eventually my son stopped turned around and we headed to the Crystal Palace...it's funny how some people HAVE to be first, even if it means dragging their kids along the pavement to do so!

Last summer, a big group of us (13 to be exact) drove down from NYC. Now all of us range from 22-29, but when it comes to disney, we may as well be 4 years old again. Our second day there, we went to HS, which is most of ours favorite park, and we were very, very excited. After riding the Rock N Rollercoaster, we were walking down Sunset Blvd, and being the very excited, talkative bunch we are, we're wishing people a magical day as we pass them. Everyone was amused by this, returning our gestures with high fives and pleasantries, except for one guy. My buddy Keith says "Have a magical day" and without the blink of an eye, the man responds with "F@#k you" and the middle finger as he continued to walk away. We didn't let this stop us, as we proceeded to get some turkey legs and and have ourselves a magical day.

 

[Kat&Dom]

We did Tower of Terror 2 years ago when my son was 3. We happened to get seated in the front row where the doors open up. My son was completely petrified and never made a sound but he gripped my shirt and the shirt of the gentleman on the other side of him. He held onto both shirts with all of his might - the poor guy's shirt was completely wrinkled from my son gripping it so hard. I apoligized over and over and the gentleman was very kind and said no problem.

I felt like the worst parent in the world though for taking him on the Tower of Terror. He was completely silent for 10 minutes after the ride then he just starting crying and hung onto to me for dear life. We have been back to Disney twice since then and he will not go near the Tower of Terror.
