Games you play while in the park?

After eating breakfast this December at the CP when Penn Jillette was there, we decided to find as many 'celebrities' as we could in the parks. Everyone in our family had to agree that a person really looked like a particular celebrity then we would get a picture. Although we really saw Penn Jillette, we also 'saw' Tony Soprano, Adam Sandler, Wilford Brimley, Ed Begley Jr., the Cash Cab host, Dustin Hoffman, and Tommy Lee Jones. Getting their pictures without them knowing was the hardest part!:lookaroun

1.) Looking for hidden Mickeys

2.) While my wife and I are playing golf, who will be the first one to have a turkey come up to you while you are in the fairway addressing your ball...yes, it HAS happened..got it on video..

3.) counting kids that whine, cry or do what it takes to manipulate their parents into something

The licence plate game; at the parking lot, my family and I try to find a licence plate that comes from the farthest away from WDW while we walk to the tram. So far the record holder is Prince Edward Island.

A few years ago Old Navy came out with these tshirts that had an American Flag on them and said Old Navy. We saw LOTS of people - entire families wearing them. In fact I think we counted something like 58 in 3 days.

On the drive up to Disney, my family plays the purple sign game.

The first person to see a purple road sign wins. (Hint: From the turnpike, the first purple sign is on Osceola Parkway.)

These are awesome! It's funny to see how so many people come up with the same games. I have played variations of many of these. Here are some personal favorites:

"Look at the ducks!" - Ducks are apparently very popular in WDW. According to my statistics, 99% of the world population has never seen ducks in the wild. Therefore, they will always stop upon seeing a duck and say "Look at the ducks!" Seriously, stake out any spot (such as the seating area of Casey's Corner) and listen to how many times this statement is uttered.

A variation of this is to watch Philharmagic and listen for when another duck (in this case Donald) gets shot into the wall at the back of the theater. He makes some quacks, and then falls into the wall, at which point he says "Ah phooey!" Invariably, someone in the audience will laugh and repeat his line: "Ha ha, phooey." I've ridden Philharmagic dozens of times, and only 2 or 3 times have I failed to hear somebody nearby repeat the line (sort of a Disney version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show).

"I am a Disney World Idiot" - I've actually stopped doing this one, as it feels kind of mean, but it can be funny. Have a conversation with friends or family while standing in line, that reveals that you know absolutely nothing about Disney World. The basics are things like referring to Hollywood Studios as Universal, or deliberately getting attraction names switched. But you can venture into more fun territory by spouting off made up facts or ridiculous park rules. Inevitably, there is somebody eavesdropping who is just dying to correct you.

Bathroom Game - Disney nerd-dom at its finest. Must be played while not in the park. I give you a location, you tell me how to find the closest restrooms to that location.

Napkin race - A variation of an attraction race. Players are sent to a separate fast food restaurant to retrieve a napkin, and then must meet at a predetermined location. Whoever gets there first wins. Fun for crowded days.

The Tram Conversation - I rarely take the parking lot trams, but if you're walking, you will find that whenever a tram passes by, it is extremely loud (especially in that tunnel right before the TTC). The trick is to begin a conversation with one of your walking companions right before the tram reaches you. "So we were just checking in at our hotel, and right when we get to the counter ..." -- then the tram passes by. Continue to talk, even though your companion will not be able to hear a word. After the tram has passed, finish up your story with something completely bizarre: "... and that's how the bellboy's pants ended up in the retention pond."

On our last trip, DH and I started to count the scooters/rascals in the parks. We stopped after our second day in the parks. It was too many to count.

Spot the mom jeans.
Hilarious! Love it!

We've always joked that we should pick a family to follow around all day and try to get into the background of all of their pictures. We've never done it because it would be highly creepy, but the idea still amuses us.
Best. Thing. Ever. DH and I may have to do this.

Mullet hunting.:lookaroun
Brilliant!

We like to STOP in the middle of an extremely traffic-laden area and have a conversation with our family and make people have to walk around us and listen to the comments as they do.... Whats the hold up...they Could move out of the way....etc.
Now that's just evil!

My brother and I like to count the number of children on leashes.... :lookaroun
That's also a fun game to play too.

Sometimes as I'm walking by people I'll just exclaim some crazy statement to whoever I am walking with so it sounds like we are having a bizarre conversation.

Like this: Walking along as we pass someone I say "....so not only did the dog somehow get tangled in the ceiling fan, but Dan ate 6 pounds of cheese I was saving for the party."

It amuses me to think that for the rest of the day those people are like "What in the WORLD is going on in that guy's life..."
I do this too! At the parks or whatever. DH and I will make random Simpsons/Family Guy/etc. quotes to throw people off.

yep along with knocking on the back of doombuggies and squiriting water in the air and screaming that its blood;)

That's truly obnoxious behavior.

Fortunately you will be going to high school sometime soon and hopefully will out grow such immaturity.

In line, I play tap tap revenge 2.6 and 3 on my iPhone and a game of slaps with my sister. I also play waterslide on my iPhone. Fun stuff.
My family also sings we go on during ROE and then we try to see how many people comment on our singing.

Well that's not funny. It's kinda immature if you ask me. That's not the Disney way. water guns shouldn't even be allowed in the park.:lookaroun

For us it's Elevator Puss. Did you ever notice that when staying at one of the WDW resorts when you're getting off an elevator you get the " Elevator Puss". People actually give you a dirty look for having the audacity to be riding the elevator let alone trying to get off when they want to get on. I mean really how dare you !:ROFLOL:
