What's the funniest thing that happened to you at DW

[tiggermarie]

On our trip this past January 2010, I got a photo of the Mayor of Main Street in MK. Then had him sign my book, he hung his cane on my arm. Then a little girl came up and wanted him to sign her book too. Not thinking of the cane, I walk off with it still on my arm to get a photo of the mayor’s wife. Then out of now where we heard "WHERE IS MY CANE", Looking down it hit me that I still had the cane on my arm. Boy did my face turn RED. My Husband still laugh at me about it. :lol:

I can't narrow it down to one. So I'll just leave you with this very obscure blog entry I made a couple years ago:

Jenn, please tell you're kidding about trying to pick up the snake....

Ask James about all the shenanigans that went on in FW that night. The snake was only one part of it... :lookaroun

I have posted this before but DW and I still laugh at it every time we see the Grand Floridian for the first time on subsequent trips.
When DS was 8 we were touring the monorail resorts one day and while walking through the lobby of the GF my son smelled food, declared he was hungry and asked if we could get a snack. I said yes and he said “I think we can get something to eat over here dad.” The following happened in rapid succession.
My son dressed in shorts, sneakers and his Tom Brady football shirt walked right by the hostess for My Disney girl’s perfect princess tea.
The eyes of the hostess got big as saucers and she started to shake her head no.
All talking stopped as all the princesses look up and said “OH” I said it before and I’ll say it again, at least one princess battered her eyes at my son.
DS turned beet red, did a parade ground perfect about face and walked out of the tea.
The hostess and I burst out laughing; when I apologized she said she would not have missed it for the world.
DS was waiting about 10 feet away mad as the proverbial wet hen and muttering about girls having cooties.

Last summer we were riding Star Tours and the ride wouldn't work so we changed into a different ship but in this one the audio failed so we had all picture and no sound. It would have been pretty annoying excepty for a group of fellow travellers who decided to provide all of the sound effects for the ride. Probably one of those things that you needed to be there for but it was so funny.

When the ride finished the attendant came and restarted it with the correct sound. Third time lucky but it just wasn't as good without the improvised sound effects.

A couple of years ago, I was sitting just off Mainstreet, at a small table enjoying my ice cream...when all of a sudden... out of the tall flowers and grass...a duck head pops up just like a submarine periscope, looks around and pops back down into the foliage.

We laughed like crazy...watching for it again... and sure enough...the duck periscope reemerges! we shot a few pics, and waitied to see if it would happen again.

Little did we know...that while we are watching this duck do the best submarine impression ever...a second duck makes use of this clever distraction to go rumaging into the purse that mom had laid on the ground under our table.

This duck starts pulling out receipts and animal crackers and anything else it can find.

We figured we were victims of a special military covert duck operation!

Total Embarrassment!

When I was at Disney solo last November! I was walking slowly in line for the newly refurbished Space Mountain not watching where I was going while trying to multi-task by playing Scrabble on my cell phone and ran right into a wall! hahaha:ROFLOL:There was a family with 2 kids behind me that started laughing hysterically. I knew they saw me but I was so embarrassed I tried to play it off like nothing happened..lol At least I gave a family some extra entertainment..hahaha:wave: (side note: Im extremely clumsy and this type of thing happens a lot)!

The first time we went to Disney World with our children, our son(Max) was 6 and our daughter(Melissa) was 3. Melissa had just turned three and although she had mastered potty training for at least a month, Disney is very exciting and the last thing on her mnd was asking to go to the bathroom. From day one she fell in love with Spectro magic and needed to see every show. So my husbnd took my son on a few more rides and I took Melissa to see the parade again one night. A super nice family let me squeeze in to get a better view and I had Melissa up on my shoulders. It was July so you can imagine how hot it was. Well for a minute I thought maybe I was just really sweating when I quietly asked Melissa if she had an accident. All she could say was "sorry mommy, oh here comes the parade!". The family next to me was hysterical and at that point I figured what was 20 more minutes soaked in urine. But aside from her peeing on my shoulders, that was the greatest trip we ever had! The magic was so real for them.

Last september with our three kids we went to the luau, complete disaster from the start, no table, cant switch adrs from two diff ressies, we finally got sat, pouring rain, and my on, 7, figured out how to suck in his nostrils and make his nose really skinny, pretty freaky. We all started laughing, the the waitress comes around and hes like, look what i can do, it was so funny, he made a bad time great, and he did the rest of the trip.:ROFLOL:

Hmmm…

We don’t have kids – I’m the kid in our family per my wife. BUT we enjoy watching folks at the parks and at the food courts both on/off property. It’s always fun to start the day with a nice breakfast at a place and hear other family’s interacting and planning their day. OR having their day RUINED already at breakfast as kids mis-behave right out of the gate, say at 8:15AM. YUP, we count the number of slaps and empty reprimands given out each day by parents as they scold their mis-behaving kids. “FINE, then we are NOT going to the parks today…you can just stay in the room…if you can’t be good…”

FUNNY, right at breakfast!

We saw a little girl – 9ish - and her mommy one day at MK in the early afternoon arguing right in front of the castle. Not sure what caused the disagreement but the result was the little girl yelling at her mom, “Ok how about this deal? You and I never talk again!?!?!?”

WOW – really in the happiest place on earth?

Another time the wife and I were walking in the late evening in Tomorrow Land by the food place that serves the chicken and rice meals, can’t remember the name. We were coming from the Buzz area headed towards main street and thought we’d walk thru the food area to miss some of the congestion. On the walkway I spot a boy about 10 yrs old running towards us at full tilt. Then out of nowhere comes this long arm from behind him and snatches him by the back of the neck and stops him in his tracks. Its mommy! She wrestles him to the ground as she falls to the ground and puts him in the butt beating position face down as she begins to whale on his behind while yelling at him “sometimes it’s got to hurt…WHACK WHACK WHACK!” All within in 3 feet of us.

Just too funny!

What a way to end your day at WDW. We see between 8 to 12 conflicts each day between parents and their mis-behaving kids. It never amazes us. We always look at each other and laugh while saying did you see/hear that?!?!? They must be "all Disney'ed out..."

 

[tiaragirl]

Intoxicated 45-50 year old men on the Tower of Terror, yelling each other's names. I yell "LISAAA" my cousins name, making fun, and buddy whispers (loudly) to his friend "how did she know my wife's name was Lisa?!?!"

Then, of course, there was the fact that they literally fell in my fathers lap post-ride.

Needless to say, security escorted them out.

Good times, though.

In 2006 my wife and I took a last minute trip with her parents and "little sister", by "little sister" I mean, at the time she was about 18 years of age... She had almost finished her first year at college...

My wife, wife's sister, wife's mother and I went to the parks our very first full day at the World. It was a long day, and we finished up the day enjoying EMH at the Magic Kingdom. We were all tired and a little irritable... We were on the back of the resort bus just as it was pulling into SSR... My wife's little sister stands up, preparing to exit the bus...

Mother: "You should stay seated until the bus comes to a stop, you know... "
Little Sister : "I ride the bus to school every day.... I know how to ride the bus, Mother!"

At least "I know how to ride the bus, Mother!" is what she would have said, if she didn't fall over as the bus slowed down at the bus stop... She actually made it all the way to the word "Mother"... But it came out as "Maaaaaaa" as she fell onto the floor of the empty bus.

The three of us (who were still seated) erupted in laughter at poor little sister.... whom we promptly started to chide and goad. She wasn't hurt.

For the rest of the trip we asked her for her bus riding tips, and reneacted the scene over and over again in a number of locations... I even drew funny pictures of her riding the bus at the SSR counter service restaurant, in crayon on the big pads of newsprint, they have... To this day she is still the charter member of the PBRA (Professional Bus Riders Association)... :ROFLOL:

.... I don't think she's a member here, but I know her brother is!

A few years ago, my husband & I were getting on a Friendship boat at the International Gateway to go over to DHS and there was a family in front of us that had a little boy & a little girl. The boy looked to be about a year or so older than the little girl. (The oldest child couldn't of been more than 6 or 7 years old.) The girl must have done something to irritate the boy because he smacked her in the back of the head. The dad told the child in a stern voice not to hit his sister. The boy replied "I'm not hitting her, I'm loving her hair." My husband & I burst out laughing as we could not help it. My husband commented that the boy would make a great lawyer. The mom replied "that's what his dad does". By that point even the dad was laughing.

This story didn't happen to me, but it was something that I observed while visiting MK about a month ago.

While waiting to enter the theater for CoP at MK my wife and I overheard a couple reading the park map and discussing whether or not they should try CoP or spend the last minutes of the evening riding something else. It was obvious that they had never experienced CoP before. They agreed since they were already in line to give CoP a try.

During one of the show scenes a family decided to exit the theater. Apparently the debating couple saw the family leave, and decided that they would exit the theater about 2 minutes later.

The timing could not have been more perfect for what they thought would be an easy exit. When the couple got up, a CM and beeping alarm came over the intercom, and the CM told them to remain seated or the ride would automatically shut down. At the same time the CM was instructing them, Father had blown a fuse and all of the lights went out on the attraction. This made it seem as though they were responsible for a ride shut down, and when the lights came back on they were extremely red in the face and actually apoligized to some of the guests around them.

The time my daugher got me kicked out of AK! It was the last day of the trip when I got engaged. We were, of course, running late for a breakfast reservation at Donald's Restaurantosaurus. Anyway, my then fiancee was the one who held all of the room keys/tickets. We discover at the turnstile that my ticket is missing so my daughter puts hers in and I get through. When it didn't let her in a CM came over and let her in saying it was probably just a mistake. AFTER she gets in, she proceeds to tell the CM that I didn't have a ticket (not that I had one in the room) so she let me use hers. They told me I had to leave and to go guest services to get a temporary ticket.

I often see people who have just riden the Kali River Rapids ride in AK standing there totally soaked with water trying to figure out how to dry off. Some take off their socks and wring them out. Others head for the hot air blowers in the rest room.
They are laughing about it themselves.

So I'm at Animal Kingdom in one of the nature walks. I'm not sure which one it was. But at one point, there was (maybe still is?) a group of ducks. I believe the males had these bright blue bills and the females didn't. So I'm standing there looking at them with my ex-girlfriend who asks, "why do they have blue bills?"

I then proceeded to respond, without being aware of my surroundings, "because the female ducks probably got them too excited and didn't do anything about it".

Luckily, no kids were around, but several adults were laughing about my comment.

OK, this one made me laugh out loud! Worse than my three year old daughter gleefully announcing to everyone on the airplane, "Mommy, I just tooted!"
