Whilst staying at POFQ,my son,who was seven,was swimming in the big pool with another kid around the same age,his parents were from Mid West,there mother said to me, "your kids a great swimmer,where are you guys from" so I said " Scotland and yes he is a good swimmer thanks to his mum,I can't swim. Well she looked me straight in the eye,and said, " what the! You live on an island and you can't swim." I had to go to my room and change my pants.:lol:

You made my day! :ROFLOL:

While in the MK waiting for Wishes to start. I heard a husband explain to his wife that it must of taken the brickmasons months to set all the stones in the castle.

"The monorail splits in half at the Magic Kingdom station. One part goes to the Contemporary and the other half goes back to the Grand Floridian".

When I first went to Disney...I was terrified of every ride. Even Peter Pan's flight. The only ride I wasn't afraid of was Spaceshi[ Earth - probably part of the reason this is now my favorite ride.

Anyway - I was looking on the map for DHS (MGM at that time) and we had just gotten off the Backlot Tour (which I thought was so much fun) and I go "Catastrophe Canyon! I am so NOT riding that!" To which my dad said "You just got off of it and loved it." ....Oh.:lookaroun hahaha

This past November while staying at the Wilderness Lodge we were boarding the boat to go to the Magic Kingdom. There are 2 boats so my sister wanted to make sure we were getting on the right one. There were maybe 6-7 other people already on the boat when my sister went to get on and said "Is this the Magic Kingdom?" The captain of the boat looked at her and said "No, this is a boat. The Magic Kingdom is over there!" We nearly died laughing and so did the other people on the boat. She's been to WDW like 24 times so she knows where the MK is. Her question really was whether this boat went to the MK or not but she didn't phrase it quite right lol

In 1999, I was riding splash mountain with my father-in-law at the time, and my son who was 6. He's loving the ride, then sees the vultures, and the start of the hill climb. We get to the top, he looks at me sadly, and then turns to his grandfather and goes.. "Goodbye Grandpa.. I'm going to miss you !!!" :lol:

During my CP in 2009 prior to the monorail accident, a family of 4 was sitting in the cab with me on the way back from Epcot. If you recall there are a few winding turns before you run parallel to World Drive. The father asked me:

"Are you steering this or is the track guiding the train?"

At Wishes this past February:

A woman yelling on her cell phone just before Wishes, the lights are out and every person in the park is in front of the Castle.

Woman: Did you get off Space Mountain? Okay, I'm in front of the Castle. No...the Castle. In front! How can you not see me! I'm in front of the Castle!!

It's dark...there are no lights....its crowded. I just shook my head and facepalmed the idiocy. The announcements tell you NOT to move until the lights come back. It was so derpy.

At turtle talk with Crush, when he pulls out the bra, a little boy yells out "Hey, it's a boobytrap!" lol!!

As being a cast member myself, I've heard some funny things.

Some of the things guests would ask are

1. Where is the exit to the park?
Me: um, how did you get IN the park? (not that I would ever say this)

2. People at Epcot (where I work)..How do we get to Disney World? (meaning the Magic Kingdom...Me: um, do you know where you are right now?

3. And, the most infamous that is already listed..when is the 3:00 parade?

There are more but im brain freezing right now..wish I could think because I have heard some really good ones.:lol:

Apropos of Nothing

I saw this thread and had to laugh because I just posted five of these on my blog based upon our Christmas trip....I laughed like crazy at these....

1) ”They should have a daycare here”……(huh?) In Animal Kingdom by a woman holding the end of a child “leash”. Says all that needs to be said.:shrug:

2) “I am not afraid of hobos”-on the monorail from Contemporary said by a five year old climbing on anything that would stand still.

3) “You need to move your wallet into your front pocket….Disney has alot of pickpockets”-on monorail at 7:15am Christmas morning. Jaded much?:hammer:

4) “Strollers are not weapons”-said by me to the 1000th person aiming directly at me with their kid in eyestruck horror that they were being thrust into a crowd so their parents could get wherever they were headed faster than the rest of us.

5) “Look at how pretty all the worlds look”-by a woman on the backside of Epcot looking at at the countries at sunset over the lake. Now this may be a bit picky but for God sakes know that these are other COUNTRIES in the world and not worlds. It just makes you sound stupid. :veryconfu

Happy 2012 all!

There has been a few but can't really think of any just now. However, here is a classic from last year:

"Illuminations Reflections of Earth, presented by Sylvania"
"How come we never saw that country today?"
"Dunno son, must have missed it, we'll see it next time"

On a similar note, the amount of times that I've heard people try and identify what countries the mickey mouse flag pins are and get them very wrong is unreal.

 

[invader]

I don't know, maybe it's just me because I know every country but... while in front of the Norway pavilion I heard about a thirty year old man go "I think this is Finland" I just facepalmed.

I used to work at Casey's Corner (the hot dog place at the end of main street) and this lady came in and asked where the castle was (as I'm staring at it right behind her).

We were in line for GMR once, and there was a group of women (mid-40's) right in front of us. One of them said to another:
"They are calling for thunderstorms tomorrow. Should we go to Epcot and save Disneyland for Friday when the weather will be nicer?"
(I'm assuming she meant MK).

We were in line to check-out at DTD's Once Upon A Toy Store back last Jan. This was a week when WDW was packed with Brazillian tour groups. The couple in front of us had also noticed the heavy numbers of tour groups at DTD that night.
Woman: "I'm surprised how many kids there are this close to winter holidays."
Man: "Maybe they have a different school schedule than us. I'd ask someone, but I do not speak Mexican."

When my son was 6 we went on BTMR with my mom sitting in the seat behind us. She was talking to him as we left the station, as soon as we got to the top of the first climb my son turn around and told my mom that she " better keep her mouth shut or her false teeth were gonna fly out"!

While sitting in Carousel of Progress last year a lady with a baby got up and stood in the back of the theater. The CM made the announcement to please remain seated while the ride was in motion. She didn't return to her seat. After watching the SAME scene a third time in a row the CM ( who sounded exactly like Napoleon Dynamite) was really aggitated and yelled into the loud speaker "if your butt's not in a seat you're doing something wrong!" Needless to say DH and I rolled! :ROFLOL: That is now a household phrase!

 

[Hobnail Boot]

My personal favorite happened last summer when we were walking up to Space Mountain:
"Look, it's only a 90 minute wait. That's almost an hour!"

 

[PirateAngel]

I remember one night waiting to see Fantasmic, we were sitting down somewhere towards the middle. Now most of you here know how big it is in the theater and how crowded it is. People sitting, standing, yelling everywhere before the show starts….well while we were sitting there admiring the chaos, a lady in front of us stands up, cell phone to her ear, looking around and says, “we’re in the middle section, I’m standing up”. I felt like saying here’s your sign….

 

[TropicalFig8]

I remember when I was in line for Spaceship Earth with my friend,a family was in front of us and the husband said to his wife,
"So there's a ride in the castle? This isn't a castle.." :lol:

It made me laugh so much.
