what are some funny moments waiting in line

[DisneyMarg]

On our trip the week before Easter, we missed Pooh's Adventure and on the bus back to the resort, we were talking to this very tired family. I asked one of the children what her favorite thing was and she said "Pooh's Adventure" (or whatever it's called). Then I asked her what it was like and she clammed up, like kids do, but Daddy filled in for her. "Oh, it's boats that go through these dolls...." I saw the Mom roll her eyes but too tired to protest. I thought it was hilarious. All those rides do run together after while!

Just last Tuesday, my boyfriend and I were standing in line for The Great Movie Ride. There was a family in front of us with 2 kids. First, the kids were acting up and the grandmother decided to whip out a white plastic spoon to smack the kid with it. After that, she carried it "just in case" I guess. Then, when we came to a stop in the line, the grandmother took one of the kids over to a wall and let him urinate on it :brick:

, do people have no moral standards. Great thing to let your grandchild do, urinate on a wall while waiting on line. :fork:

Ahh.. WDW - bringing together all classes of society...

Mine was entering theatre 1 in the Universe of Energy in 1990. As everyone shuffles out of the preshow and into the main theatre a mother and daughter were right in front of us - you know how crowded the shuffle gets - and right as they walk into a pool of light the daughter goes `I`m not gonna ask him...` and mums response? Whack with the park map right on the daughters nose. What makes it funny is that I got it on video, totally by accident. It fills the whole screen.

I hope they`ve made up by now...

i'm sure i've mentioned this before in another thread...

my fiance and i were on line for PotC and there was a group of four teenage boys (i think HS seniors) in front of us. they were being obnoxious and started chatting with the female CM who asked how many were in your party. they were teasing her saying: "gee, it must be nice to get paid minimum wage for standing around all day.." (or something to that affect). the funny part was when the CM politely retorted back: "we all enjoy our jobs and for your information we make about $14 an hour." and it was great to see the one jerk guy look had been taken down a peg, his friends were laughing at him as well.

i found that kinda funny

While DH and I were waiting in line, this couple asked us how old we were, and when we told him we were twenty-three, he was shocked. He thought we just turned eighteen. (DH and I were wearing our Bride and Groom Mouse Ears. We were on our honeymoon.) I know it's not laugh out loud funny, but we found it amusing.

I suppose mine is more smugness than humor, but here it goes anyway. Early in the morning before the gates opened at MK. I'm standing in the pile of humanity waiting to get in for the character breakfast (I'm waiting for a tour). This absolute jerk of a dad comes in with his two charming brats and a whiny mom in tow (I'm not generalizing -- these folks were really rude). They were extremly loud -- the kids were cranky -- but the dad was the worst. He was cussing at his kids (lots of little nearby ears were burning), calling them "punk" and "jerk" and other loving terms. He was, in his words, "gonna start a riot" beacuse a group of people was let in before him. That group of people was made up entirely of new CMs taking the training tour. He was fighting with his wife, etc, and just basically causing a big scene. After about a half-hour of this nonsense, he finally griped that they'd better let him in soon or he'd, again, "tart a riot" because it was almost time for their priority seating at Chef Mickeys.

Silence. Uncomfortable silence. Who would tell this jerk that he had screwed up?

Of the several AP folks around me, I was the first to speak up. "Excuse me sir... did you say you had priotiry seating at Chef Mickey's?"

"Yeah."

"Sir, Chef Mickey's is over at the Contemporary resort, not here at the Magic Kingdom."

"WHAT?"

(etc etc etc etc etc)

I told him he could take the monorail, but it might take too long. If he was late, they might just want to take the five-minute walk. He still opted for the monorail, as opposed to pushing a double stroller through the lot.

Anybody else I would have felt extremely sorry for. But this guy -- it just felt good to see the look on his face after the way he'd acted like such a jerk.

What a classic! You couldn`t script something that good :lol:

I was waiting in line for BTMR, one of those lines that starts at the bottom of the ramp out front. Well, we were saved from the boredom by a gentlemen who knew quite a bit of slight of hand and was more than willing to share. He was pulling coins out of the air and making things disappear, while at the same time throwing in a little comedy. I remember when we we had finally reach the far side, just before you start going down to the ride loading, he
started "mooing", which got a few other people doing it, we were all laughing
and it really helped.

A few years ago I was with a large group of friends all waiting in line for Splash Mountain. We were in the outside part on the far side, near the exit shop and photo area. Well we were getting tired of standing so I hopped up and sat on the wooden railing behind me, as did another of my friends. Thinking that this was an excellent idea another friend decided to jump up...Well he threw himself on to the railing, but exerted a little to much force and flew off behind the railing into the bushes. Everyone around starts laughing hysterically as he pulls himself out and over. I have never seen anyone turn that bright red, and I don't think I have ever laughed that hard.

Picture this, it is the end of a hot day at Magic Kingdom. Everyone is trying to get onto their respective buses to go back to their hotel. My three year old who was over tired (of course) and falling asleep standing up. My fiance was getting on my nerves, my three year old was getting on my nerves and I was hot sweaty and had to go to the bathroom. Because the line was so long we knew that we would be standing for our bus ride back to the hotel. We get on the bus and it is dead silent. There was this woman on the bus, I think with her son, she started talking loudly to this 11 year old boy who was mortified that his mom was carrying a mickey mouse balloon. Loudly she kept saying "You know you want to hold your balloon". This kids name was Eddie, and she kept saying "Here you go EEEEEDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE" She kept dragging out his name in this deep voice. This kid was positively mortifed and everyone on the bus was looking around at each other like "what is wrong with this lady". It made what would've been a horrible bus ride pretty darn funny. Me and my fiance still talk about "EEEEEEDDDDDDIIIIEEEEE".

My sister and I were in line for ToT, and the line wasn't really moving at all. Since I was bored, I decided to try and feed the little birds that fly around everywhere in WDW. I broke off some of the grahm cracker I was eating to try and feed them, but I didn't realize one of the ToT CMs had come up the fast pass line and was standing behind me. He touched my shoulder and said 'You shouldn't do that' in like a creepy voice. I screamed and started yelling for him to get away and threw myself aginst the little garden wall in an attempt to get away. So then the CM got all scared and said 'Hey... calm down... I was only kidding around, go ahead and feed them'.
I'm too easily startled and scared sometimes, and my sister was laughing at me for it for the rest of the day.

Another time we were at the hotel, with my sis, my dad and me. We were walking and saw a oppossum. My sis got scared, and asked me what it was. To mess with her I said it was a big rat, and that they have them all over in Florida. She freaked out and started franctically telling my dad they had huge rats. My dad told her it was a oppossum, so I got to laugh at her.

Ok,this started out as a bad situation, but eventually became hilarious:

At IoA, while waiting in line for Poseidon's Fury one night, these stupid teenagers ( I can rightfully say that as a teen myself ...but not for long...) decided to light up in que. Yes in the que, and I'm sure ya'll are very aware that most of the que is INSIDE. They couldnt have been more than 18 either. Now this big burly type of guy absolutely goes off on them, and it was hilarious. He was so friggin mad, and was totally red in the face. Spit was flying everywhere and everything. He even made it a point to tell them he was a smoker himself by taking out his own Cigs, but that at least he had a little more sense and decency to wait until AFTER they get out of rides to light up. The rest of the crowd around us, all decide to start chanting "put it out, put it out".

Everyone in there was throwing insults, and let me tell ya... they werent clean! Luckily there werent many kids around (come to think of it... I dont remember seeing any, but I could be wrong). The CM came over and was totally ticked off! She "escorted" them out, but right before, she could do that, two of the teens, turned around and gave us the bird. It was GREAT. The whole crowd was totally laughing their @$$es off. Talk about mob mentality....

My sister & I were standing in line for the Hall of Presidents, which I really didn't want to do, but she did. I was telling her just really random stuff about WDW. I joked that they had changed what President Clinton says to,"I did not have sexual relations." My sister, being ever-so gullible, believed me. As we're walking out, she says to me "When does Clinton say 'I did not have sexual relations'? 'Cause I didn't hear it." I then told her that I was joking & she now gets upset whenever I mention it.

We were at SeaWorld a couple of years ago and I was in the queue at the Hospitality Centre to claim my free sample of Mr Busch's finest product, when I caught the tail end of a conversation between another guest and the guy behind the bar:

Guy behind the bar: "Yes sir, it is"
Guest: "You're joking me!"
Guy behind the bar: "No sir"
Guest: "Really?"
Guy behind the bar: "Really sir"
Guest: (At extremely high volume across the whole of Hospitality Centre) "Hey Hunny, you n' the kids git y' over here! You ain't gonna believe this! It's FREE!!!!"

when i was in line for a ride at sixflags,we had to wait like 2 hours,and these teenagers were being funny (for once...)and they would sit on the rope and antoher one would sit on the other side,and they would get up suddenly and people would spring inot the air.lol.

As being a CM ive been in a few lines, and have learned that any line outside in the real world is nothing compared to WDW!

On my Day off i went to BTMR, a youngster decided that it would be fun to cut in line and then just be rude.. He made up this story about how is grandmother was sick and sitting in a wheel chair and he needed to get on the ride... the people around me were shaking their heads..
Rewind..
Earlier i had been talking to my fellow standers in line.. and had been talkin with them and talking with them... i had devolged that i was a CM...
Play...
One of the guys said how funny it would be to tell the kid that i was with security and would have to take him off the ride if he didnt shape up...
So I did... The kids face was priceless.. needless to say the rest of the 30 min wait was pleasant and i got to talk to all the people i wanted!!

she kept saying "Here you go EEEEEDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE" She kept dragging out his name in this deep voice.

I went to MGM yesterday and I made the mistake of wearing a nice long-sleeve blue shirt and black pants. The weather was very nice and I felt like dressing a little nicer than usual. I also was wearing my laynard full of pins. Well while waiting in line and walking around the parks I had probably about 15-20 people come over to me during the day and me questions about the park or wanting to trade pins. Most of the pins I have are the standard easy to get pins, but I had em all in lock-down so I was not able to trade (I forgot my little wrench). So I had to tell people I that I was unable to trade. While in line for the animation studio, one father got pretty irrate with me that all employees had to trade with park guests. It finally dawned on me why so many people approached me. People thought I was a CM. I guess quite a few of the management wears the same type of clothing I was wearing and had a laynard full of pins. The only thing I was missing was a nametag. When I explained to the father I was not a CM he apologized though I explained that I had learned my lesson not to wear this shirt with my laynard next time I came to any of the parks. I fianally had to remove my laynard because of all the questions and I did not want to be convicted of impersonating a CM.
