What is The Weirdest/Funniest Thing That You've Seen at Disney?

[Gitson Shiggles]

It’s time to dust this one off from 2003.

Preface: The parades for that evening had been cancelled due to consistent heavy rain lasting into the evening. This may explain why characters who are not normally at Chef Mickey’s were there.

While at Chef Mickey's late one night, I witnessed some ridiculous behavior from some of the characters.

Most of the guests with children had already dwindled out by the time, and there were only a handful of stragglers left in the area where I was seated. Two girls seated near me were very chummy with the characters. No, these weren't everyday character whores. These girls seemed to know the characters’ “friends” personally.

First, they stalled Goofy for awhile. The character wrangler CM (sorry, I don't know the official name) interrupted Goofy to tell there were sections of the restaurant he should visit. Then came along Dale sans Chip. This is where it gets interesting.

Dale hung around some time, schmoozing and goofing off with these girls. Next thing I see, Dale has his fists to each side, pumping his pelvis in the air! Astounded and amused, I returned to keeping to my own business. This did not last long, however.

"Bad Dale! Bad, Bad, Dale!" said one of the girls, as if Dale was a dog. Dale was bent over and she was spanking him.

Later, this same girl also chatted with Peter Pan there. This interaction at least remained family friendly, yet was still interesting in it's own way. The cast member managed to communicate "call me", thumb and pinky splayed, while staying in character.

Maybe the girls were cast members or possibly characters’ “friends” themselves, considering how well they got along with Dale, Peter, etc. I dunno. I got a good laugh and a memory that would last. Would I laugh if it happened again? Yep. Unlike last time, I would report it. Thankfully, no children were around to witness the "Dale Incident".

We don’t witness odd things so much as they come to us.

On the day of WDW’s 40th anniversary, we went to the celebratory parade and received 40th anniversary buttons, one for each of us. On the monorail back to the GF, this adult woman approached us and started admiring the buttons. She was relentless about how some relative would really like a button, but it seemed as though she really wanted it for herself. She started touching my husband’s button on his chest , which made him very uncomfortable. He was clear that he wasn’t giving it up, but what chutzpah!

One day, we were eating Mickey bars on a bench outside the BWI. Once again, a random woman came up and said, “Hey, can I have some?” Ha, ha, ha. Funny for the moment, right? However, once again, this lady would not go away. She continued to ask for ice cream. I thought she might actually try to grab my husband’s Mickey bar. I don’t know if she was drunk or just had a misguided sense of humor. BTW, my husband is adorable, but grown women don’t attack him anywhere but WDW.

One time, we were waiting for our table at the Sci Fi Dine In Theater. The waiting area was extremely crowded. My son was sitting down. A man was standing directly above him. The operative term is “directly”as that man passed (loud) gas literally on my son!

Finally, one of the silliest things yoy may have seen at WDW is the Mad Hatter driving a white convertible Mustang through the Epcot parking lot. That was my hubby on his 50th birthday!

One very precious thing that we saw on the Disney Magic was a little girl of color dressed as Cinderella for formal night. She was accompanied by her two daddies. I was impressed at how beautiful she looked from head to toe. Hair, gown, shoes—-it was all just perfect. I said, “Don’t you look beautiful, Cinderella!” One of the daddies said, “Cursey for the lady, Cinderella.” And she did, like a total princess.

Two years ago my family and I were Epcot and spotted this patriotic fellow

If you ask my kids, the answer will be me on the Kilimanjaro Safari. We had a fast pass booked but arrived at the tail end of the time slot. Now excuse my straight talking, but as we went in, I needed a poo but thought I could wait until we finished the ride. Being my first time on KS, I hadn’t realised quite how bumpy the whole experience is and I spent the entire trip concentrating on not soiling myself to my 3 teens amusement and my wife telling me it was my own fault. Fortunately there was a toilet right next to the exit and my trousers were saved.

The "impending doom" situation has been my experience twice.

1. I was getting on Kilimanjaro Safari and there were three of us (my wife, myself, and a stranger). Suddenly, two older people join us and we are all sitting cheek-to-cheek. Now, I had started to develop some claustrophobia that was low level and figured, "Eh, i can make it through the ride." Except, I hadn't counted on the giraffes. They stopped us for ten minutes or more. Meanwhile, I'm panicking and silently cursing the people who have squished me into my seat. I'm popping Pepto-Bismol tablets like they're M&M's and finally the truck keeps moving. The ride ends and I nearly pushed the poor older people off of the truck as I sprinted off.

2. Probably same trip. Was in line for PoTC back when there was no fastpass and so the line was moving fast. I thought, "Hmm, I may need to go." I ignored the early warning and sat down in the boat with my wife. Suddenly, the early warning turned to an instant emergency call the bullpen. I asked the cast member if I could get out but we had moved a little and couldn't. I was so sick at this point. So, I laid my head in my wife's lap and focused on getting through the next seven minutes with chills and unusual rumblings emanating from my severely distressed digestive system. Though the ride was stacked for off-loading, I made it through unscathed. I then couldn't remember where the restrooms were and had to basically run/walk/run/walk until I found them. Not sure how I made it.

On a recent trip to WDW, We had six nights booked at PO Riverside with the extended family but an extra arrival-day night for just my family booked at French Quarter. So, we arrive, hang out, have fun, crash and pack up in the morning to walk down to Riverside to check into our new room. As we are walking out of our building to head over, I asked my wife whether we have to check out in person at the front desk or if it's ok to just leave. A friendly mom walking past, refillable mug in hand, overheard me and decided to join in the conversation: "Yes, you should definitely go to the front desk to settle up your indiscretions."

Since we didn't have any incidentals (and I hadn't noticed any confessionals on the way in), we decided to bypass the front desk anyway.

Very recently actually (like a few weeks ago), I was in the fastpass line for Space Mountain and behind us, three kids who seemed to be about 15 were bragging about how they jumped lines (from standby to fastpass) thinking they had outsmarted everyone and unfortunately for them, they did not seem to realize they had to scan fastpasses a second time. I watched them get escorted out upon reaching the second scan. Moral is don't skip lines lol

Some people may not find this funny but what really makes it funny for me was the fact they were bragging to me and my friend about it as if they were geniuses. They ultimately found out the joke was on them.

If they would re-scan ALL fast pass lines that would cut way back on the line jumping.

I go to Walmart I'd say 3 times a week on average. I've yet to see any of that kinda stuff. If that doesn't change soon, I'm going to stop going there. Now, that's not to say I haven't seen some strange looking people, but, you find them everywhere.

Ours is near a college and the only strange things I see are the students in their pajamas.

We were at Animal Kingdom and were walking the trail last year when we came into the gorilla glassed-in viewing room/location.

There was a young CM standing there, and you could tell she was completely bored out of her mind....it was late in the day, hot, and I'm sure she was tired of standing and answering questions and wanted to be ANYWHERE but where she was assigned at that moment.

There were no gorillas in sight, but oddly enough, a large white rabbit was sitting in the pen area where they SHOULD have been.

Jokingly I said to my wife, 'Odd. I kind of thought gorillas were bigger than that.'

The CM, turned to us, and said without any emotion at all, 'That's not a gorilla. That's a rabbit'.

Seriously? I felt like we were facing Wednesday Addams!

My wife and I looked at each other, and she asked,' so, where are the gorillas now?'

The CM, without smiling or batting an eye said, 'They're in the pen.'

Once again, in a joking manner a big smile, my wife said 'oh, make them come back!'

The young lady, still not smiling or moving said, 'we don't do that. They're wild animals.'

She then turned back to the glass and just stood there.

We had to drag our adult age kids off who were primed to start asking more questions to see what she'd say.

I wouldn't be surprised if she has posted on some website somewhere about these two old folks who actually thought a white rabbit was a gorilla!

We still laugh about this, and every time we find ourselves in the gorilla location, we go in saying 'where's the rabbit? I'm here for the rabbit!'

Omg! That is hilarious. I needed a chuckle today, thanks!
