Funniest/Funnest WDW Moment

A good funny moment for me was when we were at a character breakfast in '90. My little brother who is autistic and was 4 at the time was getting a upset because none of the characters had come to our table yet and then Minnie walked up. He was so excited that he started babbling complete nonsense until Minnie finally looked at us and shrugged. We told her something like "Don't ask us, just hug him" XD
My Mom not knowing that Splash Mountain dropped...

Until it did... :drevil:
How could she not know? You can't look at Splash Mountain without seeing it. Unless you had her blindfolded until you got on the ride XD

Since the entrance is to the side of SM, she wasn't really paying attention and by the time we got on the ride she thought we were just going on a dark ride similar to Pirates or Maelstrom, etc.
It was when we were going the last chain lift that she turned to me and said, "IS THIS THAT CRAZY RIDE THAT GOES STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE THORNS!!!"

And calmly replied, "Yes... yes it it, Mom." :drevil:

Don't worry she completely forgave me and told me it was fun after she dried off...

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.

As a fellow "freaking-out" kind of a mom this story gave me the church giggles. I :ROFLOL: couldn't :ROFLOL: stop :ROFLOL: laughing. :ROFLOL:

A couple of years ago my mom, dad, and I had lunch at Whispering Canyon. Now, we knew about the ride 'em cowboy yelling and screaming that goes on and tried to protect ourselves by remembering to not ask for ketchup, etc but we got pulled into the act anyway.

During this trip my dad had been having some pain in his arm, so after we ordered my dad went for a walk around the lobby to loosen it up. After a little bit, our food came and our waiter was like "hey what happened to the big guy?" We told him that he went for a walk. Our waiter, DJ, proceeded to ask what my Dad's name is. So we told him. Suddenly, DJ is up on the chair screaming across the WL lobby for all to hear. "HEY MIKE YOUR LUNCH IS READY! DONT YOU WANT YOUR LUNCH?" My Dad turned so red and my mom and I laughed so hard. I still think he hasn't forgiven us.

Another one not quite as funny. My mom and I went on ToT, one of my first times going and I was so nervous! We go up, doors open, we see the aparitions. Door close....nothing happens. Someone says in the dark "Thats not good..." Made everyone laugh.

Ah, yes, that reminds me of one of my favorite Epcot activities...

Watching innocent people drink Beverly.

SO FUN!!! :ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

I like encouraging innocent bystanders to drink the Beverly. One day in class I was trying to explain a beverage mentioned in "Lamb to the Slaughter" (wonderful short story) and I siad it's like a bitter, sugarless, carbonated beverage. One of the kids said, "You mean like the Beverly, right?" That was a great teaching moment. :)

Great stories everyone! I'd like to share a few.

Most of these are from my trip in '07. Normally I travel with my mom, dad, and little brother. But in '07 it was me, my mom, brother, cousin, and her two kids. (They had never been before).

Splash Mountain - Magic Kingdom - Evening Extra Magic Hours (around 11:30 PM)
We decided to ride it then because the line was extremely short (during the day it had been over an hour long). My mom and cousin (who are both in their 40's) are wearing shorts and t-shirts (remember this). So throughout the entire queue, both of them are whining about not wanting to get wet. So I told them to sit in front (I honestly thought thats where they should sit). When we get to the loading dock, the cast member tells them to sit in the front. Well, remember when you are on the ride, circling the main drop (very soon after the ride begins)?? When we were circling that, a log came down the drop and the extra splash that is blown to the side SOAKED them. My brother and I were in the very back (perfectly dry) laughing hysterically. Well, on all of the small drops, they were fine. So when we get to the big drop, they are freaking out. My cousin gets a death grip on my moms arm as we went down the drop. Both of them are screaming bloody murder and the rest of us are having normal reactions. (except for my counsin's son...who never had any reaction on any ride. He just had a blank face in every picture hahaha). Well anyway, needless to say, they were SOAKED. They ended up buying Spash Mountain shorts and t-shirts to change into after the ride and went commando the rest fo the night haha. It was absolutly hillarious. The picture tells the whole story.

Test Track - Epcot
This was also the '07 trip. I was siting next to my cousin (who, remember, has never been to WDW). In the briefing room, she got pretty freaked out when they added the Wall Crash Test to the list of tests. As the ride is going, she was doing pretty good through most of it. The Semi-Truck blasting its horn made her jump a little. The best of all, though, was when we rounded the corner and she saw the Crash Wall dead ahead. We take off, full speed, toward the wall. It took her asecond to realize what was going on but as soon as she did, she covered her face and was screaming bloody murder (again). Even after the wall opened and we were outside, she was still screaming until about 5 or 10 seconds later. She finally realized that we didn't crash and we were still alive. That was great.

Whispering Canyon Cafe - Wilderness Lodge
This one took place during our '05 trip (me, mom, dad, brother). We were eating dinner at WCC and the waiters were all pretty obnoxious. We had this girl from Hawaii, she was great. Well, my dad decided to give his feet a rest, so he took off his shoes under the table. When he wasn't looking, out waitress took one of his shoes and threw it across the restaurant! It was absolutly hillarious the look on his face. My dad is embaressed super-easy, so this was awesome. He told her to go get it back and she said "Nope, that's your stinky shoe. I'm not pickin' it up again. That'll teach you to keep 'em on your stinky feet". hahaha.

If I think of more, I'll post them later.

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.


Haha thats genius!

One of my favorite memories is from December of '06. DH and I took our then 4yo DD on a trip by herself (we left 1yo DS at home with Nana). We were at MVMCP and had gotten a prime seat on the sidewalk in front of the ice cream shop patiently awaiting the second parade to come through. DD had gotten the Christmas Minnie ears and wore them the entire trip. While waiting for the parade one of the CM's who was directing traffic up and down Main Street thought it would be funny to steal her ears. Well, little did he know what he had just gotten himself into. DD got up without skipping a beat and started chasing him up and down Main Street trying to catch him. This was during time in which they weren't letting people walk up and down the street, but had to stay on the sidewalk, so the street was pretty clear. After a few mins. of teasing by the CM, he decided to make it easier on her and walk up and down Main Street on his knees. As soon as he did, she tackled him and wrestled him to the ground, took her ears back and very politely said, "thank you"! Everyone starting cheering and clapping for her as the CM laid on the ground. The worst part though, while watching my DD in amazement, DH had the video camera in his hand the whole time and neither one of us thought to turn it on!

I also had a pretty creepy moment on a trip with my family as a kid. We got stuck (meanding they stopped it) on the monorail between MK and TTC in the dark, it was pitch black and the lightning was just dancing all around us. Kind of scary.

Mine happened again and again. Everytime I went to see Captain EO. Parents thought that is was a good show for the younger kids. The Kids all started screaming when the Queen would drop down on the cables...

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:




The same thing happened to me on splash mountain! It was BEAUTIFUL outside when we got on.. when we got to the top of the Mountain we could not see ANYTHING!!! it was a downpour because there was a hurricane!!! It was great.. we bought the picture you could barely see us!

A few years ago I was on Dinosaur, and we got to the part of the ride where the voice is saying, "They're not going to make it!" Well as soon as the meteor impact happens and the vehicle is supposed to be transported back, the ride shut down. We were sitting there in the dark for about two minutes. A guy in our vehicle said, "Well, I guess we didn't make it." It couldn't have been set up any better.

Hey guys! Here's some funny moments from my trip!

I think we were in the World Showcase at Epcot, and Captain Hook is out. Me & my friends wait a while, and he goes in. A few minutes later, he's back, but he's with Mr. Snee! After Mr. Snee signed my autograph book, he noticed that I had one of those water spraying bottles with a fan on it. So, he grabs it, and uses the fan on himself, and then he sprays me with it! Then after I have Captain hook sign my autograph book, he does something I didn't expect him to do: He doesn't give me my pen back! He puts it in one of his pockets without me noticing! Very sneaky!

Of course this happened on the first day, but it gets funnier!

We're eating at one of those colonial restaraunts in the Magic Kingdom, and we had a character meal type thing, and we had Pluto, Goofy, Minnie mouse, and Chip & dale! I'll tell you more about this later.

Another funny thing is that I've never eaten at a place like the 50's prime time café and I don't remember who our waitress was, but boy, she was hilarious! She had a thick New york type accent, and and when someone ordered water at one of our tables, she's like: "What am I? A well?"

During my recent trip to WDW a similar event occurred. Right as we were about to be attacked by a pterodactyl in Dinosaur the ride broke down. It was funny because the the narration said something along the lines of, "Look out! A pterodactyl!" right before it broke down. My friend and I spent the rest of the trip quoting that moment anytime we had to wait for something. It ended up being one of the most memorable moments of the trip!

The first time we went to WDW my twin boys were 7. After meeting Tigger and Pooh at DAK we hit the bathrooms. As we were finishing up and heading to the doors my son said "Tigger was really tall" and then as we were heading outside, passing people entering the bathroom, he said "And that was a really big Pooh". Naturally, we got some horrified looks. I had to sit down on a bench for a good five minutes I was laughing so hard.
