at Epcot mom to 10 year old daughter as she hands her the camera "Honey take a picture of me with my beer"
Sad but we got the feeling she was drinking around the world and the poor kid was her personal photographer

No lie, this happened to me when I was 4 at the E.T. ride at Universal. From what I can remember my dad waited in line with me for about 45 minutes when I freaked out because I was afraid I was going to ride an actual bicycle to the moon. I was afraid that I would fall off the bicycle and die. my dad tried as hard as he could to convince me this was just a ride, and we would not be going to the moon, but we ended us leaving the ride queue and my dad was not a happy camper because of the wasted time.

Overheard this teen girl in a gift shop. "Walt's a real person? Wow, I thought he was a character".

When I was at Epcot two weeks ago, I was walking to the front entrance with my mom and heard these teenage girls talking to their mom. The monorail came by in the track and one of the girls exclaimed," Did you know that the monorail goes 120 mph?" My mom and I had to control our laughter.

One of my favorites was overhearing a conversation a couple was having on the type of degrees you could go to college for at the "Disney Institute" when that was still in existence.
Second was when I was asked if "Coronado Springs is that place where you can dig up dinosaur bones and SH*T?" Not sure how the Boneyard at DAK got confused with an unrelated resort, but it was still amusing.

Watching Captain EO during its revival a few years ago, a dad sits with his 8-9 year old son.
Son: "So what is this?"
Dad: "It's a 3D movie with Michael Jackson. It's a classic. It's beautiful. You'll love it."
Afterwards, the kid just says to his dad, "I saw no beauty in that."

I can understand a newbie confusing CSRs Dig Site with AKs Bone Yard. The Dig Site really does sound more like a dinosaur site than a swimming pool

We overheard sooo many nuggets on our summer 2016 trip, but my favorite started out with a young father speaking to my husband...the rest of the exchange was overheard by us:
Having just arrived that day, we were on the boat from POR to DS; husband and I were in the last seat in the back. Young couple with 3 boys crams into seat across from us. My husband is studying a map of...something, can't remember what, possibly DS. The husband from the young couple appears intrigued and asks where my husband got the map. From our Disney travel agent, he replied. The other husband looked at it a bit more, then eagerly showed it to his wife.
The wife took one look at him and immediately began berating him for not being able to magically procure such a map while on this very boat! She repeatedly asked him where the map came from, why didn't he get one, etc. while rolling her eyes at him. We slinked back into our seat and stared blankly forward...down into the water...anywhere but at these people, while listening to her in abject horror. They stood up to depart at an earlier stop than us, so the whole family stood up with the husband now standing in the aisle right next to my husband. Kind of like being in the back of an airplane, there was nowhere else to go. The wife barked at him to MOVE!!! He whimpered that he couldn't while kind of poking his knee into my husband's side. We were, again, rigidly uncomfortable to be in the middle of this marital dispute. It would have been funnier if it wasn't so sad. I do not know what may have transpired before the boat ride, but the boys were quiet and still the entire time and husband seemed like a nice guy.

It must be kinda crazy to be so obscenely rich that you can go to the bank, ask for $20k to take the family to Disney World, and they'll just hand over cash without any problem.

Someone could borrow that amount of money on a home equity line of credit and not be "obscenely rich".
If you have to borrow that kind of money for a trip, you probably shouldn't be taking the vacation, but people make dumb financial decisions all the time.

Absolutely! But taking out large loans usually involves telling a bank why you need a loan. I think for a lot of people, walking into a bank and asking for that kind of money to go on vacation would cause a whole lot of raised eyebrows and questioning. If you're well-off enough that a bank lets you take out loans for things like vacations, you've definitely got a nice relationship with your bank.

Not to digress from the topic at hand, but this made me laugh because when I was a kid, my parents wanted to take me to see Cats on Broadway, but I had heard that the "cats" come out into the audience, and I was allergic to and afraid of cats so I didn't want to go! LOL

If you have a HELOC, it's basically a secured credit card against your home's equity. The line shouldn't be in place at all if the bank didn't think your income wasn't capable of paying back the monthly payments, but lots of banks are asset-based lenders, so as long as you have a certain amount of equity, the bank will lend the money because they'll just foreclose on the house if you can't pay. For example, if you're in the 15th year of a 200,000 20-year mortgage, your balance is around $60,000. Assuming a bank will lend up to 80% of your home's value (let's just say it's $200,000 to make it easy), you can draw up to $100,000 off of that line.
This doesn't mean you're obscenely rich, just that you've been paying on an asset's debt for a long time and haven't drawn it back up. I agree with you on the sentiment, but there are a lot of people that would have the ability to do something like that that wouldn't be considered obscenely rich. It's still a dumb move.
Sidetrack over...back to funny stuff overheard at Disney!
