The Things Kids Say.............

[Dinardo]

I thought this would be a neat and fun thread.

We first took my stepson to Disney World at age 4. He had never heard of the place, and didn't know what to expect. He made up his own names to the rides he went on.

For Example:

Stick Boat Ride = Splash Mountain

Joseph Ride = Spaceship Earth (I am guessing because he was learning about Jesus's father at the time.)

Viking Ride = Maelstrom (pretty obvious)

You get the idea.

What are the names that your kids have given the rides they love?

the train ride=BTMRR
the water ride=SpM
the space ride=SM
the elevator ride=duh

my aspie 5yr old son
"its a monorail because mono means 1 and it has 1 rail that it rides on. It's not a train cause train tracks have two rails." That's how he sees it and there's no arguing with his logic.

I posted this once before, on his first visit to WDW DS that age & remarked that the Wilderness Lodge was like a great big log cabin. So I asked him about the theme of some of the other resorts
Animal Kingdom was “like a hut in Africa”
The Beach Club was “like Nana’s cottage on the Cape” (Cod)
The Polynesian was “like the islands in the Pacific Ocean”
The Contemporary Grand Canyon Concourse was “like the hanger bay from star wars”
The Grand Floridian was “like rich people dad”

isn't that exactly why it's called a monorail???

A couple of years ago, my sister and her family came down to visit us and to go to Disney World. It was their first trip down since the birth of their oldest daughter, who was three at the time.

For this trip, they rented a car at the airport, drove out to our house to spend a few days doing the zoo, the beach, other local attractions, and then spent about a week at Disney staying in one of the hotels on HPB.

To try to make things as smooth as possible for them, we met them at the airport so we could help them wrangle luggage and kids (they also have a second daughter who was about 18 months at the time), car seats and strollers, and so they could just follow us home instead of having to get directions or rely on GPS.

So anyway, we met them at the airport, helped them claim their luggage, and then went to the car rental counter, where there was a line we had to wait on. After a few minutes waiting on line, my niece asked what ride we were waiting to go on. It was funny and cute, but was also an interesting juxtaposition. She'd never been to Disney before and didn't know what to expect, which was obviously a requirement for her to think we were waiting for a ride. At the same time, I'm not sure how she came to associate waiting on line with Disney. Maybe my sister prepared her.

Yep. It's technically not a monorail if it travels on more than one rail.

When we were little, we went on a trip with my family and my aunts family. All my cousins and stuff. My dad rented a huge van like from the airport and we all drove down from New Orleans which was a 12 hour trip at the time. We did ten days in Disney and then all drove back. When we were dropping off my aunt and cousins, one of my little cousins said "Thanks for the ride, Uncle Glenn" and jumped out the van. It was just so funny because it wasnt thanks for taking me to disney or anything like that. Just thanks for the ride. He's now 26 and we still pick on him.

LOL. I've got family that does that, or at least used to. The first time it was like an Abbott and Costello skit.

"Want to go to Disney tomorrow?"

"Sure. Which park?"

"I just told you. Disney!"

"I know, but which park? Animal Kingdom? Epcot?"

"No, AK closes too early and I don't like Epcot. Let's just go to Disney. You know, the one with the castle!"

When we first started talking about taking our daughter on her first trip to WDW she was 4. So we showed her movies and pictures just to get her ready. She decided her favorite characters were Ploodle (pluto) and Prayer Rabbit(Brer Rabbit). We still have fun with it. That year the only thing she wanted to buy was a prayer rabbit. She is 13 now and every once in a while she will say ploodle. Of course it just isn't as cute as when she was 4. :lol:

Well, it's not a cute little kid thing but ya gotta appreciate the thoughts of preteen boys.

In January we had my in-laws at WDW with us. My MIL loves middle eastern food & requested Restaurant Marrakesh which I scheduled for our 1st night. A few hours before dinner my 12 year old son says to me, "Mom, I'm hungry. When & where are we eating?" Here's the rest of the conversation:

Me: "We're eating at Marrakesh in Morocco at (whatever the time was)."

Brian: "What?! Why?! Why aren't we eating somewhere normal like we usually do."

Me: "Where would that be?"

Brian: "Biergarten or something. What the heck is Marrakesh? I'm not eating."

Me: "Mimi only asked to eat at a couple restaurants during this trip and this is one of them. How do you know you don't like it? You've never tried it. Give it a chance."

Brian: "I'm too hungry to eat weird stuff."

Me: "It's not weird. Give it a try. Besides, there's entertainment."

Brian: "What kind of entertainment?"

Me: "They have music and a belly dancer."

Brian (now becoming curious): "What's a belly dancer?"

Me: "It's a lady who wears a neat costume and you can see her belly. She dances. Hence - belly dancing. It's interesting. You'll like it."

Brian (now totally fascinated....with an excited air of hope): "Oooh! Does she wear a top???"

Me (now wanting to smack my son for even thinking it): "Yes, Brian. They don't do topless dancers at Walt Disney World."


So, yeah, gotta love the thought process of the preteen boys. :lol: We ended up sitting in a far out of the way corner so we couldn't really see the dancing. Brian was so totally enthralled with my lamb dinner, ate most of it, and has found his new favorite food. He never even missed the dancing chick. :lol:

It's not just preteen boys! We ate there (it was very good) and I left my camera on the table with my husband and when I came back I started looking at pictures on it and there must have been 50 pictures of the belly dancer. :ROFLOL: I was only gone maybe 5 mins.
