What is your funniest Disney moment?

[MarkLT1]

My phone just did one of those on-this-day "memory collages" that happen from time to time. It just so happens, that it was my oldest son's first trip to MK (he was almost 3 at the time), and the first photo, was one of him on my shoulders, posing in front of the bathrooms next to Its a Small World. Now why would we pose in front of the bathrooms? Because one of the most hilarious moments of my life had happened just an hour or so before.

It started with one of the more dreadful (to me) requests a child can make in a public space. "Daddy.. I need to go number two." Oh boy.. here we go. We had just gotten off Peter Pan, and so we headed to the bathroom. A side note to the ladies out there- there are unspoken rules in the mens room such as "no chatting", "no eye contact" and most definitely "show no weakness," thus a trip to the mens room is usually a very stoic experience. So we get into the stall (the very last stall) and finish up the way-too-long process of getting to the proper level of undressed-ness, and lining everything up into position. All smooth so far. Just then, some poor soul who must have eaten something very disagreeable, jumps into the stall next door... the audibles were... not pretty.

And being nearly 3, my son didn't quite have any filter on what he would say. "Daddy.... uggggggh... that smells sooooooo bad!!!" followed quickly by "My eyes are stinging!!!" Then "Please, ask him to stop daddy!" At this point, the mens room rules of engagement were out the window, as the poor fellow next door starts laughing quite hard.. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what belly laughing in his position will cause.. needless to say, it wasn't helping the situation in my sons mind. "Make it stop!! What is wrong with him.. MAKE IT STOP!!" At this point every person in the mens room is laughing. My son starts crying.. I am probably red as a tomato.. Thats when I start whispering (too loudly apparently) "Hurry up.... are you almost done!?!??" which just ratchets up the laughter in the mens room to a new level. As we almost run out of the stall, and my son says "Don't we need to wash our hands" my only response was "We'll use mommy's hand sanitizer."

My wife, and parents were standing outside, with very puzzled looks on their faces. They could hear some of the laughter, and said guys were coming out of the bathroom, beet red and laughing. As I am quickly walking past them, my wife says "What the heck went on in there?!?!" and I looked at her and just said "GO!!!" A few minutes later, as I'm telling the story (over by the race cars), my wife and parents are laughing so hard we had to all sit down.

So what unanticipated hilarity has happened during your time in the parks?

Your story is ickily hilarious! Ours was thanks to a very fun and funny waiter at Donald's character breakfast at AK many years ago. He joked with all of us and especially teased our early teens daughters. He tried to scare me by sneaking a toy lizard onto my shoulder, told my daughters they couldn't leave the table unless they left a note explaining why (at a buffet meal) and lots of other stuff like that. When he found out I was using a cast member discount (I worked at our local Disney Store) he took away our nice plates and glasses and brought us paper plates and cups. The funniest by far, though, involved an adjacent table of about ten Japanese visitors who didn't speak English. When their bill came they had some questions. He told them to wait a minute, came and got my about 14 year old daughter and brought her back to their table, pointed at her and said "translator". Within moments my daughter had ten people simultaneously peppering her with questions in Japanese which , of course, she didn't know a word of. We and a few other tables around us were falling out of our chairs laughing. The Japanese visitors caught on to the joke and had a good laugh, too. Everybody, including my daughter, were very good sports and enjoyed this unexpected interaction, which we will never forget.

Aye.. perhaps I should have rated this thread PG for mild potty humor .

Its always awesome when a cast member can bring laughter to your day. And good on your daughter for going along with it! My older son would have probably been mortified.. (though I would have been chuckling )

So I had prostate issues and did the Epcot beer walk, driving back to the hotel I had to pee real bad, so I was on one of those roads near the disney cabins that is pretty isolated and pulled over to pee. Just then a disney bus runs by and stops and pulls over to ask if I am lost.

I sure hope you turned, made eye contact, and said "No sir.. I am exactly where I need to be."

Hah! I think my wife had a similar experience. These days, Rafiki's Island is the one place we avoid when we're at AK.. not because there is anything wrong with it, but because the last few times we tried it, it was kiddo meltdown. Everything will be going fine, perfect, fun day in AK, and we get in that cursed train, and by the time the 3 minutes was over, there seem to be tears and whining from one, or both of our kids. I may have to try to convince my wife to go back there next time we're in AK.

My wife almost getting knocked out by the Beast at Be Our Guest. Beast enters in front of her, doesn't see her and gestures with arm.

I should have told her to lean into it and get our meal comped or extra tickets.

Oh, man, these are funny. I've told a couple of my other funniest many times, so sticking with the OP's theme, I'll talk about a restroom one. OP is correct that a men's room is no place for chit-chat, etc. but one time I was in the restroom at The Odyssey building, just at the urinal. Another guy walks in and takes the one a few down from me (men always leave a space unless there are none), and proceeds to say louder than a whisper, "Release the kraken." Okay, what? I'm just trying not to laugh and I'm sure I'm not the only one. It was pretty awkward but funny and memorable.

Some years ago we were behind a mother and a maybe 4 year old little boy on Splash. We were all yelling as we went down the mountain, then as we leveled off and floated toward the end, the little boy loudly proclaimed, "that made me fart 2 times!" I've never ridden Splash again without laughing about that.

Another potty related one was in line at Test Track. This little British girl needed to use the restroom but her mother told her they were almost to the end of the line, she could wait. And in this very proper, British accent the little girl said loudly, "but mummy, I'm DESPERATE". That phrase has been repeated more times than I can count!

 

[MarkLT1]

I'll tell one that is WDW related, but occurred far away from the parks. One of our family traditions is The People Mover at MK. Specifically, during that mid-afternoon meltdown, when the crowds are unbearable, kids are getting cranky, and Dad is Hangry.... one of us will say "I think it's time for the people mover!" and we bee-line for it. Typically no line, relaxing ride, we regroup, and usually end up laughing about stuff by the end of the ride. If anyone is still grumpy, the unwritten rule is that we go through the line again, and ride it once more (we've never been without smiles across the board after the second time hearing "Tom Morrow.. Mr. Tom Morrow..."

So about a year ago, we're out grocery shopping, and my wife and I are having a rare instance of being "The Bickersons." So she and I are bickering back and forth in the grocery store, and our youngest (~5 at the time) grabs both of our hands, pulls us down to his face level, and says: "Enough! I think it is time for you to go ride the people mover!" And then we got the giggles... off and on throughout the rest of grocery shopping.

I enjoy messing with the characters. At Chef Mickey's several years ago, I asked Donald why he wears a jacket but no pants. I said, "Weren't you banned in Sweden for looking obscene?" Donald put his hands over his tail feathers and backed away from me. Every time he passed me, he would turn and walk backwards so I couldn't see his backside. Then last year at Disneyland, I asked a Storm Trooper how he goes to the bathroom with the plastic suit on. He said, "None of the your business. Move along traveler!"

 

[cedricandsophie]

Not really funny but memorable. My then and I boyfriend went to DW for the first time back in the 70s. we went to the Poly luau and then to the MK. I had way too many Mai Tais at dinner, then a variety of junk food at the MK. We got on the tram to go back to car and I realized that I was going to barf, no way I was to hold it. We were in the back row. my boyfriend was on one side and a grandmother holding her grandson, maybe 3 or 4, on the other side. I turned to the left to try to barf over the back of the tram but ended up barfing on the woman and kid. the tram was still moving. She was horrified of course and started dabbing at him with a Kleenex as I’m saying I’m sorry over and over. The kids mother was sitting across from us and was equally horrified. I think the words...oh my God!!! were uttered a few times.
My then boyfriend completely ignores me. Literally doesn’t say a word or look at me. Mercifully our stop comes before the lady I puked on, I get off one side, apologizing the entire time as I step around her. he gets off on the other side. The tram continues on and we are looking at each other across the pavement. We both started laughing so hard! It was incredibly funny...to us, not the poor lady and kid of Course. Fortunately I felt much better.

we’ve often wandered if that poor child had a lifelong phobia about the MK because of me.

And happily it must have been a bonding moment because we have been together over 45 years and married 35 years. We tell that story often, usually after a couple drinks!

 

[MarkLT1]

Doesn't sound like that would be too funny for the mom, grandma or kiddo... but in hind sight, I would have trouble not laughing!!

And here they get to tell the story of the drunk lady that puked all over them at WDW... Everybody Wins!

I've told this one here before, but I'll share again.
We were just boarding the tram at the Studio Backlot Tour (years ago). As we were sitting and waiting, my husband noticed a young teen and his family waiting for the next tram and their turn to ride. My husband has always hated the L..O..W.. riding pants on guys and this teen was in full fashion with his shorts riding about halfway down his backside. And, of course, my husband just had to nudge me and nod his head at the kid to point out the fashion faux pas. It was at that moment that the father noticed my husband's reaction. I was just about to blush with mortification that he caught my husband mocking his kid's clothes, when the most unexpected thing happened...
the dad pantsed his teenage son right there in line in front of EVERYONE just as we were pulling out for our ride. I could NOT believe it and DH roared with laughter through the whole ride.

When we were entering Studios one day, a typical Florida storm was rolling in. Just as we were scanning our fingers, there was a HUGE crack of thunder that made everyone around us jump.... and the cast member who was helping my husband played into the moment by throwing himself into DH's arms in mock terror. Everyone around us got a good chuckle at that one.


The first time in Disney with our kids, we rode Dinosaur with our five-year-old son. None of us had ever been on it, so we weren't expecting how intense it would be. When our ride was over and we were leaving the building, my son tugged on my arm, pulled me down, and whispered in my ear, "that was so scary I almost peed my pants." Not hilarious, but definitely gave this mom a good chuckle.

 

[low-key]

WDW had a Villain supper, and they had this lady, pictured below , I had my pic taken with her, and she was kind of sexy in a demonic way, I thought I was being charming, and right before the pic, she got right in my face (maybe 2 inches away) and said "How dare you flirt with me, my husband just died last week" HUH , I hope she was just saying that to have a terrified look on my face when the pic was taken

The moment that my kids still talk about was the time we were all enjoying ice cream in Tomorrowland. We were all laughing and having a good time, my kids were then 17, 16, 14, 13, and 11. It was a no phones trip so we could spend some quality time together, it was right before our oldest headed off to college. So there we are sitting, having a good time, all of us were aware of Push slowly creeping up next to my 13 year old except for her. We are holding back laughter and she's oblivious. Suddenly Push rattled and it was right next to her. She screamed and jumped. We all burst out laughing, the people around us were laughing. She started laughing. It was just a fabulous memory.

My kids did say they wished we would have had phones out so we could have videod it but honestly I think it was so memorable because we were all in the moment.

 

[disneychrista]

My daughters decided to run up an empty Main Street USA, Disneyland on morning. They got caught and were "punished" by Disney security. Their punishment? Having to open the park.

Okay maybe it really isn't that funny. But it is a great memory.


Second place. Would be my nephew getting "lost" and having the time of his life with Pocahontas & Meeko. While we were all frantic trying to find him.

 

[fortwildernessishome]

Probably more memorable than funny, but we have laughed about it many times over the years. Back in 2004, I was at WDW with my then 11 and 8 years old sons and 11 and 6 year old little girls that were part of the family we were traveling with. We had spent the night in the Magic Kingdom for the now defunct E-ride night. We stayed in the park until the last possible second, getting on Splash Mountain a few minutes before 2:00 am.

When we exited the ride and started walking out, it was a complete ghost town. The walkway through Adventureland was blocked off and they were funneling people up to Liberty Square to Main Street. The five of us all walked along, being pretty quite as it was now almost 2:30 am and we were exhausted. My thoughts went back and fourth to how cool it was walking through a dark and empty park with absolutely NO ONE in sight to thinking it was a bit creepy.

We get up to the Hall of Presidents and the 6 year old realized that the glow stick that she had been holding had broken and she had the liquid all in her hand. I took off my back pack and grabbed my wipes. At this point all of the kids notice that while they don't have as much of the glow stick liquid on their hands as the little one, they do indeed also have it on their hands. I get out more wipes and everyone takes a moment to wash their hands. I then give everyone a squirt of hand sanitizer to finish the job, before putting everything back in my backpack. As I swing my backpack on my back, I happened to glance behind me and standing directly behind us were 3 CMs, 2 from Haunted Mansion and 1 from Splash Mountain!! I was so startled I let out a huge scream and jumped up and back, almost falling. We hadn't seen another soul since we had exited Splash Mountain and I had no idea that we had 3 people standing behind us as we cleaned our hands!!!

They all apologized profusely for startling me, said to take all of the time we needed, and explained that we were the last people out of that part of the park and they were the "sweepers" to close that part of the park.

We have visited Disney countless times since that trip and almost every time we are near the Hall of Presidents, my now grown boys will say, "remember when Mom screamed at the top of her lungs and jumped like an Olympic Athlete right here!!!" Ha, ha, good times!!

We, (DH, DD10, DS8, and I), were in WDW in 1996, right after my father had passed away. We were in Prime Time Cafe and had a great waitress. First she quizzed my DH and DS on whether they had washed there hands, and asked the color of the soap in the restroom. Then when DH didn't finish all of his potatoes (the little rounds roasted ones) at dinner he was going to be denied dessert. He tried to hide them. The waitress brought them back in an "ice cream" sundae - potatoes, whipped cream, and a cherry. Then he put them in a napkin and she caught him trying to get them in his backpack. She had him stand in the corner with the other guests saying "Shame, shame, shame". By this time I was laughing so hard I was crying and I couldn't speak. The table next to us wanted to know what he had done but I couldn't tell them. May have been emotions of the time coming out but it was a great release.
