I've had many funny things happen at WDW. (Although some things were funny just to me and my cousin, and we're the only ones who find them funny.)
When I was at the MK back in 2001, my cousin and I were headed towards Space Mountain. This big guy, who was about the same size as Ruben from American Idol, was walking there too. He said in a loud, deep voice "SPACE MOUNTAIN!!" It became a running joke for the rest of the trip for us to announce where we were going by saying it in a deep voice like that, or if not that, in a Sean Connery voice.
One time at AK, I went on the Kali River Rapids. I was seated next to a big guy like myself. When we went down a hill, I was going down first. So when we reached the bottom my back was facing directly forward. This meant that I bore most of the wave. Needless to say, I was completely soaked. I think I got more wet than I would have if I jumped directly into the water.
On the same trip, at Epcot, my grandma and her sister came with us. They were both in wheelchairs and pretty tired by the time we got around to the Universe of Energy. We wheeled each of them into a back corner of the wehicle, while the rest of my family had the entire back row to ourselves. After about 5 minutes we looked at each of them, and they were both fast asleep.
Last trip we ate a dinner at the Garden Grill, as we do each trip. Part way into the meal, when Dale came over, he started dancing right near our table. The waiters were clapping and saying, "Go Dale! Go Dale!" I found it really funny, but I was upset that I didn't take a movie clip of it, and I had my camera right there.
While we were at Universal Studios this past summer, we went on Twister. In one of the pre-shows, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are talking about tornadoes and stuff. Helen was talking on one of the screens and turned to look at Bill, who had the next line. But just as she turned, the screen with Bill went blank, so it looked like she was looking at the malfunctioning screen. It wasn't the only malfunction. Once we got into the final pre-show (the room that looks like a tornado hit it), the lights went out and we weren't able to go into the actual ride. We had a choice of waiting it out, or exiting the ride through an emergency door. We waited it out (it was like a 30-40 minute wait), and heard lots of rumors during the wait. Some said that a transformer or something blew; that a bunch of rides were out; that the whole park was out; that this was the first time this happened in like 10 years; etc. I guess, for me, this was like a precursor to the blackout. And during both power outage incidents, I had a great time - lots of memories.
I've heard about living statues in WDW, but the only type of this that I ever saw in person was at Universal. At and around BTTF, there's a guy walking around who looks like Doc Brown from the movies. When we exited the ride, he was standing near the exit outside. My cousin actually poked him, but he did nothing - we thought it was a statue or something. About 20 seconds later, we heard all these screams behind us. Doc Brown was walking through the crowd, startling everyone he walked by. Later on we saw him standing still as a statue by the DeLorian. And even later we saw him riding his 50's-style bike through the park.
As in most parts of the country, we have a few local companies that have been doing corny TV commercials for years now. For us up here, it's Bob's Discount Furniture - and his commercials have been running for well over 10 years now. But my cousin and I were mesmorized when we first saw the Appliance Direct and Family Auto Mart commercials. I know you guys down there must be used to them, but we just couldn't get enough of them. I have yet to get a t-shirt stating "I Love Refrigerators", but I usually refer to the area as "Orlando, Orlando, O-O-Orlando".
However, the funniest thing that I do in WDW (and pretty much anywhere) is looking for interesting looking people. The is usually only funny to me and person I'm playing it with. By interesting looking people, I mean people who look like celebrities, political figures, sports figures, teachers we've had, family members, or anyone we know or can think of. The fun starts when you get combo people (people who look like two or more people). It's a great way to kill time while waiting in line.
You may find these funny, maybe not. They were to me around 2:00 last night when I was trying to fall asleep. I don't know - this may be funny, maybe not. It's late. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed. :snore:
