Wierdest thing you've seen at WDW or on vacation???

[lilpixie]

Just wondered -- what is the wierdest thing you have witnessed at WDW? I grew up there (in FL) and saw some doozies! I was actually laughing with my DH when I was telling him some stories from my childhood! I haven't been to WDW in years, but we are planning a trip.
Any funny incidences out there??

My daughter and I still laugh about this. When we were in Epcot in February, we were passing a crowd outside of Imagination. This was outside of the leapfrog water pad things. A boy was slowly walking while his father was tugging his hand to go on to see the next thhing. THe boy said "hey dad check it out, jumping water!" the father didn't even look, just kept on pushing through the crowd and said (and I quote word for word) "It's nothing special, it's just dancing water." Whenever we see anything wierd or unusual now, we say that to each other. I still can't believe it, the dad didn't even miss a step or take a moment to enjoy the dancing water with his son who clearly loved it.

lolol, as if you see dancing water everyday.

This isn't funny, but it's definitely weird. We stayed in WL in 2002, and next door to us through the paper-thin walls we heard a couple screaming at each other. It was really disturbing for a WDW vacation. It wasn't a typical spouse spat. This sounded like a pre-separation or divorce type of argument. It really cast a pall over that evening. It's just so weird to think someone would spend all that money to come on a WDW vacation and have a fight like that.

I have found that the wierdest thing I have run into at DW is tons and tons of PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't they know how much money I have spent to have the parks all to myself?

One of the wierdest things we have come acroos was at the AK. A family of a mother, father, 2 small kids (3 & 5), and their grandmother were in front of us on KS. The father was talking to his children about the animals and how we have to watch they don't come to close to the vehicle. With out skipping a beat the grandmother chimes in "You don't think Disney would let one of there "ROBOTS" come to close do you. Why they'd loose hundreds of thousands if they destroyed one of there robots. Not to mention the illusion of it all. It is really amazing how they make them so life like isn't it" When her son told her they were real animals the mother just politily said "I know I know don't ruin it for the kids and I suppose next your going to tell me that Mickey Mouse is real too!!!"
Dh and I still laugh over this one. This woman really believed that the animals were not real.

This was both weird and scary. Staying at a non-wdw hotel w/shuttle service to the parks, it was sometimes confusing to find our bus out in the big parking lots. One night a driver was calling out something that sounded like "Anthony" so we thought it might be a private bus for the Anthony family. Turns out his accent/english was so bad...he was actually trying to say Hampton Inn. So we get on the bus with people from several other hotels. The bus had very bad shocks or something b/c every time we took a corner it felt like it was going to tip over. A family had been loudy commenting (insulting) the drivers accent before and now was shouting comments like "man, this guy can't f****ing drive!" I could see the driver was getting very annoyed, the comments from this rude group kept going with lots of swearing and insults. I was now getting afraid of a potential fist-fight. At one point the rude group starts shouting " This (insert many swears) guy is taking us back to the airport" (when we were going to Kissimmee) and now lots of people on the bus are getting riled up. The main rude guy had been yelling about the Seralago (our hotel too) I finally spoke up and said "Look, the Seralago is over there on the left....I've been staying here for 3 yrs, its right there on the other side of "Olde Town", we are not going back to Orlando"
The last 20 minutes of this horrific stressfull ride, I had been ready to dive across the aisle and push my 2 kids under the seats if an actual fight did break out. I was devastated that anyone on a bus from WDW ....a bus with kids & families, would be so rude, crude and insulting. By the time we got back to our hotel, my stomach was in knots (I get very afraid of fights) my kids were both a wreck emotionaly and my mom wasn't much better. Needless to say this has pushed us to spend a few more dollars next yr and put us in a WDW resort.
Sorry this was long but it was very scary night.

The weirdest thing I think I have seen is in line for spaceship earth a group of about 4 ladies and 5 men, the women all had on short shorts with bikin tops and high heeled shoes ( how they walked in that all day, I would love to know ) and the men had spandex ( do they still make these ) shorts with nice shirts. Well that to us was pretty weird. But what was even weirder was my dh feeling the need to take a picture of them I mean we have seen worse at Myrtle Beach but at WDW was just Weird.

We were there last October and this particular day was about 90 degrees and humid. We saw a couple both wearing black jeans and sweaters! Sweaters!!!!! And she was in heels. Talk about unprepared.

Not necessarily weird but we found it amusing-->
DH, DBIL, and I went to the Mother's Day brunch this past May (DMIL and DFIL were to go too but MIL got sick) as we are sitting waiting for our table to be ready we see this sweet looking little old lady. Really just the cutest little gramma you've ever seen. Next to her is her son or grandson (I assume) who is all "rocked out". He's wearing black jeans with metal chains on them, has long dyed black hair, and is wearing a balck t-shirt with white letters that says "333....only half evil". It really was funny to see! I guess the non-evil half was taking gramma/mom to brunch. It was sweet

That Disney technology sure is amazing! They can make animals that pee, poop and, um, make baby animals, right in front of you!

hahaha.....sounds like my trip report from our April/May vacation....only we saw quite a few guys in speedo's, so that alone trumps your spandex sighting, lol.

SPEEDO'S ON MEN!!!!! You win hands down. Gross!!!! Unless a man is swimming in the Olympics (swim racing - you know what I mean), the only men that wear Speedo's are the ones that would stoop to putting a pair of socks in them.

Now THAT is funny.........this will require a shamless bump of my trip report thread, as my speedo-friend that I saw looked like an AK gorilla.

I've never really got the speedo thing. It just seems really weird to me why anyone would want to wear one. Do guys think they are going to attract women in them or something? Yeah and at WDW super weird. Maybe it was gay week. That would make more sense, but just regular old WDW time? Seems a little freakish.

It wasn't gay week FOR SURE (I trip plan AROUND that one). Nope this dude was just hairy, fat, and utterly unaware of how he looked. And if you notice, there are like 2 sizes of speedo's-----embarrassing small, and disgustingly small. He had disgustingly small one's on.

The 12 year-old kid in the stroller! I know we have a childhood obesity problem, but a kid taller than me in a stroller? Come on people, there's a reason why the lines were mainsteamed and it ain't the ADA!


Hey Boxer, can I get a link describing the gorilla in the speedo?

This is the picture that got away...
DW loves to shop; at one shop in DTD, she found a Mickey Mouse bra and panty set.

Two days later, we are walking down Main Street and passed a young couple.
Guess what the lady was wearing... Mickey bra, Mickey panties, and sandals- NOTHING ELSE!

I almost fell over. It made my day, though .
