Funniest/Funnest WDW Moment

[InfernalPenguin]

So me, my...*ahem* large grandmother and her two heavyset friends on the trip with us get on El Rio del...wait... Grand Fiesta Tour. I get on first to help the ladies get in the boat and siddown (they have alot of trouble doing so).

First thing that happens: my grandmother SITS on the fingers of a nice french lady behind her. They were on the backrest and she had missed her seat.

There was much flailing and yelling about, all the while my grandmother tries to get back up and OFF her fingers. She finally does, apologies were exchanged, et cetera, and I didn't hear any french curses, but I know she must've said something along the lines of "OUCH!"

I think it's over...... but it's not.


We're sitting front row. The boat starts to move, going downt that little hill thing that gets the boat off the load area.

....and I see the boat basically DIP into the water nose first. It actually brought up some water as it came back up.

...then it dipped back down. And stayed that way.The entire ride. Everybody must've noticed that the boat was doing it. And why. My grandmother and her friends almost sank the damn thing.

Most embarrassing thing I've experienced at Disney, but now I look back on it and laugh.


Actually, scratch that. That same trip she lost control of her ECV (her purse hooked onto the accelerator and it went off, the more she pulled back, the faster it went) and ran over a stroller (it was empty, thank god). THAT was bad.... but the conversation afterwards was funny, with my grandmother not picking up on the family's sarcasm. I got some too, though, since she told them I was taking care of her and they looked at me with a sly face and said "Well, you're doing a very good job...."

:ROFLOL: My grandmother did something similar! We were at the now Noodle station, but that seating area and my grandmother wasn't quite so sure about how to work the ECV and she accidently took off backwards into a bunch of chairs and the table. It was soo funny.

All these stories are cracking me up. :lol:

We were online for Big Thunder Mountain and it was over cast skies but it looked like it was nothing, well, we get on the inside platform and still it was fine out, we get on the ride and away we go, up , up , up and you know when you are just coming up through that "mountain" and you can see the sky? Well, we saw nothing but a sheet of water and I look at my husband and I say "When did they add water to this ride?" and he was just still looking straight ahead and says "they didn't" and then...... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!! We rode the entire BTM ride in a torrential downpour! The rain was just whipping us in the face, everyone was screaming, I mean it was a sheet of water coming from the sky like a hurricane!

Well, we get to the end of the ride and you know how the train goes back inside to the platform? The look on the next riders faces was absolutely PRICELESS! we were all SOAK to our underwear! :lol: We just stood up, gestured down to the puddles in the seats and said "Have a nice ride!"

The cast members were hysterical laughing as we all sloshed by them.

:lol:

haha that happened to me on the backlot tour like 2 years ago!

My husband and I were waiting for Food Rocks. There was a family with two kids that were running around. One of the boys told his mom he had to go to the bathroom really bad. Well wouldn't you know it, she continued talking to someone that was with them. He went back to her and told her again. She still ignored him. He tries a third time, she grabs his hand and goes 'let's go'...he 'high steps' it out of there while holding the seat of his pants yelling, 'TOO LATE! TOO LATE!'

I still laugh every time I tell the story! :ROFLOL:

 

[maryszhi]

here is a nothe. when we were on its a small world, our boat kept getting stuck. then when we got to the end and it got stuck, a cm on the intercom said"will the skinny girls in the back of the boat please huddle together to the right of the boat,and enjoy the rest of your voyage on its a small world

 

[hrcollectibles]

Well- it all started with a torrential downpour while we were exiting AK on a tram. Oh yeah- did I mention we forgot where we parked the car? Picture my DH and I (who incidentally both wear glasses that we couldn't see out of) trying to find our car in this downpour. We then lost each other- all the while screaming a la the scene from Brady Bunch in the Grand Canyon - Bobby? Cindy?

End of story- we eventually found the car and each other.
Moral of the story- remember where you parked. (Row and section)

Ah-ha Thats why I always take a picture of the parking row and section with both my digital camera and my cell phone

The funniest moment I've ever had happened several years ago outside of The Seas. Nemo was out, and my daughters wanted to get a picture with him. Near him, was some "coral," and with my younger daughter's back turned, the coral reached out, grabbed her hat, and hid it inside itself. Poor daughter, she turned around and had the most confused look on her face, not able to figure out where it went. She ran over to Nemo's attendent, (With the coral walking behind her *Grins*) and shouts, hands on hips, "THAT THING TOOK MY HAT!" The attendent is getting close to cracking up, and does when my daughter turned around, saw the coral RIGHT behind her. She screamed, and clutched onto the attendent. The hat came out, and the coral walked back to the wall.

*laughs* The rest of the trip, before she got into line, she'd look for "Alive Things."

Cute story but didn't Nemo and Friends open a few years ago?.. To me several is more than 5 years ...

When my daughter was about 3 or 4, we took her to Cinderella's Castle for a character breakfast. She was wiggling in her seat, with I thought, was excitement. Sleeping Beauty walked up to our table and asked if we came on a fast horse or in our carriage. My daughter just looked up at her and said, "I don't know, but do you have a ladies' room in this place, I have to go to the potty?" Sleeping Beauty did not skip a beat, answering, "Well this isn't my castle, but I believe it down those stairs over there". We were all giggling with embarrassment, but the cast member was so sweet and polite about it.
:lol:

In 2004, my sister and I took my 86 year old grandmother to WDW for her first time. She was in a wheelchair. We had been teaching her how to use a camera the whole week before in case there were some pictures that my sis and I wanted to get in together, so she could take it.
Well, so we put Gram on one side of the little bridge in Canada in WS to take our pic in front of the landscaping on the other side. She has the camera to her face (35mm camera), concentrating so hard!!! What she didn't know was that her wheelchair brakes weren't on and she was rolling straight toward us!! I tried to tell her to wait, and started to walk toward her to stop her, but she thought I thought she couldn't remember how to take the pic, and told me, "get back, I know how to do it!!" I didn't want to offend her, so I waited as long as I could for her to take it, but finally had to step out of the shot to stop her, and she never did get the shot. A CM from the Canada pavilion saw the whole ordeal and offered to take the pic for us. It was hilarious!

I've got a good one. This happened a few weeks ago. I went to DQ with a couple of friends, who had never been before, for the day and we all had a great time running amuck on those five floors of virtual fun.

We head downstairs and board the Virtual Jungle Cruise. I had never done it before and since this was their first time to DQ, neither had they.

We had no idea what to expect. So we hit the beginning, when you travel back in time, and my friend Geoff and I, being the BTTF nerds we are, comment how this reminds us of BTTF, and we start to hum the theme song.

We get farther down the river and end up taking the roughest route. As we start to fall down a waterfall, I suddenly start yelling "DOC!!! BIFF'S GOT THE BOOK!! WE'VE GOTTA GET IT BACK!!!" And throughout the rest of the ride I'm rambling on about prehistoric Hill Valley and one of the dinosaurs being Biff.

We were in the very last simulator, which is in front of the holding que for the pirates game. The entire group of people in the que couldn't help but stare at us when we exited the ride. It probably didn't help we started singing "The Power of Love" on the way out.

On top of that, during the VJC, Geoff got tossed from the raft several times since we took the roughest route and he was in the front row. :lol:

I wish I had such a funny story's.

 

[jonnyc]

My Mom not knowing that Splash Mountain dropped...

Until it did... :drevil:

"Thats right Mom, of course RnR doesnt go upside down!"

Luckily she enjoyed it


One of my families funniest moments came in the que to Sounds Dangerous. I was sitting on one of the metal bars in the outside of the que, and lost my balance, and actually went 360 degrees round the pole. Good job i was about 9 at the time and quite short lol. Its something we laugh about everytime we go to Sounds Dangerous now!

 

[jonnyc]

Oo another one i've just thought of..

We were in the closing scene of the ToT right before you get off, and it broke down into complete darkness. One of the people shouted "I'm going to kill you all!". Everyone had a good chuckle!

 

[tdonald]

One time me and my friends were on ToT and everyone was being really loud, obnoxious, and screaming at everything.
A minute or two into the ride, one of my friends (a 16-year old guy) sees the floating "E=MC2" prop and yells at the top of his lungs, "I HATE MATH!"
Then some other guy screams back at him, "THAT'S NOT MATH, IT'S SCIENCE YOU DUMB*%@!"

We laughed till it hurt and still talk about it.

Now that is a good one, a very good one. That one made me bust up actually.

The first time we visited after Splash Mountain was built, we managed to convince my mom (who hates rides that drop) to go on it. My dad told her that she would love the singing animals and the long boat ride. So she took me and my two brothers on. Every time we'd approach the small drops before the big one, she would freak out and ask us in a panicked voice if that was the big one. And we would just smile and say, "not even close." When we finally got to the last lift before the big drop, she started freaking out, and pretty much had my little brother who was barely tall enough to ride in a headlock. He was so frightened by the fact that his mom was panicking that he started bawling. In the picture we bought, my oldest brother and I are in the front row with our arms up, grinning, and my mom and youngest brother are behind us. She's plugging her nose with one hand like she's jumping into a pool and has a death grip on my sobbing 4 year old brother. It's pretty much my favorite on-ride photo of all time. My dad had a travel coffee mug made out of it that he carried to work for years.

 

[Little Green Men]

Alright, here's a funny story! We went to eat at the 50's Primetime Cafe, and we asked the waitress if she knew when we would get our milkshakes that we had ordered a while ago. Well, you know how they pretend they're like our parents, so when she back she told us that our Great grandmother's having a hard time making them because she just had knee surgery. Then my dad said to be funny, "That's no excuse"! And she starts yelling, "NO EXCUSE?! YOU LITTLE BRAT! I OUGHT TO MAKE YOU HELP IN THE KITCHEN"! We all had a good laugh!

My mother still reminds my sister and I of the day 12 years ago when we tried to kill her. That would be when we got her on Splash Mountain with us.

She brings it up at the most random times. Like when drove past a senior citizens home, she said, "Well at least I won't ever have to live there, you guys will probably kill me first, like you tried to 12 years ago in that damn log"

It makes my sister and I howl :ROFLOL:
